This is a last man standing/survival weekly contest. Starting each Monday each contestant will select either a side or total from the lines posted.

A better question is why did the 3rd guy select the 76'ers ?, even if they won, you don't eliminate anybody, except perhaps me.

Congrats, Doug.

I had definite reservations following aceking's 76ers pick, but it was the team I wanted. My second choice was Boston +6.5, so I am kinda kicking myself, now. . Following someone else's pick when it's down to just a few people is really bad strategy. Good observation, Doug.

it was the best bet of the day , I had it down very early . I think it closed at Phily -5 .

what I didn't know was Iverson had injured his ankle ,and went scoreless in the 3rd quarter.
