Hey there guys,
Today's post is going to be short and sweet as I have a lot of work to do today and did not get off work till late. And when I did get off I came back and passed out. Oh well, what can you do. Anyway yesterday was actually a pretty good day for my picks as I went 5-1 as Alabama took out Auburn 10-5, Kentucky took one from Arkansas on the road 12-8, Ole Miss defeated Tennessee in game 1 7-3, Florida won a tight one 3-2 over Vanderbilt, South Carolina coasted to a 10-2 over Mississippi State, and LSU barely got by Georgia 4-3 as Anthony Ranaudo only lasted 3 innings in his 2010 debut, and in the NBA I went 8-2 (4-6 ats) as the Heat upset the Pacers in overtime 105-96 as Dwayne Wade dropped 43 points, Manu Ginobli also had 43 points as he lead the Spurs past the Magic, the Warriors took out the Knicks by 11 despite C David Lee's outstanding game, where he would post a TRIPLE DOUBLE (37 points 20 rebounds 10 assists). Monster Game no? And in the finale the Lakers took out the Jazz 107-96 despite Utah's stars both having double double's, Carlos Boozer 20 points 18 rebounds and Deron Williams 20 points 10 assists. Big wins for the Spurs and Lakers as they were both reeling as of late but got big wins over good teams. The Bulls and the Grizzlies also helped themselves by keeping their playoff hopes alive with wins over the Wizards and Hornets, respectively. In the NHL I went 3-4, not as good as the other 2 but as bad as I have been doing this wasn't AS bad, anyway, Chicago got a huge win over New Jersey with a 2-1 Shoot Out win, the Canadiens got a HUGE win towards the playoffs as they rode goalie Jaroslav Halak's 35 save shutout of the Flyers and left with a 1-0 win, the Rangers did the same behind their goalie, Henrik Lundqvist, and his 30 save shutout of the Lightning, as the Rangers won 5-0, tying with the Thrashers for 9th place in the Eastern Conference standings and now both of them are 2 points away from that 8th spot, and then Michael Grabner's hat trick helped the Canucks take out the Ducks 5-4 on the road ans secured them a playoff spot. Today there are some great games as NCAA Tournament picks back up as the Final Four is today with Michigan State playing Butler in a battle of #5 seeds, and West Virginia plays Duke as two of the best Head Coaches in today's game, WVU's Bob Huggins and Duke's Mike Kzyzewski match wits. That's not all as Baseball heads into day 2 of the weekend series, and then in the NBA as Chris Bosh and Toronto try to hold onto their current 8th spot in the Eastern Conference as they head to the 76ers, Charlotte heads to Chicago in a big game for both, Kevin Durant takes on Dirk Nowitzki as the Thunder head to Dallas to take on the Mavericks, and Amare Stoudemire takes on Andrew Bogut in a big game as the Suns take on the Bucks in Milwaukee, and in the NHL there are also some great games as Atlanta tries to tie for that aforementioned 8th playoff spot in the Eastern conference as they hit the road to take on Sidney Crosby and the Penguins, Division Rivals battle for playoff positioning as the Predators head up North to take on the Red Wings, Montreal tries to take another huge step towards securing a playoff spot as they host Ryan Miller and the Buffalo Sabres, and then the Rangers, like the Thrashers, will be going for a tie for that 8th spot in the Eastern Conference as they travel South to play Florida. Should be a huge day in the NHL. Hope you guys enjoy.
