I am Deeply Sorry......

Those of you who listened to the heartfelt apology from el Tigre might think I am alluding to his somber words as he addressed the media earlier this morning. However, I am issuing a mea culpa for the Georgetown release on behalf of Propick Sports. Despite a furious rally late in the game, this was a stinkfest throughout. After opening the game on a 13-2 run, the Cuse never looked back and Georgetown never held a lead at any point during this contest. As someone who has mastered the college hoops scene for the past decade, I take any loss quite seriously.

Tonight the Trailblazers are playing a Celtics team that is coming off an emotional win last night against the Lakers. Considering the age of the Celtics core players, back to back road games are not a good scenario for this team. Furthermore, the Blazers are 4-0 in their last four games against Eastern conference opponents and 8-2 in their last 10 home games against the spread. While the Celtics are a formidable road squad at 19-9 on the year, this is a "special situations" type of release. A long trip out west followed by a hard fought win over their bitter rivals last night will lead to a letdown. Tonight's play.......Trailblazers -3 over the Celtics.

Kudos to the often talked about Marxy for last night's ridiculous effort. I was not alive when Willis Reed limped back onto the court in the NBA Finals against the Lakers but it's hard to fathom a more impressive performance than the one put on by Marxy last night. After stressing about an early credit meeting before heading down to Florida for a marathon this weekend, Marxy managed to keep the engine running longer than most in their twenties, let alone mid thirties. As a reward for his dilligence and aggressive alcohol intake, he managed to hook up with one of the hottest twenty somethings this city has ever seen. That my friends is a job well done!
