NBA Picks for Thurs, Jan. 18
First off, the streak is over! I am no longer on fire! It's time to get back to business! Second, I got screwed again as usual in the final 10 seconds of a game (whatever?!!!; I yelled out about 35-40 F-Bombs at the TV in less than a minute; yes, just about every other word that came out of my mouth started with the letter F; I'm over it now!; I've started to get satisfaction out of winning many games fairly easy and losing few games badly ). Third, I'm mostly pissed off because that game counts as a GOM loss (that's bullshit to me!). I obviously post early because of my crazy schedule, but who in the hell can predict a trade? You guys all know how I feel about the injury/suspension/trade factor: Play on the team that is being affected by the circumstance. Sure I had the better line of -6.5 (never would have played that at -9.5 or -10), but I would have considered going the other way due to the trade. I was very busy working the entire day (did not get home until after 11) and was not even aware of the trade until after 7. I turned on the game to see the Clips up 23, and then watched them play with no emotion, enthusiasm, excitement, nada, nothing for the rest of the game; and of course, everything that could go wrong did go wrong! As I was watching the fourth, I had that eerie feeling that I was going to lose the game on the final possession! Now, after all the rambling, who wants another GOM?! Shall I find another gem this month?! We were set up perfect for that GOM play last night, and now the owners are trying to screw JDELT88 with trades! The books can't stop the PO, so they go to the owners! Well, I say we punish them for it! Hopefully, we get a depleted Pacers squad on the floor today, and then we roll with Indiana to start a new run of W's! GL!
