    Is Portland +1 a pre All Star break Lock of the Year?

    Clipp Joint being treated like royalty by oddsmakers. Probably only three teams I would lay points in Portland with, and Clippers are not one of them.

    Portland a lock of the year against the clippers?

    yeah, I'm sure that game will be a complete domination. A bloodbath in fact. Yeah, there's absolutely no chance of sweating out a 200 bet at +1, let alone a lock of the year.

    good luck on calling lock of the year on a game where the bench score should be 50-5... against the team you're picking.

    Ummm no not the lock of the year. I think they are the right side though. Wonder if you can get +2.5 tomorrow instead?

    Clippers lost to the Cavs and Warriors at home.

    This is just the dumbass NBA at its weirdest.

    Of course Clips are real...this team has tremendous talent.

    On the other hand, Portland is fast asleep. We could still have a game if Blazers complete their nap at half time and come back fresh. 24 mins is a long time.

    Its ok Houli I'd say this is a good pick generally. I was on Portland too, seemed like a great situational play given Port's rest and the Clipps on a tough back-to-back. Whatever. you miss 13 of 14 shots in the 2nd quarter, and close the half down 21 should have been 24 for not a last sec 3 - and you can't expect to win many games.

    At least my OKC/CHI under hit... barely.

    Clippers had significant advantages in this game especially at the point. Port made an adjustment at half putting Batum on Paul that would have kept them closer in this game. PORTLAND is not a better team than the Clippers. Not even close in fact. You have to pick your spots when you're betting on non-playoff teams and +1 was a short line tonight for sure based on the matchup in my opinion.

    Thanks for clarifying after the fact. I never said Portland was a better team than the Clippers -- I just liked them in this spot, given the Clippers blew out the Spurs at home the night before and then had to travel to the Rose Garden.

    Where was your bet on this game before it tipped?
