Leaguecapper,
I'm right with you on the Thunder to win the championship this year. I have $500 to win 8k (16/1 odds)

Kings just received a spanking and are on double revenge, but can we support such a terrible team?
I'm trying to figure out the same thing. Mavs have been owning the Kings big time over the past few years. Kings bench is complete garbage while Mavs have some depth. Good thing too as they will need to play 10 or 11 guys tonight after all the running they did against Golden St. yesterday.
I think losing Rondo might be good for the Mavs in terms of their offensive flow. Their guards had a bad game last night versus the Dubs, but all in all they are above average. Cousins will get his as always, but man, Sacramento lineup gets kind of ugly quickly after.
Perhaps I'm just biased against Sacramento since the few times I have bet on them have all backfired on me.
I know LeagueCapper loves his situational plays, and he is a good capper, so I'll likely just save my money and not take the Mavs tonight. However, I just cannot stomach betting on the Kings again this season.

LC gives reasons:
Dallas just played a huge revenge game against the best team in the league late last night. They were up 22 yet still got blown out. Talk about a devastating loss. Then they have to wake up a day later and play another game against a team they've beaten twice already, without their starting point guard (and now Dirk out as well).
Dallas is a bit overrated this year. Some people thinking they can make a championship run. How? I liked them last year but they gave up way too much depth to get Rondo. They have no defense and very little bench which explains why they are 2-11 against western conference playoff teams this year.
On another note, does this piss anyone else off as much as me?
Ray Allen will reportedly decide if he will continue playing in the NBA after the All-Star break.
Cleveland is said to be the favorite to land Allen
James is such a pu$$y always having to go to teams and get as many stars as he can to win.
...DONT WANT TO HEAR ANY BS OF HIS VETERAN LEADERSHIP ETC IF THAT HAPPENS

Thanks LC - I respect your reasoning for why the Kings are a good play. I did not know until a few minutes ago that Dirk was resting. It makes sense though given it's a back2back game.
I agree that they gave up too much to acquire Rondo. I never felt he would be a good fit for the way they play. That's why I said losing him might actually help Dallas regain their usual offensive flow once again.
True, they cannot beat Western conference playoff teams. Luckily for them, Sacramento is nowhere near a playoff team, ha ha. They really are quite bad. But as I said, I cannot in good faith take Sacramento, but I can take the over 209.5 which I just locked in. So tailing ya on that and look forward to hearing you are unloading a 10 unit bet on OKC tomorrow.
I don't know if it is James coordinating all these player additions, or is it just a fact that players are attracted to playing with him rather than with a different team? Allen will help them though, no doubt. Just another terrific outside shooter for the bench.

James is such a pu$$y always having to go to teams and get as many stars as he can to win.
Couple notes....
1. He started his NBA career in Cleveland where he had no one, so he tried to win on his own and got swept vs Spurs. So it's not like he hasn't tried to put his team on his back.
2. Are you calling him a box because the softest player in the league, kevin Durant, lost to brin in the finals?
3. For awhile getting multiple stars on the same teams as been the blueprint. It's nothing new.
4. Should lebron empty his team to d league status so LC can respect him?
5. Was phil jackson a pu$$y coach because he only had mega stars? 2 greatest shooting guards ever and the most dominant center ever?
If you don't like James, that's cool, but because he has other stars on his team is not the reason to dislike him.

calimike is a world-class douche......but hes dead right on this point.i just cannot fathom the petty,bitter jealous hate for this guy...wat the fu.k do people want,him to play with a cast of scrubs and try and work miracles with them as they clang bricks off the side of the rim and dribble balls off their foot all season long just so that he,lebron,can prove he's a "man" and not a pus.sy?????
absolutely feckin absurd and ridiculous...he's been there and done that and got the t-shirt.and guess wat????....IT DOESNT WORK!!!
....in fact,apart from jordan the first time around,id like to hear of one single star in nba history that has taken average,or sub-standard,players to a championship??........bill russel had stars,larry bird had stars,magic had stars,duncan had stars,kobe had stars(or at least one gigantic,monstrous,dominant one).....and on and on and on....surprisingly enuff,you NEED great,or very good,players around you to win in this league.....donyell marshall,boobie gibson and larry hughes aint getting it done,unless in very minor supporting roles.

if guys like kobe,carmelo and westbrook werent such world-class knob-ends then maybe more top players would flock to play with them and make the concessions necessary to do so...its because of lebrons ability and reputation that he is a magnet for these type of moves
