Good morning and happy Hump day! The masses are clamoring, the fans are howling, and the people are shouting. The success of my first sports post cannot be understated. To follow up on greatness is always difficult but I will persevere.
Basketball
The NBA playoffs are here, the first round is over and we got to see who are the pretenders, and who are the contenders. unfortunately for me, the Bucks were pretenders. Unfortunately for all of America, the Warriors look to be contenders. Let’s start with my round 2 matchups to get some insight into the key series.
76ers-Celtics
Two powerhouse franchises, you have the Scions of Brotherly Love vs a bunch of Leprechauns. A tough matchup with a lot of grit. Unfortunately the loss of Joel Embiid give the Celtics a major advantage.
Heat-Knicks
Who would’ve had the Heat going past the first round, what an epic underdog story. Jimmy Buckets showing again how being the biggest dog doesn’t matter so much as having the biggest fight inside. (I know that doesn’t make any sense but I don’t care). I gotta go Buckets on this one, if only because knickerbocker is a dumb word.
Lakers-Warriors
Honestly as much as I hate how star driven the NBA has become, I have to admit that all I or anybody else wants to see is Lebron James taking on Steph Curry year after year. The NBA is at its best when Lebron James is fighting for his life, his teammates MIA, against historic dynasties. We’ve seen this fight before, first with the Spurs, and repeatedly with the Warriors. I love this battle, long live the King. I throw my support behind Lebron once again.
Baseball
Baseball, my sweet mistress. It’s been a tough 2 weeks since my last post and I have to say I have been avoiding this post. The Brew Crew and it’s nation have been dethroned from first place by stupid Pittsburgh, my local Nationals have continued to dwell in Baseball’s basement and Indians still haven’t changed their name back. I don’t want to talk about Baseball anymore, the pain is too much. See my picks below
Let’s Make Some Money
5/4 Blue jays over red sox -1.5
5/5 white Sox vs reds, under 9 runs
5/4 nuggets over suns moneyline
5/6 Miami heat vs knicks over 208.5

Looking good on the Heat and Lakers picks. I really, really hate the Warriors, so hopefully the Lake Show can put ’em in a 3-1 hole tonight. Huge game for both sides.
Sadly the bets didn’t pan out, but that just means you have to post more to get back to being profitable. You’re still undefeated in hockey: do I dare back the Vegas Golden Knights after their Game 2 debacle?
