Ok I’ve been in the lovely Sin City Las Vegas for the last 3 days, and I concluded that they need a professional sports team.  Baseball, basketball, football.  Oh hell, even hockey.  Just give them something.  It will certainly draw more people out here.  Not like we need an excuse to go to Vegas, but this just adds another one to the column.

Speaking of Vegas, yes I bet on the NFL playoff games this week.  And yes, I won.  Ravens and Eagles!  Nice little payout.

The Warriors finally pick up a win today at home against the Pacers.  And if you saw that game, man it was too gut-wrenchingly close.  It was funny to see ex-Warrior, Mike Dunleavy bet boo’ed everytime he touched the ball. 

Crawford finished the game with 32 points, and hit the go-ahead 3 pointer with 11 seconds left.  The Warriors poor defense resulted in Danny Granger’s 42 points!  Honestly glad it was Granger with a big night rather than the ex-Warriors Mike Dunleavy or Troy Murphy.

I realized that this mighty, long-awaited win brought our record to a disappointing 11-28.  With only half of the season left, and the Conference only getting tougher, it might be time to build up our rooks for the next few years before the Warriors see any sort of playoff contention.

Did anyone catch that quick elbow from Belinelli to Granger in the first half?  haha those Italians.

There you have it.  The Celtics cannot win in Cleveland.  In last year’s Eastern Conference Finals, the Cav’s forced the Celtics to a 7th playoff game simply because the Celtics couldnt win away from Boston.  Lebron took over that playoff matchup when they were in Cleveland, but also couldnt lead his team to win in away from home.

Last night’s matchup between Boston and the Cavs was the first since the season opening game in October.  That victory win against Boston brought Lebron and the Cavs to an oustanding 19 home game wins. 

Lebron finished the game with 38 points while the Boston’s big 3 combined to 41 points.  The Cav’s retro jerseys are kinda funky.  I remember last year’s to be green.  I think they’re trying to copy the Warriors colors.

The last week has been awful for me in terms of sports betting.  Everything that seems to make sense just doesn’t work out.  And to top all that off, the Colts and the Falcons gave me a beating yesterday!  Matt Ryan went into the locker room at half time and came out as Ken Dorsey.  Both the Colts and the Falcons just decided to stop playing in the second half.

But today is a brand new day!  Eagles, check!  Ravens, check!  It was beautiful.  Ed Reed is absolutely amazing.  I don’t know if anyone else noticed, but on the second interception, he was about 10 yards away from the ball when Chad Pennington threw it.  I still have no idea how he got to the ball so fast.

Anyway, great day, great football.

Wow!  I just checked the lines for the NFL games for this weekend, and ALL the home teams are home underdogs.  Amazing.  But then on second look, none of the home teams look that good.  Cardinals?  Dolphins?  Chargers? Vikings?  Not sold on any of them.

• I really don’t think the Cardinals would even make it out of the NFC West had Mike Singletary been the 49ers head coach all season.  Plus, they haven’t been playing very well.

• The Dolphins can’t stand up to the mighty Ravens defense.  The TWICE comeback player of the year, Chad Pennington, can only go so far.  Seriously, how does someone win comeback player of the year twice?  You come back once, leave, and come back again?

• The Chargers offense is good, but Indy is experienced and ex-Superbowl Champs. This year’s LT is not the same LT.  I should know… he was on my fantasy team!

• The Eagles are red hot.  The Vikings are not.  And Pat Williams has a broken bone in his right shoulder.  And the Vikings can’t even sell out their first home playoff game in the last 8 years.  And the Vikings haven’t even been to the playoffs since 2004.

Hmm… betting on 4 road teams might be kind of crazy though.  I gotta be missing something here.
