PORTLAND dominated this game, despite the score. Outrebounding them almost 3-1!!!

Outshot them big time, but too many dumb passes and turnovers for the JAILBLAZERS.
I think they make some adjustments in 2H, and as mentioned, WASH tends to fade a little late, and without ARENAS, I don't see them making much of a run.
NJ and SEA played a nice 1st qtr, totalling 47 pts, but only managed 34 in 2Q, which is more the pace this one will play out to. I was gonna take NJ in this one, and lay the 1 or 2, but not 3.5. I think NETS make it a game, but they will do it slowing the pace, running when they can, and launching prayers with 1 tick left otherwise. NETS are having to adjust to ZO's retirement, and although this often leads to a sprited effort, we haven't seen it yet, and I don't know if it's coming.... like the Under....
