portland dallas game 1

[kaz127]

line is at 5 or 5.5 some places dallas to me look in poor form last game is misleading despite the blowout of the hornets, portland won past 2 meeting both in rose garden and were on for a blowout before resting their starters in 4th

im thinking of buying 1.5 points and taking portland plus 7 at -140 seems solid to me

Vegas knows everybody is doubting the mavs... So what do they do they make them 5.5 pt faves!!! Even though dallas ha a rep of first round folds i feel they will come out on fire in gm 1... IMO their playoffs are ridin on the first quarter in this game... If they give the blazers any hope theyre in trouble... GL!!!

yeah, i expect to see a showing from dallas game 1.

[kaz127]

not really good logic for betting a game, i mean very easy to counter with portland will come out blazing and go 3 0 vs dallas in hu and take series lead, esp based on fact that they have momentum coming into the playoffs and dallas hav been so indifferent

If you are going to take the Blazers, don't bother buying the points. Laying an extra 30 is ridiculous for 1.5 points.

this is a no brainer.. dallas all the way.. portland have no chance beating dallas in the series.. def not game 1..

Dallas wins, but Portland will keep it really close. Shoul be a good one.

[kaz127]

agreed if im gonna buy points better to buy 3 for -170 and hav +8.5 this returns 60% on investment as opposed to 71.5 with buying 1.5 points

Blazers and under for me! BOL

[politicin]

Love Portland on the spread here

Portland at +5 is a great value. They split the series in regular season play 2-2 and the two losses were very close games. This should be a pretty big play.
