...Conn is the easiest team in the world to back. They just seem to win and win.
...I give a mental edge to Purdue. Conn wears the crown. Boilers have had failures during the Painter era.
...Think they're plenty good to hang with the Huskies. Boiler Up.

Could PUR have played any worse? Day: 0-2.

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 04-08-24, 10:38 PM

Not questioning my play. But I think Cokin had UConn ATS in all six games. 6-0 ATS.

NBA: 2* MEM Grizzlies +3.5 (1.92). 2 to win 1.84.
...This is an amazing #. In response to the Wemby explosion.
...In NOV Mem was -3.5 @ SA. In JAN Mem was -11 Home vs SA.
...Wemby playing out of his mind. But he doesn't have much supporting cast w/ several guys out.
...Only 2nd time this season Spurs are a Road Fav. SA: 9-30 S/U on Road. Grabbing pts, hoping for the best.

Will add a 3rd unit: +3.5 (1.96). 1 to win .96.

Adding two units: +4.5 (1.92). 2 to win 1.84.

...Number blows my mind. And I should have my sanity questioned.
...Capping it at 5*. Taking my chances.

2* ATLANTA Hawks +3.5 (1.95). 2 to win 1.90.
...Rozier absence is pretty big.
...Duncan Robinson also out. So, MIA guard options are limited.
...Herro Ast/TO ratio not nearly as good as Rozier's.

FYI: I see that Rozier is not officially OUT. He is listed as Doubtful. Mills expected to start.

OK. Now, Rozier is OUT.

I took under here …

u like lakers tonight chuck I know u love to fade the dubs

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 04-09-24, 09:03 PM

Wow, was MEM a bad pick. Props to the Spurs.

Bad enough pick that I have to shut it down. My opinion doesn't mean much at the moment.

John, we should have been on MILW. That's the most focus I've seen out of the Bucks this season.

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 04-09-24, 09:18 PM

Pretty bad. Day: 0-7. Week = 0-9.

One bad pick + one bad beat. Fitting end to the day. I actually hope someone has been fading me so that they could profit from this.

Did my rowing this morning. Paddled out to the center of the lake, ran into a current and fell out of the boat. Landed squarely on solid earth.

Johnny, any opinion on Min/Den? That's the big game of the season.

**johnnyvegas13** · 04-09-24, 10:09 PM

Dubs shooting 15/22 from 3

sraymon green 5/5 from 3

no way they keep this up

Ya, John. GL with any plays you have.

Almost playoff time. How bout the lame effort by the Suns tonite?

Ya. Maybe if I had looked at it closer. I said that the Leonard removal wasn't that big.

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 04-12-24, 01:11 AM

Back on the horse. A few lines that make no sense to me:

2* Milw Bucks +14.5 (1.91). 2 to win 1.82.
...I know they have guys out. But cmon.

1* SAC Kings +5 (1.95). 1 to win .95

**johnnyvegas13** · 04-12-24, 09:27 AM

Ya bucks line is odd

i think they r gonna fold here and get ready for the must win Sunday

John, you may be right. I don't feel good about it:
*I really hope Lopez plays. If he sits, that may be a sign that they're raising the White Flag.

2* SAN ANT Spurs +13 (1.95). 2 to win 1.90.
...Don't think the # should be this high. Wemby had a huge game in Denver, almost Quad Double!

BTW, my picks suck. So, do as you see fit.

**johnnyvegas13** · 04-12-24, 09:58 AM

Ya I don’t like the kings pick either

maybe spurs win …

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 04-12-24, 11:35 AM

2* Chicago Bulls +2 (1.92). 2 to win 1.84.

New Orl was hitting everything last nite. They couldn't miss. I like the +5.

**stevenash** · 04-12-24, 12:05 PM

I watched that game, CJ is on a tear.

Exactly! He's a good player. But he had a CAREER game last nite.

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 04-12-24, 01:24 PM

Buck lineup looks OK:
*Lillard/Giannis OUT. Also, backup AJ Green OUT. Don't mind this, I hate Lillard.
*Buck starters = Bev/Beas/Midd/Portis/Lopez. Lopez was awesome against the Celtics.
...Not bad. Will be a little light on the bench.

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 04-12-24, 01:31 PM

2* LA CLIP -15 (1.90). 2 to win 1.80.
...I haven't bet a favorite this big in forever. All about the spot.
...Clippers literally took the day off last game vs PHX.
...Was to set up for this game. They can lock up the 4-seed (and HCA) with a win here.
...Utah is a shell. Tons of guys out, mostly playing scrubs. Clips will want to win this decisively.

My opinion is so bad. Bulls have multiple guys out. May be pointing to game vs ATL for seeding.

All that said, justify WASH laying pts versus anyone.
