Mike’s Twitter: @MOConnor_NBA Mike’s Year to Date Record: 12-6 A 5-1 record last week was just what the doctor ordered. We’re now firmly in the black on the season, and I don’t plan on turning back. Two more buckets from Giannis Antetokounmpo would’ve given me a 6-0 clean sweep, but let’s not get greedy. Here...
Zach’s Twitter: @ZachSelwyn1 When the Portland Trail Blazers announced the hiring of former NBA All-Star Chauncey Billups as their new head coach to a 5-year deal over the weekend, it made things in the Pacific Northwest VERY interesting… Not because the Trail Blazers are going to build some dynasty around the extremely talented backcourt duo...
Zach’s Twitter: @ZachSelwyn1 When the Phoenix Suns wrapped up their playoff series with a 4-0 sweep of the Denver Nuggets, a lot of people were left wondering how they pulled off such an epic turnaround. Obviously, critics will claim that Jamal Murray’s ACL tear cut the Nuggets’ season short while others will argue that Nikola...
Zach’s Season Record: 109-92 Twitter: @ZachSelwyn1 The first round is officially behind us, and we are cruising in the NBA Playoffs with surprising teams, bad injuries (Harden), and two of the most disappointing things I saw yesterday: the Hawks almost blowing a 20-point lead in the 4th quarter, and how terrible Floyd Mayweather looked fighting...
We’ve all been there. You’re on a heater and can’t seem to get a single bet wrong. You’ve hit on five straight bets, you’re flush with cash, and you start to think that maybe you’ve got this gambling thing figured out. Other bettors will do stupid things like “research” or “watch the games” but you...
Zach’s Twitter: @ZachSelwyn1 When an Aquafina water bottle hurled from the stands nearly collided with Kyrie Irving at the conclusion of Sunday night’s Nets-Celtics game, it quite possibly defined the most negatively aggressive fan week in recent NBA history. The unfortunate interactions began when some moronic Knicks fan at Madison Square Garden spit on Atlanta’s...
Zach’s Season Record: 97-86 Twitter: @ZachSelwyn1 I went an embarrassing 0-4 on Monday. Dammit. WTF happened there, Portland? What game were you playing, Miami? I predicted close, low-scoring games and was met with more blowouts than a New Jersey hair salon post-COVID. Meanwhile, Kristaps hit the strip club in Los Angeles, which means… a 7’3”...
Zach’s Season Record: 97-82 Twitter: @ZachSelwyn1 I will get to 100 wins! I’ve been pushing my bets with back-to-back 2-2 nights to start the amazingly enthralling Play-In Tournament games – because all of these games have been TOUGH to call. I get the winner but lose the under, pick the over, and lose the spread....
Mike’s Twitter: @MOConnor_NBA The NBA playoffs are finally here. The past few weeks of gambling have been fun, but it’s been dominated by betting against tanking teams playing against teams jockeying for playoff position. Now, things get a bit tougher. There are no perverse incentives, and the intensity levels reach their peak. With an exciting...
Zach’s Season Record: 92-75 Twitter: @ZachSelwyn1 Steph Curry helped me win Monday and get to 90 Ws this season like he was anabolic steroids and I was Bob Baffert’s racehorse. Except for what Curry does nightly is actually LEGAL – although some NBA coaches probably don’t see it that way. (Sorry Monty Williams and Phoenix...
