I'm liking OKC, they are firing on all cylinders.

How are the LA Fakers -6 in Golden State, yet OKC is just -4.5 in Portland ?

All 4 teams have rest, so that's no excuse. Portland post-trade is on about the same level as GS, and OKC is clearly a far better team than the Fakers

Jus thinkin the same thing PR

Trap, and I can easily figure out the angle.

Letdown spot for OKC, big time. Plus, what does OKC care about this game anyway? Portland: Revenge angle after dropping that one in Overtime that they should've won (got robbed) and they simply need some big time wins to keep the crowd happy. Also, they are not that bad.

okc easy win, they are on fire

Don't think I can resist taking the thunder in this spot.

As a thunder fan I think thunder have taken the foot off the pedal a little bit in the past few weeks (heat game excluded), but portland are somewhere in between horrible and crap at the moment.

Given these teams' recent form, there's no reason OKC shouldn't cover. But it could be a trap, who knows. I'm still putting two units on them and on the Warriors. Aside from the Mavs, the Lakers haven't beat a team on the road this season by more than 5 points. And after the crappy home performance against Memphis, I see no reason to back them.

Felton will now miss Tuesday's matchup with Oklahoma City due to "family reasons," the Blazersedge reports. (about 1 hour ago)

it was the game vs. OKC at the RG that turned everything around for the Blazers. Maybe if the call wasn't goaltending, there won't be any significant trades. It was very disheartening.

okc will cover easy

Exactly PR, if the line wasn't suspect okc would be giving 6.5 minimum. While I don like to use the Hollywood takers as a barometer, the line says it all. Okc is the equivalent of Miami in the west or in other words the consensus favorite and their lines are easily inflated in spots like this.

Don't forget that while the blazers have been slumping, there I'd nothing else in Portland Oregon on a professional sport level for besides the rose garden. I doubt David stern is overlooks that in his revenue statement

Hollywood fakers

I would say Portland is as far north as crap as possible-you just don't play as poor and with lack of fire as Portland does. I feel weird using the word play in post that contains Portland NBA team.
