    Just seemed like a Glengarry paraphrase was called for.

    Vegas lines are based on action for each side. In a perfect world for sportsbooks they would take even money on both sides and simply make money on the juice for every game.

    I said this before game 1. Vegas almost seemed like they were baiting people into taking OKC or thinking that was a good bet. Most of the money in both games came in on OKC.

    This line is weird though. It's almost as if they're now baiting people to take Portland. I don't think a lot of people would take OKC to win by 8 or more here so maybe Vegas thinks this will be a blowout tonight.

    Perhaps Vegas thinks it just needs to be a really sweet line for anyone in America to actually bet on Portland because they all hate us.

    I'd still probably consider giving the points, considering personnel, location, and situation. A double-digit loss wouldn't shock me.

    I agree it's possible that they blow us out tonight, but the way the Thunder have played in this series and since the All-Star break I certainly wouldn't bet money that they cover that big of a spread.

    I'm skipping everything today. I'm currently living in a trailer on an island in the wilderness, so it's not too tough. But still.

    It's bad, but just good enough to stream a movie or live game with no interruptions. Also, just bad enough that I can use it as an excuse for not getting back to people with emails right away. So, perfect reception.

    If they think the Blazers players are going to have a letdown, they are in for a letdown.

    If they think OKC is going to significantly improve their play vis-a-vis the Blazers, because OKC's back is against the wall, it's possible.

    But I wouldn't bet on it.
