i love portland but after getting burned by the st john vs seton hall trap game a week ago im kinda worried that this is to easy as for orlando is the leading 3 point shooting team in attemps and makes in the league so they can shoot the 3 ball lol

Appreciate you're thoughts as always but my mind is already made up.  Obviously it takes more than height to rebound but it helps to have the two tallest players on the court at all times.  Portland's effort will be fine.  Like Rosto said, unless Orlando hit's 20 threes, they are not winning this game.  GL

hmmm my best guess is jameer/j richardson/tukoglu/bass/and either malik anderson or ryan anderson... this is a tough game but man if magics pushes the pace and start hitting 3's, they'll make it rain like the comeback against the heats

Yes they can, but it helps when you have D-Howard drawing so much attention in the middle which opens up the perimeter for those shooters.  Also, don't let past bets affect future bets.  One game has nothing to do with the other, win or lose

Turkoglu is so bad right now.  Batum will drop 20 on him.  The two Anderson's trying to guard Aldridge will be something to watch.  I really love this match up.

No problem!  Anytime.  I am fairly new to this as well.  Any advice/thoughts are good and appreciated.  The more info the better.  One game at a time.  Give it 110% LoL  my head hurts

so i think the bulls have advantage as well since paul has the concussion and wont play tomorow. the line is at -8 bulls i think they can cover that. what im worried is that since today was such a playoff atmosphere that tomorow they will just go through the motions and win by a few and not cover

If the Bulls are -8, I will def jump on that.  Great point about a possible let down after playing Orland and Miami but this team is so well coached and I think they will be focused on the task at hand.  My book does not have a line out yet but -8 is great.  Thought it would be 12 or 13.  Home crowd will be pumping with Bulls coming home after doing what they did in last two games.

Vegas is going to have a huge payday! This has trap written all over it.  Keep in mind that all those billion dollar casinos where built on the public's losing's not winning's.  I feel that the under would be a better bet than taking a sorry ass Portland team.  Best of luck to u Humbled.

In that case Portland will cover.  70% of public is on Orlando.  I don't like the under because I don't trust Magic's defense without Howard.  And Orlando could put up points vs this Blazers D.

No Paul, West or Ariza?  That's nuts!  Are West and Ariza out or questionable?

True dat. But the question is can the sorry ass Blazers put up da points?  and we have to rely on d Magic 3 point shooters.  Guess dis is why we gamble.  Its like crack!

Howard has missed two games this year.  At detroit they won 104-91 but had Gortat, Bass, and Rashard Lewis to fill in.  They out rebounded the pistons 35-22 but detroit shot 48% FG.  I also dont think the duo of Jason Maxiell and Ben Wallace are as good as Camby and Aldrige.  Their second game without Howard was the very next night and lost 85-96 to milwaukee.  In that game, Andrew Bogut droped 31 points and 18 rebounds.  The Bucks out rebounded the Magics 54-38 and they only hit one three pointer all game.  The magics also had bass, gortat, and lewis to fill in that game.  I think the blazers win this game and I think the only reason Orlando is giving -2 is because of the revenge factor and because Blazers do suck on the road this year.

Ariza is questionable.  Humble I also have jumped on Houston-4.  I feel they may be putting up more points by the game tomorrow, maybe -5.5 even.  How do you think of this play?  Just wondering, I already have portland, lac, and hou locked in.  Bulls might certainly be a good play, though it may be a better first half play .  Other games seem hard to cap.  So those may be my only three plays, and hoping to get BULLs-7

Crack?   That's a bit strong.  I do it to win money, not for the rush or the so-called action.  Don't be burning money in my forum LoL

Even if they are blind betting, you really think it'll only be -2 @ Orlando?

If they are that stupid, they deserve to burn their cash.

Watching the blazers play lately is like watching a race car trying to finish it's race with flat wheels.

Only a bad shooting night by the Magic will help the blazers win this game even without DH.
