    Portland Trail Blazers (-4) will win going away tonight

    This is a revenge spot for the Blazers. The Pelicans embarrassed them last year in the playoffs, sweeping them 4-0. Tonight, Portland exacts some revenge and wins by double digits. Pelicans are a little banged up and in the second game of a back to back after losing at State last night. Portland is coming off a road trip which is typically a good reason to fade a team but not in this spot. Lillard and McCollum will go off.

    4 unit play on Blazers -4 -110

    And the aforementioned revenge. Those are all fairly significant factors.

    You’re right. As for the matchup, a big part of their number was how they played the 2 guard defensively in the playoffs.

    2 things: probably wouldn’t play it that aggressively in a regular season game

    They don’t have the same personnel to do what they did to blazers in playoffs. Rondo and holiday were the PERFECT combo to run the aggressive full court in their face defense with their length etc

    Davis is banged up, back2back and blazers at home with it meaning more. Blazers win tonight.

    Rondo played a major factor in that series. You’re absolutely right.

    Yes his and holiday size. They also have a little bit more shooting this season for the blazers should help beat that kind of coverage if used. And helped a bit that holiday played out of his mind for a 3 week stretch.

    As ans said, a big part of that 4-0 sweep was how pelicans pressured the guards and they no longer have the players to do that and you would be unlikely to see that in reg season anyways.

    Got the Portland ML myself to close out a parlay. Agree with everything said here, but AD always scares me. Guy is a monster. At least he’s banged up and on a back to back.

    Pelicans dominating in the playoff was much more then rondo defense - he wasn’t even there best defensive guard- holiday is - This sets up for Portland 2 win - doesn’t mean they will -
    Pelicans present lots of problems on offense

    Ok but do you really expect them to play that kind of defense in the regular season?

    I didn’t say anything about defense for Tonight game- Pelicans got the 2nd best offense in the NBA behind GSW right now - Mirotic and AD up front will score whatever they want tonight - Can CJ and dame match that ? Over should be consider

    Not betting this game - maybe the over - 80% AD is still the best player on the court most nights -

    Won't bet anything NBA until 30 minutes before gametime. You never know who they are going to rest at the last minute.

    Rondo and holiday were equally as important in that series on defense. If one of the two guards go off the entire plan doesn't work. It was literally a guard in their face with a second defender right behind (whcih you're enabled to do easier with a long defender as the primary)

    They pretty much just banked AD would stop the paint and no other blazers could consistently shoot whcih was true.

    Better shooters this year. Less defenders for Pelicans. Regular season. Means more to blazers. Blazers at home. Pelicans back to back. Ad banged up.

    AD is the best player on court most night so always a chance in any game for Pelicans, but blazers have edge tonight.

    Wizzle, I'm tailing small for amusement (and revenge) purposes. I studied this game but got scared away because I get weary of teams returning home from cross country road trips. These guys bang a lotta broads on the road, particularly on the other side of the country.

    Pelicans have lost 3 in a row and usually play well on b2b for some reason

    Blazers core guys are a pretty coupled up/married bunch that bring their girls on the road with them often times, if that helps your concerns at all lol

    It’s kinda funny too, Lillard and CJ girls pretty average to below avg. although CJ does bring him food to every shoot around and sits and waits till he’s done lol

    Nurk is wifed up to a pretty hot chick and is creeping in every club in Portland every weekend his girl is back in her home country

    Evan turner has his guys pick girls out of the crowds during games and gets their number

    I also banged/worked with moe harkless girl 😂😂 he’s wifed up now. She’s sent me pics of him in pajamas


    Needless to say besides being a season ticket holder the last 7 years until I moved to Vegas I follow the team fairly well 😂😂

    Allen crabbe used to fly girls out when he was on the road, but he wouldn’t let the girls stay in the hotel he was at, he would book a shitty hotel in the area 😂😂😂😂 although his salary was pretty low as a blazer. But rumor has it he would have 4-5 girls on every road trip

    I did some work in Crabbe's house when he was in Portland - he had a couch and ottoman that was the size of a large bedroom. I jokingly nicknamed it the orgy couch to the guys I was working with..... sounds like I nailed it. There was probably more skank dna on that thing than a whorehouse

    btw.... he had a pretty fat salary - 75 million over 4 years. One of the worst contracts the Blazers signed recently. His house was sick. 6,000sf in a super nice suburb.

    I'm a bit worried about the Blazers tonight but w/o A Davis it helps. Holiday just killed us in the playoffs. Rondo too for sure. Blazers back court just plays no D. If they are on and can light it up they can beat anyone but it's just hard to say if they will show up.
