    Hmm I'd have thought the Blazers were a bit higher favorite.

    We've won 13 of 15; they've lost 14 of 17.

    Edit; Site I looked at shows us 4.5 favorite.

    NYC has 10 times Portland's population. Odds are set to balance the number of bets for Knicks vs. against the Knicks, and have little to do with the odds of who will win.

    Rolo fell off so hard last year. I wasn't sad to see him go at all, and he really hasn't lived up to his contract. 9.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, and a PER of 17.44. Those aren't bad numbers, they'd probably be great coming off the bench, but I like Plumlee's ability to handle the rock and make plays.

    Plumlee's averages are 9 ppg, 7.7 rebounds, 1 block, and a PER of 16.64.

    Plumlee has that rare ability to dribble and pass too

    Plumlee recovers way faster than Rolo and Plumlee can finish a full court fast break ..but he'll never push Rolo out of position..Rolo is a giant

    Knicks have a pretty legit player intro ceremony.

    Yeah, I'm much happier with Plums over Lopez. Lopez got shown up big time against Memphis. Plums can make adjustments to his game when necessary. Lopez can't do that.

    Awesome! Lanny finally got a radio in his hospital room so I'm sure he heard it.

    It's like she switches networks every few months. She definitely gets around.
