Random Updates

  • 0-2 in my last NBA picks - I’m now 38-37-4 (51%).
  • My bracket is completely busted.  I only had Carolina advance to the Final Four.  So much for upsets… four #1 seeds in the Final Four.
  • I’m irritated with my cash game play and continue a down turn.  I want to take a break from the $0.25/$0.50 NL game but I don’t want to lose my Iron Man status. 
  • The Phillies lost.  It was wall-to-wall baseball on Monday as I watched all or part of 7 games.  I’m thoroughly enjoyed the Braves 2 losses even if one of them was at the expense of one of my fantasy team pitchers.

Other than that, nothing new.

A Quick Update And Some Random Comments

I went 1-2 in the NBA last night and am now 37-34-4 (52.1%).  My poker has slightly improved recently with a final table in a Razz tourney on Full Tilt that gave me my first BAS cash in 3 attempts and need one more in my last 3 attempts to be profitable.  I also cashed in both LAPT events on Saturday with a 3rd in the Heads Up and 2nd in the Ultimate Cash Game.

The Sixers looked great again in AI’s return to Philly with the Nuggets.  They took down Iverson’s squad on an emotional night for Iverson and now the Sixers are 16-4 in their last 20 and only the Rockets have been better.  It’s ironic the Nuggets are on the outside looking in when it comes to the playoffs because they are in the West and the Sixers are in 6th in the East since the Nuggets are 6 wins better than the Sixers.  I hope the Nuggets can bounce back and slide into the playoffs.

Speaking of sliding, after 22 wins in a row, the Rockets have lost 2 in a row and fallen to 3rd in the West.  A few more losses and they won’t even have a first round home court advantage.

Is everyone going to end up in nude pics or videos on the ‘net at some point.  This week’s nude ‘net stars: Kristin Davis from "Sex & The City" and Audrina for the fake-reality show "The Hills.  You know you want to look… here’s Kristin (she denies they are her) and here’s Audrina (she sent them to Playboy when she was 19).

Just watched "48 Hrs" with Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte.  I doubt this movie would fly today.  Nolte throws around the N-word and degrading racial remarks throughout this movie.  It’s amazing it flew then and it definitely wouldn’t fly now.

People who get too much attention: Al Sharpton and Ashley Alexandra Dupre… enough said for me.

The NCAA tourney starts in about 8 hours.  My Final Four: Carolina, Texas, Wisconsin and Xavier.  I love Carolina to take it down.  Go Heels!
