    Portland -3.5 tonight vs. Denver.

    I see a lot of shops at 4, I couldn't find 3 anywhere, but regardless of what you get, I think it'll be a comfortable win for Portland tonight. Portland has a good crowd, should be 8,000 fans there tonight, which is about half capacity. Denver has proven that they have no answers for Dame Lillard (now they are trying to switch their PF onto him because absolutely no one else on this team can cover him), and Jokic has been hitting every single shot he's taken. If you hold Jokic to like 50% shooting, I don't think this team has any chance. There is just way too much pressure on his shoulders. Most of the guys on Denver's bench are straight bums.

    Portland just has too many weapons here and they are in a perfect spot with the series split at 1. I expect them to take both games at home and take a commanding 3-1 lead in this series.

    Thanks Goat Milk.
    Was leaning portland already. This confirms it.
    Seeing even split between -3.5 and -4.0 across the books. Fortunately, one of mine has it at -3.5.

    I forecast this game as a tie, but as you all know it's the heat of the playoffs and while it's useful in understanding why the market is where it is, or why money is where it is, forecasts and data only go so far by game tip.

    Then it's playoff action.

    Dame Dollar at home, not a bad thing to put your money behind.

    Good Luck GOAT!

    I played the series line laying -125 with the Blazers. I know its square city and I took the worst of the pricing. Bottom line Portland has been running hot as of late and I was seeking French Open funding.

    As for tonight I made a small ML wager on Portland. I'll be disappointed in the event it fails to cash.

    Lillard needs to get his teammates involved more, we know he can score, but he has to do more. Portland’s bench was a zero in game 2 because he didn’t pass at all for long fatter he’s during the game. Portland is better when their offense is balanced an Dame takes over late, he shot too much early in the game and most of Portland’s players didn’t get into rhythm.

    Nuggets are better without Porter. Talented shooter but he's basically just a taller/ less intelligent Dougie McDermott.

    Selfish & stupid player, holds others back. Nuggets taking off with him on the bench.

    Funny to see Lillard losing his cool with Campazzo. American ballers have a culture of not playing hard, so when they go against someone tough they take it personally. All the Argentine players get this reaction when they come into the league.

    Portland just beats themselves at times

    hate it

    CJ gets a steal they a bit of an advantage and he just pulls up and jacks a 3 and misses

    .... couple minutes later and they are STILL stuck on 43 points now... just how they were stuck on 26 forever while playing atrocious horrible offense and defense

    portland went in to half time and said "our strategy for the 2h will be to jack a 3 pointer as fast as we can"

    2 pt game and then in the blink of an eye denver is up 11 because of these 3 point jacking, iso ball idiots

    portland ties it at 91

    gets a stop: CJ decides to try to run it out himself and leaves his team behind him and gets it poked away from him and saved for a steal ...

    portland gets more stops comes down and Lillard decides to chuck a 3 from the logo... brick city

    so once again, Portland made a run and tied it at 91 and got stops twice and had the ball and this is what their

    2 best players did

    out of control turnover trying to outrun all of denver by CJ

    Dame decides to chuck it from 35 when he hasn't hit anything in the 2nd half...


    game was lost RIGHT THERE

    they are so dumb it's starting to become mind boggling

    what's the difference... still a stupid decision for a team that was on a run and had the game tied and he doesn't slow down and wait for his team to get setup to run some actual offense?
