Milwaukee and Portland laying single digits.

I am shocked to see both Bucks and Blazers laying -9 and -8 respectively for their games on Sunday against really bad atrocious defensive teams in Pacers and Raptors.

In the Milwaukee game, line is -9 or -9.5 in some places. Pacers have allowed 110+ in 7 of their last 11 games. While Bucks are going on five game streak allowing 87 or less.

Jazz came to town destroying the weak opposition and could not even cross 90 against these red-hot Bucks team.

Don't know if it's the early start, let-down spot (which I don't believe this now with teams fighting for playoff spots).

The most shocker of them all is Blazers laying four miserable baskets against a Raptors team that will be playing with no rest (3-12 ATS and allowing 109.9 ppg in this scenario). At the time of this writing Warriors have 117 points with 3 mins left in its game against Raptors. Will probably finish with 125+ points.

Blazers have not allowed an opponent to even sniff 100 points in their last 8 home games.

Perhaps those lines will increase tomorrow when the betting public starts wagering their games. But tonight those lines don't make sense whatsoever.

The line in Portland has gone down to -7.5, now that's a huge development in this game.

If this line stays like this or even down further, it's a clear indication that Raptors are the "play" here.

But for me it's a perfect PASS.

No way I would play my money on this defense.

HA!

Line goes down to -7.5, then all the way to -9, and is now -8.5 for Blazers.

What the heck was that?

That's what you think. I am not looking at wiseguys move.

It may not mean anything to you, but it does to me.

Tremendous 4th quarter rare defensive effort by the Pacers. Happens one in 10 games.

AFter BOSH called out his team, I'll probably take TOR and the points .. this type of thing usually sharpens a team's focus in the short/near term..

Portland in the end did not score 115, but they did score 109 and that's Raptors allowing average with no rest (1 point less). Blazers again did not allow opponent to score 100+ points on their court.

Blazers do cover its spread.

Raptors give up 19 offensive rebounds after giving up 18 to a Golden State team the night before who played 1 guy over 6'6.

Why don't you call out your team again Bosh. It's got to be tough for them to take you seriously when you stand there and get pushed around like a stick on every single defensive possession.
