Out for a stroll thinking of you geeks...Merry Christmas FAMS!

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Good game to get going on the road. Never underestimate a Popovich basketball team.

 

[MickZagger]

Can we get the Vegas line on these game threads?

 

[Eastoff]

Can we get the Vegas line on these game threads?

Is that a static value?

 

[blazerkor]

Can we get the Vegas line on these game threads?

The spread is -7 for us and the money line on us is -245 for us and +205 for them so Vegas sees us as at least a 2 to 1 favorite to win this one... they're really incentivising gamblers to bet on a San Antonio win. The over/under is 230.

I like that over. -7 is too big of a line to be confident in it not getting spoiled in garbage time. Gun to my head though I’m taking Blazers -7. I’d likely stay away

Yep, they have won 3 in a row. Interesting since that was coming off of an 11-game losing streak. (and 16 of 17)

 

[AldoTrapani]

So if GP2 went out and played 10-12 min tonight what would happen to him? He’d get re-injured?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

He'd have to be re-evaluated in 2 weeks.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Any word on Dame???

 

[Irish Trader]

Trail Blazers
15-12 (17-9-1) -7.5 -320 66.1%
San Antonio Spurs
9-18 (12-15-0) 230.0 +250 33.9%

Well now heavy favorite tonight on the road for the blazers.

 

[HailBlazers]

Any word on Dame???

He's not injured so no.

 

[Mr. Robot]

spurs won three in a row (rockets, heat & cavs)

rockets suck, so no surprise there, but they won in miami and although miami sucks right now, its still a big surprise and then they won at home vs cavs who are 3rd seed as of now

games vs spurs & okc are trap games and will be competitive, we cant underestimate these teams

The Rockets did suck but do they suck now? In the last 10 games, only 2 western teams have a better record during that stretch.
(Memphis and NO)

Rockets will be in play-in race if they keep playing like this.

 

[Pinwheel1]

So Zach and Poeltl are both out tonight? Nurk needs to have a good game

 

[DDolla]

C’mon Blazers, you can’t lose this game. Must win before we go to Dallas

 

[blazerkor]

C’mon Blazers, you can’t lose this game. Must win before we go to Dallas

There is no such think as a fucking "must win" game until late in the season and there are a lot of them in the playoffs but right now... get a grip. The only thing our guys need to do is come out with a sense of urgency and show that they're going to take these upcoming games against teams with losing records seriously but throughout Dame's career we've done extremely well against teams that we're supposed to beat.

Okay so I'm on the road. Down in Benicia Ca. My link isn't available in this area for the game. Methstreams is gone.
Anyone with an idea can you pm me please?

Go to a sports bar/restaurant that has League Pass. Call around. Ask them to put it on for you. Tip well.

That might be the best bet.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Was wondering if there was a site you could pay to stream one game?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Does NBA League Pass have a free trial?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Here is free trial

Collins has had two straight complete games I been following all year due I can't see the blazers on Dish. But I was surprised he had sprang his ankle. Spurs the last 3 games actually played some good basketball.

 

[bobf]

Gooooo Blazers!!!

 

[Labinot41]

another 6 games road trip? Which idiot made that schedule

 

[Labinot41]

Go Blazers
