I would love Pablo to investigate that further. Your interpreter is just stealing millions from you and you have no idea it’s happening? That is so beyond suspicious.

Pablo claims it is related to card games. But not sure why you would arrest guys playing in high stakes card games. Rather arrest the guys running the games.

We’ve got another hour to speculate.

Posted in GB, but I do not like tax payer money being spent on investigating whether a guy intentionally took too many or too little threes in a quarter. Just make it a civil matter between the gamblers, the gambling sites, the league and players.

Even if this Billups story ends up just being about poker, I can't help but feel the allowing of gambling as a whole has just emboldened people to take more dumb risks. Beasley, Porter, Rozier, Billups and probably more we don't know about. And that's just the past few years or so...

If it's anything like the Gilbert Arenas' arrest, Billups may have had a hand in running the games.

VJ looks special. But the Celtics defense also looks horrific.

Sounds like Rozier's bust is related to his player props. Algorithm detected massive amounts of "Under" bets on him, and he left that game with an injury.

Alright PP, time to toss whatever rumours you'd heard about Jordan's gambling in his Bulls days onto the board.

Or at the very least, make one up!

The Celtics are going to end up tanking. I bet Brown bails with an “injury” at some point.
