WHEW!!! Vit I thought you were cooked when they added the extra 1.2 sec after looking at the monitor. They ALWAYS add more time than they should. It's human nature as they forget there's always a delay between a ref whistle and the timekeeper hitting the button. Replay removes that.

I missed them end of the game. What did I miss?

You had a chance to blow the ATS when it shouldn't have been in doubt. Nebbish went into full panic, committing a foul down 1 with .34 left on an inbounds pass when Mary only had 08 left on the shotclock. Now you're down 3. Neb kills a shit ton of time before taking a bad shot. Now Mary is about to shoot to go up 70-65 with 6.8 seconds left. Figure you're safe because with that little time not enough time to miss and foul. But refs go to monitor (love these delays!) and make it 8.2. That's 1.4 more seconds of "Bend Over Vit" time. Mello makes both, 70-65. Fortunately for you the 3ball Neb shot missed so short and instead of catching it and getting hacked an OM player swatted it out toward halfcourt and the clock ran out.

My goodness. Wasn't in front of a TV and ESPN play by play on the phone doesn't give those details. I would like to have a game that wins by 20 every so often .....or just once.

Can't help you. I try to pick 8 point Dogs that lose by 7.

Did complete the 6-0 last night. Now 14-5 since that 4-7 Saturday which caused two idiots to break my balls in the Service Play section. Why so quiet now Mr. Unlucky? Please don't respond. We already have enough stupidity here in Poly.

705 TOR +1 / 717 Delaware +7 / 727 Fla-Intl +12 / 774 CS-Full -3.5 / 776 Usc -4.5

My notes from last year's TOR visit (97-102)(+3.5)(OT) to POR read, "A disgraceful robbery for POR both SU +ATS."

DOUBLE STANK ALERT:

Keeping a separate record for these games (3-0) because I don't bet them (yet). These are games where the Line apears to be obviously off by several points.

1) Detroit is -3 at Cleve St. Det is 0-9 on the Road this season and has lost 6 straight at Cle St, 5 by 10 ponts or more. The oddsmaker STANK is on the ROAD TEAM, Detroit.

2) Tulane is -3 Home vs Ucf. Tulane is on a 1-9 SU run, and has lost 8 in a row to Ucf. The STANK Play is Tulane.

You mean you separated the STANK from the STANK? Don't know how you did that but I'm glad you did the right one.

I have a shot to go 4-1 tonight. And with that HOU-PHX 216 hit I'm liking February so far.

Leading precariously in all 3 remaining. I know we're opposite at Usc though. Don't know if Raptors can learn how to close out West?

Anyone see the shenanigans late in Knicks@Det? Fisher called a TO with 6 seconds left down 6. Pissed Van Gundy off or so it appeared. Knicks dunk. Now down 4 with 2.2 left. DET (-3.5) was hit to -4.5 about 30 minutes before the game. Anyway Van Gundy with the insurmountable lead calls a TO up 4 with 2.2 left. And KNICKS FOUL! But to make things even again while Van Gundy was giving his post game press conference Fisher was at his house fucking his wife :):)

Pushed Fullerton. OUCH, laid -4 but at 8 Eastern it dropped to -3. Cost not only a Win but potentially another Middle Opp.

I watched it. The NBA is classic in last 30 seconds of the game. Thought the knicks would let the inbound and time run out......nope.

Handicapping is not enough in this league. It's not a matter of "Can they?" It's "Will they? (Cover)" Some teams will play 48 minutes vs another good team, and jerk off in the 4Q vs a bad one. Hello OKC.

Look to bet on the inexplicable - Lose at Lakers, at Clippers next night, same court. Looks easy to say, "Well the Lakers just beat them. LAC will pound them." No, don't do that! LOL!

Furthermore, who goes out to dinner with whom when coaches visit different cities? Who has a beef with the team who traded him away? A coach going through a personal crisis, like returning from a funeral - If his players like him they will max out the effort for that one game. So many edges to look for and grab hold of.

The only variables that keep anyone from winning are effort and time.

I've also noticed that if Kobe is visiting a Western conference city TWICE he will expend more effort in the second trip. In the first game he might even sit out. He wants to leave a lasting impression to the fans in every city.

Just noticed ..... 33 years exactly since the day a drunken asshole plowed into me, obliterated my left arm and changed my life forever. Friday, 2/5/83. I ain't superstitious though. But I'll be trying extra hard to win tonight, and keep this run going through the NCAAs and NBA Playoffs.
