Woof.

Last night is why there are skyscrapers in Vegas. Gamblers get impatient and do dumb stuff. I gradually built up $600 in profit only to piss it all way in two nights on 2 big bets. Them's the brakes.

The Bucks absolutely destroyed the Pacers last night. Giannis routinely wrecked Paul George which was shocking to me. George is probably the 2nd best wing defender in the league and Giannis had no problem getting to the hoop. The Pacers defense was just atrocious. Myles Turner got into foul trouble which meant lots of Al Jefferson, who at this point, is a complete disaster. Every time down the court the Bucks seemed to get either an easy look at the rim or get a foul committed by the Pacers.

Other good Bucks news is Parker finally started taking and making some 3's and overall looked dominate on offense. If Parker can keep that up along with becoming passable on defense, he will be a multiple time all star. Plus Monroe is starting to play really well. I like him coming off the bench and then playing big minutes. Needs to be getting the bulk of the minutes at C and Henson needs to never play.

What makes it worse this gambling loss so bad is the Bucks young stars were playing amazing, but I still had to root against them some because of all my bets. That's what I get for breaking my rule about betting on my favorite team. Never ever going to do it again. Not going to be making any bets tonight, going to take a break and reload my account on Monday and get back rolling.

Caught the Russ vs Durant vengeance game last night at the bars after the game. The first half was super fun. OKC came out and smacked GS in the mouth and was up 8 points or so in the first quarter. Then Russ had to come out of the game and the wheels quickly fell off. Oladipo for some reason was guarding Durant which is problematic. Especially considering Dipo is like 6'5 and Durant is 6'11. Shortly after that GS unleashed a 21-3 run and the game was pretty much over at that point. It was still fun to watch Durant and Westbrook trade big blocks on each other. If Presit could some how use some of his assets to get a legit wing player , the Thunder would be a super tough out in the playoffs.
