Steve Nash isn't Canadian. I think he's South African.
Edit: Sorry, never realized he moved to Canada so young. Or that he ever moved there 😛. The only place they mention him being from is South Africa for some reason. Probably cause there isn't a whole lot of Suns coverage outside or around the playoffs.
Well either way, I was born in East Africa so that makes us brothers from a different mother right?
Hahah JJ, serious though I was bornin East Africa ->Kenya.

Unfortunately I can't see all games but I find some streaming link here and there, mostly I follow games with live scoreboards of CBS and Espn when I can't see the games.
My NBA interest bloomed as a friend of mine showed me the way by betting on it with Betfair 😉 I started following it at the beginning of this season and found that basketball is a reall ...[text shortened]... t season against every prediction 2) they have Andrea "Mago" Bargnani 🙂
'Later
I'm not into betting and gambling but Dallas and Phx are a great pick for that, though you won't make to much out of picking the favorites.
Well next time you are watching the Raports, please join me and screaming at TOR to give the ball to Parker! I love Toronto and I know Bosh is great but they simply have to use Parker more. Euro league Mvp wow!
They had an interview with Parker which I missed most of but they were talking about him being a big part and he said something like I'll keep playing my best but I don't want to step out of my zone = Quiet player basically.
I'll check the web and see if I can find the full interview.
Coming from Africa, it makes me sad you called it Soccer and not Football 😛
Hehe.
College football has to be one of the worst in timeouts and ads. 45 seconds left and they somehow dragged it out over 50 minutes!!
It was a huge upset.

Ah a betting man. Should have known.

By exchanging I mean buying high odds for selling them live during the game, e.g.: before the start I buy for 30€ Toronto at a 2.60 odd (only an hipothesis) , suppose that Toronto in the first quarter gets a lead of 25-19 : the opponent's odds change and become higher, let's say 2.70 so all I have to do is to put 20€ on the other team.(if I still think Toronto will win).
The result is that if Toronto wins I'll gain 28€ (30X2,60-50).......if Toronto loses I'll win only 4€ (20X2,70-50) but at least Idid not lose a single cent.
By the way at the moment Detroit has +10 advantage on Orlando, the same for Utah vs Houston.

Originally posted by RavelloI read your gambling bit. Sounds interesting.
Pistons won and get ready for the 3-0 at home, Utah is bombing Rockets and Phoenix got a first lead of +12.
P.S.. Kobe Bryant is wasted on a team like Lakers, Leandro Barbosa so far is the best off-the-bench man of the whole NBA.
Utah won. I was pretty shocked, I know they are a decent team but never really seen them play till the playoffs. 2-1 Rockets. I thought the Rockets would sweep them but with only 4 players I think scoring for Rockets how are they suppose to win.
Wonder how Dallas is doing after the upset? www.nba.com I go.

Big hint 🙂
Born in South Africa and moved to Canada around 2 years old or younger.
There was a funny comment about Steve Nash being from Canada and winning the MVP by some american player during an interview. Which interview you ask?
Cabbie of course! I'm Cabbie, I'm with my man B, I'm with my man D, and I'm gone.
Go Raps!

I'm a big fan of Anthony Parker and they should give him the ball more often. Bosh and him can carry the Raptors.
Parker:
2 time Euroleague MVP and first-team All-Euroleague for a second consecutive season
Was named Euroleague Final Four MVP
etc...

Amazing.
And how many points does he score per game?
12.4 per game over 73 games 🙁
He should be having monster games. I'm talking 25+ points and double doubles!!!

Originally posted by Ravello🙁 Need to be more aggressive like in the 3rd quarter.
NJ-Toronto 102-89 🙁
I wanted MO Pet. to guard Vince and Parker to gaurd Kidd.
Vince played good 🙁 but I think the real star of that team is Kidd.
What about Chicago over Miami again. 3-0. I've seen both teams play but I never saw that coming though.
Even Goldenstate is playing well against Dallas, 2nd quarter and Dallas is way down.
