NBA - Cleveland Cavs v Portland

11 December 2009

Preview By Tipster Jumbo (New Zealand)

I enjoyed writing that yesterday, so I ain’t going to Fuck off just yet……Besides us Retards get bored easily…Funny then that someone would read what I have to say and yet also admit that he likes listening to Retards by bothering to read it at all, Yep no body cares and why would you, It’s not you bothering to put all of this together now is it, try doing it yourself and having someone rubbish you and then you would understand why it gets annoying…Very funny . The biggest difference between me and many of you is that I don’t read anything written by People I don’t like, wining record or not, Many of you don’t like me, but yet you all still come along and read it…Interesting, In a fucked up way…Each to their own I spose….

I was really disappointed on the NFL Bet on the total yesterday mainly because it lost, while everything else I bet on came in, Here’s what I bet on yesterday….$100 on Detroit to beat the Nuggets at $3.80….$250 on that Total to go over at $1.91…..$250 on the Total between the Wizards and Celtics to go over at $1.95….$250 on the Total between the Jazz and Magic to go over at $1.90….$250 on the Jazz to beat the Magic at $2.10….$100 on the Browns to beat the Steelers at $5 and lastly $500 on the Total to go over in the Browns game, the only one that lost… Do the Math on that and you’ll see why I was disappointed in choosing the wrong bet for the Total in that game, I fucking hate it when that happens and so I am annoyed and am ready to tip my heart out, Untill I get bored with doing it again….Here we go…

The Cavs return home ready to win a game after 2 road loses , both in games that they expected to win, In both games they had really bad starts and so they should try at home to get off to a good start which they have been able to do I the last 2 seasons, they need a win and I expect them to get one , they are still without both Gibson and Powe but otherwise are a great side well balanced and capable of beating any side on their day.

The Blazers got by the Pacers but face a far tougher test here today against the Cavs, The Blazers have won only 2 of their last 5 matches and after a great start are again looking shaky, they do have some hope though as they have been shooting from the field at 475 in their last 3 matches but with their woeful Free throw shooting it is really costing them any real hope of winning games, they’ll have troubles inside against this Cavs side and so I expect them to try and shot the long range shot a few times in this game. And they are good enough to do that, they will miss Fernandez in that regard for sure and they are also still without Batum and Mills but they are young and good enough to score over 80 points in this game which is what I am looking for.

The Cavs are 8-2 in their last 10 against the Blazers at any venue and are also 7-3 ATS in those games, In Cleveland and the Cavs have won 5 on the trot against the Blazers and have covered the spread in 4 of those last 5 matches…Total wise and matches between these two sides have resulted in over the total in 6 of those last 10 matches and of the 5 games in Cleveland the Total has been passed in 4 of those last 5 matches… The Total set today is 184 and that has been passed in 5 of the last 10 matches and of the last 5 played in Cleveland the set total today has been passed in 4 of those 5 matches.

The Cavs were going great but have hit a bad patch and now have lost two straight to the Grizzlies and Rockets, However I imagine that they will want to bounce back in a big way today and win this game well, it won’t be easy as the Blazers even short handed can be a hard side to beat, The Cavs should have all the advantages in the paint against a Oden- less Blazers side and so the Blazers should try to connect from outside which should work, either side is averaging 7 3 Point shots made per game.

The total is a hard bet and I do think that the cavs are good to cover here but again it is hard to say, the Cavs have scored 100 or more in 4 of their last 5 games and have allowed 86 of more in their last 5 games, while the Blazers have scored over 83 in their last 5 matches while passing 90 points in 2 and 100 points in the other 2, they have allowed 85 or more in their last 5 matches also. Both sides are shooting from the field in the mid 40% range but both sides suck from the free throw line, so we need both sides to be good on offence for us to get this today.

Either way the Cavs should come out to win this game and win it well, but like I said it won’t be easy and I expect the Blazers to hang in here for a while before the cavs kick away at the end….Good Luck.
