Why? Both teams play B2B, Portland needs the game more, two teams hate each other after preseason game between them...
Clippers cemented in the 4th spot... See no value there to be honest...

I like the Bulls here... off that loss tonight...
 
Blazers fall under BC's trend:
West - 2nd game as a Dog vs. Conf. teams .............. 22-57-1 (3-9-1 <wbr>in 14-15)
 
Played Bulls -4.5 as main bet and Under in Oklahoma as small bet.
Days of the week point towards the Under and Oklahoma usually plays Under at home, with such low totals and Utah usually plays Under on the road with such high totals :)
 
What's CLE ATS on the road against "bad" teams? Can't be good. I don't sense a lot of pep in their step, but they're pretty squirrelly.
 
LeBron had a meeting with Lue and the Cavs GM about his recent behaviour,

which included laughing and joking around with Wade at halftime in Miami while his teammates were warming up,

a game they lost by 20+.

To answer Tip's question, Cavs are 16-27-2 ATS on the road vs 'losing' teams since LeDouche came back home to Ohio.
 
Pick your poison in the late night Hollywood tilt,

Home teams off a 5+ road trip, playing on no rest are 5-15 ATS since 2010.
 
Clippers also haven't won and covered 3-straight vs the Blazers in forever, have to go back to 2002 into 2003 the last time it occurred.

Maybe the most immature veteran the league has ever seen.
 
I have a hard time defending Bron in astute circles like these. I cannot applaud him enough for his success and the way he stays out of trouble and earns millions, from a broken home in Akron. I just wish he had more of a mean streak when he's on my team.

I listened to an interesting theory on Lebron's psychology, I apologize I can't remember who was saying it, but guy's point was basically,

Lebron came from a different place than Jordan or Steph or Kobe. He bounced around in public housing. Is an NBA championship as important to him as those guys? Fuck no, he used to not know about breakfast, lunch or dinner. He has more perspective. He just wants his family to be rich, that's his championship.

Yet he talks about taking a pay cut to play with his 'buddies'.
 
That's part of the package. He's a weird guy, but I'll take him.

College would have changed him. Still strongly believe that. He beats to his own drum.

Lebron has been treated like a king since he was a preteen and the social media scene is COMPLETELY different than Kobe & Jordan's days.


Thats the difference.

The impact social media has had on the NBA is both good and bad. All these guys are buddy buddy now. It sucks.

That is possibly the worst point I've ever heard. How does that even make sense to the person who wrote/said it? All we hear from ANY athlete who grew up in those conditions is that THAT is the reason they have the hunger and will to succeed that they do. It is literally the mantra for any athlete/entertainer/human who grew up in poverty or poor conditions.

The reason he's different is pretty f'ing simple...he was coddled since a young kid and was told how great he is by anyone with a pulse. He is pretty much the walking example of what our country has become. He's Captian Douchebag for the Douchebag generation.

He's definitely coddled. Now. He wasn't coddled when he was 12.

I think it's hard to walk in his shoes. Don't get me wrong, I've loved/hated/loved/hated him as a guy. He's a flake.
 
Lar, guy's point was this.

Get out of ghetto
Become a millionaire
Become a billionaire

Guy's point didn't have to do with championships. I think I care more about it than Lebron does. And please let it be the Indians.

Right, not 12. It started when he was about 15. Same difference Tip.
 
It's hard to walk in his shoes? Lol how so? literally or figuratively? :)


Having a good home life most likely would have made him a much different person. Both Jordan and Kobe had people in their personal lives to help make them who they are. If that's what that guy meant I somewhat agree. Lebron was dubbed the next Jordan before he was 16-17... That's another contributing factor to his makeup. No where close to Jordan or Kobe imho. More like magic

How many more years does Lebron have left on top of the mountain? 5?
 
Bron on top? Last year was his last.
Players that can't shoot don't age well...
Bron not as strong as he was and can't "switch it on" for as many minutes as he could before and it will only get worse...
Playing each season as much as he had, doesn't help either. He really should quit USA NT...
