Chasing Pure Locks: Friday, November 5th, 2021
Nine games on the Friday night menu, folks!
We are obligated to tell you that our current record since we started this segment on Monday is 4-8. So you actually would have been better off fading us so far.
But is tonight the night we turn this ship around?
Pure Lock #1: Nets -10 at Pistons
The Nets offense has started to show signs of life.
That’s good enough for us playing against a Pistons team on the second night of a back-to-back and currently shooting historically bad from the field.

Pure Lock #2: Knicks +4 at Bucks
The Knicks burned us on Monday night when we took them against the Raptors, and the Knicks burned us on Wednesday night when we took them against the Pacers.
We are back for more. We can’t quit these Knicks! Third time is the charm!!
Coming off two straight losses, Thibs should have them ready to run through a brick wall.
We would feel better if Jrue Holiday wasn’t likely playing tonight, but perhaps he could be a little rusty in his first game back since October 23rd.

Pure Lock #3: Pacers at Blazers -5
You know the saying, “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer”? Well, that’s what we are going for here.
Sure, the Pesky Pacers always seem to find a way to bone us and bone us hard, but we ain’t scared!
Portland could really use a good dub after three straight losses.
And so, we are riding with Dame and CJ in Moda where the Blazers are 3-1 on the season.
