Dwight keeps distracting, Otis keeps reeking of incompetence, and Orlando keeps losing. Indy wins by more than 6 points

What's the fasted way to trash a team that has been to the NBA Finals and a deep playoff threat for the last decade? You negotiate with terrorists, that's what you do! Dwight Howard doesn't look like a terrorist, but he's making demands and has his team hostage, so yeah, he's a terrorist. And Denzel Otis Smith appears to be horrifically incompetent in the role of "negotiator". Lucky for everyone William Shatner just may be available..

Indy on the other hand is looking fresh, coming off a trouncing of the champs and nipping at those Bull-y heels in the Central Division. Quick question: which team leads the NBA in boards? That's right, the Pacers.

Vegas has Indy by 6 points, I say they win by more.

Weekend Game Recap -- Day 1

Well, Mr. Morrow, if you keep slinging in 3-bombs you can get yourself two of these nice driving machines.. 42 points for the young man last night on 8 of 11 shooting from Down-Town, as Marv would say.

And Her Mechanized Pinkness did just fine last night as well -- three for three to start the weekend off correctly.

Serial Angel Thrashings
LAL 93 DEN 89. Well, although I did not get my wish for a crushing of the Lakers, Kobe did turn in a very distracted and frustrating performance, and not for lack of aggression.. Uh-huh. 20 points on 30% (7 of 23) shooting? Yep, well under his 30pt average -- Pinky wins.

Gritty Grizz Bring The Brawl To OKC
MEM 94 OKC 101. Looked like the upset might have happened, but backpack-boy went off at the end there.. Blech. Fortunately Memphis at least beat the 8.5 point spread. Barely. Pinky wins.

Clash Of The Big Market Flops
NYK 89 BOS 91. Alright, I have to admit it was a darn fun game to watch and that those old Celtics bring a little salt to the table. New York should have won this, but it was not to be. At least they didn't lose by 6 or more.. Pinky wins!

Weekend Game Feb 3-5

Kobe in Denver? Just a hunch -- he'll be tired tonight and he scores less than his season-average 30 pts

Not sure that Denver can spank "the other LA team" quite as nicely as they schooled the clearly road-weary Clips last night.. but it would be lovely.

Denver's Lawson is back from injury looking fresh and pesky. And Kobe doesn't have to worry about buying 4m worth of pink diamonds for the wife (yep, that worked..) if he finds he needs to be helping the hotel staff, um, find loose change in the sofa -- so expect him to be a tad shagged.

So let's go with this one -- I'll say that Kobe scores less than his season-average 30 pts tonight.

Vegas has OKC at home by 8.5 pts. Again, road team covers -- Memphis might lose but not by more than 8 pts.

I'm an OKC hater no doubt, although I have Russell "The Love Muscle" Westbrook on all my fantasy teams because you have know that come hell or high water he's going to get his 30 shots -- Kobe's heir apparent.

Memphis is so short handed it stinks, but they keep winning on attitude. Damn if I don't love them as much as I hate their rivals up north.

This should be a great game. Vegas has OKC at home by 8.5 pts. Again, road team covers -- Memphis inside that 8.5 pts.

Vegas thinks the C's will win by 6.5 pts. Huh? The Knicks cover that nonsense easily.. Knicks might lose but not by more than 6 points

New York on Boston action should be an awesome matchup. Look at Baseball for the last 10 years. Look at football for the last 15 years, and heck look at this weekend's Super Bowl. For basketball, though, these markets have nothing interesting to say to each other. Kinda sad.

I can't decide which team is more pathetic, but Vegas thinks the C's will win by 6.5 pts. Huh? The Knicks cover that nonsense easily..

Weekend Game -- More M4 Game Tests

We'll try another Streak3 game this weekend with the new "round" mechanics.. Its mostly a back-end fix, but it helps Publishers get games made more quickly (the goal of M4).

Bets coming in a minute..

A Little Side Of Superbole

OK, B3TZ Playtest #4 is gonna be a little slice of Super Bowl (or you can pronounce it like I do in the title to rhyme with hyperbole).

Since B3TZ is basically "prop bets tied to internet content for sponsored prizes" I can't pass up the king of all prop bet events, even if I'm a basketball fembot..

So I'll lay down five prop bets and the winner will get semi-eternal fame and a Trophy of Awesomeness.

[note: Sadly, the hosted version of B3TZ is stuck and will only allow you pick one of these five bets.. CHOOSE WISELY.. and I promise to fix this for the Oscars.]

FEMBOT SUPERBOLE 2012

PATRIOTS WIN BY MORE THAN 6 POINTS

Vegas says 3 points but I say the Pats win by 6 or more..
