So last night was unreal
Utah loses 10% game against Minnesota (Ha)
Washington loses by 26 against Yao less Rockets
Miami wins first game in Feb by 20
Clev loses to Milwaukee on the road
Kobe (averaging 39 points against Portland), leads his Lakers to a 16 point first half and misses over by 30
Luckily i hit some poker hands to make up for my losses.
I recovered some what with the under on Duke/GT (163!!) tonight
Poker is frustrating. Two nights in a row now a low stack has checked raised me preflop with AA when I have AK and there is about half of his stack already in the pot. Anything but against AA its a good call.
Hopefully I can hit some hands and get ready for the weekend.
"You know your playing low limit" hand of the night:
UTG +1 raises 3bb, button calls, I call 97h (BB). Flop comes 6h4h5c, i check, UTG bets pot, button calls, I come over top, UTG without hesitating calls with 88. I strike out. First message from UTG +1, "wtf are you stupid?", i and the rest of the table eat him up, flaming continues until he looks it up and realizes he's a 55/45 dog. 79H seems to be a shit hand for me. Last time I straight up stacked off in AC was against my friend in almost the exact same fashion except he had a set.

Oscars
- Could "There Will Be Blood" be the best movie ever, or at least for my generation? I think maybe. Ranked against my top 3:
1) Godfather or (II), both epics, Daniel Day Lewis' performance was on par with Michael Corleone in II, more creative risks in the TWBB than either of the two in terms of adapting a screenplay, both movies perfectly shot, Godfather has more cultish appeal. Verdict: TWBB for being riskier
2) Departed. Nearly perfect movie. Only problem is it was adapted part and parcel from that Hong Kong movie (cop something?). TWBB gets edge since it was original to say the least.
3) Shawshank. Hmm. Totally different movies. Shawshank definitely feels better at the end. Although again, it was adapted almost wholly from Steven Kings book. Low on the creative risk scale. And although Red might be the best supporting actor in history, DDL was on screen for 2 hours straight.
Other thoughts
-Gene Simmons is a douchebag. Seriously. At least Flav knows he is an entertainer.
-Check out Terrell Pryor face fucking some poor white kid while dunking. Snap.
-I will no longer watch Celebrity Rehab Jeff Conway-less. If I had the money, I would be calling him right now to produce "Life with Jeff", where he would be put in a large house with lots of drugs, and then intermittently other people would take his drugs from him and then just generally fuck with him (loud music, knocking him of his wheelchair, flicking his ear, gf would blow me in front of him), that type of thing.

2/26
Only concerned w/ NBA here. Went 4 for 4 tonight. We'll count units and see where it goes. Using bodog. Start w/ 10 unit pool
2/25 - 2 units - Results
1 unit, Parlay: Boston ML over Clips (-500), Dallas ML over CHI (-370), Tor ML over Ind (-160)
Pays (@+125)
Outcome: Win, 2.25 units
1 unit, Det +1 (would have take ML if it was offered, damn Bodog) over Den
Pays (-105)
Outcome: Win, 1.95 units
Total pool: 12.2 units
Picks for 2/26
Wizards +12.5 at Houston, one unit. Wizards have covered the last four out of five against the spread against solid opponents away (Hornets at home last night, lost by 3 with a +10.5 spread), even with an iffy Butler. People forget its the same team that made a fairly emotional and effective run last year in the Eastern Conference playoffs.I don't think they'll win, but they should cover so long as Haywood (another underrated Wizard) can keep Yao down.
Cavs -3 at MLW, one unit. Cavs have covered at least 70% of their Feb starts. I don't think the team changed as dramatically as people talk after the trade. Remember who beat the Pistons last year? It wasn't Larry Hughes. Milwaukee is just playing not to get hurt at this point. A loss to Cleveland is forseeable and essentially forgivable at this point.
Sac -2 at Miami, one unit. Miami sucks.
Utah (-7.5) at Min. two units. I know its another road game, anything can happen, blah blah blah. Utah still won 90% of there last 20 some games, Min is hurting (11-43)(.205). I'd buy points up to +13 if I could.
Possibles:
Orlando (-4.5) at NJ. I see it as maybe a trap game, but who is going to deal with D.H?
Update 4:35, 2/26/08: Yao is out, Was dropped to 10/5, prob will go down to 9 before tip off. Yippee
