Congratulations to England, who just smashed Ireland at the Aviva.

Enjoyed that. England were good.

I went 3/5 on my LFA 59 picks. UFC on ESPN+ 2 is later tonight.

Are you familiar with that many fighters?

Did you ever see the movie “Chuck” about the real Rocky?

Another Q do consider Vladimir klitschko a top ten heavyweight of all time?
I'm down for mini-games. Not sure that I'll participate personally until I hear what it is though.

I follow as many promotions as I can. If I'm not familiar with fighters, I research them [record, style, recent performances, etc.]. I usually make it a rule to not make picks for fights that involve debuting opponents, but I made an exception for the Kron Gracie fight.

Never saw "Chuck."

Vladimir Klitschko is definitely top-10 as far as current heavyweight boxers go. I'd have to think on it, but tentatively, I would say yes.

I was thinking a confidence game

One person picks 5 NBA games and you pick the winners with increasing “confidence” so the game you assign the most confidence is worth 5 pts and the least 1 point

It has to be the same five games for everyone

I think a lot of Americans don’t like to give him his due.

This doesn't really play into the "1 point per pick" theme of the thread. Trying to keep things as simple as possible.

That being said, I'd be more than happy to create a section in the main post and title it something like "OccultHawk's Corner" or "The OccultHawk Challenge" and have those picks and points be separate from the main part. Whatcha think?

I can’t tell by your answer if you wanna play or not.

Get some others on board and I'll play. Either way, I'd be happy to grant you your own section, like I stated above.

Let’s just play one on one. Is it bothersome to make picks for this game that don’t count toward your score counter? It is, isn’t it? Sigh. I get it though. It’s sort of disruptive but it’s just a mini game. I mean if I start making NBA picks it’s like to easy to just cherry pick games. Not that... oh well ///tears

Okay, I'm game.

And if you can cherry-pick, then do it!

Wed Wizards Vs Bucks
Thurs Raptors Vs Hawks
Fri Nuggets Vs 76ers
Sat (2/9) Spurs Vs Jazz
Sat (2/9) Pelicans Vs Grizzles


It’s actually advantageous to go second. Since I picked the games I’ll pick first sometime tomorrow. Then you’ll have up until tip off of the first game. If you want to pick first go ahead. I’ll probably do it around noon tomorrow.
