Blazers +7 and ML vs. Hawks maybe

Question

just wanted to open discussion as I think my Blazers are in a good spot to cover ATS and maybe sneak out a SU win

our loss to Cavs really was a combination of Batum missing 2 defensive assignments on Kyrie that left him open for 3pt shots, Wesley uncharacteristically missing open 3's, and LaMarcus not getting enough touches in crunch time..it looked to me that all 3 players were very frustrated with that situation and disappointed in themselves and I look for them to come out sharper.

I also like the fact that Lillard got snubbed for the All Star game and should come out with a chip on his shoulder going against 3 Atlanta All Stars.

I could be way wrong and have not submitted either bet yet so any points or counterpoints appreciated. thanks

Atlanta are a far better team than the Cavs with or without Lebron.

&#xD;&#xA;That does not make a difference whatsoever as to the outcome of this game. &#xD;&#xA;Every single team is better than the worse team in the nba ... True or False...&#xD;&#xA;The worse team in the nba still has won games.... True or False....&#xD;&#xA;Dumb Comment True or False... I will answer that.. True.&#xD;&#xA;If you don&#x27;t believe the nba is a situational game than you are crazy. This game against Atl may be in the minds of Portland a more important game than a game against the cavs without LeBron. I personally think it is for them. I like the 7pts.  I like it at 5 so im gonna wait and hope the public keeps driving the hawks lines up..

I&#x27;m gonna wait and see what the line does.... I believe the Hawks will be coming back to earth a little bit between now and the break....

motivation is such a huge thing in this league where guys sleep walk thru the 82 game sched, Lillard, Aldridge, Batum and Matthews all have reason to be motivated at least for tonight and that's enough for me

Blazers +6.5
ML +240

No RTM lately or you haven&#x27;t been looking at that angle?

StraightWagers · Answer

naesiy I am tracking the RTM just waiting to post a hopefully good one as they hit and miss and I don't want to dilute them by posting every one, but when the slammer comes you'll know thanks for asking

maybe the refs will give us more than 1 free throw in the 2nd half, Lillard usually has a big 4th qtr so here we go

Blazers +7 and ML vs. Hawks maybe
