    Be cautious. Yesterday was just terrible scheduling for the nuggets. With that said I think the Lakers will lose tonight and @Philly and could possibly take the rest.

    If Denver plays a decent game they win by 10+

    What did the Lakers do so well last night?

    Denver played really poor basketball and still had a shot to win the game..

    17 rings. Lakers could take a break for the next 15 years and still be guaranteed to have more rings than the CHeat.

    The Lakers could lose all the road games... 5 games in a row. I'm serious. Philly isn't an easy out. Boston will be amped on a Thursday night and even NY in the Garden won't be easy. Then Toronto isn't an easy place to rack up a win.

    Lakers bench is flat out horrible. The worst in the NBA. Unless the starters play 35 minutes a night, any game is up for grabs.

    lol @ the kobe stringbean nuthuggers. In his career the Fakers have a crappy 34.4% winning percentage when that selfish idiot shoots 29 or more shots per game, recent examples tonight and in philly where that putz shot his team to losses.. as he always does. That 34% percentage is one of the worst in NBA history because he's always been a drama queen wanna be jordan a-hole. When other players shoot that much they shoot their team to wins.

    Tonight, of course, that piece of garbage Kobe the stringbean bryant with yet another horrid shooting performance shooting his team out of the game. Shooting a crappy 11/29 tonight. The pussy had ZERO assists up until 7 minutes in the game.

    He's always been a POS overrated player, who just shoots more than anyone else. He will break the record shortly for most missed shots in NBA history, WAY WAY before even becoming a Top 3 scoring leader.. that tells you all you need to know.

    The only reason the Fakers got to the Finals post the shaq era is because the Fakers had the most dominant front court in the West. Nobody in the western conference could match up with that front court and that's why the LA Fakers breezed through the West in the playoffs.

    Notice that as soon as Dallas and OKC got some good frontcourt players (OKC adding Perkins to Ibaka, and Dallas adding Chandler to Dirk upfront), the overrated Lakers and Kobe got bounced out of the playoffs, and swept under the rug in 4 straight games by Dallas.

    Nobody in the west was fearful of Kobe the stringbean, they were fearful of that front court consisting of bynum-gasol-odom -- all bigs that could REALLY pass, which was a huge dimension to their team. Their length just could not be matched.

    Kobe the stringbean is the most overrated player in NBA history. Read Phil Jackson's book , and read up what an overrated piece of crap Kobe really is, and a team killer. His fans who suck on his nuts are total idiots and have no clue about the game of basketball

    Of course, I called it Before the game tonight:

    most overrated player in NBA history. And thank goodness we live in the information age and internet age where so many people are realizing it with factual info. In 10 years he won't even be looked upon as a Top 15 player, and rightfully so.
    Right according to plan

    What wantitall said about the Fakers sums it up nicely. The only reason to even talk about that shitty irrelevant team is because this is a betting forum, and they've been easy money all season,, and the shitshow will continue to be just that - easy money

    Kobe 0 for his life tonight isnt helping, but this is the start of their break down, back to backs will start catching up to teams soon enough.

    But Lakers go from -140 to like -200 thats just dumb. Some tout must have released them or something thats the only thing I can see, back to back is one thing, but back to back on the road, after an OT game that is a suicide play.

    I didnt get a chance to post about the stuff I liked as I was out and about today,but Clips + 150 and Knicks +165 (not the best number) were the obvious plays tonight.

    But I think my opinion of the Lakers speaks for itself and I would have buried them especially seeing that line move like it did. They got their win last night like I said they would. So for all the people who think I am a blind laker hater just remember I said lakers would probably beat Celtics, it took a lot of luck but they did.

    Positive for them is they play at Tor next and have Pho in 2 of the next 3. Then it gets serious again. So lakers will do just enough to fake people into thinking theyre still a 'legit' team. So smart guys will still get good odds betting against them.

    Both Lakers and Celtics are 1st round exits in the 2012 playoffs.

    Hilarious. Meanwhile, they're 1 game out of 10th place in the West. Has nothing to do with caring, they just don't have enough pieces. Unless they make a major change, I think they will miss the playoffs.

    no chance LA misses the playoffs. the team obviously is going through a rough patch, you think Metta World Peace can shoot this badly all season? lakers sit in 7th spot as it is with an easy stretch ahead.

    Lakers won`t be missing the playoffs.

    They are one shooter away/a decent PG from being very dangerous.

    Who is the shooter / PG going to be?

    Their bench is awful. MWP is awful. Fisher is fukn awful.


    Can never write off a team with Kobe and two legit 7 footers though
