What's going on y'all!?!? We had a very ROLLERCOASTER First Round of the NBA Playoffs... We had a BRUTAL couple days in the beginning, and we've slowly been GRINDING back from that DISASTER!! However, we've done a pretty good job of climbing out of that hole, and find ourselves in a "Decent" spot headed into the Conference Semi-Final Round!! In this post... I'll give you guy's MY Individual Results from each day, as well as my overall First Round Results.. I'll show which First Round "Futures" cashed for us, and which "Pre-Playoff Future's" we still have ALIVE headed into the Second Round!! I'll also have a "NBA Second Round Preview" video out for y'all at some point this evening.. I'm going to try to have it out before the first game tips off at 8:30 tonight, but not sure I'm going to have enough time.. Either way, I'll have it out at some point this evening.. I'll also release "Crick's Picks" for tonight's game here in just a little bit.. We still have A LOT of Hoops left in these Playoffs and we're gonna keep this thing headed in the RIGHT DIRECTION!!

@SportsPicks
What are your thoughts of Kash Patel being nominated to be the head of the ATF in addition to the FBI? Is that possible? Would the Senate go for this?

I am asking because from the video below by Jared @ Guns and Gadgets, it seems that it was leaked that Trump will officially nominate Kash Patel shortly.

Crick's Picks: NCAAB, NBA, & NHL - 2/22/25

We're BACK AT IT Folks!! It's been a few days since I posted my picks, due to the fact there wasn't a whole lot of action goin on around the Sports Universe for the last week... Well, let me rephrase that... There was a lot goin on, with All Star Breaks & the 4 Nations Tourney in Hockey, but even with College Hoops still rollin along... The betting options were limited to say the least!! However, Today... WE'RE BACK BABY, as we have a MASSIVE SLATE across all sports & I've got a MONSTER CARD!! My results will be posted below, and I'll include the 4 Nations Results, but they won't be factored into our overall numbers for NCCAB, NBA, & NHL because I want to keep all that separate since they weren't "Actual NHL Games"... Let's see if we can get this thing CRANKED BACK UP THE RIGHT WAY!! You & Your Beautiful Families STAY SAFE Out There!!! Good Luck, Good Gamblin, & Go Vols!!!!
