Well done. Pistons play Atlanta tomorrow. Another team that's Josh free. Also the team with the best record in the East. Coincidence? Doubtful.

a geek like me hates the inefficiencies that Josh Smith represents, but he was making 14 million a year.

What that says to me, is that the coaches and scouts and agents are just as much at fault.

The incentives weren't aligned.

I was on the fence w Phx getting 5, but its their 3rd game in 4 nights and SA seems rested, i just couldn't pull the trigger. GL on those picks, lets get them in.

50% about what i deserved for a guess.
Atlanta almost blew a big lead by being outscored 28-16 in the 4qr.
6-2 Season

So this one was a little demoralizing for the crowd last night.

The Bricks took 30! "long twos" tonight. 30!!
(i was bitching because the Rockets took 9 bad shots the other day)

No wonder the Knicks shot 39% from the field vs. the awful Hornets.

[Stillriledup]

Official selection:

Cavs +3 at Sac

Cavs, losers of 4 in a row, could get a win here with a couple new players in the fold, hopefully the Loves, Smiths and Mozgovs can grit their teeth and win a winnable game here.

Or, at least only lose by 2.

Portland -6 @ Lakers
-If Kobe decides to play and either has a good game or gets every call, then I will lose this bet. However I am grumpy tonight, and I REALLY dislike what Nick Young has evolved into. He has potentially to be a good role player, i used to like the guy!, - with his good length and athletic ability for defense and his skill set and 3pt shooting on offense. However, he has attained a corny "nba hiphop nickname" and begun jacking the ball up like one of those overpaid all-star level players that the league pretends are stars. He's like 5 for his last 24 from 3pt range although he has consistently been featured on sports center highlights. BOTH of these teams "just ball", with no strategy as far as shot-selection is concerned. Lilard and Aldridge have a chance to shine vs non-elite team-defense, and Matthews adds potential 3pt efficiency to the mix.
Swag "this" Swaggy-P

[Robert Fischer]

'swaggy p' is 0-5 (0-4 from 3) and Kobe isn't playing ,

and it's still only 5pts at halftime

Aldridge has 6 shots and ALL have been long-twos...


At least the same strengths vs. weaknesses exist as when I picked the game.
I have to be happy with the bet.
Go Trailblazers

Two official picks for tonight:

Phx -4 vs Cleveland.

Lebron a game time decision, but these guys lost to Sac by 20 in a "no try" effort, Phx is a winning team who plays as hard as anyone night in and night out, and i only have to lay 4. I'll bite.

Miami -1.5 vs Lakers

Heat coming off nice win vs Clippers the other day, maybe they're getting into form a bit....lakers still bottom feeders, kinda like that i can bet against LAL and only lay a very small amount, i'll take advantage of that here.
