    Lakers-Clippers
    Who wins and why?

    Also, why in the hell did Detroit open as a favorite vs. Atlanta?

    the public gave up on them.........

    Not a Laker fan,

    in fact I hate them,

    I fade them @ every possible chance,

    tonight is not one of them.

    tread lightly.............

      Unless Lakers have fix their defence, there is no reason to back them.

        Clippers will probably win. But the spread...not so sure.

            I think you only need an explanation if ur backing Lakers.

            Clips seem like the obvious choice....ur backing a much better team and laying only a few pts

              You're not going to see any logical/matchup reasons for why ppl like the Lakers tonight lol. Just a lot of "their due for a win" type responses.

                A Clippers home game vs the Lakers is no advantage.
                Lakers fighting to get back to .500
                Clippers just got destroyed in b2b games on the road
                Lakers have won 6 of their last 8 games (Clippers had the 17 game winning streak however)
                Lakers are 15-5 in their last 20 games vs Clippers
                Public will be all over Clips
                Lakers tend to show up on Friday nights (I don't know a record, but you will notice how much better the Lakers play on Friday nights over Sunday afternoon games)
                Clips still without Butler, Hill and Billups (still deep as fuk)
                Lakers have a better half court game, if they can control the tempo
                Lakers have only played 3 games since xmas so their old legs should be more rested than prior games

                I'm not taking the Lakers here but thought i'd provide some reasons for sake of argument...

                      My advice if you're backing Lakers... Wait until half time.

                        Other than the beyond-risky "due" angle and the Clippers coming back from a road trip, there's no logical reason to take the Lakers in this spot.

                        I think I'm just going to take the Bulls and Pistons tonight and leave this one alone.

                            I'm not using the due angle,

                            I just feel it,

                            I could be wrong but I won't die if they lose...................

                              You could use the "due" angle with the Clippers as well if you want to take that route.........

                                i took knicks yesterday and minnesota as a gut feeling..everything was saying yesterday to take denver...b2b on toughest place to play and minnesota still took it.. spurs on winning streak, knicks played bad last few games..lakers match up good with clippers even though clippers much deeper.. havent decided yet but probably will play lakers with points if i do... but probably better games on the board..

                                  Not necessarily. I think waiting until half could be beneficial for 2 reasons...

                                  1. If Lakers are down, you can grab them at a better # for 2H.
                                  2. If the Lakers are up, you can fade them second half when they tend to get complacent.

                                  The only thing that would fuk you by waiting is the Lakers go up by double digits and they keep their foot on the pedal. Which is a VERY unlikely outcome.

                                    If Lakers win it will be in the 4th qter,

                                    as long as they are within 10pt range IMO

                                      If Clippers are tired of being little brother than they show it tonight by winning b2b in this series. Nothing surprising in the fact that the Lakers own a 97-30 in this series since Clip moved to LA. The spread is a head case as Lakers are 1-6 in last 7 meetings (common with public teams I suppose). Lakers rank dead last against fast break points and Clippers are currently third best.

                                        Why tonight? What makes tonight different than their last 10 meetings?

                                          Or the next one. True redemption would come in a playoff match up or something of greater magnitude.

                                              Clippers or no play for me, The Clipps did not show up in Denver and then I imagine they were looking ahead to the Laker game (against GS). Clipps have dropped two in a row, they will be looking to make a statement tonight.

                                                Clips were NOT looking ahead. The writing was on the wall for those 2 losses.

                                                        I don't think it is about tonight as much as it is about the better team. How many of the last 10 games were Clippers clearly the better team. Clippers are NOW the better team and have been getting tuned up over the years to the sum of winning 23% against Lakers. I don't think they need any extra motivation here. Those that think they want to wait until playoffs make me laugh because the Lakers are a possible no show.

                                                        I think there is better games on the board and I have Clippers by 7 so the line is perfect for those taking Lakers or encouraging Laker action.

                                                          As a laker fan i would fade this team as much as you can..their defense will hurt them and i say the clips win by more then 6 in this game

                                                              clippers, they're at home
                                                              Also, why in the hell did Detroit open as a favorite vs. Atlanta?
                                                              detroit has been playing well, winning games. ATL likes to bury these crap teams though..
