NBA / Feb 13, 2008 / 1:23 pm
If I were a gambler, which of course I’m not…
I should have gone 2-1 last night if the OT hadn’t killed the over/under of the Heat vs. Nuggets. Here is what I like tonight…
*LOVE the Spurs (-3) vs. CAVS – Big Z is banged up (although playing). Field day for Duncan.
Grizzlies (+9.5) vs. SIXERS – Can Memphis put together two solid games in a row? Is Philly really 9.5 points better than the Grizz?
UNDER of the Pacers vs. PISTONS (198) – The Pacers have no point guard and are coming off a toss loss. 198 is a lot of points for these two teams to score.
UNDER of the Suns vs. WARRIORS (238) – I know both these two teams light it up, but 238??? Gotta go under.
HOME TEAM IN CAPS
*My Favorite of the night

You. Are. Killing. Me. Smalls. It’s a good thing you aren’t a gambler, because you would be broke as Mike Jackson after the picks you’ve made the past three days. “I should have gone 2-1 last night”. Come on. I should have nailed Jessica Simpson last night, but she happens to live in a different state, and I happen to not know her. But I should have.

Ha! Do you even watch NBA basketball?! Pacers have no PG?! You must not be serious! They were up the entire game till Diener went out. He’s a better PG than Tinsley. Have you even seen his assists to TO ratio? The guy can dish it like mad & has a very deadly shot. I’ll say it here, he’s the next Steve Nash, that’s how good this kid is.

If Shaq plays Suns vs Warriors will be an all-washed-up game with Webber and Shaq vying for slowest player in the league.
Vertman – Denier is not much of a shooter and is 3 inches shorter than Nash. He is a nice back-up but the Pacers are missing a starting PG.
Speaking of memphis – Pat Riley seems likely to move Jason Williams expiring contract to a rebuilding team like Memphis, Seattle, or Minnesota….Mike Miller?

BUDDY, JUST STOP. Find a new job for the sake of those who still haven’t realized how horribly deficient your knowledge in basketball is!
Lol @ the lame OT excuse. Overtime is part of basketball, is it not? Here’s what I PREDICT in the coming days:
The Non-Gambler> I would’ve been 1-2 if Iverson hadn’t gone for 50..
The Non-Gambler> I would’ve been 2-2 if Kobe hadn’t reinjured his finger…
The Non-Gamber> Sorry guys, tough break. Who knew DHoward would score 25 and Gasol putting up 30? All unforseeable, tough break guys…
The Non-Gamber> If the Lakers hit that miracle three at the end and forced a high scoring OT, I would’ve pulled out one… sorry guys
