Default Portland +9 at Golden State

What is going on with these lines?

Last time, vs. the lakers +7?

Have the odds makers gone crazy over Golden State? I picked the Lakers to win for +240...Considering taking Portland to win too. If not, definitely in for +9.

Seriously though, why have they been favored in these games?

Probably because Golden State swept Portland last year by an average of 11 points? I don't use these type of stats, but most bettors do--and that's who the lines are for.

The Portland team of last year is VERY different from this years team.

I expect Brandon Roy to win rookie of the year.

Every team is different from year to year, but a majority of bettors don't understand that.

Roy is my rookie of the year pick as well, but he's not going to have the impact of, say, Chris Paul. They're still going to be one of the worst teams in basketball, while Golden State is expected to be much improved, and even a playoff contender.

I think im [censored]. I seen the line (Port +9) and took GS with the ML.

As soon as I confirmed my bet I asked my main man on the NBA (my 16 year old son) and he said GS is garbage.

Bye bye one unit. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
