I went 8-3-1 last night, a nice beginning to the second half if I do say so myself. I was starting to worry with my litany of poor performances leading up to the all star break. It’s a long season as they say and I guess I was starting to fatigue. As somewhat of rookie I have never picked every game every day and the daily grind of the season was beginning to take a toll on me. After getting some much needed rest I am rejuvenated. I mean really, "how could I falter when I’m the Rock of Gibraltar." Getting back to the situation at hand, I did have a good night, but I feel like I should win them all. I was upset at myself for taking Seattle and I continue to get burned by the Cavs. Other than King James and Big Z who do they have. They are real tough at home and improved on the road. And for my can’t lose pick I took Memphis. They covered, but they tied, which is actually good in the grand scheme of things but if I pick 7 NBA winners I want one of those to be my can’t lose pick. Again a tie is not all bad in sports betting. When I was a blackjack player I did not see pushing as a good thing. But when you got ten grand riding on a game I think I would rather tie than lose. Anyway, here’s the deal for tonight:

seattle(+5) over ATLANTA
**PHILLY(-1.5) over cleveland(can't lose)
NEW JERSEY(-11) over orlando
NEW YORK(+9) over miami
OKLAHOMA CITY(-5.5) over utah
clippers(+5) over HOUSTON

PHOENIX(-13) over boston
PORTLAND(-3) over charlotte

Bonus pick record is 12-9-1
Today's pick: tennessee(+7) over FLORIDA
