Quick, who does Nando de Colo play
for? Not sure?? Well, it seems to be the San Antonio Spurs, and he started in
place of Tony Parker last night. This is his first year in the NBA, and he led
a depleted Spurs team to a victory at Chicago that hurt me and my client base
plenty.
I heard early in the day that the
swelling in Parker's knee would lead most likely to him sitting out and it
wasn't officially announced until 1 hour to game, and with fellow big guns Tim
Duncan and Manu Ginobli also hobbled. They were all out, as well as Stephen
Jackson. Again, you would assume a team that got out-rebounded 49-26 and didn't
have almost half their team wouldn't compete with a great defensive team like
the Bulls on their own court. "That's why they play the games!"
Moving on, I'm looking at the first
game on the schedule and a team I've made quite a bit of money on this year.
The Toronto Raptors are only a 500 club at home this year, but they're hosting
a team who is 11-16 on the road in the Denver Nuggets. Since being traded to
Toronto, Rudy Gay is averaging more than 6 points higher than his previous
points per game average with Memphis. The team is 3-2 in those contests, but
are meshing much better as they all get accustomed to playing together. A key
member of the Nuggets might be out tonight as well as Andre Iguodala is dealing
with a neck issue that has made him a game time decision.
NBA Quick hitter: The All Star game
is this weekend so we get a few days off NBA basketball to really focus on the
NCAA on the stretch run to the tournament. Miami Florida isn't sneaking up on
anyone anymore at #3 in the country, but I personally hope they keep up the
winning as I have a beautiful 80-1 ticket on them to win it all!
