Going Bananas on Portland moneyline +165

Lakers have not won in Portland since Feb 23, 2005.  Going back to 2002 regular season and playoffs Lakers are 3-12 at the Rose Garden.  In those 3 wins, they're won by a total of 4 points. 

Granted in todays matchup Portland is beatup and wounded.  Kobe is well aware of the Lakers struggles in the Rose Garden, but is it just one of those places where the Lakers struggle to win no matter who's on the court?  Below are the last 15 games the Lakers have played in the Rose Garden.

NICE PICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think your dates are screwed up lol

I think the Lakers are bringing back Tierre Brown for some luck tonite

EXCELLENT write up. I feel the same .............Lakers struggle in Portland ...BIG TIME ....and Gasol out of lineup, even more reason

Good shit,.

Can't see the Lakers losing this game. Yeah I know about the whole trend thing, but look at this Portland squad. 2/5 of their starting lineup is injured. (Oden & Andre Miller).  Their 3 best bench players(Outlaw,Fernandez and Przybilla are out) and Their 2 best players Brandon roy(hamstring) and Aldridge(ankle) are nursing injuries and are not 100%! This team is so banged up that they only played 7 players in their last game vs. Memphis and Pendergraph is not even NBA material he's just playing because Portland had to call him up from the D-league because of the injuries! This trend comes to an end tonight! Lakers Roll!

why the fuck is everyone on the nets??? now thats scary

Lakers are not due to win but Portland is worn down, I see a nice bounce back game for the Lakers and a bad night ahead for the Balzers!

you missed the bus with the clips the other night take the points

I was on that bus and cashed nicely.  Not on the moneyline but on the spread.  I'm going to continue my tour tonight

So what, Portland beats the Lakers all the time. That's all you can come up with. Well you couldn't pick a worse time to take Portland. Kobe is going to SHIT on Portland. Yeah I know you're scared now.

During the Shaq era, do you know how many of those games I couldn't see the Lakers losing in Portland and they did?  Yah I lost alot of  money. 

Since Boston acquired Garnett and Allen, do you know how many people said, "I can't see Boston losing"?  Well Garnett, Allen, Pierce are 0-3 in GS since the trio have been assembled. 

Shit just happens, and it won't surprise me if Lakers lose again tonight. 

On paper should the Lakers win tonight?  Most definately!!  But the game will still be played. 

Will I be upset if the Lakers win?  For Sure!!!   I'm getting pissed just thinking they might.

Don't worry. NO will beat them by at least 15.

Is there more I should come up with?  Did you want me to say something like Portland never wins against the Lakers in the Rose Garden.  Therefore, with this wounded team they'll pull a victory out of their ass because they never have before. 

If the Lakers do win, I don't think it'll be a walk in the park. 

It's supposed to confuse you, lol

Sorry supposed to be a total of 5 points.  I can't believe no one caught that yet. 

The way you bet, the only thing you'll feel when you reach into your pocket is your fucking leg.

Lakers win tonight though PEACE!

I love the play?
