after that joke of a game last night, I debated to post ... but for the life of me, I cant see why this line is -1 ... I tried checking toronto newspaper but cant access it right now...
i have read about disarray in port: Reuben Patterson blasting management after 4th straight crushing saying team is too young; and thats not mentioning how blazers are worst shooting team imgainable ...
zac randolph didnt play vs Sac, but hes out of shape and players begged him to run hard the other day in practice and he refused and walked off court...
lets look at PORT thus far
game one vs soups: port wins 82-75 in port, blazers shoot 31%, sonix play 14 players from 9-21 mins
game two: only rd. game at Nugs, lose by 27, get outscored evry qtr. ... zac 2/9
game three: lose 99-85; trail 13 end of 1q ... blazers shoot .326 ... when starters in, blazers down 58-35 ... randolph 2/11
game four: lose to clips 92-73, down 18 at half ... shoot .290 ... zac 1/2; darius 2/17 ... Vets bitch after game
game five: 100-80 sac wins ... down 24 at half, Port shoots .366 ... patterson throws fit after game ...
for all you Telfair fans, he's 10/41 in preseason ...
as for Raps
they are 2-3 and 2-1 at home ... all their games have been fairly tight ... at home they have beaten Nets by 2 and Celts by 10, lost to Jazz in OT (who crushed port in port) and lost @ cleve by 4 and celts by 7, scoring 100 in loss, something i couldnt imagine Port doing in 5qs ... raps have hit 100 pts 3 times, and 93 and 83 in five games thus far, thats 96.8 ... Port is avg. 81; and they havent busted 85 yet ...
unless Raps are playng the scrubs, which i dont know, and/or PORT is so excited after team turmoil they play like 7th game of NBA finals ...
i have to go with
TORONTO -1
