Betting the NBA during the week leading up to the All-Star break is gambling at its riskiest. You really don’t have any clue which teams are going to check out a few days early and leave your money to blow away in the wind.
I usually avoid it like a public urinal. But like a public urinal, sometimes you just have to.
Take tonight. The Wiz opened as 8.5-point dogs on the road at Betjamaica against the Bobbies and I just can’t see any reason why they would give a flying bullet who wins this game.
They are coming off a relaxing 3-day vacation in sunny Orlando because they were storm-stayed over the weekend due to the blizzard in Washington. Their Sunday game in D.C. against the Hawks was rescheduled for March 11.
(Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Penguins managed to make it to D.C. for a 1 p.m. Sunday game despite playing in Montreal the night before. The Pens got in at 2 a.m. and took a 5-hour bus ride after flying to Newark. )
But I don’t really blame the Wiz for not wanting to play. They suck. And their dressing room is more of an evidence locker these days.
Antawn Jamison proved he’s the Wizard who least wants to be playing basketball when he couldn’t be bothered to show up for Monday’s practice. He used the time off in Florida to skip down to Miami, where he has a home, and he bought a suite for the Super Bowl.
“I’m just going to have a good time,” he told the Washington Post when asked if he had a rooting interest.
He missed his early morning flight back to Orlando on Monday and told his team he’ll see it in Charlotte. I’d say his teammates would be pissed, but I mostly just wonder if they care enough to get angry.
The Bobcats meanwhile, have two injured players – Tyson Chandler and Ray Felton – whom Larry Brown will have a hard time keeping off the floor tonight. Felton rolled his ankle in practice yesterday and declared that he’s playing tonight, even though the coaching staff says they'll make a decision at game time.
Chandler is a question mark too, but he wouldn’t be blamed if he sat tonight. He’s been out six weeks with a foot injury and it would be easy for him to rest until after the All-Star break if he chose to.
Then again his team is just one game below .500, not 15.
