Previous Day Summary: I managed to hit my parlay last night and that definitely helped the positive day net. Usually a 4-1-1 day is a grateful thank you very much but last night had two terrible buzzer beaters. The Blazers pick (in which I took the lost) had a terrible ending. The Knicks were down 10 with about 20 seconds left and missed 2 threes but somehow got a steal from Steve Blake when he threw a rebound he chased down on the sideline. I watched the game online and I thought it was over when he chased it down but his momentum lead him out of bounds so he had to throw it over his head back towards the Knicks' basket. Unfortunately, that's where David Lee stood. I was still good until Mr. Lee decided to throw the ball back out to Roberson for a buzzer beater that hit nothing but nylon. Thank you for donating $10 to the Bodog Fund. However, I can't be too mad at this pick because I did say that the Knicks were gonna get blown out. So ah whatever.

As if that wasn't bad enough, earlier in the night I took the Lakers' first half line just because I needed something to watch at work hah. The Lakers were up by 7 after a basketball before halftime with about two seconds and change left on the clock. That's when one of the Pacers' threw a long pass that I thought was gonna get intercepted but instead landed in Danny Granger's hands for a fadeaway jumper to tie the spread. Sweet.

And for tonight: there are some ugly lines and nothing really jumps out as good but I'm gonna just bet anyway. I like the Lakers to come back strong and put this one away early. Second, I like the Clippers to lose again but to cover the spread. They've been good against the spread in at least their last 3 games so I'm rolling with the streak. And lastly, I got the young Blazers blowing out the Wizards in which they're not suppose to on back-to-back roadies. Roy!
