Chris Bush's Washington Redskins friend's fan blogs

A tough series begins with the Miami Heat on Sunday at 3.  The Celtics not only beat the Knicks but we swept them and the Celtics looked great doing it.  The starters played great and the bench did it's job.  Especially Rondo who took it up to the next level, and was so good to see.  But are the Heat even in the same catagorie as the Knicks?  We did have extra rest and maybe shaq will be able to help, that would be sweet.  But what I do know is this is gonna be a tough series so even though they have home court, let's show them who the boss is from the start.  Lets Go Celts!!!!!

Well, here we go again... Another crazy hockey season is quickly coming to a close as teams gear up for the madness and excitement of the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

So the question is: Who is your favorite Stanley Cup Contender this year?  The Flyers, Penguins and Caps look like strong favorites in the East, with those teams as well as the Bruins already clinching playoff spots.

Meanwhile, the Canucks, Sharks and the Original Six perennial favorite Red Wings dominate the Western Conference .

Of course there's always the chance that some of the "underdogs" like Chicago, Calgary and Buffalo could make a run for the cup as well, with lots of injuries hurting some of the top teams out there.

Speaking of injuries, the Wing's chances are totally up in the air with Osgood out til the end of the season (and who knows how he'll play after months off) - Howard with a recent "undisclosed" upper body injury, and the new kid Joey MacDonald seemingly ready for major league action.

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.

New York NY Direct TV can bring you all the Knicks action you want.

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?

  Wanna throw it out there, just wondering who everyone has for their Conn Smyth Favs if the Wings take it home.  I got Lidstrom and Ozzie as the deserving but also a little sentimental favorites.  Nick's been his usual overlooked, sturdy, if not spectacular self.  Ozzie has always played better than the numbers, even though they're quite good, and if you really watch the playoff games, he just seems to calm the whole team down.  Big saves just dont look as big when Ozzie makes them.  4 Cups.  3 as the starter.  Great numbers.  I have to give it to him.  Or Ty Conklin......Throwin it out there.
