She's really bad and shouldn't be doing these games. She did the same thing she did a couple of weeks ago in the Denver/LA game of pretending a game that was over wasn't over. Same scenerio....team down double digits with less than two minutes left, with the losing team having given up, and she's discussing how much they are still in the game. The fans aren't idiots...so why is she lying?

And, yeah, I agree about the race discussions. They're about having opinions and constantly standing in the middle of the road helps nobody and just keeps the person doing it from ever being wrong ( or right ).

I'm actually at the point where I can listen to Sterling and Waldman, so it's not like I'm asking for much. But last night I couldn't deal with it. If ESPN can't get a crew together they should just pass the game on to TNT.

The dropoff, in general, with ESPN is huge. Other than Van Gundy they are pretty much just bad. Having Stephen A Smith is a disaster.

with plenty of time left >15min
the 1 and 4 are both 9/1 !

this is why i don't post in advance. (just kidding)

nobody wants to bet this race , maybe it is the CD xpressbet thing but hte pool is light.

you guys won't like this but the #6(romans/albarado FTS) is 7/2 odds but 6th choice in the show pool. Could be a late show bet situation if this porportion holds true to about a minute left.

*Chris Paul is maybe the best since Jordan , will have to see him keep this up.

i handicapped it
$5 to show on #6
i want at least 2.80

have no idea what that race looked like until the replay comes out.

Wasn't really a good race to go with the Losing Favorite theme because both "losing favorites" were avoided by the public and went off at higher odds.

I probably should have been more disciplined and just passed the race completely. The tendancy to bet a race simply because you handicapped it is a losing long term strategy.
