Golden State Warriors over Portland Trailblazers: This bet is similar to the one we made in the NHL with game 4 of the Bost-Car series. After a long long season success in the playoffs a team down 0-3 are not giving up they are professionals with pride. However sub-consciously they know it is over. Port as well will not go down without a fight. It becomes more pronounced to find the energy even at home if you fall behind. Iguodala is questionable for Gs but even if he does not go McKinnie is a very capable back up. Green is looking like the Green of old playing at a very high level. Gs defense is often overlooked how good they are with how prolific they are on offense. Most importantly Lillard is gutting it out but with separated ribs it is really effecting his play. Port lacks the depth and secondary scoring to compete for the full 48. The risk Gs takes a night off hard to see. I have this game at 5.5 giving us excellent value.
