    No Revenge: Can't See Portland Winning In Minnesota

    Low spread, jump on it if you like Minnesota, Minnesota just too strong, showed this in Portland a few nights back.

    this line will climb, i jumped on the -1.5, might be close the way rubio misses free throws like yesterday's game. will be a 3 point shooting contest with batum vs. love, and love will win.

    I hate betting on the twolves when they are favourites. I have been screwed by them a couple of times when betting on them as favourites. The most recent 1 is the game against the Clippers. They could probably win but screw their backers by winning by a pt again.

    I like Minny in this but if they win they will be 21-19 and that just doesn't seem like a record that should be associated w/ a Timberwolves team!

    I dont like them as favorites ever either, its like they get wind that their favorites and go screw it up. I dont count out the Blazers entirely, Im just hoping Minny comes to play and show that last week wasnt a fluke.

    Does this line seem very off to anyone else? Everyone is talking about the revenge factor. But I don't think the revenge factor and being on the road mix quite as well. Not to mention that the Blazers need to worry about their PG play and defense before they start thinking about revenge.

    Minnesota just dominated the Blazers in Portland.
    Minnesota has a better record than Portland
    Portland is 5-12 on the road
    Minnesota is one of the hottest teams in the NBA, Portland is one of the coldest.

    And I'm suppose to believe Minnesota is only a 1.5 pt favorite? Something's off here. I want to take Minnesota ML big, but it seems too good to be true.

    They just blew a late lead against the Clippers at home to win, but not cover. Line may be a little low but i don't think anyone trusts Minny yet to pull out the 'expected' wins. Kind of doubt Pekovic will be that important either since Portland doesn't have anyone who plays in the paint. I like Minny on the ML

    Of course right when I go to take Minnesota the line jumps up to -2.

    it's hard to rely on the wolves when they are favorites.... too much expectations... Jamal/felton might have a good night..

    This will be a great game to watch, anyone have news on whether Pekovic will play?
