I've read the posts. I understand where so SIM is coming from in asking the questions he asked. Here's what we all have to consider.
I, like many of you, have placed bets on NBA's picks. I will continue to do so. I have also had many nights where I capped my games, posted my plays and then checked out other plays by posters like NBA, the Addict, Hudson, Stock, RIQ, BP, Rube, Thunder, Arrow, etc. Let me give all of you some advice.
Cap your own games. Sit down, study the trends, look at the matchups, consider the venue, come up with YOUR NUMBER! Have your card in front of you with "your plays", ranked in order of your most liked plays down to the ones you aren't so sure about.
If you want to look at another poster's plays before you place your bets then fine. But you have to be willing to accept the fact that your thoughts will be different than others.
We all have ups and downs and there will be nights when the well respected like NBA, Thunder, Addict and all the others have bad nights. They can cap with the best of em, but the bottom line is UCONN has to shoot their percentages, not turn it over and stay out of foul trouble to cover the spread. All things that are out of NBA's or anyone's control.
Sorry for the rant, here's my picks and my logic behind them for today.
UCONN -2 (Lamb will run the show and lead the Huskies through an incredible March that I believe takes them deep into the tournament. Also love UCONN's offensive rebounding effort)
Georgetown -5 (Pitt will be worn down midway through the 2nd half which will make a close game become a 7-10 point Hoya win)
Oklahoma -1.5.....5*(Speed and Athleticism prevail. Sooners by 6+)
UTEP -3.5 (they played Memphis in the FedEx forum 3 weeks ago and came back from 15 down to win the game. I sat in attendance and watched a team, Coached by Tim Floyd might I add, that never backed down or gave up. Look for Cedric Lang to be more of a presence than expected)
