NBA Loud - by Rick Gillispie

Pistons and Cavs win. Gambling in the NBA.

May 4th 2006 08:01
It’s Thursday. It’s bar night. And I have had a long ass day! But here I am writing about the NBA. And, do you know why dear readers? It’s because I love the game. I love writing about the sport. And, finally – I love all of you. Yes, I am in love/lust with every one of you faceless and nameless readers out there. If I could I’d buy everyone out there some roses, red wine and chocolates. Since, I don’t know who any of you are that isn’t possible right now. But if you all would be so kind to give me your banking details I can put some money into your accounts to buy those aforementioned products. Hey! I have some Nigerian ministers to vouch for my integrity!


Now that all of the love declarations have been over and done with I can now get to the beeswax at hand – playoff basketball! Another team bit the dust today and it was les Mâles de Milwaukee (Milwaukee Bucks) at the brutal hands of the Pistons, 122-93. Besides that single aberration game where Michael Redd just went off and dropped 40 points on the ‘D’. The Pistons have pretty much owned the Bucks.

Once again the usual suspects for Detroit did the job, with the Phantom of the Opera, aka. Rip Hamilton dropping 40 large on the hapless Bucks. Milwaukee stud Redd was pretty much ineffective,

while the Pistons continued their relentless march towards the promised land.


In todays other game between Washington and Cleveland LeBron once again has illustrated his clutch playing credentials by scoring the winning basket in overtime to lead the Cavs to a 121-120. With all his final second heroics of late it is hard to envision a time when King James’ game winning skills were in question. Are there still any critics out there?

My only beef with ‘Bron ‘Bron is that I didn’t purchase his first sneakers as keepsakes. Although, spending an extravagant

amount of cash on a pair of sneakers made by a four year old in China for less than one cent kind of makes me queasy.

LeBron’s final stat line read as follows: 45 points. Seven rebounds. Six assists. You can call him the new Big ‘O’ – or just refer to him as the ‘Big Orgasm’. Boom-boom.

In non-playoff related news Charles Barkley has revealed he has lost over $10 million alone in gambling. And does the big man think he has a problem? Nope. According to Sir Charles it isn’t a

Charles obviously in charge.
problem since he can afford to keep on losing cash due to the fact he is rich! Me, thinks its intervention time for Chucky.
