GucciCapper had an AMAZING time at the Chiefs game. Although the game didn't go the way GucciCapper would have liked it to go, the experience was something GucciCapper will never forget. A grown man, who had season tickets for 32 years (row 2, 50 yard line) was in TEARS when Kansas City took the lead with 2 minutes left. He was waiting for this moment his whole life. The passion of the fans and the noise was something GucciCapper never felt at any other live event.
Throw in the fact that it was so cold, GucciCapper's BEER was completely frozen. The one thing that GucciCapper thought was a bit unnecessary came from Patrick Chung after the game. He came right up to the first row and gave his gloves to a Patriots fan. Then he looked at GucciCapper and said "FUQ you Bich" and walked away. Not being a Chiefs fan, it wasn't a big deal for GucciCapper. But GucciCapper thinks that was a tad inappropriate.
Ok, enough with NFL, lets get back to NBA. GucciCapper is hoping to go on a little win streak in the NBA after winning with OKC on Saturday. Today, GucciCapper will be laying the 3 points with the Memphis Grizzlies. GucciCapper knows, how can you lay 3 points when a team is 1-11 in their last 12 games. Here's why:
1) The Pelicans don't play defense. Throw GucciCapper on the court and GucciCapper would probably have this stat line. 3 points 1/6 shooting, 1 turnover, 6 fouls. Even an average joe like GucciCapper wouldn't have that bad of a game against this team. Throw in the fact that Anthony Davis won't be in to protect the rim, and the Grizzlies should finally be able to score some easy points.
2) The Pelicans have been on the road for 9 days. This will be their last road game and then they will be happy to go home for a game against the Pistons. GucciCapper expected them to show some heart last game against the Blazers, but they folded. Now without AD on the court, GucciCapper can't see how they will be focused for this game.
3) The Martin Luther King angle. Pre-game festivities for MLK day. The whole story with Garrett Temple. Things like this motivate a team. Plus playing on TNT, GucciCapper can't expect the Grizzlies to fall flat again.
4) Grizzlies are starting a 5 game homestead. What better way to break out a slump then some home cooking? They were only on the road for 2 games, so GucciCapper isn't worried about them coming home from a long trip and not being ready for this game.
GucciCapper knows it's very hard to lay 3 points with the Grizzlies here today. Hell, ESPN matchup predictor has the Pelicans at 56.9 to win this game. Throw in all the angles here, and GucciCapper expects a solid performance from Memphis tonight. GucciCapper usually doesn't like to lay points in the NBA, but will do so on this special MLK holiday.
Best of luck boys. GucciCapper will be drinking copious amounts of beer today to warm up GucciCapper's body temperature. One last day in Kansas City and then off to beautiful Las Vegas, NV!
