Bump, @MHSL82?

Also best day road %.

Or do you want to wait until the end of the season for these?

I compiled it all but then I wasn’t sure about what would be best to do. Maybe tomorrow I can look into it.

Orlando Magic over Charlotte Hornets
New York Knicks over Atlanta Hawks
New Orleans Pelicans over Oklahoma City Thunder

It's your 3rd time you've had a perfect day.

Prize: John Stockton comes over, and you watch him go 26-26 on free throws.

Bonus Prize: Karl Malone comes over, and you watch him "pull the chair" and cause opposing bigs to accumulate 9 turnovers.

What made you pick this?

I thought we were smarter than shooting the ball with 13 seconds to go when we were ahead. But I was wrong. Seriously though, I chose that because we had lost the other two or three. I thought we would not be swept. I would’ve been right if we just hold onto the ball. I didn’t overpower us like a swept series could be.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Jazz lose tonight because of being tired for yesterday‘s game and the fact that I’m going. I don’t have a good recent history.

No, I don’t know the exact win loss record for games that I’ve gone to and don’t count on me for a game day thread.

But I might come on and say something about the game or message you. The first NBA game for my nephew. So maybe he could have a 1-0 record?

Non-Standard Prediction: Will Dirk Nowitzki pass Wilt Chamberlain in points?

Currently: Wilt - 31,419
Dirk Nowitski - 31,298

26 games left.

4.69 PPG needed.
Averages 4.44 in 10.8 minutes per game.

At this pace, he will be 6 points short.

Update: he is 91 points away and 23 games to go. 3.96 PPG needed.

I swear I’m not copying you... but I did avoid second guessing your bold pick because I am too confident in the Suns. Like I was the Nets.

 

[nuraman00]

Was there any reason for you to pick New Orleans, other than the fact that they were at home?

I don't like making close picks by picking a team because they have home court.

I might have done that this time, though.
