    Big play on NOH hosting Lakers

    ML and spread

    Hornets always play Lakers tough, coming off a huge win vs Milwaukee.. Lakers 1-5 on the road, b2b with be struggle after a tight game in Houston...

    what's not to like here.. unless stern steps in and gets LA in the win column, hornets should win this game handily

    Who's got a line?

    Where are you getting this line? From my estimation, before Pau was out, this should have been Lakers -2. I will be playing the Lakers anywhere from -1 to -2.5, GL

    NBA Commissioner David Stern will be in New Orleans on Wednesday to attend the New Orleans Hornets-Lakers game at the New Orleans Arena.

    Stern will make the call.

    The NBA no longer owns the team. Tom Benson, owner of the New Orleans Saints owns the team now.

    whoops, you're right. either way, it's not like he loves the lakers enough to rig a regular season game against the hornets. He likes them because they make the NBA money in the playoffs, he doesn't get off to seeing them beat a scrub team

    Taking the Lakers today....
    Why?

    - The Hornets have one of the lowest rates of offensive possession per game in the league (29th) and the Lakers one of the highest (6th) with the Lakers #1 in the league in this stat over last 3 games and NO 30th.

    - One of the Lakers biggest weaknesses as we know is the fast break where they are 29th in the league in fast break points allowed, however NO are 25th in the league in fast break point scored
    - If you've watched the Lakers in the last few games you'd see that they have been choke artists with the 4th highest points allowed in the 2nd half and highest in points allowed in the 4th quarter in the league over the last 3 games. NO though are 22nd in the league in 2nd half points scored (LA's last two choke opponents Houston and Orlando are 3rd and 12th btw), and 20th in 4th quarter points.
    - Finally in terms of plays run the Lakers match up ok vs NO. Their biggest weakness is defending the Pick and Roll where LA are ranked 25th in the league and this is NO's go to play where they run it 25% of the time. But LA match up well vs NO in iso where NO are 30th in the league and post-up offence where NO are 29th in the league.
    - The Lakers offence matches up very well vs NOs 29th ranked defense.... LA run spot up plays 20% of the time and NO are 29th in defending the spot up. As we all know LA loves running iso for kobe, and NO are one of the worst teams in the league vs iso plays ranked 28th. Finally a trademark of D'Antonis system is pick and roll, where Lakers are offensively 2nd in the league and NO are 22nd in defending the P & R

    After last night, I am taking the Lakers at -8 tonight! It is just not realistic to think they will lose this one. Forget the b2b, forget the terrible record, it is just Lakers win here and a blowout!

    I will not bet on LA until Nash and Gasol get back, and then only after they have proved they can play as a unit.
    They look old and clueless, but just don1t have the balls to autofade them as there are better games on board.

    Did I mention I am a Clippers fan for 15 years? I so want the Lakers to lose this one, but having seen the Hornets several times, I just can't imagine them winning here.

    Kobe is most likely going to be the youngest player to make 30,000 points tonight (he is 13 points away). He goes off for games like this, when he passed the 20k points mark at NY vs NYK, he went for 39 points 11 rebs 8 ast.

    Seems like everyone has bold predictions on an exact outcome. Either team can win by 1 or 20. The real question is did you get a spread which has greater than 52-53% chance of hitting? What should a fair line be at?

    We all saw the Lakers blow a 14 point lead second half of the game last night.. and Coach clearly not willing to pull Dwight in the final 4 minutes.. really feel confident playing them on a spread tonight?

    WAS beat MIA last night... anything can happen :S

    Kobe hits the 30,000 points mark tonight. He'll bring the energy.

    Kobe's going off tonight, huh?
    Not a good sign for the Lakers.

    Kobe scores under 21 points = Lakers 4 - 0
    Kobe scores over 31 points = Lakers 0 - 5
