Pinky Ring Worth About Fiddy

Feels good to finally win some basketball bets again. Ok, so I had to go the cheap route and play money line bets on the heavy favorites. And maybe Gerald Wallace wasn't so "doubtful" afterall. And maybe Tim Duncan had to wash out his nappy fro at the half because he played the first two quarters with his head up his ass. It's still a win, and I'll take it.

In the other money line matchup, the Cavaliers easily took care of the Sonics. I'm shocked at just how bad Seattle is. Apparantly, Ray Allen should only be signed to one year deals, because the only time he's a team leader is during a contract year. C'mon Ray- What would Jesus (Shuttlesworth) Do? Maybe Nate McMillan leaving has something to do with the Sonics change of fortune. But I'm sure new coach Bob Weiss has some words of inspiration:
"It didn't seem like we had the fight," Sonics coach Bob Weiss. "I think a lot of it was hustle plays. They had a lot more juice than we did."

Ok. Maybe not. Until Seattle starts playing like they care about anything other than their checks clearing, the Sonics look like a great team to bet against.

In my 'off the record' pick, the Under between the Nuggets and Kings was good w/ 10 pts to spare. Hopefully this means I'm starting to see things well again.
