    Not off to a good start post-break.

    Boston hung with Brooklyn the whole way, but collapsed at the end, as Kyrie just destroyed his former team.

    Trash time will determine whether or not my Heat pick (up 10 with 57s left) wins.

    Yep. Screwed in trash time as Butler misses a free throw and the Heat hold the ball after the Magic give it up with 22s left. 111-103, and I lose by 1.

    I ended up going 5-5-1 today so lost just under half a unit with the juice. stuck just under 1.5 units total with the 1q under after all star break strat. Going to try it again tomorrow for the last four games involving teams that haven't played since the break (Lakers, Grizzlies, Jazz, and Cavs).

    A unit is whatever you want it to be.

    I bet the same amount on every game. If I win a -110 spread pick, I win 0.91 units. If I win a +125 moneyline, I win 1.25 units. Any pick I lose is exactly -1 units.

    It's a fair way to publicly keep track of how good my picks really are.

    Golf is just heart breaking. DJ played the first nine in 4 under. Of course the announcer’s jinxed him a million times. Then PGA Tour live missed his double on 7 when he drove it in the water. It did look like he was about to go into God mode to be honest. It is just so fucking tough right now. GL everyone. Getting second dose of the vaccine late today so I’m just going to let everything play out. Shit is just so stressful.

    UNC +3, underrated team that was not strong to start the year. Do not forget how FSU collapsed against UNC a few weekends ago. Was very sad to see!

    BTW the Jazz are a 19 point favorite tonight over the Rockets.

    That may be the biggest NBA favorite I've ever seen.

    Only made one pick today, partially because I've been cold, and partially because there wasn't much I liked today.

    But I did like this Memphis game, and for the first 1.5 quarters, it looked like I was right. At halftime, it was still 55-53 Memphis.

    They've been horrendous in the 3rd, and are 10 down. They've scored 14 points in 10.3 minutes. Not good.

    I can't figure out Denver. Any game I bet involving them, I lose.

    Well, Denver has scored zero point zero in the first 3 1/2 minutes of the 4th, plus didn't score at the end of the 3rd. Even though Memphis is also shooting like crap, they've gone from 12 down to 1 down.

    Now 3 down as I type this.

    Well, Denver rained down a ton of 3s at the end, but somehow the Grizz are still in this, and it's down to the final shot.

    Grizz ball, 6.3s left, 103-102 Denver.

    Come on... let me have one of these for once.

    4-5 today -1.25 units
    Blind under after all star break ended up breaking even. And my game totals were off. My instinct on Lakers was right (probably should have bet game there) And heat are continuing in their winning ways. Back to normal picks tomorrow. May continue experimenting with quarters but going to analyze more. Also need some recalibration of the auto over fires.

    Hoping simp comes back with some hockey picks soon so I can add some more action.

    A +162 dog isn't the best way out of a 5-game losing streak, but I'll do it anyway.

    Two banged-up lineups today in the morning game.

    NY is without Rose, Robinson, Rivers, and perhaps Payton and Quickley. OKC is without Alexander, Bazley, and Hill.

    It's going to be a shitshow. I'm taking the Thunder and hoping Payton/Quickley either don't play, or are limited.

    OKC +162 vs. New York
