-NoQuarter- 01-11-2006, 11:04 AM Didn't realize TJ was out again. I'm changing my pick on that one and none of you can stop me.
Yes, I realize nobody actually cares or would try to stop me...
theMUHMEshow 01-11-2006, 11:15 AM Ivo will blow up on the Bucks...He always does. Plus he really wants that scoring title this year. I am guessing 45+
-NoQuarter- 01-11-2006, 11:21 AM Ivo will blow up on the Bucks...He always does. Plus he really wants that scoring title this year. I am guessing 45+
That would be AMAZING!

Glenn 01-11-2006, 11:21 AM My picks.
Maybe we should use the spread for these from now on? (for entertainment purposes only, of course)
Milwaukee @ Indiana
Utah @ Philly (only if CWebb doesn't play, if he does, I go Philly)
Atl @ Wash
Charlotte @ Toronto LOCK OF THE NIGHT!!
Dallas @ NY
Chitown @ Minny
Sac @ Houston
Lakers @ Portland
Orl @ Seattle
Mia @ Golden State
Fool's Gold, Upset Special
Dallas @ NY
Glenn 01-11-2006, 11:46 AM I thought about that too, but Dallas is too good IMO.
LB's finally got the NYK balling, for sure.
Daniels is out which means one of the NYK guards will go off. LB's team has been wining with O (incredibly enough) against poor defensive teams (for the most part, Seattle / Washington) so this is definately a perspective game.
Varsity 01-11-2006, 04:19 PM Milwaukee @ Indiana--Bucks three guard rotation proves to be too much.
Utah @ Philly-- This is a tough one, Utah is playing good ball right now, but in the end I think it's too much Ivy and too quick of a pace.
Atl @ Wash--Arenas goes off puhleeesebelieveit
Charlotte @ Toronto Paul shoots like crap and Toronto pulls it out at home.
Dallas @ NY-- NY is playing well, but not THAT well.
Chitown @ Minny-- When in doubt, bet on the Central
Sac @ Houston-- This promises to be a bad game, but Bibby will play well.
Lakers @ Portland-- Lakers, Kobe with 35+
Orl @ Seattle--Ray and Shard will them to victory, while they give up 137 points
Mia @ Golden State--GS is tough at home
theMUHMEshow 01-11-2006, 08:10 PM Ivo has 25 at half...lol...this guy is amazing
Darth Thanatos 01-11-2006, 08:29 PM And some people here think Gary Payton is better.
-NoQuarter- 01-11-2006, 10:24 PM NY: 116
DALLAS: 112
11 seconds left in overtime.
-NoQuarter- 01-11-2006, 10:29 PM Knicks beat Dallas, 117-115. Wow.
Darth Thanatos 01-12-2006, 12:16 AM The Knicks might actually be pretty good. :lol:

-NoQuarter- 01-12-2006, 01:34 AM 4/10
I was way off. Ouch.
Pharaoh 01-12-2006, 01:54 AM 7 out of 10.
Glenn 01-12-2006, 08:59 AM 10 out of 10
Ok, I was really 7 out of 10, but I would have had 8 if I didn't throw in that stupid Webber disclaimer.
Plus, I got the Toronto LOCK OF THE NIGHT correct.
Daniels is out which means one of the NYK guards will go off. LB's team has been wining with O (incredibly enough) against poor defensive teams (for the most part, Seattle / Washington) so this is definately a perspective game.
I agree with Fool.
Los Angeles got as close as 89-83 with 10:49 to go. However, the Lakers could not get stops and were plagued by poor shooting down the stretch. Bryant made just 3-of-11 shots in the fourth quarter, including 1-of-6 from the arc. His teammates did not fare much better as the Lakers sank only 8-of-21 shots in the final period.
If Kobe made 3-11 (27%) and the Laker team made 8-21 (38%). Then the Lakers minus Kobe shot 5-10. I don't know, 50% sounds like a pretty good number to me.
