well looks like someone put the whole of America's economy (which isn't much these days) onto Portland to move the line from -9 -----> -11

or maybe it was because Charlotte played Overtime last night and came away with a WIN in Los Angeles, but automatically i must think that Charlotte can hang with Portland here....but with the B2B situation .... i'll hang my hat until i see some line action from the -11

Wallace is not going to play and that is why the line moved so much. I live in NC and this team has alot of chemistry right now and they are playing as a unit. Their defense is why they stay in every ballgame. Give me the 11.5 all day long without Wallace

Yea keep inching the line on up I'm not afraid of going against the Blazers a team I feel is just a tad bit overrated. I dont think the Cats will be spent from last nights game. I actually think its going to give them a lift to cover this generous number. CHA +11.5

I currently switched from Sportsbook to the Greek.

The Greek had suggested that I use a bank credit card, it’s a pay as you go credit card,  Which I though was pretty good. Until recently I tried to make a deposit into my bank card and the money was not credited to my account. bank had said that I had a negative balance and they took it out of the money I had just deposited. bank was blaming the Greek for making a force transaction and not collecting on a transaction from the previous week. The Greek said they would not make a transaction without the customer’s request.

 

After about 2 hours of going back and forth calling each company. I was finally told by the Greek that they can do nothing about it. Each one was blaming the other. The Greek finally called it a Glich! bank says that it will take 7 days and the Greek say it can take up to 30 days for bank to credit my card. They wasted a lot of my time and they could not help me.

 

Right now I have to wait for bank to release my funds so I cannot wager on the superbowl. The Greek is the most uncaring company that I have ever done business with they could care less about any of their customers. They don’t care about the bad press. I’m telling my friend not to use them and to cancel their accounts.

 

Figure I would share my unpleasant experiences at the Greek. A+ my ass!!!

 

DO NOT USE THE GREEK or bank!!!!

I hear you on the team chemistry, defensive tenacity front, but from what I saw last night Charlotte gets a ton of thier offense from Wallace.

Can enough (or any one) of those other guys pick up the slack?

I like them, but I was also leaning Portland after the double-overtime night.

What's a flight from LA to Portland?  At least 4 hours?  That game wasn't over until 11 pm.  When's that put them in Portland?  

5am-ish?

Bobcats are a tough defensive team. They are much improved team since the Diaw/Bell trade. The only reason the Lakers came close was because the Bobcats missed their free throws towards the end of the 4th qtr.
 
I also think too much negative stock is put into back to back games. It's a factor, just not an X-factor. Portland is good but a bit overated. They're not playing the Clippers or the Wizards tonight so there's no reason they should be favored by double digits for the 3rd straight game. Portland is also missing Steve Blake which is a good outside threat. Wallace will be missed as well, but someone will step up and pick up the slack. This is the NBA and these guys are engineered to play like machines.
 
I love the Bobcats +12

Guessed on the under 89 2H very small.  Looks good though, eh?  Knew the legs would get to Charlotte and Portland knew they could cruise. I love halfs....so much more value. Never certain, but it's a lot better than wondering what personnel are playing (and playing well). Look at Louisville tonight....1H feel-out-city and 2H to the bank. Have many key situations I lay off of including 1H blowouts which could change 2H lineups.....scrub time. Depending on the teams, I normally take the under 2H on those unless there is a low "smart" line.
