How big do we go on the Trail Blazers tonight?

**DudleyDawson** · 02-16-12, 11:06 AM

line up to -2.5 and back down to 2

**SpreadSniper** · 02-16-12, 11:06 AM

gonna look awfully silly if the Clips come to play tonight.....

BOL

**DudleyDawson** · 02-16-12, 11:07 AM

**DudleyDawson** · 02-16-12, 11:08 AM

62% on the Clippers. Public burial awaits tonight.

**smoke a bowl** · 02-16-12, 11:10 AM

It's 8 in the morning yo. There will be enough wanna be sharps on the Blazers to even out that percentage lol. Clips bash a weary Blazer team tonight.

**SpreadSniper** · 02-16-12, 11:18 AM

Although I do agree the line is telling you to take POR, this is a no-play for me.... The Clips kept plenty in the tank for tonight while the Blazers played the full game and squeaked out a victory. On the 3rd leg of a b2b2b and had to travel. Either way you slice it you will be sweating this game out.
It seems you are ignoring all the variables that are working against the Blazers and purely betting the line movement. The Blazers have historically owned the Clips and to think that they don't come to play tonight is silly.

**DudleyDawson** · 02-16-12, 11:23 AM

all the Clippers backers are saying to themselves after reading this "oh this fucker don't know shit, LA wins this easily" lol...I know.

It doesn't take a Clippers backer to know that you don't know shit sir.

**DudleyDawson** · 02-16-12, 11:25 AM

And now there's a pile of them trying to cancel their bets but they can't cause the line is down to -2! lol, yea I don't know shit man you're right. picked up a ** from heritage last night that confirms that. ck my posted picks record since joining like 15-2? lol. I know I know Clippers by 900 tonight, I know!

**Kalibongo** · 02-16-12, 11:29 AM

Dudley, what are your thoughts on the pics in my thread?

Yes, pics, not picks.

**QuantumLeap** · 02-16-12, 11:32 AM

Blazers barely got past Golden State last night with Monta Ellis not playing up to his potential because he was sick. A healthy Clippers team will have no problem with the Trailblazers tonight.

Agreed, I'm thinking Clippers win something like 122-66. complete blowout! oh yea why did the clippers come out only -1.5?

**FlipsideRM** · 02-16-12, 11:40 AM

Blazers roll by 10+.

Good luck

**PS3** · 02-16-12, 11:44 AM

Not touching this game tho i got POR +4 [-111] at my local bookie and was also leaning POR.

BOL to everyone!

**Wrecked** · 02-16-12, 11:51 AM

Blazers is the play!

**onlooker** · 02-16-12, 11:56 AM

Blazers or nothing.

But...

Not touching. I can't play the Blazers without LA and being their 3rd game of a B2B2B.

Good luck everyone.

You say "only"??

What are these 2 teams record vs each other over the last 10 games?

Who has home court?

Portland is and has been one of the better home teams over the last few years so Im curious, factoring in what I have mentioned, what do you think the line should have been?

**MarlinsFan2212** · 02-16-12, 12:05 PM

Do Books have Aldridge out? I dont think hes playing tonight.

Very confused why the Blazers are only +110 on a back to back to back with their best player out?

I think the line will grow once Aldridge is confirmed out for tonight. I would wait on it, and take Blazers + points.

**jjgold** · 02-16-12, 12:20 PM

I pounded Clippers

This really looks easy

2h under...

**JnFUnknown** · 02-16-12, 12:47 PM

take the clipper to beat up the blazer

**Big Bear** · 02-16-12, 12:49 PM

well the blazers do owe me money from that valentines day massacre but i don't trust them.

**E in AZ** · 02-16-12, 01:12 PM

You all know Aldridge is out and this isn't Golden State they are playing, right? Portland might have been the play last night, but not tonight.

You don't think they would be favored if LA was playing?

Rose Garden, Clips on a B2B, a couple reasons they aren't favored by more.

Line looks right to me.

yes we know. Clippers are free money tonight, we need everyone on them 100% of the public. New ray-bans for the outfield!

**CarpeDime** · 02-16-12, 01:24 PM

correct. I don't even need to look to know what the line is now cause I know the books are dangling -2 and maybe -1.5 to the squares.

This line is just taking advantage of all the people that are overvaluing aldridge. How many people are like "OMG ALDRIGDEEE IS OUT SLAM CLIPPERZZZ". Pretty much all of them. How many of them even realize what the line would be w/ aldridge and realize that the difference between that line and this line is a HUGE overreaction.

The books love this spot, because all the smart people are slamming portland and the public is slamming the clippers. They are throwing the sharps a bone here and raking in a mass amount of juice because everyone thinks (sharps and squares) that there is just soo much value on this game.

What do you think the right line is with Aldridge in the lineup?
