In case you haven’t heard, the big game of the night and the biggest game of the season for both teams takes place on TNT later this evening when the Suns play the Jazz, where they have had a run of recent success. “The Picker” is staying away from that game as he tries to run his four-day undefeated streak to five (yes, that’s a stretch, as he took two days off and
Another pick from “The Picker”
Two days off did “The Picker” some good. He hit his only play yesterday, when the Sacramento Kings were 4 1/2 point favorites in Charlotte and won by 26. If only they all were that easy. “The Picker” now has a record of 19-17-2, and he is taking it light again tonight and making only a single pick. We also have another visit from Gus Forrest, who went 3-2 yesterday with both his misses coming on
“The Picker” returns, Gus Forrest picks again, too
“The Picker” is back from a two-day timeout after a run of bad picks dropped his record to 18-17-2. Gus Forrest subbed for the past two nights, going 2-1 both nights. Last night he hit the under on Heat-Wizards and Bucks-Nets and made a bad call with the under 189 1/2 on the Pacers-Sixers, which went to overtime and registered a 215. When Gus misses, he misses big. He has agreed to pick again tonight. But

That was a sucker line — 10 point favorites” I have deleted the expletives from the above sentence, which was called in to the home office this afternoon by our gangster guest who is filling in for “The Picker” while he licks his wounds from his 18-17-2 record. That guest picker yesterday was Gus Forrest, who went 2-1 by correctly calling the under in the Oklahoma City-Sacramento game and the over in the Lakers-Spurs
Gus Forrest subs for “The Picker”
Got an e-mail from “The Picker” this morning. He is bummed. “I’m speechless, guess it’s time to take a day off or two and regroup. Cannot catch a break right now. This is as bad as its ever been for me. Its almost hysterical the way games are ending and such that I’m picking right now.” He went 0-2 last night, dropping his record to 18-17-2. Guess he gets the night off. But … We can’t leave y’all hanging, so I turned to the guy who
“The Picker” is challenged by Gus Forrest
Memo to “The Picker.” Meet Gus Forrest (that’s not him pictured, but it is a famous Gus). Mr.Forrest has been following the picks made on this site by “The Picker,” he thinks he can do better, and he is willing to pick every single game tonight, both against the spread and the over/under, to prove his manliness. First we’ll give you tonight’s picks from “The Picker,” who is 5-4-1 since undertaking this risk of public humiliation six days ago. He has been holding
