danrman · 03-26-09, 01:19 AM

ck im thinking they get rasheed and possibly rip back for this game... if they dont it would be tough to play them.. i see they are doubtful

kroyrunner89 · 03-26-09, 01:27 AM

its hard to track a challenge if you guys don't update what your records are... i don't have time to go through a full thread and figure out who is winning.

corona · 03-26-09, 01:30 AM

NBA

Portland/Phoenix under 221.5

The best! Phoenix will be playing their 3rd game in 4 days with travel an a different time zone involved...I like the Blazers to play a tough defensive game and take the Suns out of what tey like to do best which s run. Phoenix will win the 1st half with ease, but Portland is a 4th quarter team (the best in the NBA) and are prone to huge come from behind wins. At the same time, this is the highest total assigned to a Portland game this year. That alone deserves a stab at the under. Still undecided about a side on this one, but the early nod goes to the Blazers...

last time these teams played each other in portland they combined for 243. and that was before gentry went back to the running game.

that doesn't worry you?

therber2 · 03-26-09, 01:43 AM

Phoenix played a hell of a game yesterday, and now they'll be going to play the Jazz at home [I'll call this one ahead of time: Jazz win the 2nd half]. Today its gonna be defense on both sides...I'm leaning on Portland winning it. I'm with CK on this on the under.

That's because we need a scorekeeper! Someone was keeping it for us, but I guess that they stopped. I think it's like this:

CK (The People's Champion) 6-1
BigMoney 5-2
Night 5-2

So now that you have the update, you are more than welcome to keep the score from here on out, because I don't want to bother myself with this kind of thing. I like to handicap and win the big ones.

No actually it made me feel like doing the opposite of conventional thinking. The truth of the matter is that 243 spot is exactly why I am taking the under in this game. The public will pound the over, so I will go the other way. When i saw that this is the highest total for a Portland game this year it made the choice very easy for me. What makes this day so special that the total had to be this high?

cnleaf · 03-26-09, 10:34 AM

Let Me make up the record board.
Three-Man Challenge Scoreboard for the first three days:

CK (The People's Champion):6-1-0 (Not counting the non-competition picks)

Nitetrain:6-1-0

BigMoneyMan:5-2-0 (Not counting the non-competition picks)

cocknocker · 03-26-09, 10:45 AM

Actually Nite is 5-1-1 because he got a push on the over/under for Chicago/Detroit 3/24/09

Chicago/Detroit ov/un 190

Final Score

Chicago 99- Detroit 91

That's 190 on the button all day. No one has ever mentioned the push he had on that total.

cocknocker · 03-26-09, 10:47 AM

Should look more like this

CK 6-1

Nite 5-1-1

Big 5-2

cocknocker · 03-26-09, 10:54 AM

I have a non-competition pick today. It is non-competition because i am buying points.

I am taking the Blazers at -3.5 buying three points (BIG, BUT NOT HEAVY).

I thought the 6.5 was a few too many points considering their straight up record against the Suns, yet and still I think that the spread was presented in such a way as to pull in a ton of Phoenix money (and it will) and then pull the carpet out from underneath their backers. Portland will win this game late considering the amount of minutes logged by the Suns starters in their past couple of games against Denver and Utah. They have used their bench a little bit, but their bench is filled with inexperience, and that doesn't help on the road in one of the hardest places for opponents to pick up road wins. Barbosa's absence will show in this game. The starters will be tired and in foul trouble by the end of the 3rd quarter and Portland will get their second win in 11 tries. 9-1 straight up is what it is. But I can't back a tired team even if the points do look tantalizing.

OK. I got the local line at 188.5. The closed line online is 190. So thats a push.

Correction:

Nitetrain: 5-1-1

cnleaf · 03-26-09, 11:03 AM

BTW, I will keep updating the scoreboard from now on since my internet is back on. So CK, u guys can fully focus on the competition.

Pick#8

Purdue/Connecticut under 134

cs11787 · 03-26-09, 01:09 PM

Hey CK I understand your point on the under on the Pho game but can you collaborate for me on the under for the Purdue/UConn game?

SexyMit · 03-26-09, 01:56 PM

I actually like Purdue and the points tonight.

Don't mean to step on Ck's toes here, but I heard the head coach of Purdue saying they were going to try to slow down the pace of the game...made me think about under...

stakagrp · 03-26-09, 02:13 PM

I believe that BigMoneyMan stands at 6-2 if his Indiana play counted. His plays yesterday were Minny+10, Clippers+6.5, Phoenix-3, and Indiana which would've been a pick'em. If all plays counted then he went 4-0 yesterday. Just wanted to help out on keeping the records straight. Nice picks by all 3 competitors and keep it up with the great picks!

Indiana is not counted as the competition play since it is made at the last minute. Plays have to be made at least 30 minutes earlier than gametime.

cocknocker · 03-26-09, 02:34 PM

Plus he never actually came out and said he was playing Indiana as well. He said that he AS GOING not that it was a challenge pick.

Pick'nParlays · 03-26-09, 02:44 PM

Are we still waiting on BMM and Night?

BigMoneyMan · 03-26-09, 02:58 PM

Im -220 fav NO totals, no buy points beyond the original line.

Here is what the original rules that was the challenge which I started. Then Ck came back and said totals were ok because this is the NBA. That makes me a serious disadvantage since I never play them but I didn't say shit. If you are not counting the INDY pick last night 20 minutes before game time then how the hell are you counting NCAA picks. If we want to go back the the original challenge I am kicking the shit out of the competition with no totals or NCAA. Now lets be men and pick the Fu cking picks and let the chips fall where they may or I am out. I am not going to let my Challenge rules be changes as we go. If you don't want to abide by the origianl rules fine. NEW ONES are anything goes as long as it is posted before game time. I swear if I hear one more fu king thing about the time of my posts I am gone for good. GOT IT

PS I will tally the score ASAP!!

stakagrp · 03-26-09, 03:11 PM

Wow sorry for stirring up controversy on the scores. I'm going to keep my mouth shut and just sit back. Please continue with the competition BigMoney, CK, and Nite. No matter how this competition pans out you guys are still making picks that are winners and thats what counts. I've never seen a competition where the scores are so tight between the competitors and that obviously proves something, that you guys are good at what you do.

Pick'nParlays · 03-26-09, 03:11 PM

you guys are kinda lame to tail. to much time bickering. what happened to the early bird quote from a few days ago Night?

Pick'nParlays · 03-26-09, 03:15 PM

thx for the early picks CK

cs11787 · 03-26-09, 03:49 PM

Was that Pho/Por u221.5 made official by CK? All I see is Pick #8 Pur/UConn u134. This thread is making us so much money! Thanks fellas!

CashIn · 03-26-09, 03:54 PM

yeah, CK, can u clarify up what's official and what's not?

SexyMit · 03-26-09, 04:03 PM

CK I hope your ready for the NBA playoffs to face me in Sams competition? I am coming for you... In the final match before playing you. Told you over a mth ago I was coming for you lol. GL tonight gentlemen

BigMoneyMan · 03-26-09, 04:08 PM

TO CK AND NIGHT ONLY!! I really don't see what is not said here I want to add a play but its only 20 minutes before game. I consider it a pick. If not then in all fairness I think NCAA picks like San Diego yesterday should be tossed also since this is a NBA challenge. I think that both should be included and as long as the picks are in before game time then they should be counted. And from now NCAA is included also. Please let know which you prefer so I may list the totals before we continue tonight.

PS. FOR THE REST I am a little on edge because It has been said that I posted my bets late or made them up after the game started. I DO NOT like being called a lier and the only reason this was said is because of posting a seperate pick for every game I updated each day as is progressed. I cannot help it if you were not there to check it out before game time. That is the last that will be said on tis matter, period.

Pick'nParlays · 03-26-09, 04:23 PM

Pick'nParlays · 03-26-09, 05:39 PM

Indy + or - what? Where's your spread? Why didn't you play it within the time parameters? This is why your challenge against Night fell through the last time. You were not clear with this play and you certainly did not list what the spread was. That is VERY clear. You can't make an official play without listing the spread you got. Otherwise a guy can list anything. At the same time, you may also call out Night on some of his plays because he didn't list the number on some of his as well. Me myslef I am ALWAYS very clear on what it is that I am playing. It is only fair that if this pick for Indiana doesn't count, (which it won't) that some of Night's picks also be bought into question if he did not list the spreads and totals correctly.
