Mint State 70 wager: Los Angeles Clippers -1
at Portland Trailblazers.

Points to Consider:
1. Clips are forcing 18.8 TO's per game (2nd)
2. Clips are avg 104.6 PPG (4th)
3. On the rebound after last night's considerable defensive
effort, led by emphasis of Chris Paul, forcing 20 TO's by Spurs
and holding them to 41.1% SP. Outrebounded them 46-29.
4. Game was on cruise control in the 4th quarter, after 3 Q's
the Clips led by 20 pts - you want to see this because they are
playing b2b and you don't want them having to fight tooth-n-nail to
the buzzer, which could lead to b2b fatigue.
5. Blazers road trip revealed serious problems competing with
top echelon teams - they lost by 14 at OKC and by 23 @ Mavs.
6. Blazers previously fierce home stands are a trademark, but
not yet tested in 2012. The Mavs held them to 38.7% SP Monday.
The Blazers of 2012 could be very thin on
the bench, they are league-worst thus far avg. only 12.8 PPG.

I don't expect a let down. Think this is the best bet on the board tonight

Don't know if I can trust your info, seeing as how you say this is the Blazer's first home game, when in fact they opened up at home against the Lakers at home on Oct 31 and won by 10 despite 33/14 from Dwight. Blazers at home is no joke, I will be taking them tonight against an overrated Clippers team

[WHATaTEASE]

I'll be on this as well !

Wouldn't consider the Clips overrated. Who in the West is better than them? Spurs would be a tough series despite the sweep last year. Okc... not w/out Harden. Griz might be. They're a solid contender

[bigjah15]

Everyone will be on te clippers based on last nights game, therefore Portland at home is the play. BOL

my bad, I was looking at the November calendar.
Still, all the stat info is directly from CBS Sports.
good luck, you will need it with the Blazers. I remember the first game
now, Lakers lost there by 10 with an injured Nash. They also lost to
Clippers by 20 points. I feel even better about taking the Clips because
the Blazers got that first home win behind them, they can lose tonight
and all the plumber's butt granola crunchers at the Rose Garden can
still feel good about their scrub-level team.
If you're looking for a valid reason the Blazers will win tonight,
you're not going to find one, other than the assumption that
they will be a "different team at home".

The public is on Portland tho, so if your only reason for fading the clips is to bet against the public then your logic is flawed. Clips win big with another huge night from Crawford off the bench IMO.

[Frisco]

Probably going to take Portland 1Q and Clips game

[Snowball]

Clip stars will revel in the national tv appearance tonight.
I hope we see another dunk-fest like they just put on San Antonio.

[Sport_Fish]

I actually believe the opposite and see this as being a letdown. That Spurs game was a very emotional win for this team and def. drained them physically and mentally. Now sure they're mostly young players on that roster but I simply don't see them playing at that same intensity, which is what they need to beat Portland at home.

Not to mention Clips shooting 103% from the field last night....that won't happen tonight.

Good luck

Can't see how this game approaches the total. Any insights? Under looks strong.
