I'd like to pick the Cavs over Spurs, but they play the night before on the road while San Antonio will be coming off a three-day break.

I'm off to Boston to have a look at Denver vs Celtics tonight. I look for C's to win their 4th in a row, but that doesn't count in the Pace Mannion. Let's stick to business here, Howard.

No Dirk or Zaza? Can I switch my spread in the Mavs/Warriors game to 28? (Yes, serious)
(if not, no biggie)

Yep. You got the change in before tipoff.

Begrudging thanks. I guess. (not even going to watch this)

Hahaha. And that's what I get for meddling.

I missed the San Antonio result by 51 points. That's got to be a record.

I'll give you a pass on this one 'cade. You just got mixed up on your Texas geography.

Howard_T and Tron7 win the week while the standings remain the same. Nobody thought Chicago would beat Cleveland on the road, but the Blatt-less Cavaliers drop one to the Bulls.
Rules
Pick the winner and spread for each game. Score 5 points if the team wins, 3 more points if your spread is close and another 2 if you hit the spread exactly.
At your option, make one game a slam dunk to triple your score in victory or lose 5 points in defeat.
Read the detailed rules on the first week's post.
If SportsFilter is down and you need to submit your picks, you can send them in email to me.
This Week's Games
Lots of Texas this week, including the Battle of Interstate 10 between the Rockets and Spurs and a Dallas appearance. New York faces a tough 30-win Toronto team on the road and Chicago has an easy and tough game in L.A. (Guess which is which.)
