    Portland to possibly win nba championship

    LaMacrus Aldridge, nicolas batum, marcus camby, rudy fernandez, wesley mathews
    andre miller, brandon roy, gerald wallace

    Camby was out, roy was out, now they are back and added gerald wallace.

    In the playoffs they will not lose at home and only need to win one road game in each series.

    I know its a long shot but they shouldn't be looked over.

    YOu could argue that aldridge, camby, miller, mathews,batum is one of the best lineups. Gerald wallace and batum as a 6th and 7 man, Wow.

    Not saying there gonna win it, but i wouldn't look over them. They just beat miami and orlando on the road

    You just have to wonder what their record would be if camby, roy missed no time and they had gerald wallace all year

    Take portland tonight over charlotte in a blowout

    not a long shot

    Starting lineup of
    miller, aldridge, mathews, wallace, batum
    with camby, roy, rudy fernandez as 6 7 8 man
    Role minutes by patrick mills, jarron collins,

    Legit team. Only need to win one road game, they won't lose at home

    They ARE a longshot.
    You can get 100/1 at several Euro books (200/1 at one book). I still will not be investing anything at that level.

    Its more likely Brandon Roy plays his last career game this year than portland winning it all. His own Surgeon said he can't even last two years.

    Portland has no chance this late in the game, because of their seeding. They will finish the regular season 5th or worse, which means they will have to win 3 series out of @OKC, @SA, @LAL, and @DAL just to get to the finals, where they will be the road team again. This isn't like the Knicks making the Finals as an 8th seed in '99, when the East sucked and they beat 3 pedestrian teams to get there. I just can't see it happening this year as there are too many good teams to go through.

    I took Portland @ 100/1 for 200 dollars 2 weeks ago. Very dangerous team, but I think were one Big Man away from a title. If they draw anyone but the Lakers first round, I like their chances, but I think the Lakers size will be the downfall of Portland(until Oden returns next year)

    As you said, its one of the deepest teams, and IMO the deepest team. Fernandez, Batum, Wallace, Roy, Matthews, are interchangeable, and all capable of putting up 20 on any given night. Matthews, Batum, Wallace & Camby are all very quality defenders, so I think Portland has a punchers chance to win it all.

    Does this mean put half your bankroll on it? NO. But a small 100-500 future bet couldnt hurt.

    I love an underdog story but I'll be the first to tell you Portland has absolutely no chance of representing the West in the finals let alone winning the finals. There are just too many teams that are better and more talented in the West, a possible uspet (if you even want to call it one) could be OKC coming out of the West.

    Nobody wants to see a small town team win. Just like how the NCAA tourney was a flop since no premium teams made it deep. More money will be made when teams like LAL, BOS, MIA, CHI, NY make the finals. Stern will do everything in his power to make sure this happens.

    So what happened at the end of the game tonight? I see the final was 102-89 and the play-by-play on ESPN shows it ending at 100-89...what gives?

    good home team. def a legit team and a dark house in the playoffs. lack of a real big man might hurt them later on. camby and lamarcuss are built more like pfs.
