    I’d probably take Toronto +5 at this point. Blazers have played better but I still don’t trust them

    Not tonight. Blazers will take this going away in the fourth.

    I don’t have a whole bunch of confidence in that bet

    I wouldn't touch a bet on our team with a ten foot pole. This season is not the season to make big bets on one game's line... it's a season to make small bets with long odds. There's just too much parity in the league and too many teams playing at wildly inconsistent levels.

    The conspiracy theorists will not like this post one bit.

    I think you're right and I don't think that comes close to guaranteeing the win.

    Fairly confident. Only iffy is Siakam’s 3’s. I haven’t really paid attention to how often he shoots them

    It's Jerami Grant 2+ threes, not Siakam.

    It's Jerami's making two threes and Pascal scoring 23 or more. I don't even know about that spread though. Our team cannot be counted on... they can't be counted on to come out and be the best they can and they can't be counted on to come out and be mediocre either. I seriously doubt we blow out the Raptors tonight but this team has been doing things both bad and good that I seriously doubted they would before they did them.

    Raptors +9.5 means I win as long as the Raptors lose by 9 or less (or win). I hope I lose because we win by 20 though!

    I just switched from the Kings/Wolves to our pregame and I have to say, the Kings announcers are a bit delusional. They were talking about if teams will start playing the Kings differently since they've been winning a lot lately but they referred to them as the third seed in the West in a way that made it seem like the announcers thought that's where the Kings should be. Maybe the Kings will be the third seed and very realistically they may be playing in the play-ins. They're good but not great by any means.

    Give respect to Sacramento. They’ve earned their spot in the standings.
