Extra Humbled NBA Wedne$day

5 -2 this week

2 - 1 last night(3-1 if you count my CBB parlay but this is NBA thread, only throw those out if I REALLY like it).  Won with Nyk/Orl over and Dal/Phi under.  Lost with Hou/Port over

Really liking Portland -3 at Sacramento tomorrow night.  The Blazers have looked like shit in their last two games.  The Kings will be just what the doctor ordered for the Blazers to get back on the right track.  If not for an LBJ like performance from Marcus Thornton the other night, the Kings probably lose to the Clips.  Portland beat Sactown 94 - 90 earlier in the season at Sacramento.  Tyreke Evans had 16pts 8asts in that game.  Will Thornton be able to fill those shoes again?  If so, the Kings have a chance.  If not, Portland wins in a rout.  I like Portland's chances either way.  Camby was absent in that first game(Dante Cunningham started at C and was -11 for the game, he has since been traded) and now they have Gerald Wallace who will have another game under his belt with this team.  I LOVE Portland

Portland -3

STRONG lean towards Chicago if they are underdogs or a 3pt or less favorite.  Nothing else as of right now.  Probably will have 3 plays total.

I know man!  As bad as bad could be!  That makes me like them even more.  Kings are pretty bad too, always.  Portland is a good team who has played bad for a couple of games vs good teams.  They will turn it around  GL

Yea man!    BOL

Appreciate you're thoughts on Portland  Initial thoughts on Okc -7 was pretty much what you're thinking.  Have been home for a few days after that Lakers loss.  Indy has played some tough games the last few nights.  Looks like a good spot for OKC.  Not playing it as of now but definitely would lean in Okc's direction.  Got nothing on Den/Char.  Initial thoughts on Pho/Bos are Pho killed the Celts last time they played.  I would say Pho +7 but the "revenge factor" for Boston scares me a bit.  Plus Phoenix has played 2 ot's in their last two games, although they have a very deep team.  Tough one to call but early, not so strong lean is Pho +7. 

Good points.  Players coming back from injuries always takes time.  Look at Noah in Chicago.  Gave up 118pts to Toronto in 1st game back then played great defense vs the Miami Heat the next game.  I really think the Kings will be a great way to get back for Blazers.

Love the Bulls tmr vs. the Hawks.....

I would lean the Blazers as well but seems like they need a few more games to gel....will Roy play on a B2B? He logged over 20 mins tonight. Is Rudy going to be back? Blazers all of a sudden don't have a bench after their trade for Wallace. A lot of question marks here. Tread lightly...

Thank you for writing.  With you on the Bull$.  People are still sleeping on them.  I would rather Rudy not play and Brandon Roy with his bad knees is actually hurting this team.  Blazers going with a smaller rotation of 7 guys who will be hungry to improve upon last 2 games makes me feel better about this game.  I guess I wouldn't mind if Rudy played a little, he is just so bad sometimes when he leaves his feet for passes and can't hit a damn shot. 

good luck HUMBLE i'm staying away from portland games for now. they've burned me twice lately (vs hawks & rockets)

best of luck my friend

humbled, GL on your play. My own lean would be toward the kings. They play best at home, just beat a bad team without tyreke. no offense to you, but laying road chalk on a b2b with a slumping favorite is a bad spot. public indicators showing the mushes are coming on board too. i dunnow. last time i faded you, you cashed so...GL on the blazers.
