Was thinking about taking the Knicks, but was very surprised to see so many people hot on the Lakers. Is there any particular reason why so many people are liking the Lakers here? I know, Nash and Gasol are playing, however am I the only one that still isnt seeing much change in the Lakers? That could change tonight, but I just dont see how or why the Lakers should be favored here (seems like all hype to me). Kobe still put up an incredible amount of shots in their OT win against the warriors and to be honest, the Warriors have a habit of not closing out games, so im not surprised the Lakers were able to climb back after being owned for quarters 2 and 3.
Anyway, Im thinking Knicks here, they have the deeper roster, overall better team and most importantly, the Knicks can play D. I think Woodsen might have Mike D's number and will out coach him tonight.
Thoughts? Just wanted to get some opinions.
