Monday NBA picks...

When is this winning run going to end?...

Gotta be tonight...

Of course, I have been saying that for 3 straight days...

My #1 NBA sides have won 10 straight....That is one win off my all-time record of 11 straight set back in the late 1990s...I often thought I should have had a longer streak than 11 since I started tracking my ranked picks in the mid 1990s...But it's harder than you think...By the time I am done capping the board, I often have any one of 2 to 3 picks that could qualify as a #1 pick...So picking that one game out of 2, 3 or 4 sometimes is not easy and then the pick has to win, of course...My #1 pick generally does better when I only have one clear-cut pick that jumps off the page at me...But even then, it's rare to only have 1 pick jump off the board at me daily, and then, once again, to win 11 in a row?...Not as easy as you think...During the course of every NBA season, I have at least one 7-game winning streak every season and have some 8 and 9-game streaks mixed in with those 7-gamers over the years...

But this is officially my hottest streak for #1 NBA sides.

10-0 last 10

17-1 last 18

21-2 last 23

Only my 11-0 from  the late 90's beats my current 10-0 (which I have done at least 1 other time), but I have never had a 17-1 or 21-2 stretch before...

I am 34-13 for the regular season (72.3%), 9-4 for the preseason (69.2%) and 43-17 overall (71.7%)...

Also, ALL of my NBA Sides picks are also scorching hot as this may be my best 7-week stretch ever...I had a similar 7-week stretch in either 2005 or 2006 to start the season, documented on therx.com forum, and I am trying to find that one to see how many units I was up, as I know it was in the neighborhood of where I am right now...

I am at 207-142-2 now (59.3%), one day shy of 7 complete weeks of the season, up 50.8 units...

If you include the preseason, I am 245-167-4, (59.5%), up 61.3 units...

Over my last 18 days of games (no games on Thanksgiving), I have had 16 winning days, one 3-3 day and one 2-3 day, for a record of  92-47, (66.2%) for all NBA Sides, up 40.3 units...

This is the best run I have ever had with my NBA sides...

My #1 NBA Totals have been a struggle at 23-22-2 in the regular season and 6-7 during the preseason, although I have my longest winning streak of the year happening right now at 4 in a row...

I will post until this hot streak crashes and burns, which I have been expecting for days...

Tonight:

Sides:

1) SA, 2) GS, 3) OKC, 4) Cle, 5) LAC, 6) Den, 7) Mem, 8) Was, 9) Min, 10) Cha

Totals:

1) Den ov, 2) LAC un, 3) Mem ov, 4) Min un, 5) OKC ov, 6) GS un, 7) Was ov, 8) SA un, 9) Cha ov, 10) Cle un

I like my top 4 sides tonight, which means they will go 1-3 or 0-4, and I am not crazy about any totals tonight...Although I have to admit that the Spurs are my clear-cut #1 pick for tonight, which probably means it will lose by 1/2 a point...
