10:05 EST - Orlando Magic @ Portland Trailblazers

wow 8:0 unreal nba is such bullshit 9 point quarters WOW WTF

Slow start.. but still 42 minutes to get their head out of their asses.  This is RIP City.. they don't give up games here without a fight.

Orlando is making just ridiculous shots.  When these bombs stop falling Portland will be right back in it.  63% from the field and 4/6 from beyond the arc including that last one which should have been worth 4.

6 of 8 from behind the 3 point line against the best team in the league at defending the 3.  This is one of those how the f%#k did they just do that moments!

6 out of 8 3-pointers by the Magic (75%) in the 1st.

We should see a reversal of the first quarter score in the second as the Magic's shooting comes back to earth.  If you have live betting, pound Portland

UNREAL!  FUCKING MISS ALREADY! 

Blazers playing like they r back in phoenix...

Magic can't miss from deep right now, everything they throw up is dropping.

blazers are done.

They got a halfs worth of points in 14mins of basketball.  Can you say...RED HOT?

It's not so much on the Blazers as Orlando is shooting 71% from the field and 7/10 from behind the arc!  These numbers are unreal on the road against a defense as tough as Portland.

Not to mention, the Blazers haven't gone to the free throw line once!  All of these are statistical anomalies of epic proportion.

Orlando is playing ridiculous right now

THE BOOKIES KNEW BRO, NOTHING WE CAN DO

Portland in the bonus, they need to continue to attack for the next 7mins and they can easily get this down to a 10pt game...assuming Orlando doesn't continue at a 60%+ clip...

I should hope not!  I had Orlando shooting 45% tonight and 33% from 3... they're WAY ahead of those numbers.  Let's get some regression to the mean... let's go Trailblazers 

Orlando on pace to nail 20+ 3's tonight...can't handicap that

You're always so negative

Orlando attempts the second most 3's per game at 24.3.  Portland holds opponents to a 35.6 eFG% from behind the arc (that's #1 in the NBA).  Run those numbers and after rounding up you can expect Orlando to make 9 three pointers in this entire game on 24 attempts.  They've already made 10 on only 15 attempts.  Maybe they'll go on an 0-9 run?

orlando is playing like that nba finals run in 2009

i mean in the playoffs when they knocked off the cavs

I don't trust Orlando defensively to hold this type of lead, but if they continue at even half this current rate they should be able to hold on....unfortunately they'd need a 0-9 streak from deep...while Portland keeps killing it at the stripe to get back into this.

just hack-a-howard every possession

Portland just needs to keep attacking.  Howard is the only shot blocking threat on the court for the Magic.
