I stayed away from that game as I don't like to risk money when a newly acquired player makes a debut. It is not like a new coach. Hope for you the Clips will pull it back  - but it does seem like the Raptors are giving it a serious effort.

 Well after much back and forth and some tailing of your picks (up and down) I am still hanging steady at $1300.  I cannot pick college BBall this year worth a damn so that is my downfall.  So for now I am just going to tail you in NBA and use my own skills for Golf (my favorite and most knowledgeable sport) and small amounts on the local College Teams.  Really you should just bet the sports/teams you know the most about anyway... duh!!

Probably the most important thing I have learned from this thread is PATIENCE, PATIENCE, PATIENCE. Just place your bets carefully and win or lose do it again tomorrow, much like a golfer just taking it one shot at a time and not getting too excited either way!!

Just wanted to say thanks for this thread and keep up the good work.

I'm really liking the Knicks tonight. melo's on the zone right now, and with All Star Game coming up and the second half of the seaosn being all about seeing who's gonna be the MVP, I can totally see Carmelo upping his game from now on and posting 25+ games match after match. Knicks (and Carmelo) also like to finish their games in style, especially playoff teams, like they did to Dallas, Denver, Miami, Houston, Chicago, Spurs, so I see them confortably outscoring their rivals in the fourth quarter tonight.

As I said - hard to evaluate the impact a new player on the team will have the first night

I have no problems with anyone being against my picks. After all - what I am trying to do here and we're trying to do here is to develop independent thinking and acquire tools for independent handicapping GL

Damn Phixer, you must really be loading heavy on your big plays. I want some of that action. Why don't you just post and play your big plays and trash the rest!
