I'm not sure if the New York Knicks have all the pieces in place right now, but by adding Carmelo Anthony they are certainly one big step closer to being a NBA championship contender. Although considering the mismanagement over the last 10 years it's heard to believe they won't mess this up too.

Watch for the Knicks to make some strong stragetic moves during this off season to sure things up and make them a true Eastern conference powerhouse.

Two cities that produce NBA Eastern Conference contenders also have the two teams that are favored to win the Super Bowl as the NFL playoffs are set to begin this weekend.

NBA spread betting experts might recognize that Atlanta and Boston produce two East contenders and with the Falcons and Patriots, both cities have the Super Bowl XLV juggernauts as well.

Just as in the NBA’s East, Atlanta’s team is viewed with an eye of pessimism. The Falcons had a great regular season but don’t have a ton of playoff experience. They’re a young squad that is gaining it on the fly.

Meanwhile, Boston’s team - just like in the NBA – is experienced, savvy and has done it before. The Patriots are the odds-on favorites to do it all and considering they’ve won it three times this decade, why bet against them?

Basketball betting is not quite as common as betting on some other sports, but if you do your research, take your time and keep accurate records, there’s no reason you can’t be as successful at betting on basketball as betting on anything else. Here are a few tips to get you started.

Top Basketball Betting Tip: NCAA vs. NBA

Of course you are welcome to bet both college and pro basketball (including the WNBA), like placing your bets in online video poker games, you need to be aware that each type of basketball may have very different factors in play. In college basketball, every game counts, whereas pro teams can afford to drop a few games here and there and still have a great shot at the championship. There may be a much larger disparity between two competing college teams. Know the league you’re betting.

I really like the direction this team is going but I'm not so sure they can really be a contender in the East this year.  The East has gotten a lot stronger over the last few years and while I think they can make the playoffs I don't really see any chance that they can really beat The Magic, the Heat, the Celtics, of the Bulls.  And I'm skeptical they can even beat teams like the 76ers or the Hawks.

What do you think?

Little League World Series: No Longer ‘The Bronx Bombers’ its now Chula Vista Bombers!

By Adam Hill

                51 Home runs in 10 games!  I think that is all I need to say.  Anybody who understand baseball, knows that 51 home runs is not normal for anybody to hit in only 10 games.  I saw the stat comparison with the San Diego Padres, and it has taken them 60 games to hit that many home runs, if that puts it into comparison for those who are unfamiliar with baseball.

                75mph, equivalent to a 98mph fastball in the major leagues is not normal for a 13 year old kid.  300ft homers are not normal for a 12 year old kid.  6ft, 212lb and size 14 shoe is not normal for a 12 year old kid.  Chula Vista has all of these.

Little League World Series:  Already Picking the Two Finalists After Just One Game!? (2009)

                Just earlier today we saw the second day of the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa, with the rest of the teams playing their first game for those who did not get a game in on Opening Day. 

The night was lit up by home runs in the West vs Great Lakes night game.  Chula Vista, Ca had rumors of power hitters, but tonight was enough proof for anybody to start talking about the West.  6’ 212lb 13 year old, Luke Ramirez, turned plenty of heads with his major league type swing and power.  He blasted two monster home runs against Great Lakes to lead his team to victory.

Are People Really Arguing Lebron James Is Not King? BLASPHEMY!

By Adam Hill

                 Yeah, let’s get one thing straight, Lebron James was dunked on by Xavier’s, Jordan Crawford, but are you really going to use that to say Lebron James is not King?First and foremost, until you show me a player who cannot ever be dunked on, that video is irrelevant, not to mention real blurry and hard to see who is who and what really happened.  The most common responses for the best basketball players are Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Lebron James and right fully so.

                If you do not remember, you definitely have seen replays and highlights of Air Jordan’s career and his famous game winning shots.  How can you not have seen the highlights, if not the real game, against the Jazz, Game 6 in 1998 when MJ had less than 10 seconds and gives Brian Russell, of the Jazz, a bit of a shove (which is a whole different argument in itself) to win his 6th championship in 6 NBA Finals appearances all within 8 years!  Miraculous would a bit of an understatement.  Here is a list of some of his accomplishments. Michael Jordan-6 Championships in 8 years (only 6 Finals Appearances)-6 MVP’s-9 times a member of All Defensive Team-10 NBA scoring titles (7 of which were in consecutive years)-41 point average in the 1993 NBA finals (still stands as a record)-63 points against Boston in 1986 (most points ever in a playoff game)-Member of the original dream team coached under Bob Knight in 1984.

After todays (Stage #7) there's no doubt in my mind that LA will be the Best SD of the Tour in the last 15 or 20 years. It was amazing seeing him satying close to the front and looking really good after more than 3 years without the Mountain stages at the Tour. There's also no doubt that Astana is the strongest team in the Tour history. I will predict that Astana will get  3 of the 3 podium positions in Paris. But AC will win by a significant margin. Any takers? There's no way LA will beat AC on 2009.

Before you jump to make non-educated conclusions, read carefully and keep your feelings away.

When Lance won his first TDF he was 27 years old. Alberto won his first at 25.

Lance's team in 1999 was a group of outcasts, Alberto is part of the best cycling team in the circuit.

Lance's teammates were a great group of kids doing what they love, riding with no preassure. Alberto's teammates are an extremely talented group of stars. In any other team, they would be TDF contenders, and I would not be surprised if more than 2 of them make the podium.

Lance was a good climber, better Time trial rider. Alberto is a Great climber and getting better at the TT.

Just with that information I know, if he stays healthy he will we the winner of The TOUR until 2015.
