Suns shoot for 3-1 lead on banged-up BlazersBasketball Betting Lines04/24/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Trail Blazers hope to bounce back from a pair of poor performances this afternoon as they attempt to even their Western Conference quarterfinals series with the Phoenix Suns. The Suns took a 2-1 edge in the set on Thursday when Jason Richardson scored a career playoff-high 42 points, including eight three-pointers, as Phoenix blitzed Portland early and never let up in a 108-89 victory in Game 3. Amare Stoudemire added 20 points, and Steve Nash totaled 13 points and 10 assists for the Suns, who used the pick-and-roll to torture the short-handed Blazers. "They really focused on Amare down low and we got a lot of open shots and opportunities from the outside," Richardson said. "Luckily they went down." Phoenix remains without the services of starting center Robin Lopez, who is sidelined with a back injury. The 7-footer hasn't played since March 26 but has begun light workouts and will be re-evaluated next week. He is not scheduled to play in this series. LaMarcus Aldridge led the Trail Blazers with 17 points and seven rebounds, while Jerryd Bayless and Martell Webster each added 14 points off the bench. Portland never led and trailed by as many as 31 points in defeat. Andre Miller registered 11 points and nine assists in defeat while forward Nicolas Batum re-injured his right shoulder in the first half of the contest. "We are not controlling our emotions and being able to play at this level without being calm out there," Blazers coach Nate McMillan said. "It's going to be a physical game, they're going to be aggressive. We talk about being calm, clear and consistent in what we want to do...that hasn't happened in these last two games." Already reeling from the loss of All-Star guard Brandon Roy for the series with a torn meniscus in his right, Portland could be without Batum this afternoon. The French star, who originally hurt the shoulder in the second half of Game 2, will be a game-time decision. The Blazers, of course, are already without centers Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla, who were lost earlier in the season to knee injuries. Game 5 in the series is set for Monday back in Phoenix.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6 The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines. Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com. "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis. It's like Week 1 of the NFL. Pre-season means nada! We do know the 24 finalists however. Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24. He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway. He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien. Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was. And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition. He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice! People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way. "Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks. He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes. But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed. Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes. "I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate. "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past. He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far. Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community." Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts) And the others: Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far. MySportsbook.com is offering a 20% signup bonus with an initial deposit (i.e. open your American Idol betting account with $300, receive another $60 in which to bet with). Last two contestants will be? 1 Male/1 Female +100 (a $10 bet pays $10 plus your initial $10) 2 Males +170 (a $10 bet pays $17 plus your initial $17) 2 Females +130 (a $10 bet pays $13 plus your initial $10) MySportsbook.com is an online sportsbook accepts Visa Credit Cards and online sportsbook accepts Mastercard Credit Cards for easy American Idol betting lines. |
