    Yeah I turned it off after halftime show. Turned it back on for first half of the late game. Looks like a missed a hell of a finish. I've seen the lakers and celtics play more than any team this season except maybe the Cavs. Sick of watching them.

    Only 2nd or 3rd time I've seen the Sac team play this year. They looked pretty good last night playing in front of a sold out crowd. Ibaka had a SICK defensive game with 10 blocks. I think Durrant is developing a Dirk like off the back foot fading away shot that is unblockable.

    That game was one of the better ones I've seen in a long time. Meaning the Sactown/OKC game. Unfortunately for Sactown, it was there ONLY national TV game all season.

    3 times I bet against OKC, 3 times I lose.

    So last night I picked them..and they lose.

    I mean does the sport betting gods just really hate me or what.

    For what it's worth, Jennings would look fantastic in purple and gold lol.

    No...he wouldn't. imo

    I'm so sick of the "Big Market" bs from FAs. Jennings needd to learn how to shoot the ball better. He is basically putting up SG numbers from the PG position. I like his game, but he has a lot of room for improvement.

    Sports betting will lose you money in the long run. Very few people actually consistently win money.

    Yeah I'm done.

    Luckily it's not my money I'm betting with..my dad won some money on that safety in the Super Bowl so he gave me some of his winnings to play around with...first time I've done sports betting (other than when I was betting in Vegas...which i won a lot on) and I'm sucking ass.
  • Commander of Awesome
    I won a lot betting in Vegas. Back in 07 I bet on the Indians to win every game while I was there and the Tribe were on a winning streak. I also bet on the Marlins to win a game with odds that you bet $5, you win 20. I bet $20 they'd win and they did. Great little run, left Vegas with more money in my pocket than what I had when I got there.
  • SportsAndLady
    Well that's a god damn miracle.

    I took a grand, lost $600 the first fucking night.

    Luckily the second day was Saturday so I won a bunch on college football, then a little on the NFL.

    Of course I lost all that on Monday before my plane flew out :(

    Right on. He's a slightly undersized 1 who plays like a 2. His scoring ability is top notch, but if he wants a ton of money, I don't know how he'd fit with the bigger market teams.

    You just described Westbrook

    Eh 6'3" isn't undersized for a PG, but I agree that they have similar playing styles even if their scoring abilities are different. That's why I'm a big believer that RW is a bad fit for OKC if they ever want to win a championship (not a fan of a PG who doesn't pass to arguably the best scorer in the league in crunch time).

    Yeah true. If you have the right kinda team I could see a Jennings/Westbrook type of Pg helping you out. Like Chicago and Rose

    The rest of the quote, the scoring 1st and might not fit in with the large market teams part. But you knew that just decided to be a smartass.

    Westbrook would fit in fine in LA,NY or Chicago.

    lol yeah, this year has been poor overall due to the lack of preparation time/training camps. The quality has been down a bit and it has shown.
  • wildcats20
    Nets/Pistons should be a classic match up. I will be watching on League Pass.
  • killer_ewok
    Jeremy Lin with 9 points and 3 assists in the first 5 minutes vs. the Lakers.

    thats what happens when u have a corpse guarding you
  • killer_ewok
    Linsanity is runnin' wild. 34 points for Jeremy Lin with about 5 to go. What a performance.
  • Automatik
    Lin is the truth! He's doing everything against the Lakeshow.
