If I Was a Gambling Man…
If I was a gambling man, which I’m of course not, I’d bet on the following NBA games for tonight…
[HOME TEAM IN CAPS]
I’d take the BOBCATS (-2.5) over the Nets – The Nets are very bad.
I’d take the Trail Blazers (+9) over the PISTONS – It’s the first game of a road trip and the Blazers will come out strong.
I’d take the Celtics (-5) over the TIMBERWOLVES – No KG (even though he is traveling with the team), but the C’s are too good to let the Wolves stay with them for two straight games.
*I’d take the Sonics (+13.5) over the SUNS – The Sonics are playing much better and the Suns are figuring out life post Marion. Too many points.
I’d take the Wizards (+11) over the NUGGETS – Even without Caron Butler, the Wizards have proven that they have too much pride to get smashed on the road by the Nuggets. I like this one the least though.
HOME TEAM IN CAPS
*Favorite of the night.

I like this article. Would love to see it become a more regular thing, maybe even complete with analysis of the previous picks. Keep it coming

LOL @ Supine for correcting grammar. The Blazers bet is a lot worse with Roy out. Fall back on that one.

We’re planning on making it a regular thing and also reviewing how we did. We’re not picking every game, just the one’s we like.

I’d take that bet on the Celts.
I think the Wolves will beat them tonight. KG saved Boston’s ass last time.
- no KG = Perkins and Powe getting destroyed by Big Al
- Bassy can outplay Rondo, who by the way is never going to be a top 5 PG and is benefitting from the Shaq-effect (Superstars make mediocre players look good, see: Manu Ginobili, Rob Horry, Mark Madsen, Tony Kuckoc, Daniel Gibson, and as Shaq suggests, Raja Bell is next in line)

Y’all didn’t learn anything from Tony in Blue Chips? Gambling is not a good road to go down.
