    If I hear Doris Burke say that's correct one more time i'm going to explode! Detestable woman, only there BECAUSE she's a woman. Never known anyone slip back & forth from wise teacher to keen student with such ease and apparent lack of self awareness.

    Quite comical how wide wrong Vegas has been about these International teams. Massively overrated them both on day 1, and then have massively underrated them since

    its been tough setting lines overall I think. mysterious resting patterns involved in that as well. I was looking at that game this morning though. I wish they released the lines a little bit earlier. any clue what it opened at?

    wish my book offered 1st half lines. these 4th quarter comebacks are getting ridiculous. its almost like you dont want to breakaway until that 3rd quarter because any lead established in the 1st half is not safe. lol crazy

    Young Sosa is up watching Cris Carter & Nick Wright on the television this morning. What the? Hey Sosa why are you being lazy you knucklehead? The morning is the most important time of the day. As a human, you are a creature of habit. You develop a routine and that becomes who you are. The morning routine is most imperative, for it sparks the energy that is carried throughout the remainder of the day. The ol lady has begun to stay nights now, and it has thrown my rhythm off to say the least. You see, Sosa is used to being a cowboy. He belongs to no entity and no institution. He just rides on his horse through the night, trailblazing his own path and living in his own world. Hey Sosa cool story but turn that damn television off and hop back on the horse to the gym knucklehead. So lets do it then. How many pushups should I do? 50? 100? 200? The answer doesn't exist. You do as many as you can Sosa. Maximum effort with clarity and vision is the goal. Always. Everyday. So LETS GO.

    Lots of DNPs/ injury absences for China in that game. Might have been another 20-1 upset! Still covered.

    As I was saying, Vegas don't know shit about International basketball. The European books do obviously, but they're leaving this to Vegas because it's an American event. I'd be a bit surprised if we see either national team get given 20pts again in this SL.

    I got pretty much a pick em at my book. Clippers look good though. Robinson took a small stumble last game but played through it. they could be resting him as a precaution. just got home from work. gonna start looking at the games soon here.

    you got anything you like?

    Vegas Day Seven

    Pacers +7 $50
    Pacers +230 $25

    Pacers have looked terrible as a unit so far but the talent on this team is def there. Aaron Holiday is a solidified NBA player & one of the upper echelon guys at summer league. I like what I've seen from some of their forwards too especially Alize Johnson & MiKyle McIntosh. those guys look good. overall, they really just need to step up defensively and crash the boards. they can score the ball but if they can play with some pride on the defensive end then they'll be in this game.

    Thanks for the HU, I missed that game. Clippers are +4 now. Your book must be acting independent!

    Robinson was ill through the first two games so he's had a rough go then.

    I have the two dogs, Clippers & Hawks ATS. GL

    Whomever came up with this new format of 12 consolation games needs to be buried in the desert Casino style.

    You at least need the pretense that these games mean something. I prefer to switch back to WNBA than bet this BS, so yup I'm out also.

    it was an all out tournament before huh? if I remember correctly. some of these teams dont belong in the same tier though. a couple of games looked like JV vs Varsity scrimmage. who recruits these players? too many guards can't that can't shoot & forwards that dont rebound. shame on whoever puts these teams together. probably a bunch of politics going on.

    tomorrow will bring some good action however. Pels vs heat will be a terrific game. Wish Clippers got a chance at the tourney, they had a SQUAD. im really impressed with a couple of the guys on that roster. Terrance Mann looks like a baller. had no clue he could handle the ball like that. legit 6'7 point guard. shame on me for just now realizing how talented he is.

    The Pacers summer league team looks god awful. Talk about an organization that takes zero pride in putting together a summer league team. They have one of their video guys coaching. Obviously, he is completely clueless evidenced by Matt Costello and a guard whose name I forget running the same pick and roll play over and over again. I’ll take a peak at things but most likely staying away. The last minute lineup changes have kind of pissed me off.

    What do you think about the Clips at -3.5? My luck, it’d be the one game where the pacers actually come to play and compete.

    It was great. Every team made the KO round, and there were always a good number of upsets. Now we get 24 teams playing for nothing ...no fun.

    Pacers have been missing two key players so can't fault them really. Bitadze never got his v i s a. Sumner injured. I actually had them ranked 6th coming in, but always injury surprises in SL so you never can get the power rankings accurate.

    And most teams have a novice coaching. Eric Spolestra was a video guy...

    my bad bro just saw this. this was probably the worst day to bet. players getting rested more then ever before. Pacers were bound to get a victory though. it becomes about pride eventually. can't leave Las Vegas with 0 wins.

    hope you didn't follow through. im thankful I stopped. today would have been a mess.

    oh shit. ill have to check out highlights then.

    whats your thoughts on Luka Samanic?

    I thought there was a ton of players this year that slipped outside the lottery that are absolutely a steal outside that range.

    I've only seen Samanic & Smailagic play in this SL. Both nice players. Samanic is really skilled but needs to beef up.

    Watching the Spurs play now, down 21. Becky Hammon is not happy...
