After a second day in the last week where the NBA schedule failed to excite The Big Dog, Thursday promises to provide an apathy antidote, with a huge 12 games and some truly tasty match-ups to sink our teeth into. From a clash between the most in-form teams in the East, to four games that …

The Big Dog emerges from a Monday spent in the confines of the kennel and is launching headlong into a ten-game NBA Tuesday. Today looks like it could be a potential nightmare for tipping competition players and gamblers alike… but once again, The Big Dog has plucked a few specials from the pack. Today the …

It was a frustrating Saturday for The Big Dog, as both players picked to have big nights were especially quiet. All the talk was around the classic double-overtime encounter, in Boston. The Warriors would extend their record to 24-0 with a nail-biting 124-119 win… but at what cost? With both teams also playing today, The …

Fortunately, the Pistons delivered a predictably comprehensive win over the hapless Lakers, which meant the overall result for a 1-2 day was a loss …

It’s fair to say that The Big Dog was pleased with his decision to stay in the kennel yesterday, with the Wizards overcoming the absence of almost their entire front-court rotation to beat the Suns and the Pelicans scoring a huge win in overtime, against the Cavaliers. With ten games slated for today, we’re back …
