    Idk about with the starters, but maybe with the bench.

    Not a very nice line to bet on anyways, total crapshoot. Starters or bench. 30 points or more is both a lot in basketball and also absolutely possible.

    It’s funny how you pretend, like you don’t have a Rick Fox poster on your wall right now.

    Eddie Jones was money in NBA Live

    Solid NBA era. AI in Philly. Antoine Walker and Paul Pierce in Boston before KG, Rondo, and Ray Allen.

    Yeah, you never know because if the starters don't play, then our 3rd team becomes the 2nd team and you never know what happens then. They will still be better athletes, but that does not mean they are a better team after only playing together for a few weeks. I can see a 30+ point lead evaporating a bit in the 4th if just one of their players gets hot from 3.

    I would not touch that betting line. Too many unknowns.

    Keon is a solid representation of what it can be like to make it in the league. Likely to be overlooked on an NBA team playing a position where it will be incomprehensibly difficult to find minutes.

    Get plenty of $5 beers (used to be $4) on the 300 level. That will help.

    I think Keon has taken B Williams minutes already this season..Chauncey likes him and so do I...this young man is going to become a two way player in his second year. He's talented.

    Pop? Not for long. He's 73 years old. He'll be retiring soon.

    What is this lol

    What the Professor does is not NBA basketball. It's street ball. That's totally fine. It's entertaining. Not sure why he's giving Dame advice though.

    As someone who used to gamble, it means plunk down some cash on our opponent

    That’s what you think, until the Blazers
    win by 28 and you are begging your wife to sleep inside.

    I paid $89.00 for the year for just the Blazers. That is the lowest I have paid in a while
