Celtics bring back Delonte West

Basketball Betting Lines

09/01/2010 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Celtics have signed free agent guard Delonte West.

Terms of the deal were not released, but the Boston Herald reports it is a non-guaranteed contract for the upcoming season.

West was an original draft pick of the Celtics in 2004, taken 24th overall out of Saint Joseph's.

The 27-year-old veteran of six seasons spent the last two-plus years in Cleveland. He was limited to 35 games in 2009-10 and 64 games a year earlier dealing with a myriad of legal and health problems. He was dealt to Minnesota last July and was subsequently waived.

West's best years came in Boston where he averaged a career-high 12.2 points with 4.4 assists in 69 games during the 2006-07 campaign. He started 71 games for the C's a year prior when he averaged a career-best 4.6 assists and 4.1 rebounds while scoring 11.8 per game.

In 339 career games, including 221 starts, West has averaged 9.9 points, 3.7 assists and 3.1 boards while connecting on 37.8 percent of his three-point tries.

West also spent a brief stint with Seattle in 2007-08 after being dealt by Boston in the trade that netted Ray Allen from the SuperSonics.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds

Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy.

Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
