Carnage is a word that is woefully inadequate to describe my results from last week. I'm almost afraid to continue with the picking. I'll continue while being ready to scream as I check the scores.
Tuesday, Mar 27:
Cleveland by 8
Los Angeles (San Diego transfer variety) by 12
Wednesday, Mar 28:
Utah by 9
(Picking against the Celtics has been hazardous to my standings.)
Thursday, Mar 29:
Oklahoma City by 3
Milwaukee by 6
(Because Golden State is on cruise control while nursing injuries)
Friday, Mar 30:
Cleveland by 12
Portland by 10
Sunday, Apr 1:
Houston by 14
