Lakers-Thunder: the sequel

[No coincidences]

LAL was +6 the first time they faced OKC at home, they lost by 14, and now they're +3?

WTF?

[Seto]

I'm probably going to take the Lakers again and get burned again.

Line is because Gasol and Howard were out last game...

[DallasMaverick41]

I've never taken Lakers before and have heard first hand from the people that took Lakers and their disappointment.
I'll go with OKC.

[Seto]

I'm actually thinking of doing something I NEVER do and tease Boston and LA. I did that just once this season and inevitably lost.

I thought Gasol played? I know Howard didn't.

[jimm246]

OKC -3 too easy. OKC win by 15 but is this a trap?

[Seto]

I thought Gasol played? I know Howard didn't.

Nah he didn't.

If the Lakers win this game or even cover the spread it will remove all doubts about whether the NBA is fixed or not.

[Vinnie Paz]

Yea cause OKC never lost before on the road

[ThaTopMoron]

Kobe gonna go for 60 and Lakers win by 13

just kidding.

ill bet the over if anything on this shit game or any other NBA game

[innovation]

Probably another square Sunday. If I was a book and wanted to get action off Celtics I would pull some sh*t like this though.

[Barnes & Whine]

If you think about it one way, the value is there on OKC because of the Lakers getting a huge 18 point win against Utah last game. Gasol and Howard back in the lineup also makes the line closer than it was in the first matchup this year.

On the other side, OKC is always off a big win because they win almost every game. 26-16 against the spread overall.
12-8 in road games, however, just 2-4 ATS as road favs of 3 points or less.

I've got parlays tied up with OKC -3, hope they can pull this one out, but I fear this game will be much closer than the first matchup. Public looks to be all over OKC right now.

Take the under

[Barnes & Whine]

Please Tell me when Kobe has ever scored that many points and the Lakers won by double digits at the same time.

[Stevedore]

OKC 3-2 on the road trip and don't play till Thursday at home. 4-2 sounds better then a 3-3 trip, top effort for OKC before their siesta.

How quickly people forget... The lakers have won 70% of their games when kobe scores 40+ look it up... And off the top of my head ill name u two... 62 in 3 quarters vs Dallas and 81 vs raptors both DD victories... I love how people love 2 criticize the greatest active player in the nba... He's older now but talking about career here... Oh and while ur at it watch games 1 & 2 of the western conference finals against the spurs and see how kobe terrorized the twin towers (no pun intended)... Even Shaq was calling kobe his idol after the game 😉... All kobe needs 2 do is feed the dog a bone so he can protect the house

Edit: and the 62 and 81 games... Kwame Brown Chris Mihm and Smush Parker are starters/6th man
