Lakers know they need better ball movement

Basketball Betting Lines

06/09/2010 -

BOSTON (AP) -Pau Gasol wants the ball.

That's no surprise. All big guys think their team should throw it into the post more often.

But perhaps the Los Angeles Lakers should make sure he gets those touches, and while they're at it give a few more to Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom, too.

The Lakers had stretches of good ball movement Tuesday night in Game 3 of the NBA finals, but also one quarter where the ball kept getting stuck and forced Kobe Bryant to hoist up too many shots.

Los Angeles rediscovered its offensive flow in time to hold on for a 91-84 victory, but knows it must keep the ball moving against the Celtics on Thursday in Game 4.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
