NBA Playoffs Bet of the Day – April 29th, 2010

San Antonio is 20-9-1 ATS in their last 30 games and can close out the Mavs tonight at home with a win. A seasoned Spurs team gets it done in a very tight game. Good luck!

Spurs -3.5

Kobe King of Jersey Sales

Kobe Bryant is offically the most popular jersey in the NBA for the second year in a row. The list is formulated by the overall sales from NBAstore.com and the brick and mortar NBA Store located in the Big Apple. This might come as a surprise to many of you, but the two stores are having record years in respect to sales so the NBA does actually still have fans based on these numbers.

The Los Angeles Lakers continue to be the most popular team in respect to merchandise sales and have now been at the top for seven out of the last eight years. The Celtics, Cavs, Bulls and Knickerbockers round out the top five NBA squads that move merchandise.

Thirteen of the top fifteen players qualified for the 2010 Playoffs with only Chris Paul and David Lee not making the postseason. I do find it surprising that Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash didn’t make the list, but I guess they are getting older.

1. Kobe Bryant – Lakers
2. LeBron James – Cavs
3. Kevin Garnett – Celtics
4. Derrick Rose – Bulls
5. Dwight Howard – Magic
6. Dwyane Wade – Heat
7. Chris Paul – Hornets
8. Paul Pierce – Celtics
9. Kevin Durant – Thunder
10. Carmelo Anthony – Nuggets
11. Nate Robinson – Knicks/Celtics
12. David Lee – Knicks
13. Brandon Roy – Trail Blazers
14. Pau Gasol – Lakers
15. Rajon Rondo – Celtics

The Nuggets are in desperate need of a win tonight at home against the Jazz. I do think they get the victory, but not sure if they cover the seven-point spread in their favor. Going with the over. Good luck!

Nuggets/Jazz over 215

NBA Playoffs Bet of the Day – April 27th, 2010

Dwayne Wade played out of his mind on Sunday and helped the Heat avoid what was looking like a sweep in the series by the Celtics. Tonight Boston comes home and they get it done. The favorite is 11-3 in the last 14 meetings between the two teams. Good luck!

Celtics -6

The Hawks didn’t even show up to play on Saturday in Milwaukee and the Bucks made them pay with an 18 point loss. Atlanta comes back tonight focused and slips by in a tight game.

NBA Playoffs Bet of the Day – April 24th, 2010

Squeaked by with a win yesterday so heading into the weekend on a positive note. The Suns have dominated the injury plagued Trailblazers in the last two games and I think they get it done today. Good luck!

I have a gut feeling the Lakers take their foot off the accelerator this evening and the Oklahoma Thunder gets it done. The place will be rocking and rolling and Durant goes off. Good luck!

The Mavericks and Spurs could end up being the best first round matchup in the NBA Playoffs especially if they can get one tonight in Dallas. Good luck!

Tiny Has Changed His Mind

Just a few days ago Keith “Tiny” Gallon a center for the University of Oklahoma said he had full intentions of coming back to school next year for his sophomore year to play ball. Well, then news broke that Gallon received a $3,000 wire transfer from a financial advisor at Merrill Lynch that resulted in investigations being launched by the NCAA and Oklahoma. Quickly after the news broke “Tiny” decided to declare for the 2010 NBA Draft. I haven’t a clue what would have caused the sudden change of heart? The Oklahoma men’s basketball team could be in for more trouble and it hasn’t been that long since former head coach Kelvin Sampson left them hanging in a cloud of allegations.
