Portland 2nd Half Anyone?

nick86 · 03-03-12, 11:14 PM

Hmmmmmmmm I'm leaning towards minnesota plus 4.5

blacknwhite · 03-03-12, 11:15 PM

im tempted to go over 98.5 just because.. i know the pace will slow down but still =P

Speedy88 · 03-03-12, 11:15 PM

No way is Minnesota going to shoot 70% from beyond the arc the rest of the game. Nate McMillan is a defensive minded coach, he is likely chewing them out in the locker room right now. I'd expect Portland to be ready in the 2nd half.

Portland has been a good 2nd half team this year as well.

Well don't hold me accountable. Let me be the first to say that I'm 0-2 today (Mavs -7 and Pistons +7.5), but my opinion on the game is Portland -5 2H.

No worries man. Let's go get it.

blacknwhite · 03-03-12, 11:19 PM

remember no Camby, and the wolves are a good away team.

Bbr · 03-03-12, 11:20 PM

lets get it!

Speedy88 · 03-03-12, 11:20 PM

wow line keeps moving up. -4.5 2H and now it is -5.5 2H.

And no Camby is no problem. They got Pryzbilla now, who is better than Camby.

Bbr · 03-03-12, 11:22 PM

camby doesnt do much in regards to scoring and rebounding anyway :S

blacknwhite · 03-03-12, 11:22 PM

sorry, pryzbilla is not better than camby.
you dont need offense from camby, you need DEFENSE..

blazers have so many weapons on O -o-

Bbr · 03-03-12, 11:23 PM

I expect aldridge to come out firing.

Mikail · 03-03-12, 11:24 PM

Twolves win the game.

I watch every Blazers game. Camby is a solid and very serviceable center, but Pryzbilla does everything Camby does but is a superior low post defender.

You've watched the single game that he played vs. the heat this season, in which he seemed completely out of shape?

Watched nearly every Portland game the past 4 years. I'll take a healthy Pryz over a healthy Camby any day.

alamo · 03-03-12, 11:31 PM

Wesley Johnson with 4 PF already. Wolves got some serious foul problems

blacknwhite · 03-03-12, 11:32 PM

thats okay, I stayed away
no need to debate about useless stuff =P
just got over 196.5 points, should hit with ease, hopefully?

BOL on 2nd half, might add a live play depending on how it goes

paco · 03-03-12, 11:34 PM

Wolves are a good road team and they been on fire today...

Stayed away too, just hoping the t-wolves cover the 6.5 for me. Im still furious from that Dallas game earlier.

blacknwhite · 03-03-12, 11:41 PM

basketball has turned into such a flop sport

Hoopster17 · 03-03-12, 11:46 PM

solid call

Bbr · 03-03-12, 11:47 PM

hmmmmm blazers need a run big time.

Bbr · 03-04-12, 12:01 AM

Wolves have so much depth.

Pauulzcappin · 03-04-12, 12:10 AM

Portland is about to bury me 10 feet under

Mikail · 03-04-12, 12:11 AM

I tried to tell ya!

Clippers pulled this exact same crap last night.

nick86 · 03-04-12, 12:40 AM

damn it should of listened to my gut instinct!!!

Speedy88 · 03-04-12, 12:40 AM

Sorry guys, just wasn't our day. I turned off the Portland game once I saw them go down 7.

Might need a little all-star break for myself coming up here. What looked to be a solid day ended up being a horrible day.

pint86 · 03-04-12, 12:46 AM

Had the same play, didn't see the thread until now.
Let me just say rough day at the office.

Speedy88 · 03-04-12, 12:48 AM

Portland is looking more like a lottery team each time I see them. I gotta say, Jamal Crawford is not the best fit for Portland. And they need to get rid of that bum Raymond Felton.

I had Portland this game, thought they would come out mad after watching Miami destroy them...

I couldn't stand watching them let Kevin Love do whatever he wanted down low. They couldn't get a defensive rebound to save their lives. Think it's safe to say at this point that Blazers are great fade material for the rest of the year.
