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!

In one more win, the Kobe puppet can say to the Lebron puppet “Lebron have you seen my 4 championship rings? Each one of these 4 cookies represents a championship ring that you don’t have!”

And the Lebron puppet is going to bow its head in shame and think to its self “Damn Kobe deserved to be MVP, Most Valuable Puppet”

And then the Kobe puppet will go and take his new ring over to his display case, put it in and say “That’s right, now your home.”

With that said its amazing how the Lakers can steal a game in 10 seconds. Great Job Derrick Fisher and to all his critics, well there is a reason why he is co-captain with Kobe Bryant. His two clutch 3’s give the Lakers a 3-1 Lead in the NBA Finals.

Now the only question remains, will the Magic allow the Lakers to have glory on their home court, or is it coming back to LA for game 6?

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!
