ROCKETS 3.5 Hawks
SPURS 9.5 Clippers
SUNS 9.5 Nuggets
JAZZ 2 Bucks

I don't know about you guys but if I am getting 7-9 points then I will take Portland on opening night. Welcome opinions...

 

[Super Idiota]

I like Portland + the points as well!!!

 

[IK]

great idea guys...you're right ....helps the NBA withdrawl...I'll play into your lines as follows....

Blazers must get 7 to play
Kings -5.5 becomes a very large play for me
Clippers +9..I'm on it
Knicks -2/3..I'd play against MJ
C's ???? if a dog against Cavs , another big play....

 

[TIME TO MAKE $$$]

PORTLAND GOTY, LOL


Just kiding , Blazers anything above 6-8 would be a great play.

We are in this together

If the Kings come out at only -5.5 vs. the Sonics, I will load up big-time on Sacramento. Seattle still with no effective big-man and not much quality/healthy bench depth. I'm expecting a 15+ point Sacramento win, at least.

And the opening lines were...

Boston 1.5 Cleveland
New York 6 Washington
New Jersey 3.5 Indiana
Orlando 4 Toronto
Minnesota 8.5 Philadelphia
Dallas 9.5 Detroit
Houston 5 Atlanta
San Antonio 9.5 LA Clippers
Phoenix 10.5 Denver
Utah 3.5 Milwaukee
Sacramento 7.5 Seattle
LA Lakers 7.5 Portland

 

[Randercity]

So you guys should be loving the PACERS then??? You were thinking them by 3, and instead getting 3.5!

Actually, I like the KINGS the best. Don't forget that weird little angle they have going on TUESDAY NITES at the ARCO... not as strong as two years ago, but was still effective last year when NOT laying more than 12 I think...

Ring night at the Staples Center. Bulls used to always play subpar on those nights and the Lakers were blown out by Utah on that night last season. Got to take Portland.
