Cavs' West pleads guilty to charges
Basketball Betting Lines
07/15/2010 -
Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West pled
guilty to weapons and traffic charges stemming from his arrest last September,
according to a report in the Washington Post.
The judge in Prince George's County Circuit Court sentenced West to eight
months of electronic monitoring and home detention, two years of probation, 40
hours of community service and psychological counseling. He will be allowed to
attend practices, home games and away games, the paper said.
West was indicted on two counts of carrying a dangerous weapon, two counts of
carrying a handgun, two counts of transporting a handgun, one count of
reckless driving and one count of negligent driving.
West, 26, faced up to three years in jail for each weapons charge and a $2,500
fine per offense.
In September, he was arrested following a traffic stop on his motorcycle for
allegedly carrying a 8.5-inch Bowie-style knife, a 9mm Beretta, a Ruger .357
and a shotgun inside a guitar case that was hanging on his back.
During the 2008-09 season, West left the Cavaliers during training camp to be
treated for what he later said was bipolar disorder, according to The
Cleveland Plain Dealer at the time.
The St. Joseph's product, a six-year pro, missed the first three games of the
2009-10 season before returning and averaging 8.8 points and 3.3 assists in 60
regular season games for the club.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
