Why is Portland +8.5 for tuesday??

[beanbag]

I don't understand this line at all. Portland has WON 3 out of the 4 match ups.. the only thing PHX has going for them is the home court advantage. PHX will probably win it but why is it higher then the last game after the bookies saw what Portland can do?

I'm jumping on it early!!

[PAULYPOKER]

Cause this is what it should be it was +8 the other night just cause Blazers beat them the books are not going to surrender the line

[beanbag]

yeah just seems way to high...

[kobefanatic]

i think suns will cover the spread in game 2, books baiting people to take blazers again

[PAULYPOKER]

I will say this much it looks like the +8.5 is the best play

[No coincidences]

Because they're going to lose by 12-15.

[The General]

Youth on the road give out for game 2.

[The General]

Phoenix should have revenge on their minds and ready to play much harder in a must win.

[in2thethickofit]

Because they're going to lose by 12-15.

Exactly, Suns will win big in this one. I think they grab a big lead and never look back, especially if Barbosa and Hill start hitting the shots. The Suns should win this by 15 minimum

I'll say this, though -- Suns don't match up well with Portland. They don't have anyone who can guard a physical PG like Miller.

[obamaismyuncle]

Don't over think it, take Portland

[ttwarrior1]

just wait to see who i like and take the other team

[beanbag]

Don't over think it, take Portland

I like your thinking!!

[jresse]

i hope not

[TheAccountant]

Did appear to be some real matchup problems, but Suns should come out ready to win. I think they'll win by double digits, but this looks like a no play after watching the first game. For real match up problems - see the Bucks hehe. They are lost without Bogut.

[jasont]

suns should blow this out early

[MarlinsFan2212]

I agree, I like Portland to Cover 8.5. No one on PHX can gaurd Miller, and if they leave the 2 gaurd on him rather then Nash, I expect Fernandez, Bayless or Webster to be more assertive with Nash on them. I mean Bayless can get to the bucket on Nash anytime he wants, and Webster&Fernandez are 3-4 inches taller. BLAZERS!

[superjeff24]

probably to fck over the square money

[nulldah]

on game 1, i said beware of blazers. the line just seems too easy. now i will say beware of suns, the same easy line applies here, but not for suns, for blazers instead. game 1 shows blazers still bad matchup for suns no matter which blazers r injured (i still think they can win the game without aldridge), but +8 just seems very strange. N I can say all strange things did happen after first day of playoff when all favs covered (after that we saw strange lakers,magic cover, blazers ML, etc)

[orangeheaven]

Game gonna be on TnT again so Portland got this, ML isnt bad bet.

[bill2266]

thats a high liine but never know about the suns

[lunchbawks]

amare will destroy the blazers, he played like crap in game 1.

suns by 10+

[krk1030]

Anyone who bets Portland is just dumb. The fact that they make the line that high again tells you they want you to bet portland.

Suns roll.

[THE PROFIT]

a team wins as an 8 point dog so they make them an 8 point dog again??? Sounds stupid doesn't it? Looks like free money. There's no such thing

[stevek173]

Looks great.

NBA's fixed.

Enjoy.

[lunchbawks]

...go watch ice hockey?

[Lockitup1x]

I'm jumping on it early!!

Good luck with your play bud

[dtp]

tough game

[hadjiro]

you never know whats going to happen in the NBA.. its where amazing happens fellas!

I agree man.. not sure portland can win but i think they can at least cover

[rfr3sh]

how hard is it to beat these playoff lines..they are so sharp Im laying off

[FreeFall]

Isn't every game an Independent Event of itself?

[PAULYPOKER]

The more I think about this one the more I see the Sun

[kobefanatic]

suns will win this one, amare won't have another bad game like that

[PAULYPOKER]

I'm thinking 15to20
