Going Bananas on Portland moneyline +165

Portland does it with a bunch of guards

I would have considered those losses a motivator in the Lakers' favor. Glad I stayed off.

I don't  know shit about college basketball.  I stay away until march madness.  Even then I still don't know shit.

Great call...........again..........Why I doubt you? Its like a gravitational force pulling me to losers. HA.

I didnt bet the game, but I bet some others friday night and went 0-3.

You are the man!

Thanks but you had every reason to doubt the play with all the injuries Portland had.  0-3, no big deal, I've done that quite often.  You'll get back on track.  Start it off with Miami today

If this game is such a mismatch..why just a 3-point spread, lakers are getting the heavy consensus BUT Home court in this series is HUGE, checked the past 10 meetings and home team has won ALL of them,(Maybe even longer, just went back 10 games) PORT also beat LA at home on 1/8(Like 4 weeks ago) Roy went off for 32 that game and will be OUT tonight, but Batum/Blake and Rudy are all back(they were ALL OUT in the 1st meeting as was Gasol for the Lakers) Kobe also scored 32 points but took 37 shots from the field(14-37) and now will have Batum's D to contend with(He could be a 'Kobe-stopper') Bayless also is playing a bigger role and think PORT has a BIG advantage at the PG spot with old-man Fisher simply too slow to deal with Bayless and Miller's speed(I actually HATE Andre Miller, he can't shoot a lick but sure has been getting to the rim lately) Now I'm not gonna say for sure someone will win, but the Rose Garden is one hell of a hard place to win at, as the Lakers have found out over the past few seasons and SA found out last game as they too were 'desperate' for a win against a majorly banged up PORT team and guess who found a way to win late? PORT has proven how good their bench is, they pretty much have 2 starting lineups and the bench guys like Bayless and webster have stepped in and stepped up! All that said, the Lakers are playing a back-back with travel off a loss and PORT is missing their best player and top 2 centers, so rather than chance a side play on a team in a tough spot(BOTH are IMO) I'll be hitting the total to go UNDER the 194 as both teams will be hungry to beat their division rival and make a concentrated effort, especially defensively!

GL GUYS!!!
