Another Mucking Blog

The 2010 NBA All-Star Break is nearly upon us! And we’re taking bets to see if Kobe and the West will defeat Lebron and the East for the 2nd year in a row.

Now, when thinking about such a bet its important to break it down and know the odds, just like in poker. But how different is basketball from poker? We dare ask the question and find many, many similarities in the betting mind set?

1. What is the strongest pair? If your holding a Kobe High Card with a Carmelo Anthony kicker is that better than a Lebron-Dwayne Wade pair?

2. Which is the better conference? If Las Vegas is the West and Atlantic City is the East which has the most talent?

3. What are your chances of catching a clutch river to stay alive? Is Kobe or Lebron the better clutch river?

4. What is the better hand? Would you rather have Kobe and Melo in your hand and the board read Nash, Stoudemire, and Duncan or have A.I. and Lebron in your hand with the board reading Howard, Garnett, and Wade?

5. In a heads up match who is the better player? Who has the most skill and patients to go all in and take it hole when it counts? Is it Kobe or is it Lebron?

These are the questions one must ask themselves when making bets this year. And until we shuffle up and tip off and see who bust out first, our bets on KOBE!

-The Mucksters!

OK I’m going to make this short and sweet (like D fish). Hats off to the Orlando Magic who must have rubbed the belly of a Buddah, got blessed by their local Shaman, or participated in some sort of Alligator sacrifice (being Florida and all) because the Magic had to BREAK records to barely pull off a win last night in game 3 of the 2009 NBA finals. But I mean damn 75% shooting in the first half….craZy (yes with a capital Z).

However it’s still got to be discouraging when your up against the Black Mamba himself. Last night was just Kobe letting the ratings build cause you know the world doesn’t want to see a sweep even though they want the Lakers to win. You know its true!

So unless the Orlando Magic plan to continue breaking records I think LA has it in the bag like a frat guy with a drunk hooker!

I’m out!

Hey cuties,

OMFG what a CRAZY WEEKEND!

There’s nothing that gets me more excited than poker, basketball and tequila, and with the NBA Finals, the WSOP, and some Patron, well lets just say this week end I was like a dog in heat!

So Who’s hott right now?

MMM…Brock “t soprano” Parker came on top of that confident cutie Daniel Negreanu (why is confidence so hott?) in Event #14 of the 2009 WSOP, $2,500 Six-Handed Limit Hold’em. For some reason I find myself wanting Brock’s bald, bearded head…Maybe the online to bracelet thing is a turn on…maybe I had to much tequila.

And Kevin Stammen…well you can go ahead and give me a call. Just bring the bracelet you got over the week end from the $2,500 No-limit Hold’em event, I’ll bring the handcuffs.

And sadly. That super cutie Superman, Dwight Howard, he looked so sad last night after that “Grumpy” old Kobe Bryant got 29 points and helped the Lakers beat the Magic to go up 2-0 in the NBA Finals. But it’s ok Dwight. I still want to see your Magic…

Kiss
Debbie

Yee HA HA howdy HAHA HA!!!

If you can’t tell I’m in a good mood. No it wasn’t the Skinnamax I fell asleep watching or the chili dogs for breakfast…I’m talking about the Black Mamba, Kobe: Doing Work!

Kobe told all of Orlando last night “I’m not Lebron James Bi*#!es!” Then he went over to D-Howard and was like “Eh superGIRLYman! Your cape fell off! Oh what’s a matter Dwight! Can’t fly in the Finals?” Maybe not in those exact words but it was pretty damn close!

Bottom line. The Lakers told the Magic what real champions look like as every man, woman, Jack Nicholson, and child, played their role to perfection in Staples Center Thursday night. Lakers 100, Magic 75

[That's the face of an Orlandoian (Minus Tiger Woods cause even though he lives in Orlando, LA's got his soul MuhuHAHA!]

So pull out the white surrender flag Sam Van Gundy (Magic Coach) and start trying to look like your not going to have a stroke from constipation every second of the day.

I’m calling it: Lakers in 5! Vinny says 6 but what does he know!

In POKER NEWS: I’m shooting my pistols up in the air to celebrate Phil Ivey’s 6th bracelet win at the WSOP for the $2,500 No-Limit Deuce-to-Seven Draw Event #8.

This is Cowboy Connor signing off!

A NOTE FROM DEBBIE: Dwight is a hottie and keep your heads up Orlando, it takes 4 games to win a championship.

Connor to Debbie: Kobe Bryant! Nuff Said. He takes to the HNL, Hole Nudda Level!
