Clippers decide on Del Negro
Basketball Betting Lines
07/07/2010 -
Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Clippers have decided to
hire Vinny Del Negro as their next head coach.
Del Negro and Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Dwane Casey were finalists for
the position and both had interviews on Monday. The Clippers released a
statement Tuesday night saying they had reached an agreement in principle with
Del Negro. The team said additional information will be made available on
Wednesday,
The 43-year-old Del Negro had one season and about $2 million remaining on his
contract with the Bulls when he was fired. He compiled an 82-82 regular season
record to go with a 4-8 postseason record over two turbulent years with the
team. The Bulls finished with a 41-41 mark in each season and were ousted by
the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of this year's playoffs.
Prior to his coaching stint with Chicago, Del Negro spent 13 seasons in the
NBA with Sacramento, San Antonio, Milwaukee, Phoenix and Golden State,
averaging 9.1 points and 3.2 assists in 771 career regular season games. He
also spent parts of three seasons playing in Italy.
The Clippers needed a replacement for interim head coach Kim Hughes, who was
relieved of his duties following this past season. Hughes, who took over
behind the bench after the resignation of Mike Dunleavy on February 4,
finished the season with an 8-25 record as the Clippers went 29-53 and landed
third in the Pacific Division.
The Clippers have not recorded a winning season since going 47-35 in 2005-06,
which was the last time the club advanced to the postseason. That year, LA
topped Denver in five games before falling in a seven-game Western semifinal
against Phoenix.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6
The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.
Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com. "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.
It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis. It's like Week 1 of the NFL. Pre-season means nada!
We do know the 24 finalists however.
Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24. He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway. He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien.
Brandon Rogers - Who?
Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition. He should go a good distance.
Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was. And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition. He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice! People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way.
"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks. He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes. But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.
A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”
Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes.
"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate. "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past. He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far. Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."
Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts)
And the others:
Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter
The girls
"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis. "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has. The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive. I think she will go far."
Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.
"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams. Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth. "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.
Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.
Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.
Antonella Barba
Gina Glocksen
Hailey Scanardo
Jordan Sparks
