Been awhile with work and travel for both biz and pleasure. And its shown on my streak results. Time to get back to the right side of a good long streak. Got home (been away for 3 weeks) and had a Covers Hat awaiting.. Maybe it'll become a superstition for me if I can hit some solid streaks. haha - but I won't lie it would be if it did happen.
Lets go Nuggets!! Hopefully they don't get royally screwed by blatant goaltend call with 40 seconds to go in the game. Shame as it might be the best series of all the playoffs and its the first round. WC playoff teams are pretty glad they're removing one of the two I believe. The Mavs handling the Blazers is showing a different Dallas club then I'm used to... But 2 games or even one series is too quick to judge I will say... Taking the over on Philly/Miami as I think they get up and down in their home arena and the Heat will be happy to get up tempo a bit. GL2all! |

Going Toronto and with Romero nick split finger fastball that can be deftly. Cahill can hurl for sure. And a lil' concerend with Jose Bautista not in the Jays lineup. I think they do alright at home. I don't like picking MLB this early as need to see how things fall into place even far into May for me :) GL 2 all. Hope we get some serious streak building. Picking while traveling and having no idea what been happening in the sports world = LOSS, LOSS, LOSS... Back to winning!!

Right back atcha Dsmooth... Oregon has been getting it together. Pac-10 has some very good squads in the brewing for next year. If WashSt gets their full roster to return, they'll be tough. UCLA returns almost all their squad plus the Ware brothers will have waited on the one year after transferring from the Tar Heels.
Too bad Henson fouled out for the first time ever and that Barnes attempted 3 for the tie wasn't reviewed he got hit pretty big time with the body. Ah well, I hope UConn crushes UK. I can't stand Calipari and the Wildcats. When he came on it just made it worse for me. A guy who gives two shits about an education for his players. Two sanctions down on him. Sampson got the coroner @ Indiana and Calipari gets a nice pat on the back for $5 million plus. lol No offense to UK fans, truly. Just my opinion is all. Nothing more. Obviously very biased. Calipari is shady to me, nothing more nothing less... Bullock (who was the 3 pt threat for UNC outside of Barnes) getting hurt was big and the Ware bros off the bench would have been very nice. McAdoo and some coming in. UNC will be strong. Henson and Barnes may go but if one stays let along both. Look out, that team is loaded. Zeller and Marshall have some serious mojo. That starting 5 is very solid. Long life the Tar Heels. Ute and Heels for life baby!! Finish off March strong to all!!! |

Going with Oregon to cover vs Creighton. Despite it being in Omaha. I think Creighton's old coach, Oregon's current coach knows his old team enough to keep it close even if they lose. Oregon showed some improvement at the end of the season and their conf tourney form as well... :) other 'Singler' is playing ball too. Cheers to them covering by a 4 pt or less loss or win. and a 4 streak, knock on wood...

Alright, back to 3 in a row. Here we go for 4!! Crazy good tourney games despite both going against who I was rooting for although I had the "David" in me pulling for Butler. Great stuff! Lets go Heels over UK tomorrow. kow!!

Going over on the NO-UT game. They don't play D @ Utah and its back 2 back. They can score even without DWill. Hope my luck is on the other side of .5 and 1 spreads tomorrow. Sweet 16. Both early games should be dandy's...

Back to the drawing board. Washington St. lose by .5 :(

Well Durant is in. Will be curious to see if it does go over now...

Washington State -3.5 is quite tempting as well. Over for OKC (If Durant plays) and them covering as well...

Grabbing a National Champ can make all the difference from my experience... Ya the group name is Global Chillin' Password: Mad Dancing Pretty chill. can be very active some days and then slow. Been going for a couple years. We first started we had comments going all the time. Cobra, wtriay,jezzo, jack daveiny, gromit, bamafan31, swolegraveman, bustinloos (although he's serving in Iraq right now), pulgamomma, deeznuts. Some are banned for what seems to be ever. lol. But the group board is respectful even if different ways are seen. Come on in. I'll check on it over the next couple days and hop in when you're there. My bro (TurtlesDave) and Pop are in the group as well. That invite extend to anyone here that does do sftc also. Cheers! kow as I am on the Magic and taking the -1.5 vs the knick (coincidence?) lol I don't believe in coincidences. They happen for some looney reason. Gonna have to go with the Knicks closing struggles. Also I think they will struggle with D12, JRich, and Hedo mightily esp when the stops and buckets may mean something if it is close... |

Quad 17... ru quad 2 or is it 4 on sftc? I'm watercrews on there. If you
are we'be been on boards several times over the last couple years.
Have a decent group with some funny players. They show up during the
week. Weekends slow down a bit. Anyway, just trying to make a connection
with usernames. Hit me up if you wanna check the group out...
I had Texas beating Duke in a lot of my brackets but SDSU going to Houston. UConn passes the eye test and that bracket right now. Will be tough to get past Derrick Williams if AZ makes perimeter shots. Lots to go. Tar Heels are my boys but I have the Buckeyes winning it all. If they hold up, it could come to tiebreaker (final game total pts) for who wins in the few big pools I'm in. Anyhow, CHEERS to ALL! Great time of year for sports although football is not in season. October may take it all as all four pro sports are being played and the NFL is kicking in mid-season. But this is a cure all for me with no football. I'm okay with MLB but its a long season of 162 games with not many other options. haha |

Ya I can't disagree smoothd20. I actually like him and do applaud the Nuggets front office on how they handled the situation and Melo as well. I knew it would be NJ or NYK cuz of LaLa :/... But what sports do you see a franchise player on a playoff team get offered the max money deal and they don't sign it. Just the state of the NBA. Very glad he didn't do what lebron did. Will have to say why is MSG referred to the 'mecca' of basketball?? When have the Knicks ever had a dynasty let alone more then one trophy. That arena definitely has some college mystique and maybe they have some players from high school get in there although I don't see that in the Big Apple with alternate venues and MSG annual schedule. Boston Garden and Staples have christened more then MSG has despite less then a decade in age.
Always confused me. Lebron calling it that too?? I'd give that to the Celts or Lakers if it regards PRO ball. No biggie. I know New York is the MECCA of STREETBALL but the Knicks have nothing to do with it?? Bulls have some serious mojo going. Mecca of college goes to the state of North Carolina, no? So where did Knick get that label. Interesting to me. I think Denver did great with what they did. Maybe they don't have a current all-star anymore but they play TEAM ball and you get a handful of double digit scorers. Winning teams = all star selections in the future. I can see a few Nugget players have the 'potential...' will they?? idk. Ty Lawson is showing me why I thought he was much like CP3. Can't stay in front. He'll break ankles and dish it to a big guy for a dunk. I swore the NBA off much like I do the college football post-season. But I am watching more with the trade finished as long as it has nothing to do with Miami. I'm really not much of a hater, but the whole concert and fireworks after they signed and how he announced his 'decision' was something I will not ever really get over. I actually like lebron quite a bit before that too... Made Kobe the non-villain to me thats for sure. Kobe loves it too, I'm sure... lol I think we see that whole thing very similarly my friend... |

Was out of town for the NCAA tourney regional in Tuscon. Got the over with Bama-UNM tonight. Taking the Bulls @ -3.5 tomorrow. Unreal CHI is tied for #1 seed! Love DRose! Awesome stuff :) It would be a bit of a stretch for me to say I enjoy seeing ANYONE struggle but I do like to see some eat CROW occasionally. LBJ and now, melo(drama), and his antics to leave a great franchise and winning team in Denver. I don't wish ill upon him but a lil' karma?? Gotta say that the new Nuggets play a TEAM entertaining exciting brand of ball. 8 different high scorers since their trade :) Good stuff. Maybe a year to mesh but they got a great batch of deep young players!
How' bout that Butler-Pitt ending?? Feel for Pitt on the dumb foul. Coach Dixon shouldn't have to coach them but why do you risk them even on the lane once it was tied?? Crazy... Keep on keepin on heels :) kow! Good luck, lets keep some streaks going. God Bless to all... No offense if you're a Knick fan. I just am not a fan of the state of the nba 'superstar' so to speak right now. I am a huge fan of Melo's offensive game but I think these players calling the shots has gotten out of hand personally. I understand others perceive it differently and have no qualms. Just wanted to be clear. I'm on everyone's side type guy :) haha |
