Lehmann set to retire after season

Soccer Betting Lines

03/10/2010 - Stuttgart, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Veteran goalkeeper Jens Lehmann is set to call time on his illustrious career at the end of the season, after turning down the offer of a new contract at Stuttgart.

The 40-year-old has decided against staying with the Swabians, leaving Sven Ulreich and Alexander Stolz to battle it out for a starting spot.

Lehmann told Bild: "Staying would be unfair on Sven Ulreich. He will be rivalling Alexander Stolz and they are both looking forward to the challenge.

"I am planning to retire, but you just never know. I am still really enjoying playing football."

Lehmann made his name with Schalke, before going on to feature for AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal, while also winning more than 60 caps for Germany.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.

Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend.  Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.
