Totally understand that the write ups are top notch but i know he has been short on time. I swear I hit refresh 20 times a day just to see if Mak has posted anything!! Good luck to all of us!
One lacks a lot of tack if they don't tail Mr. Mak.
If you don't follow his "pack", it will hurt like an L.T. sack!
SO, clickity-clack, if a train comes down the track
With a load of plays from the Mak....don't say i didn't warn you to
Watch your back.
Don't give me no flack if you didn't double your stack!

PICK: LAKERS MONEYLINE (-145) - - - 3 UNITS
PICK: LAKERS – 2.5(-110) - - - 3 UNITS
Never underestimate the heart of a champion. Sad how so many people lose faith so quickly. This is the same roster guys. Same guys who have done it year in and year out. If you go back to my season preview of the Lakers, this struggle was foreseen. They just do not have the same heart & hunger they once did. That is why this team will not do it again this year. Boston won’t allow it, and by the looks of things the Spurs, Mavs and Thunder may have something to say about it as well. Nevertheless, if I lose money betting on Kobe, Pau, Lamar, Ron, Fish & Drew not to lose 4 in a row for the first time...then so be it. I will gladly say bye to the 5 bills in my bankroll, I bet with my head and my heart and will not feel pain if the Hornets out-duel the Lakers tonight. In fact matchup wise I see a clear advantage for Los Angeles. Fish’s size at the one always seems to cause CP3 difficulty, tonight however, I think CP3 will be the only reason Orleans stays in the game. Marco is the deficiency in the roster that will be exploited today. Ariza will guard Kobe which means Artest will muscle his way to a dominant offensive game against Marco and Marcus Thornton. When Artest contributes offensively, he becomes a stud defensively and the Lakers almost always win. Pau and Lamar are going to beast on West and Okafor. Emeka and David will put up a good fight, but Pau has had a few 20/20 games against each of them and should dominate after a poor performance. Bynum will be stellar off the bench in about 25 minutes of play tonight and the killer B’s Brown, Barnes and Blake will step up. The Lakers may lack the hunger to win another title, the arrogant bravado of Kobe Bryant and the Showtime Squad will be in effect tonight. Don’t ever mistake pride for hunger, it will cost you. NBA athletes are very proud, especially world champs. They cannot afford to lose this game.

Mak, I honestly think that just about all of us cappers (excluding you) were basically clueless yesterday while trying to figure out how the reeling Lakers would respond to their ugly 3-game losing streak. Even the sentiments of those actually picking the Lakers last night seemed more wishful than wise. The die-hard Laker lovers had banked on the rebound game being played in San Antonio, and when that didn't come close to happening, I think they (and just about all of us) were left scratching our heads about this sudden and very surprising Laker slump. But you nailed this game, and you nailed it definitively. Prior to reading your post, I was leaning to the Lakers losing again, but after reading it, I said to myself "Whoa.....the Hornets are screwed."
Very impressive pick, a romp from start to finish. The Hornets were never allowed to feel as if they were in it. Your clinching line (for me) was "the arrogant bravado of Kobe Bryant and the Showtime Squad will be in effect tonight."
Nice job on all three of your bets. Your three selections won by 14, 15, and 21 points, and each covered the spread by an even dozen. Damn! That sure beats spending the evening having your hopes and dreamed dashed by the diabolical Dwyane Wade (
).
