Pounding Portland dont care if
its a b2b

Mthorn · 04-08-11, 12:08 AM

Lakers will get it tomorrow.

Speedy88 · 04-08-11, 12:40 AM

Lakers will win but Portland will fight int his game. Portland needs this game bad, whereas LA could care less about the game.

goldengreek · 04-08-11, 12:42 AM

Portland !!!!

Best play on the board tomorrow

NBA_Brosuf · 04-08-11, 12:45 AM

logic shows this.
If A > B and B > C then A> C

Portland Beats Utah
Utah beats Lakers
therefore
Portland beats lakers

looks good on paper thus far

Lakers early line shows -1.5

Marcus CambyFDay-to-Day (strained neck)
Greg OdenCOut For Season (knee injury)
Elliot WilliamsGOut For Season (knee injury)

Lakers lost 3 in a row straight up. Are they bound for a win? Are they not an elite team? Elite teams don't normally lose 4 in a row right?

syn^ · 04-08-11, 02:16 AM

I dunno I think Lakers show up tonight. They need this win or they might get bumped to third by Dallas.

hawley · 04-08-11, 02:24 AM

Why you like it GG?

Its about the same line that the Lakers had that time when they went to OT and beat the Blazers?

we all know that logic almost never works out and that is not the reason to pick portland. The reason to pick portland would be because lakers may play all their bench and not care again and if blake is on the court portland wins LOL.

NBA_Brosuf · 04-08-11, 02:27 AM

I love it when a top seeded team lose to an upset and their next game, their given spread point is on a discount.

Had lakers running on a 3 games winning streak by blowouts, would they still be favor by -1.5 points? I don't think so.

I'm going to buy me some lakers right now. Actually, I'm buying kobe. I'm paying to see the guy performs well and dances fancy in front of the portland's crowd.

Lakers also owned Portland in their series.

Jackson said after the Lakers losses he wont be resting starters so they get back in form ahead of playoffs

WHo knows if he backs that up

BiePoker · 04-08-11, 03:50 AM

Lakers? hahaha.... Portland will smash them

WiseGrumpy · 04-08-11, 06:42 AM

I never like betting against the Lakers especially when they are on a losing streak. The thing is the Lakers don't cover most of the times, but today it's almost a PK game.
I def think this one is a no bet type of a game.

My thoughts exactly. This is one of those games where you have a bunch of reasons to pick either side.

TrafalgarLaw · 04-08-11, 06:55 AM

LAL 3 loose in a row. LAL win and end of siries 4-0.

MarlinsFan2212 · 04-08-11, 07:05 AM

I dont like betting vs LA in a slump either, but Im on Portland. The Rose Garden is true home-court advantage, and Portland need this game a lot more than LA.
Portland doesnt want to play LA in the first round and LA cant Pass SAS.

MrXYZ · 04-08-11, 08:45 AM

Being the last game on the card it'll have a tonne of cash thrown at it. The public are convinced Lakers can't lose 3 in a row. They may be right. I may join them and take Lakers -1.5 to -2.5.

-Lakers record is @ Portland is a staggering 7-28 S/U since 1992

-The game you mentioned.. the blazers blew a 7 point lead in the final minute

-All the squares will be on the Lakers thinking that they wont lose 4 in a row...Read all the comments in this thread ( why not? SA lost 6 in a row)

-Triple revenge game for Portland

top310 · 04-08-11, 08:54 AM

Just waiting for the public to keep
smashing the Lakers

politicin · 04-08-11, 08:56 AM

Game is either Portland or a no play. Simple as that. To back the Lakers at this stage of the game is just stupidity.

MrXYZ · 04-08-11, 09:05 AM

Yeah, I've spent too much time thinking about this game & it's probably a better idea to stay out of it.

has nothing to do with it bro. They loast 3 straight last year and won the playoffs so what's one more loss go to do with being an elite team or not. Didn't they lose 4 straight this season? At least 3 I believe.
