Basketball Betting Lines
04/03/2010 -
Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Anthony Morrow made a career-high 16-of-23
field goals en route to a season-best 35 points, as the Golden State Warriors
held off the New York Knicks, 128-117.
Reggie Williams added 23 points and five rebounds for the Warriors, who have
won eight in a row against New York at Golden State. Corey Maggette tallied 21
points, while Stephen Curry chipped in 15 points and 10 assists for the
victors.
Warriors coach Don Nelson inched closer to becoming No. 1 on the all-time NBA
coaching victory list. The veteran mentor now has 1,331 regular-season wins,
which is two away from breaking the record held by Hall of Famer Lenny
Wilkens. Golden State has seven games left on its schedule.
David Lee posted his first career triple-double with 37 points, 20 rebounds,
and 10 assists for the Knicks, who fell to 0-4 on a five-game road
trip that ends Sunday against the Clippers.
Danilo Gallinari finished with 29 points, eight boards, and eight assists,
while Chris Duhon and Bill Walker each added 14 points in defeat.
New York started the game on a 14-4 run, but the Warriors fought back and held
a 34-32 edge after 12 minutes of action.
Golden State opened the second on a 23-5 run to extend its margin to 20.
Morrow tallied 12 points during the stretch, including a jumper to make it
57-37 with 5:24 left until half. The score was 65-51 at the break.
The Knicks ripped off seven straight points in the early stages of the third
to get within nine, 67-58, on a Walker trey.
After Williams responded with five consecutive points for the Warriors, New
York put together a 14-2 burst to cut the deficit to two. Lee's jumper made it
74-72 with 6:24 to go.
Just moments later, Gallinari and Toney Douglas made back-to-back three-
pointers to get within one, 81-80, with 4:12 left. However, Golden State
responded with a 14-5 surge to create some breathing room again. Williams'
reverse layup had the Warriors ahead 10, 95-85. The score was 97-89 heading to
the fourth.
Gallinari's trey had New York within six, 114-108, with 5:24 to play in the
fourth. But the Warriors fought back with a 12-2 run to essentially seal the
victory. Williams' layup made it 126-110 with 2:50 to go.

After all the trouble that’s ensued since Braylon Edwards allegedly punched one of LeBron James’ homeboys in the face at a club, the Cleveland Browns have sent away their last remaining player of worth to the New York Jets. This is a great move for Dirty Sanchez and all, but it’s even better for the Knicks. Now Donnie Walsh can say, “You get to haunt Braylon Edwards with your posse if you sign here!” next summer.
Putting that aside for a moment, the move is a clear indication that the new-look Jets are gunning for the Super Bowl this year. I don’t think that New York thought that Dirty Sanchez was going to be such a rock star. With a 75.2 passer rating that was killed against the Jets, Sanchez is doing an admirable job of managing games and putting the Jets in a position to win. The defense has been the major story in New York thus far, but the acquisition of Braylon Edwards makes this offense loaded with talent that can dent any defense…as long as Dirty Sanchez continues his meteoric rise.
Thus far, Edwards has been a non-factor in the NFL piling up just 139 receiving yards on 10 catches. He has yet to find the endzone, and with the Browns mired in the most unsexy quarterback controversy of all time (Anderson vs. Quinn...yawn), there going nowhere fast. Edwards is two seasons removed from a career year which saw him catch 80 passes for 1,289 yards and 16 touchdowns when the Browns were the spread killing monsters of 2007. In 2008, injuries slowed the receiver down to just 873 yards and three touchdowns though he played in all 16 games.
So that being said, we really don’t know if Braylon Edwards is just a flash in the pan, or a legit threat. At 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, he is a prototypical receiver. But he’s also shown a strange, and unwarranted, talent for dropping passes. Lining up opposite Jericho Cotchery, a speed demon with 23 catches, 356 yards and a single touchdown, may give Braylon the open looks he needs. A change of scenery may also rejuvenate the star receiver.
In return, the Browns will receive Chansi Stuckey, online football betting a special teams player you’ve never heard of and a pair of draft picks. That’s a tall order for a guy whose only real value right now is in his name, and it shows no promise to the Browns that they can rebuild around those acquisitions. Braylon was the only reason to hope for the Browns to go 3-14 SU this year. Without him, they don’t have a single guy on offense that can scare any team.
For the Jets, it’s a response to the pounding that they took at the hand of the Saints. Thomas Jones and Leon Washington have averaged around 4.0 yards per carry each on the ground, but striking a fair balance between the passing and rushing attacks in New York has been a struggle. You have to believe that the trio of Dustin Keller, Jericho Cotchery and Braylon Edwards will give Sanchez the weapons he needs to unleash through the air. Theoretically, that would open up holes for the rushing game. But the proposed public option health care plan works in theory too. We need to see the proof in the pudding before we start loading up mega bucks on the New York Jets to take the AFC.
The one wrinkle in this whole thing is that Braylon could very well be suspended by the league for disciplinary action due to his “brawl” with LeBron’s friend. If that’s the case, the Jets may have to bench him for a few games leaving them with a somewhat depleted receiving corps for a few games. Also, this is a guy who gets in fights with people at clubs. New York may not be the best place for him. Just sayin’.
The Jets have a long week before they meet the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football Betting in a virtual pick ‘em game. Braylon’s excess baggage may be a distraction, and his curiously low production may be what we should be expecting of him overall, but for the Jets, taking a chance to strike gold is well worth it. At the end of the year, they can simply just blame it on their rookie quarterback.
