Bulls rout BobcatsBasketball Betting Lines02/10/2012 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - One can wonder what the score might have looked like if Derrick Rose had suited up. Even with the reigning league MVP resting his ailing back, the Chicago Bulls made it look easy by posting a 95-64 victory over the woeful Charlotte Bobcats. Joakim Noah recorded a double-double of 17 points and 14 rebounds for Chicago, which won its fifth straight to improve to 6-2 on a nine-game road trip. Carlos Boozer totaled 16 points and six boards in the lopsided win. C.J. Watson started in place of Rose and contributed seven points, five assists and four steals. Derrick Brown was the lone Charlotte player to reach double figures in scoring, finishing with 10. The Bobcats suffered their 13th consecutive loss, tying the longest losing streak in franchise history -- set January 11-February 1, 2006. Kemba Walker scored nine points on 2-of-11 shooting from the floor, while Boris Diaw, Bismack Biyombo and Cory Higgins added eight points apiece. Luol Deng led all scorers with 10 points in the opening 12 minutes, helping Chicago build a 30-16 lead. John Lucas provided support off the bench during the second quarter as his running jumper put the Bulls up 50-26. Lucas finished with eight points in the frame, one from which the visitors emerged with a 56-34 cushion. The Bulls led by as many as 32 in the second half en route to their fourth straight win over the Bobcats. Game Notes Omer Asik grabbed 12 rebounds for Chicago, which held the Bobcats to 33 percent shooting for the game...The Bulls scored 27 points off 16 Charlotte turnovers...Biyombo added 10 boards.

FOOTBALL TRASH TALKNFL Football Trash TalkTrash talk has a place in every competitive endeavor (except baseball; those stirrup-wearers are too busy chewing on their sunflower seeds and their supplements to worry about what their opponents are doing). Fantasy sports is no exception. Any intelligent discussion of the subject would probably start with a thesis statement or a definition of terms. Thankfully, this wont be an intelligent discussion. Let me just say that I am happy to take a place in this space alongside my talented colleagues, even our commissioner. (You should see how she bleats like a demented paper boy about league fees on our fantasy site). Trash talking, I would argue, is primarily about amusing your friends, their sheeplike demeanors and sloping foreheads notwithstanding. The best place I have found for football trash talking is at www.SportsAlarm.com. Beyond the entertainment factor, though, I would recognize that the sophomoric ritual has one advantage, when properly applied. It magnifies your fantasy triumphs and mitigates your fantasy failures by transforming the eventual point total into an afterthought. Winning makes it seem like your opponent really is a truss-owning, lapel-pin-wearing nitwit. And in defeat, trash talk can be the air bag to break the fall from your hyperbolic heights. The plug-necked yahoos on your team, you can say, will be sacking groceries by the end of the season. The best trash talk, in my view, is layered and nuanced. And it doesnt focus only on your opponents team. It picks apart your opponent. The idea is to create a shock-and-awe-scale blizzard of nonsense, and the goal is to make your opponent drop his hands from his keyboard in exasperation. What team does your opponent root for? Accuse a Giants fan of having a Joe Namath pillowcase. Wheres your opponent from? Give a look of concern no matter his reply, then say, I'll try to type slower for you next time. Is your opponent into politics? Label everyone a tax-and-spend corporate shill. Cap all that with a liberal application of irrelevance. For instance, dont just conclude by saying your opponent is a twerp who drafts like my grandmother. Say that your opponent is a sweater-wearing, eyebrow-plucking twerp who drafts his team about as well as Zsa Zsa Gabor gave acceptance speeches at the Oscars. By the time your foe makes sense of that, his starting running back will have had puppies. But what about you? Hmm? Recall a memorable slam? Have a tried-and-true technique? Know someone who seems impervious to insult? Take a moment and tells us about it. Put together some (fit-for-publication) thoughts. You wont be too busy returning phone messages from your friends, Im sure, to reply. In addition to the trash talking, the Sports Alarm has a huge gallery of high resolution pictures of beautiful women and models in bikinis. The most popular models are: Lindsay Lohan, Carrie Underwood, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Paris Hilton. Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game. Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta. "Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
