Just in. Giannis is playing. Bucks -7. Glad I got the short line. Go Bucks!

Nba.com just listed Freak as questionable.

Fanduel says antenkoupo (sp.) is questionable.  Nba.com says he's probable.  But the questionable is probably legit. 

It's not like the Lakers Knicks line that dropped two points.  That's just New York money-- lotta of it.  But no one cares about Magic and Bucks.

Dunno. Liillatd and freak probable. Suggs out

utah jazz, san antonio spurs

nice feel.

you must like the spurs tomorrow?

ah hem, any lean on the Bucks-Mavs?

AsUsual great thread bb

Warriors blew smoke up his butt. He delivered with a championship. He’s no jimmy butler in so many ways. Dedd see desperate owners kicked him to curb. They wanted Kuminga. 

Butler took Miami to two finals.  He's worth twice as much as Wigs.  Wiggins was amazing in that last finals run.  That's his apex.  Butler's a wild card.  I think he'll shock.  If they stay healthy, and that's a big if, this team could make a run.

And Sac is in disarray with the Fox trade and the addition of Levine.  They're finesse is now out the window with two ball eaters (Levine and Derozan) in the starting lineup.  How did that work out for them in Chicago.  Only downside to this play is Sac getting blown out last night.  As I say, this Portland of the last ten games reminds me of Chauncy's 2004 DEETroit Pistons.  Bunch of unheralded players fitting perfectly together. Camara is a pleasure to watch, if you like defensive prowess.  Good luck.

In the Kings favor is the blowout loss last night.  But if you watch these last few Portland games, the Blazers remind me of the 2004 Pistons.  Everyone's healthy.  Scoot comes off the bench.  Avidja out of nowhere  turns into  a banger of a player.  Ayton looks like a legit center with a nice medium range jump  shot for which his teamates set him up.  And Carmera is currently one of the top defensive players in the league-- quick, long and SMART.  I think the Blazers next loss will be on a back to back versus a better team than the trade altered Kings.  However, the bad beat last night is a good sign for the Kings.  Good luck Kings backers!

ah hem.  His cancerous pal Zach is back.

History favors Orlando. Nice pick. Good luck. I’m all over Portland.  Wish Sac played better Vs Orlando. Portland looks like Larry Brown’s Pistons. 

Sac was first game back after east coast road trip plus adding Levine. Magic we’re hungry for win. What’s Denver Orlando history?

Toughest b2b in league west coast to Denver or Utah. 

golden state just lost by 18 at home to Phoenix.  Draymond Green coming back.  They will be up for it.

nice write up.  Is Suggs playing.  Word has it Draymond Green is back.  Warriors don't lose two in a row at home.  Ask the Thunder and Timberwolves.  Your Orlando pick is based on the theory that they're overdue.  Well, they've lost 8 of 9.  That is true.  I like the dubs; coming off a home drubbing by Phoenix.  Dubs have won the last two vs Magic handily.
