That's why Musberger, Al Michaels should not be allowed to bet on sports

LaMarcus Aldridge just got interviewed by TNT and he said "We are trying to push the ball more for this game." 

Portland has not been scoring that much in their last couple of games, so you would think tonight's game is no dfferent..

I'm sure a lot of people took the under because of Portland's lack of scoring in their last couple of games.

As a recreational gambler, we do not have access to the pregame interviews by players and coaches, so we have no idea what the game plan is. However, a media person like Musberger and Michaels have press credentials, so they are allowed to interview players and coaches about the game plan and so on. or They have press friends that they can ask for inside information on the game plan. This would give Musberger and Michaels a huge advantage on how to bet on the game, especially on how to bet on the totals.

Portland plays a half cour style offense. They rarely "push" the ball, but tonight they pushed the ball and as a result, they scored 60 in the first half.  Dallas is a good defensive team, but the fact that Portland is playing an uptempo gives them more opportunities to score.

Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if Barkley bet on every TNT games, because he knows or he has a lot of valueable info on how to bet o... [More]

Thank you Chris Wallace

Hey Chris Wallace, thanks for trading Paul Gasol to the Lakers for Kwame Brown.  If you don't know who this dumb fuck is, he is the GM of the Memphis Grizzlies that traded Gasol to the Lakers for Kwame Brown. 

Here is a little quote from Gregg Popovich about the trade.

What they did in Memphis is beyond comprehension,” said Popovich. “There should be a trade committee that can scratch all trades that make no sense. I just wish I had been on a trade committee that oversees NBA trades. I’d like to elect myself to that committee. I would have voted no to the L.A. trade.”
