    It really pained me to bet Atlanta as a favorite, but here I am.

    Fucking Dallas has neither Doncic nor Porzingis, and they're still up by 11 early on.

    The Hawks are really terrible.

    Big finish in Hawks game.

    9 points down after 3, they come back and are circling around tied for final 5 min.

    When it's 109-107 Hawks, Trae Young goes for a layup, Dallas defender appears to goaltend, but John Collins tips it in anyway as a simultaneous whistle blows for the goaltending.

    Review shows it was NOT a goaltend, but that Collins was in the act of shooting on the putback during the whistle, so basket still counts. Up 4 with 8 seconds.

    Had to fade a 3-point attempt by Hardaway at the 2 second mark (I had -1.5), but it bricked, and offensive rebound didn't see a shot and clock ran out.

    Weird stuff.

    4th win in a row for me since the break.

    Well, my 4-game streak is over. A bad 2nd and 3rd quarter sunk my bet, which actually still came fairly close to covering. Too bad, because there were only 47 points in the 1st.

    Well, time to be a public favorite-monkey.

    Portland -6 vs. Detroit

    Keep in mind Lillard is still out.

    2-2 on those XFL overs. That New York team is utter dogshit.

    looks like the book is starting to adjust to team performance. 38.5 now for Sea/STL, and 50 for Hou/Dal coming up.

    This one really sucked. Portland came back from being down 10, and took a late lead. They had a fast break which would have put them in great position to cover with less than a minute remaining (thanks to fouling), and they screwed it up and lost the ball.

    Then I had another chance to tie when they had 2 free throws coming, up 4, with less than 10 remaining. McCollum bricked one, then they gave up a three, and the game ended up with Portland up by two. They had so many chances to put a shitty Detroit team away and couldn't do it, and it came down to a last-possession for Detroit, who of course I hoped would tie it and send to OT.

    No picks today, as there's nothing I like.

    Before we proceed any further we’re gonna ask you to grade this


    I think you’ve run good lately.

    That's fair sal. That was a rough night although the Texas plus money saved it from being a total disaster. College picks won but each NBA pick lost. Kansas covered big and Texas held on to a big home win vs a ranked team. In total was stuck 1.5 units after the final grade.
    Heat were up 19 points going into the fourth quarter but get outscored by that exact amount. Bucks kept pace beating spread but lost that in 4q to also go to ot. The over under picks were my mates that I went with, (hence the degen Monday disclaimer), and were a complete fail, grizzlies only score 14 to clippers 40 in 1q. Suns kept over pave the whole game and didn't come close.

    Looking to get back on track tonight. Gl all

    Washington under covering for sure unless OT.

    NY over has tortured me all game, making it look like it's covering and then going through droughts where it looks like it's a loser. Pretty much need the last-minute fouling BS or OT to make this one, despite it being 207. Needed 47 points in the 4th to tie and can't even get that. Joke.

    Shout out to the Knicks for not giving up and repeatedly fouling until the total artificially drove itself over 207 with 5 seconds remaining.



    Now just gotta fade this 108-106 4th quarter with 8 seconds with the Wizards and I go 2-0.

    Got 'em both. Nice to get a close "cheap" win for once. Usually those fall the other way for me.

    Broke 3-game losing streak after 4-game winning streak.
