A Short Tribute to Jerry Buss

In the any sport, athletes are not the only ones who can affect the success of a franchise. That is why in lieu of Dr. Jerry Buss’ passing, it is important to pay tribute to the man who was a driving force behind one of the most successful franchises not only in the National Basketball Association but even in the entirety of the sports world.

Anyone in the realm of online betting basketball knows the great things the good doctor has done that changed not only his beloved basketball team but even the entire sport. When you think of great sport franchise owners, you can only think of a select few, and Dr. Jerry Buss is one of them. While other owners whine and shudder when dealing with problems with their franchise, Dr. Buss has always been the type that stays silent yet steady with the way he handles problems. Knowing that he is in Hollywood, where everything is magnified by a thousand times, makes it even more praiseworthy and making him every bit deserving of his hall of fame status.

It is a bit sad though that the man had to pass in a time where his beloved team has been struggling. While they shouldn’t need something like this to motivate them, I sure hope that the Lakers instill in their mind the passion of the late owner, and play on the court with the same passion. After all, there is no better tribute to a team owner who loved to win.

While it is unfortunate for such an iconic individual to pass away, it’s also a good reminder to everyone that nothing last forever and it is important to cherish what we have right now.

We’d like to offer our deepest condolences to the entire Buss family.

For sports betting aficionados out there, the next post will be more cheery with the focus on online betting boxing and online betting basketball.

No Love in NBA for Valentines


httpwww.basketwallpapers.com

The NBA players might be taking a break but the excitement of basketball in the world of Australian online sports betting never seems to stop. Before the league went to a break, they offered some nice matchups to watch on February 14. That’s the day of love for you but the results of the games didn’t show one bit of love. The results didn’t have any surprise as far as this Australian online book maker is concerned. However, the game showed some glimpse on how the season could end.

The Miami Heat took out the Oklahoma City Thunder in such an impressive way that made fans questioned the ability of the Thunder to play against the Heat if in the post-season, if the two teams battle again in the finals. Let’s get it straight. Barring any major injuries, the Miami Heat is slated to reach the finals again. They can outscore even the best offensive teams in the east. The only teams that have a chance against the Heat are the great defensive teams. I put stress on the word great because being a good defensive team is not going to be enough against the Heat.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers game didn’t add much excitement either as the Clippers dominated their hometown rival. It shows once again that the Lakers are not yet in the level where they could compete with the better teams. If this game has any effect on the future is that the Lakers might make some move before the February 21 trade deadline.

NBA News: Andrew Bogut Returns

Well here’s something Australians and San Francisco can get excited about. I guess sports bet Australia is also going to be happy about this. Andrew Bogut returned to the Golden State Warriors lineup and helped the team win against the Toronto Raptors. Okay, a win against the Raptors shouldn’t be something to be thrilled with, but a win is a win and for the Warriors who are try to get a better playoff berth, they are more than happy for it. Warrior fans who are in online sports betting sites can attest to the value of any win.

Aside from the win, Bogut’s showing looks quite impressive. Impressive enough for Warriors fans to be look forward to the end of the season. Although it’s noticeable how the Australian big man looked winded in quite a few stretches of the game, his skills were on display as he commanded the team on defense and getting noteworthy dunks on offense that shows no ill-effects from the injury that sidelined him for much of the season. If Bogut’s return progresses nicely with the Warriors team that has so far been doing pretty good, the team can really be a scary contender in the playoffs. In games this season, the obvious weakness of the team has always been about making stops on the defensive end. The team now has a real post player on offense.

However, the return of Bogut is not all good news, as Stephen Curry suffered a sprain on his right ankle. The seriousness of the injury isn’t specified but depending on the gravity of it, this could really affect the team.
