here's my thoughts: we are a small, good group of 25 adults who are having fun with this Contest, we've kinda made the Cuts and rules up as we go trying to find our way with honesty, integrity and fun being the guiding principles. We certainly don't want to lose a player like Funk b/c he was 3-4 plays short due to his discipline, which I think is great. Conversely, if people only posted a play every 10 days then I doubt we'd have the same thread, it's a balance. I like the idea of 53% and above move on after April 13th. I'm not opposed to having all 25 players chime in and allow Funk to continue if he falls short of the minimum 10 plays either. The excitement and fun is in some guys/gals like to play a game everyday and some don't, that's ok cause we are all in the same boat. Now I'ma drink a lil and come up with my streak buster on the Blazer game.
I agree Wagers. I like this thought process. Everyone who reached the last cut was sitting around 52%. I more than happy for everyone who made the final cut to continue for the rest of the season because really, we are all here to tail and make some coin. It doesn't take me long to update the standings either when there are only 25 people in the contest.

The rules are rules and I will stick with them without any exception. I will just coin toss some picks till end of the season and will hope I will go 50:50 in the next six games. That's it... betting in April is bad and winning now for me is more luck than any capping skills.

The Celtics are sitting in 5th right now in the East. Even with Heat and Hornets. Heat play Kings tomorrow with no Boogie. Expect Heat to bounce back. Hornets play 76ers tomorrow, expect a big win there. Celtics head to GSW tomorrow to face the Warriors which we all know 1-1000 teams win in Oracle. If the Celtics lose 2 straight, they will end up in 6th and possibly 7th if the Pistons win their next 2 as well. Blazers in 6th in the West, ahead of Rockets, Mavs and Jazz.
The Celtics remaining games are the following
@ Blazers
@ Warriors (B2B)
@ Lakers
vs Pelicans
vs Bucks
@ Hawks
vs Hornets
vs Heat.
Some very winnable games there against Lakers and Pelicans. They should take care of Bucks as well at home but then their final 3 games are very tough against all play off teams
Blazers have the following
vs Celtics
vs Heat
@ Warriors
vs Kings
vs Thunder
vs Wolves
vs Nuggets
Easy schedule if you ask me. Catching the Heat on the end of a road trip, obviously Warriors is a hard game. They should take care of Kings, Wolves and Nuggets as all these games are at home. Thunder might not even show up either if they are comfortable in 3rd and may rest RW or KD.
I expect Brad Stevens and his men to fire up for this contest. They did beat them last time in Boston but Blazers were on B2B that day.
I just think Thomas/Bradley vs McCollum/Lillard is going to be a great contest but the bench will be the difference IMHO in this game. Celtics bench is awesome compared to Blazers.
No play from me yet because I am hoping for a better line..
GL what you decide amigo

Plenty of time to get back on it Wagers..
Whats your thoughts about Celtics @ Trailblazers?
This is mine..
My lean, Celtics but only if Crowder is playing.

jeezus Oz that's like some solid info there mate...I gotta have another drink and the play will magically materialize to me, I love unders and get burned taking overs like a dummy but man this feels like a shoot em up to me, Blazers defense is so porous and somehow they held 2 of last 3 opponents under 100 which is a miracle..I played Clips TT under 97 just now to get the juices flowin and hope to hammer a winning play in that Blazers game soon, good luck

Playoff picture in the east getting interesting. Pacers lose. Bulls win @ Houston(who saw that coming). Detroit plays Dallas friday and play the Bulls Saturday.
SDQL heaven OZ, Pistons on a b2b vs Bulls in a HUGE game for both clubs.

Take a few secs and read the 4th Q play by play on Rockets game from around the 6 min mark. What a joke of a team, seriously. As a Houstonian, I'd rather not have a team.

Will update standings once the games are done today

I'm on Boston ML+140. The celtics 3ball defense is good and that is the Blazers strength. Live dog here imo.

I'd like to thank the Academy, all the players and coaches, of course my best internet friend Oz, my parents who struggled with 2 jobs to get me here, Lionel Richie and my beautiful wife and precious baby boy for this win!
