    Memphis @ Portland(-5 1/2)

    Seems like Portland would want to really win this game. or am I wrong?

    I think so. Considering teasing this with LA. Or just parlay the MLs. Spread is a bit inflated.

    they are pretty much both in the same situation. MEM has been playing with just a little more passion if you ask me. gotta take the points. maybe a dash on the ml.

    I like the under in this matchup a lot more than picking a side. GL

    It's all messed up.

    If the Blazers win they clinch the 6 seed and will most likely have to play the Lakers in the 1st round which is not ideal.
    The under looks like a better bet.

    They are "most likely" to play Dallas if they clinch the 7th seed. Lakers have the edge for the 2nd seed as things stand.

    Do you think the Lakers beat Sacramento in probably the last game ever held in that city? I think Sacramento comes out as the favorite in that game or at least a pickem.

    Like the night they did the "save the franchise" garbage and lost SU as a 9-point fave vs. Cleveland on their home court?

    Definitely hard to go against Portland, considering how opponents has historically perform horribly their. If the Blazers get their 3's going, they cover easily. Gerald Wallace should be huge today. The only way Memphis covers is if Zach Randolph goes off. Players playing against their former teams always seem to perform better.

    This game looks like a toss up to me so gotta go with the dog since it has value.

    How can you bet against our own best capper of the week GoldenGeek and Laker_Crazy eh?

    Them and many more (whether they follow them or on their picking I don't know) are picking dogs memphis around +5 to 5.5.

    I'm about to wave the white flag because I capped on Portland to win SU but little do I know, I did not contest with the spread.

    Now I am going to hedge my bet by buying up memphis. Memphis is the play when LC and GG are on it. No word of SJ and BL is on vacation till playoff.

    That's a wrap and Good luck.

    Oh and this year, both games were played in memphis and if we play with the +5.5 spread for memphis, it'll look like this.

    Nov 16th - Memphis lost portland 99-100 <<-- if you add spread, memphis win
    dec 13th - Memphis beat portland SU 86-73

    In other words, either Memphis SU win or it will be close for a backdoor cover. Bet with confidence.
