At the time the pick-em was posted, I was blithely pushing my truck at about 80 mph on MA Rte 3 southbound near the interchange with Rte 128 (sorry, it's now I-95, but not to those of us who have lived here longer than 40 years) on my way to the Celtics vs Portland game. Please don't tell the MA State Police about this. The speed limit on Rte 3 is 55 mph. Of course, if you hold to 55, you place yourself in imminent danger of being destroyed by people like me. Met up with my son, enjoyed a few beers with him, really enjoyed the game, and now I'm trying to shake the effects of a nasty head cold. I don't regret missing out on last night's picks. I would have missed on the Thunder vs Clippers. I would have picked San Antonio, but most likely would have missed the spread. Oh well, let's see what we can do with the rest of the week.

Shit sandwich, I missed the Spurs game. It's been (and will continue to be) a long, fraught week.

Uh-oh for any of you Thunder fans out there. The seems to be in somewhat of a tailspin right now. 4-6 in their last 10 games with a couple of high profile choke jobs. And the Spurs are keeping pace with the Warriors. If this keeps up through the rest of the regular season, I have to say that I am really looking forward to a possible playoff meeting between these two teams. The last time I said something like that was back in the Bad Boys days.

Howard_T wins the week and expands his lead. I nail the slam dunk. Houston makes us all look bad.
Rules
Pick the winner and spread for each game. Score 5 points if the team wins, 3 more points if your spread is close and another 2 if you hit the spread exactly.
At your option, make one game a slam dunk to triple your score in victory or lose 5 points in defeat.
Read the detailed rules on the first week's post.
If SportsFilter is down and you need to submit your picks, you can send them in email to me.
This Week's Games
Eight games this week. Golden State's on a six-game winning streak and has won 9 of 10, so the Thunder and woeful Lakers have their work cut out for them. Tonight's Oklahoma City/L.A. Clippers game looks like a good 'un. Cleveland hosts Washington. Is it weird LeBron only gets one national game?
