Opener: The midweek winds to a close with some less intense games, but definitely ones with better angles to pursue - a team or two coming home, a few getting tired on the road, a rematch, and of course, plenty of injuries to track. Can I convince a... Read more

Opener: Who doesn't love a nice Thursday of NBA? We get a short card to work with, so the time consumption drops, and the games are always the most interesting of the week, outside of, perhaps, Sunday morning. This time around, we have the Lakers... Read more

Opener: I realize this space of the blog is often reserved for content to get everyone excited about another day of NBA, but today, it's for a tiny oddsmaker-directed rant. Why can't you post more than 3 out of 11 lines the day before?? Come... Read more

Opener: Day two of the "Link Experiment" is in full swing, and the overwhelmingly positive response on day one was certainly the fuel this old goat needs to power out not only the usual original content, but find some intriguing other destinations for... Read more

Opener: It's all business this week, after a strange weekend - teams that acquired a ton of new talent (Knicks, Utah, Denver) won their first games with new players and lost the second, while others (Thunder) lost two shorthanded contests. Still others (Cavs, Clippers, Trailblazers, Bobcats) are just now getting players into uniform Sports Wagering: NBA Chicago Bulls @ Washington Wizards with a total of N/A;... Read more
