for fun

[losturmarbles]

i would guess some of the leader board will be making more aggressive and riskier picks now...

[yisman]

absolutely. We're seeing more leaderboard streaks getting put on the line than usual.

I'll pick an upset. Spurs, even though they're +135 ML.

There were a tremendous amount of leaderboard streaks risked on Tuesday. I'll tally it up later.

[yisman]

bad beat.

was thisclose to a SA win. They appeared to have the game at two different points in OT, but they blew it.

Dirk had a dominant game. He did a hell of a lot of posing.

[Jshap1515]

I hate ESPN Streak. It seems so easy when you get a W7 but so hard when you are at L2

[yisman]

two games were possible after 5 PM (7:30 hockey and 10:35 NBA prop), but I didn't want to pick Pittsburgh/Ottawa.

Put my W1 on the Carolina Panthers.

I think San Antonio would've won last night had Ginobili gotten injured. He only played 7 minutes. I was counting on him to be in the lineup.

Basically, it was a good pick.


I would've taken Salmons late, so let's see how that turns out.

lol onthesack

considering one would think the ducks should be a medium sized dog and not so close to even, i'm expecting the ducks to win tonight.

and i like forrest griffin to win, seems like everyone else does too, so ortiz will probably win again.

[yisman]

pretty funny quote. He predicted it "off the record".

http://forum.sbrforum.com/players-talk/266151-pay-attention-kentucky-sharp-inthewhat-basketball-season-p4.html?#post2553382

Anyway, Memphis lost, so I'm back to 0

[SamsNCharge99]

streak of 1..going w/ 18 pts or more

[yisman]

should've taken no points in first 5. oh well.

Took Houston instead.

I'm just hoping it ends in time for Wisconsin.

I shouldn't have taken Vanderbilt. There were two good ones tonight (Texans and Wisconsin) worth good streaks.

[yisman]

leaning Arizona, but my concern is that they finished playing about 12 hours ago, while Colorado has had about 21 hours off.

[yisman]

Arizona was up 8 with like 30 seconds left, blew the lead, but won by 4 in OT.

W3 on Toronto.

Next pick will be Bynum.

[yisman]

Bynum or Wofford/Illinois?

Actual total is 134.5. Suckmaster has it at 130.5.

[yisman]

W5 on Besiktas +1.5.

[yisman]

:lol: I knew the Nadal name would rope in some leaderboard squares. He hasn't shown good form in a while.

[losturmarbles]

are you calling me a square yis?

yeah i kinda figured that was probably a trap play, but i didn't care.

picking nashville preds

[yisman]

well, you didn't have a streak anyway.

It's people with double digit streaks putting them on Nadal that are nuts.

Nothing good tonight. There will probably be something worth taking tomorrow.

[yisman]

I like Baylor to win, but they're -115, and that would conflict with Atlanta anyway.

I'm going to take either the Hawks or the Canucks.

[yisman]

OKC is -5 tomorrow at home.

[pico]

hawks suck

[yisman]

okc tonight

[yisman]

possibilities:

Seahawks
UCLA


the Ravens tonight, with Pitt missing Roethlisberger. Like 75% of the leaderboard should be on that one.

So the question is whether to make a pick prior to SNF or not.

[losturmarbles]

dolphins

[yisman]

lol, I got locked in on Seattle.

Oh well. I wasn't sure whether I could justify skipping a pick with so little time left, but I will still be pretty pissed if I lose, because it would cost me a possible W13. Would be pathetic to go the whole year with no W13, despite being so close so many times.

[yisman]

tough call with the Ravens tonight, but I'm taking Tennessee.

[SamsNCharge99]

I got Tennessee streak of 3
