If you know me you know i'm a Lakers homer and i'm the first to admit that. My family has been season ticket holders since the 80s and I feel like I have a good grasp of the team's personality and the way the cards tend to fall for them.
Yes this team is struggling right now; however I am very confident that they will get it together and will definitely compete for a championship this year.
In regards to tonight's game; I see it getting very ugly for the Lakers. The Clippers love trying to run this team off the court, and what a perfect time for them to stick it to their older brothers than now. My advice for tonight's game is this...Take the Clippers, lay off, or if you can get a live line, wait until you get the Lakers +8 or more.
Another strategy I've found that has worked well with me in betting Lakers games is waiting until halftime. When the Lakers are up at the half, I tend to fade them for second half (unless it is a 1 or 2 pt lead). When the Lakers are down at the half, they tend to fight back more often than not and I tail em.
As the season progresses, I will bump this thread with new thoughts from Downtown LA. Good luck everyone.
