It's amazing, but 3/3.
Yesterday Noah performed 41 PRA +18 over his season averages.
3 players gave better result:
Lebron James, 56, +11 over averages, his team will advance
D.Williams, 49, +17 over averages, his team could advance (without Okur, I expect his averages increasing)
C.Anthony, 42, +1 over averages, his team could advance.
The only pick that, after looking at it, could be better is D-Will. But his team won. So it was a very bad result. We got 41 for a player who will not advance. Once again all we spoke about went true. Noah played with fierceness, and was the leader of his team.
And more good news. Rose pick was deficient. Boozer has not injuried and played average. Utah won. We have picked players form teams whose advance in PO's is nearly impossible.
I prefer getting 41 from Noah, and have Anthony, Boozer and D-Will, than picking one of them and get some more points. Everyday. Not even close!
But this was thanks to Joakim, you gave us a great help!
We are 84%. Our strategy-results are the bests, and we are in the right way.

It's time for today's pick:

Don't forget taking a look at timetable & players:
We won't enter the BOS-MIA series. Neither the PHO-POR. Anyone could win. So we have 2 teams to pick from:
Oklahoma City Thunder
Milwaukee Bucks

Let's remember that their pickable players are:
Durant
Westbrook
Salmons
Jennings

The picks of the last days were quite easy. At least we weren't forced to make any tough decision. But now we have to choose one way.
I had Aldridge picked for today but POR win forces us to wait before entering in those kingdoms.

We picked Westbrook, so we have just one player left from the OKC, Durant.
He is a player that we will have to pick.
The questions are these:
Are Salmons or Jennings worthy of a pick? Maybe not
Is smart picking the 2nd best PRA player in an away game that has great chances of being a blowout? Maybe not
Will one of the duo Salmons-Jennings post above his average PRA? Maybe yes
Is the game 3 of the OKC series the best day for picking Durant? Yes

Let's take another look to the Salmons-Jennings duo:
Player(Season av, last 2 months av, Reg-Season vs. Hawks av, PRA-15 since AllStar)
Salmons (21, 24, 41, 2)
Jennings (24, 21, 13, 8)

Amazed?
Salmons has exceled in Milwaukee, and even more against Hawks: 44, 45, 33 in 3 games.

So we have narrowed the pool to Salmons and Durant
Who is our player?

If we knew that Salmons would post 30 PRA the choice would be easy. But there is risk involved.
Is your choice.

Mine's is Salmons.
Let's hope that there is not a blowout. Our strategy has worked so well that we could accept a 20 PRA performance and still be in the right way. There will be time for the superstars.

John, you have been the #1 in Milwaukee since your arrival. Give us one of your hot nights, and we will give you our eternal love LOL. Give us 25+ PRA
