    Why is the Lakers line only at -1????

    seems a little low with how the team is playing, beating denver last night, bynum is back......I dunno sounds like a safe bet, anyone playing it?

    hahah you must be new. I'm guessing you didn't watch the last game of the Lakers vs. Portland. Portland blew the Lakers out by about plus 30. So this is a stay away from me.

    they beat em by 17 last game, but also lakers are only 1 game back from 1st place, and with bynum back to match the size of the blazers, i like the lakers.

    Never play LAL in POR. no matter what the line, there is better value in other games. sure, i think the lakers will win tonight on a hunch but im not putting a pennie on it.

    Blazers are definitely a team to be reckoned with come playoff time, especially at home. And the oddsmakers know that. Still, I'm taking the Lakers tonight as long as it doesn't go past 1 1/2.

    But a "safe" bet? By no means.

    Lakers on a B2B, and they have a terrible history in Portland. They way they set these lines will tell you what they think of the matchup. -1= coin flip

    Exactly! I actually think the play is Portland but I am staying away from this one.

    Phil said he wanted Bynum to play 12 mins yesterday. He ended up playing 21.
    I don't think Rambis will have Bynum out there too often, with a back-to-back and him still shaking off the rust.

    classic challenge for kobe and gasol. lakers at their best, on a disadvantage.

    play it, rather than cry when you didnt put anything on it
