im on the clipps as well.  already locked at -2

i see this line moving up. 

random question, aswer if you will.

who is that on your avitar?  most people put up pics of porn stars or random person.  that looks like it could be your gf in real life?  the photo is so unassuming?  just curious.

If anything it'll be an average play of 2 units.

I hear that, especially at the Rose Garden.  But I think if they are without Aldridge again, Camby is going to have issues dealing with Blake, Jordan, Martin, Evans on the boards.  I can't go against the team that will dominate the glass. Not on a small number of 2.

Liking the Clippers as well.  You don't like anything from the earlier games?  Was leaning Nets and Bulls though I'm not sure if I'll be playing anything tonight.  Thursdays either sweep me or I sweep it.  But being the degenerate I am.. I may want to get some action. 

that one sticks out for some reason.  funny shit. 

degenerates we are. so true.  as long as you arent losing your ass and you have your priorities in life.  this should be for fun.  do like the clipps indeed for many reasons.   glad thatsag and you are on the same page.  hopefully tonight is the first win for the clipps at the rose garden in over 3yrs!

Agree with your reasoning. However, what worries me is that they won the rebounding edge last time in the Rose Garden, but still lost by 8. Also, they recently outrebounded the Mavs 50-36 in Dallas but dropped that game as well.

Good point.  The Dallas they had a great opportunity to win, if Bultler hits that 3 in the final seconds, Clippers probably win.  But "if" didn't happen so they lost.  The last time in Portland strangely Portland was -5.5.  Today Portland is +2.  That's one hell of a red flag if you ask me.  Sure Portland won't have Aldridge, and the Clippers have added K Mart and lost Billups, but no way in hell does that justify a 7.5 point swing. 

I'm following the wise guys on this one. 

Like this point. Am leaning Clippers, but the line is messing with my head lol. Just trying to play devil's advocate here. In the past week, I've seen a few noticeable games with a line of -2.

Last week, it was OKC/Utah with many thinking Utah could hang with OKC. Ultimately, they lost 101-87. The oddsmakers proceeded to make then 13 point underdogs in OKC, an 11 point swing. OKC easily covered.

A couple days ago, Miami played Indiana, blew them out easy.

On the other side of the line, just yesterday, this same Indiana team went into Cleveland as 2 point favorites and they were blown out.

Just some observations I made. It looks like when there is a clear talent advantagae, this line serves nothing more than to attempt to create equal sides. It doesn't seem to be working in this case, which is a little unnerving.

Hey thatsagoodone, good to see you are doing good keep up the great work

Going to see the Clips Saturday against the 9 wins in a row San Antonio Spurs It's a day game and will cruise around downtown before the game then it's off to Hollywood after the game.

Best of luck

No opinion really on the early games.  I have problems feeling out New Jesey same with Chicago.
