I agree with all of your reasoning but I think Lillard and McCollum will make shots and plays tonight. Clippers will win this series for sure but they always seem to let teams hang around. It's tough to handicap a team that relies on guard play so heavily like Portland but I just feel like tonight they'll both play well.
All Plays: March 7th through NBA Finals

#878Lillard has been in the last two years. You don't remember the shot he hit to beat the Rockets? McCollum got some playing time and did pretty well against Memphis last year but this season was his coming out party. He's got a pure stroke.Comment -

#883clips look awful.. i think you got this one right. I dont see them winning by 8 or 9 here. I understand its very early, but this just doesnt look like the clips can possibly blow this game open. Much lower scoring than expected too. Clips have not got their 3 point shooter, Redick, going.Comment -

#886Man, i have been getting lucky in these NBA games today.. Besides Spurs -17. I had Spurs 1q -5.5, spurs 1h -10.5. They both needed late runs to cover... And this one too. 11-2 run to win by 8 for the half.. Thats just pure luck on my end. You had the right bet, i dont even feel like i should have won that bet.. I feel for you man.. Thats some shit that would piss me off very bad.Comment -

#903F*cking OKC.
I figured Dallas would cover because they were going to make adjustments and OKC wasn't since they just won by 40.....but to lose at home to this Mavs team? WTF.
Donovan has been a failure. Bringing in a college coach to lead a team that should contend wasn't a good move for Chicago and it's turning out to be a bad move for OKC.
When you have two of the top 5 players in the world you're going to win some games regardless of whose coaching. Donovan hasn't really improved this team or taken them to the next level.Comment -

Did you see that play where Matthews stole it? If Durant runs him down he gets a lebron type chasedown block EASILY.Comment -

#908You guys will still beat us easily (this game is essentially a repeat of the Nate Robinson Bulls winning in Miami in 2013), but obviously you're probably more worried about the second round. James Harden was such a key factor in the 2012 series, honestly it's hard to see OKC beating the Spurs again without him, on top of all the other personnel changes since then. The current Spurs team really match up well too imo.Comment -

Deep down I kind of knew this but the fan in me tried to talk myself out of it before the playoffs.
With two top 5 players, a second round exit just isn't good enough imo. I can't use the "they're only 22 year olds" excuse anymore. These guys have been in the league a while now and are in the middle of their prime.
They run sets and feed Adams in the pick and roll for the first three quarters and look ok most of the time but in crunch time it's a bunch of hero ball.Comment -

Do I think Dallas has any chance to beat OKC in the series? Nope. Like literally zero. But when game 3 tips off, I'll ditch that thought. Until the Thunder are up 20 in the 2nd quarter. lol.Comment
