WEEK 3 PICKS

LAMARCUS ALDRIDGE

Hello.

I'm facing personal problems and I won't be able to continue with this, at least at previous level.
I'll post everyday here who is my pick for the day and a simple why.
Anyway, I'll explian some things:

Now, we enter a time where some adjustments have to be done.
The results are being extremelly difficult for us.
Two 'underdogs' like Spurs and Jazz are winning 3-1.
Then we have the Suns and Lakers. Both should advance but the series are tied.
In the East things are easier. Cavs, Hawks, Magic and Celtics will advance.

We have to decide now that 7 of those series are done.
Lakers, Spurs, Jazz, Cavs, Magic, Hawks and Celtics will pass.
Only the SUNS-BLAZERS serie is in the air.

We have two news for us.
-All of the players we ahve picked ave been picked from the right teams.
-Our two last picks G.Wallace & Luol Deng were somehow...poor.

So we have to decide now what to do.
The best way of action is sticking to our plan and try picking players just form the teams that won't advance.
And is very important a daily monitorizing of the situation.

Let's see what pickable players we have left from eliminating teams:
Thunder: -
Mavs: Nowitzky
Nuggets: Anthony, Billups
Bulls: -
Bobcats: -
Bucks: -
Heat: -

And from the open serie,
Suns: Stoudamire, Nash
Blazers: Aldridge, Miller, ¿Roy?

So, let's pick today's player:
It's extremely important taking a Blazer/Sun.
Next 2 games of that series are in the same days of the Mavs games.
So, we have to pick from:

Stoudamire, Nash, Aldridge, Miller, Roy.

0% has picked Roy for today. Is tempting, but not a smart decision. I don't want t pick him today and get a 20-25 PRA from a player who could get 2x that next(s) game(s).

We have to take into consideration that if the Blazers advance they have 3 viable options and even Camby.
If the Suns advance they have 2 options (and maybe J-Rich).
And that Suns have court advantage and are the favourites.
Sorry Blazers, but you're out.

Aldridge is overall better, and Roy's (small) presence will hurt more to Miller than LaMarcus.
So, Aldridge is my man.
others: Miller, Jennings, Stoudamire

Tomorrow we will go with Dirk Nowiztky. I'll try posting something.

Have a nice week,

LAMARCUS ALDRIDGE

  2. Julen,

    I am very sad to hear that. I hope everything works out for you man. I really enjoyed your blog.

    So far we have been picking the same guys for the same reasons. So even though you would be able to write long reasons, I think i can comment and add some reason to your brillant picks :)

    And just for the record even though our last two picks did not give us a lot of points, we did pick the smart picks. Afterall we still have all of our jazz players while the majority of people have picked one if not two of them. So now that we were patient we can start picking the big guns from the unpredictable series like Aldridge, Nowitzki, Billups, Roy, Melo, and Terry. We are sitting pretty!

    Alright peace man, and again the best of luck! If you need anything you have my email so don't hesitate to ask (if i can help im there man)
