Lakers -2.5 at Nuggets Friday Lock it up!

[frostno98]

I would think Denver would a 5 or more point dogs in this one. I'd seen almost every Nuggets game this season and they just don't match up well against the Lakers. They have no clue in how to stop Kobe Bryant except by double teaming him. Doing that will make them venerable to the Lakers excellent 3 point shooter in Fisher, Sasha, and Farmar. Denver just don't have enough consistent primeter shooters to cancel off the Lakers 3's.

The only way the Nuggets will have a fighting chance is for JR smith or Linas Kleiza to go off for 30 or somebody containing Kobe Bryant one on one. Asking the Nuggets to do either is a long shot, that's why the Lakers has to be the guarantee easiest play here. The Nuggets couldn't even beat the Lakers when Iverson had 51 and Melo had 26. The Lakers has already beaten all the top teams on the road this year that are a hell lot better then the Nuggets in Cleveland and Boston. So this one should be a walk in the park.

ya i like lakers as well, line isnt up on diamond yet tho

[Mac4Lyfe]

I'm going to have to think about this one. I've gotten creamed this weak betting for road favorites. Cleveland, Boston, Warriors

[frostno98]

Trust me, I've been a Nuggets fan since my freshman year in Highschool back in 94-95. Lakers and the Spurs own the Nuggets.

[whatisit]

On top of that, Lakers have beat the Nuggets 9 straight games...it's a real one sided matchup right now

[W0lfy]

I booked this earlier when it was up. Bought half a point (probably wont need) to -2. This was earlier in the day predicting that laker starters would have a nice rest against the Suns.

[JGILL50]

PLease take a look at Rockets Cavs last night and Magic bulls earlier in the week. all the same components are there.

[JGILL50]

And boston LAC

[MJT1212]

so bet nugs?

[JGILL50]

just my opinion of course NUGS ML or no play

[B1GER1C828]

[CashMoney]

Locked in on the Lakers -2.

[jackiedeez]

[ryanXL977]

[SpreadSniper]

Nene HilarioF/CSidelinedFeb 22kneeDay-to-day
Latest News:
Trainer Jim Gillen said on Thursday that Nene's knee is "much improved," and the Nuggets' center could return to face the Lakers on Friday. "I'd say the pendulum has swung to I think there's a chance he'll play tomorrow," coach George Karl said. Nene will be evaluated on Friday, after which a determination will be made on his availability for the matchup with the Lakers.

houston beat cavs yesterday, houston was 22-6 at home, cavs were nto a good play there. bulls are on a roll, they beat orlando, it happens, clips kinda came out of nowhere but kg was out.

the nuggets cant beat anyone and they NEVER beat the lakers. i would not play denver here. lakers or no play for me

[Chi_archie]

NBA confuses the hell out of me

[krk1030]

I dont see why people were so shocked houston won last night. They are playing well and very good home team. Cleveland is not very good on the road compared to their overall record.

Lakers are the best team in basketball and basiclly just needing them to win is always a good bet imo.

i see a lot of people in here shocked when home teams win. thats bc half this forum just looks at overall record and takes the better team, regardless of where they play. you can pretty much disregard half the posts in sbr bc they wont take a dog to save their life. your post is spot on.

even if nene plays, he wont be at full speed and strength. they will have problem with odom ang gasol inside.

K mart is foul prone. same with birdman. and you cant depend on kleiza to guard your home.

kobe owns nuggets. see last playoff

[supershark]

not worried about Nene if he plays... hes not coming back unless hes going to benifet the team. Especially with his injury history. That being said Im still not sure if Den. is the play.

[ryanXL977]

come on guys

DENVER
this is denver we are talking about
who are they? when do they beat lal, when do they beat sas, when do they beat the cavs, new orleans, or utah

they are crap. they think they can turn it on when they want. they have no chemistry. they are stupid, they have an awful coach and an awful team. they have one good player, nene,. and he has one testicle and is hurt also.

this is a no ****ing brainer
im serious

lakers by 10
i am rarely shocked on games, but if denver wins i will be shocked

denver is shit

[PapaGeorge]

by 10? lakers played last night...maybe tired???

[obamaismyuncle]

Don't know if it will be by 10, but feel 90%confident the Lakers will win.

[ryanXL977]

the lakers never led by less than 13 after q1

they played half their starters for less than 25 mins. only odom played over 30
they are fine

denver ****ing sucks.
also, its a 80- minuted flight to denver

denver lost by 20 at home to sas, to cavs, and to boston

lakers are no different

come on people
this is denver, the shittiest team in sports. period.

nobody has less heart than the nugs, well, maybe the pistons.

[ryanXL977]

in all the history of the world, there has never been a team with worse chemistry or less guts than the nuggets

**** them

[obamaismyuncle]

Lakers have won 9 in a row against Denver, Denver has been playin' like crap and only beat the Hawks by 1 the other night. Lakers are alot better than Denver, thats enough for me to go with L A.

[PapaGeorge]

ill take your word for it ...still think tiredness will play a big roll.....then again..denver does suck from the research i just looked at

[ryanXL977]

denver sucks
and lakers arent tired, they played half a game last night and it was against the suns, who dont make teams work hard to win. it wasnt like they played houston or dallas or some other mediocre team who at least tries to play d.

thenugs are faggots and pussyholes.
they dont beat la
ever

[PapaGeorge]

iight brother imma take ur word for it...im new to the nba hockey is my sport

[ryanXL977]

i will make one warning, when this many people are this sure of a game, it can lead to big trouble.

but i know this nugs team, they have what all denver teams have (except the 07 rockies), they have no heart, no guts, the nugs, the colorado buffs, and especially the broncos, all suck ass

never forget that

you know what that makes sense....the avalanche took a fall finally....good thought...imma keep that in mind...for certain games

[ryanXL977]

its bc a lot of these dudes smoke a shitload of weed up there, a good buddy of mine sees a lot of the players out all the time, drunk, high. they dont much care for winning. melo, jr smith, kenyon, all high as **** most of the time. which is fine, but ill bet on the other team.
