Fell for Portland again... I feel so stupid

Question

I don&#x27;t know why I keep taking them... They really have taken about 10 steps backwards from last season.How can one starter get over 50.  And the other 4 combined not even get half that?Lillard is an amazing player.. but I mean really, wtf are these other people doing out there?  Just standing around watching him shoot?The saddest part about this team is that their 2nd highest scorer is a 20 year old kid playing off the bench.  How do guys like McCollum and Whiteside feel about a kid on the bench contributing way more than them?

Don&#x27;t worry you will take them next game..Why?  Because they have to win at home at some point....Its the psychology of sports betting...

I thought that would be the case today.  I really couldn&#x27;t see them dropping this game.Hood going off injured hurt them.  But I really an bewildered by the lack of contribution from their entire team.In fairness, they have only played 3 home games now, and 2 of them against two of the best teams in the NBA (Philly/Denver).  But I don&#x27;t rate the nets as a great team.  East Coast team travelling to Portland.. they really should have done better here.  I guess they will beat the Hawks next up, but the line will probably be something silly like -8.5 and I can see Portland winning but not covering.. just to rub salt in the wounds of anyone betting on them.

&#xA;Yes. They are actually just standing and watching him shoot. He kept taking advantage of kyries/nets poor poor defense but didnt truly help his team win the game. theres a big difference. something he doesnt really know.

Told myself I would wait until Sun but couldn&#x27;t resist 2nd half.  Probably will stay away vs ATL as odds makers will have them favored at sum ridiculous number and ATL will probably cover.

Haha I just said the exact same thing.  Portland just can&#x27;t be trusted right now

Probably the team I least trust with where they are heading.They could click and do what Houston did last season, and go on an awesome run to the play offs after a crap start.  Or they could just stay like this and their season just goes nowhere.  Which direction they go in.. I&#x27;m not sure.  After they have played a few of those bottom dwelling teams it might give us more of an idea if they can still compete to a decent level.  Until then.. tread carefully!
