They say it is a strained foot, although he showed no indications of being hurt Thursday. Although these days, if it is simple rest, teams just say so, so who knows.

Do they have anything to gain (seeding) by playing a guy with a previous injury going into the playoffs ????

Although they are a four-seed, they do not have home court advantage right now trailing the Clippers and Rockets by two games. I guess they realize chances are slim to get it now so they are resigned to the fact they will open on the road.

You think giving 6 points without Aldridge and Afflalo are too generous for a Utah team?

**LT Profits** · 04-11-15, 10:18 AM

OR maybe he is really hurt.

I am already on Utah +7.

Going with utah

Portland will have the worse health situation of any team in the playoffs. I don't think the thunder make it so that pretty much assures the blazers will be the most gimpy. Despite the northwest division crown the blazers won't win a first round series.

Took Utah +6. Those kids have a high energy, and I think they'll keep it close. I hate to jinx this, but +6 sort of feels like a gift even knowing it started at +7.

Portland wins big without him.

Portland is without Aldridge, Mathews and Afflalo and are still -6. Books asking for Utah $$$

I would sit lilliard too if the seed is locked up. Can't finish lower than 4th and won't have homecourt either way.

Men they are all pretenders but Spurs and Golden St

Why even talk about this???????????????

**GIVEMETHEMONEY** · 04-11-15, 03:24 PM

If I remember right, Aldredge was out the last game the Blazers played and they still covered the points.

Will someone correct me if I am wrong on this?

**TwoWays** · 04-11-15, 03:30 PM

Gems only matter for a couple teams. Not worth the bet. Or just BDW

**BigSpoon** · 04-11-15, 03:35 PM

Would be surprised if Portland or Dallas won a playoff round this year.

Worked out OK for Jazz backers.

**mr. leisure** · 04-11-15, 11:39 PM

Utah with the 6 point win !

**seaborneq** · 04-12-15, 09:03 AM

Portland will probably lose their remaining games.

THIS is a definite possibility

**Sledge187** · 04-12-15, 10:40 AM

I think the Rockets will end up in the 5 seed, rematch of last years 1st round series.
