They say the NBA Finals is'nt over until the fat lady sings. Well, take a look at who's singing the National Athem before GM 5. None other than the fat lady of soul Aretha Franklin. I am now going to double my Piston bet.
 

And if the Road Warrior says it, it must be true..

not so fast

that is assuming they can get her into the building - and the only way that might happen is if they raise the roof so they can lower her in from the top. but since she hates to fly (and imagine sitting next to her on a flight) doubt that will happen.

i hear the next time there is a 500 mile car race in the detroit area - they are gonna re-design the course and make it 1 lap around aretha and re-name the race a 600-mile one.

rumor has it when the NHL starts up its next season - whenever that might be - she will be playing goalie for the wings. like that beer ad - they are just gonna put her on the ice (and hope it doesn't crack) and back her big fat ass into the net - and when she fills it up - the wings will do no worse than tie every game 0-0.

you heard it here first

Aretha Franklin will win the Vezina Trophy next season as the league's top goalie (i just hope chris - and the rest of the boys at olympic - don't see this message until i get my bet in).

I would say the Lakers have about a 10% chance of winning this game at this point....with the Pistons up 17 4 minutes to go in the 4th (I know it was only 12 when u posted wil)

3rd quarter I think you mean. It was actually at 10, but what is the difference. I hate to call a game to early, just me that all.

I hear you wil, that is why I didn't call it, but rather assigned a mathematical probability to it...

Given all the factors, especially the way the Pistons are playing & the Hunger Factor, to me it is about a 10% probability at this point...probably slightly less now...However 10% is far from impossible...so in essence...I absolutely agree with you...

LA Lakers @ DET Pistons
Point Spread In-Running
Add LA Lakers +19.5 -120 Bet
Add DET Pistons -19.5 -120 Bet


Unless stated, all markets quoted in-running are for the whole game including O/T if played. Push rules apply.

Nice work Chuck Sims. Since the series started you fielded every shot from Laker backers, never wavering one bit. Best of luck in the future also.

vegassportpics, I wish picking games was that easy all year round!! It was fun betting the Pistons in the finals knowing you had the better team even though they were the dog in 3 out of the 5 games. Good luck on all your plays.
