National Signing Day is so close...
I have an irrational love of recruiting and potential (see here) and NSD is merely days away. While ND isn’t going to have the world destroying class of say a Florida or Texas(seriously, 8 of the top 10 including all of the top 5 in Texas, the best state for recruiting?? F me), but Weis built up a hell of a class before leaving. While there has been some attrition (miss u Chris Martin)...

Today’s Pick: Miami Heat (+4) @ Milwaukee Bucks ***
Another day where no lines really jump out at me. I thought about PDX +8.5, but w/o Brandon Roy I got scared. Not sure if I’ve ever gone back to back days with the same team, but let’s get crazy. Heat curbstomped Detroit last night, and DWade gets to go back to his old stomping grounds from his college days. I’m down

The Brooklyn Cyclones to have a Jersey Shore... →
matt-t:
On Wednesday, July 21, the Brooklyn Cyclones will be hosting “Jersey? Sure!” Night – paying homage to a pop-culture phenomenon and giving away limited-edition collectible jerseys. The high-quality mesh jersey will feature the Cyclones logo on the front and a picture of the team’s mascot, Sandy the Seagull, in a fist-pumping pose on the back, with the words “Jersey? Sure!” at the top. The...

Today’s Pick: Miami Heat (-2) @ Detroit Pistons ***
A decent amount of games today, but none of the lines really jump out at me. The Pistons have 3 guys listed as DTD for the game tonight, and I dont think they can shut down Wade. We shall see. Some interesting games around the league tonight though. Denver (+2) @ OKC really intrigues me, could be a great game. Should make for a shootout...
Notre Dame down 1 to Villanova at the Half!

I bet we lose by 15.
If we were up 8 right now I’d agree. Irish are playing strong and it’s not like we are shooting the lights out that will fall like against WVU (only at 44% now).
18 points.
I was close, my B.
Haha, you were dead on. Good Lord that 2nd half was pathetic.

So there’s my rundown of all of tonight’s lines. So why did I pick Lakers v Pacers for my pick? Well, the Lakers are coming off a...

Sorry guys. Through the grapevine, it all got back to my mom’s boyfriend and now he’s threatening to go to the police. Life=fucked. Thanks to those of you who made this a great experience. Fuck those of you who took it off the Internet and made it a part of real life.
Some of you know how to reach me. Keep in touch. I’m out, and, consequently, going off the grid for a while.

Today’s Pick: Phoenix Suns (-6) vs Charlotte Bobcats ***
I’m heading to the Bucks Mavs game w/ my buddy Ryan (@ndtex) so I won’t see the other games tonight. However, I’m gonna keep going against Charlotte while they are on the road. Let’s see if PHX can’t get it together for a night.

Today’s Pick: Cleveland Cavs (-1) @ Miami Heat ****
I’m essentially just riding the hot hand. LeBron and the Cavs have been on a pretty sick tear as of late. LeBron is just in beast mode so I’m gonna go with him.
Last pick (1/21): LA Lakers +3 @ Cleveland Cavs ***
Result: 93-87 Cavs, Loss

This could end poorly...
Boxing is something I’ve always been interested in, but as a short fat kid, I didn’t really want to sign my death warrant by having to fight against guys who are around 6’1. Well one of my buddies in law school is an amateur boxing champ (won a gold gloves tourney back in the day) and has agreed to work me out and give me some pointers. I don’t plan on ever really fighting,...

I may be a huge loser...
But holy shit the Star Trek movie is so good. Just watched it again, post bar, on Blu Ray, and it it awesome. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong. I know I’m not, I’m just a huge f’ing nerd, but whatever, it’s greatness

Today’s Pick: LA Lakers +3 @ Cleveland Cavs ***
Only two games on the slate for Thursday’ TNT broadcast. The Nuggets spread was just too big for me (10, even though I think they cover) so we go to the big matchup. Last time these two met it was Christmas day, and man it was a beatdown. The Cavs absolutely whooped the Lakers and sent the LA crowd into a foam finger throwing frenzy. If...

Today’s pick: Miami Heat (-6.5) vs Indiana Pacers **
Only two games on the slate today, and I hate double digit spreads so the Cavs game was out. While the two have the same record over the last 10, out of 20 road games this year, the Pacers have only won 4. Miami has had a few off since their last game which was an ugly loss to the Thunder. I expect a bounce back here against a Pacers team that...

I’m woefully behind in watching The Basketball Jones, so I decided today to cut my losses and start fresh with their 500th episode celebration. I’m glad I did.
Without exaggeration, TBJ is the reason I have more than a passing interest in the NBA for the first time since the late 1990s. It’s such a well done, enjoyable show made by fans (in the best sense of the...

nbaoffseason:
Nate Robinson will defend his slam dunk title against Charlotte Bobcat Gerald Wallace and the high flying Shannon Brown and the winner of the Eric Gordon/DeMar DeRozan dunk in on Saturday, February 13th.
This should be a good matchup. I’ve got DeMar over Gordon in the dunk-in for the real show. However, and this can not be said enough: FUCK YOU LEBRON YOU COCKTEASING,...

Today’s Pick: San Antonio Spurs (-0) @ NO Hornets ****
Early game due to MLK day (2:30 Central). It’s been awhile since I’ve gone homer for a book it. The Hornets have been playing good ball lately, 8-2 in their last 10. But the Spurs need to break out of their mini slump as of late as they’ve lost their last 2. Pop has recently began resting Tim on the 2nd end of back to...

Today’s pick: Denver Nuggets -7 vs Utah Jazz **
Jazz had a high pace game last night, and the Nuggets are the better team. This line is a little bigger than I’d really like, but I’ll trust Melo to cover for me. Plus, today only had 2 games on the slate and the 1st was early, so here you go.

Today’s Pick: Sacramento Kings (-1.5) @ Washington Wizards ***
There are a lot of games on the slate today that tempt me ( I also like PHX+2.5@CHA, NO+2.5@IND, and SA +1 @ MEM) but I went with this game for a few reasons. Both teams have been on a slide, each are 2-8 in their last 10, while Washington is in the midst of a 4 game losing streak. While both are in a bad way and are missing key...
