    Per CBS Sports:

    "Portland Trail Blazers (26.5): I believe this will be the worst team in the league. They have some talent, but the fit together, combined with the kinds of issues they have with specific holes (rim protection, playmaking, shooting) has me concerned. I like the under strongly. Hope they prove me wrong."

    I'll take the over, but not by much.

    Sounds about right... I'd take the over, but it'd only be by maybe a game or two.

    Man that's a great number.

    As a former gambler, I'd tell people to pass on this one

    I'd see what the odds when to if I gave them 34.5. And then bet the over. And not sweat it.

    In terms of %chance to win a championship, there are 7 teams with a worse chance. 2 other teams with the same.

    Wow--there are 7 teams out there that have less than zero chance at a title? Who'da thunk?

    I don't know. But even Vegas thinks you're at least 7 games off. :dunno:

    No they don't.

    They set the number to get people to bet both sides evenly. It means Vegas believes the rest of the people disagree with HCP :)

    I would take the over easily on that. The consolation prize if I'm wrong will be a nice lottery pick.

    I'm going to Vegas next week. Give me $100 at the Wheels Meet and Greet and I'll put the bet down for you.

    Somehow, BlazerCaravan, I suspect that "put the bet down for you" equates to "get a lap dance in your honor".

    Like they always say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...including BlazerCaravan's money.
