I new the cash cow would come to an end soon. Betting the Lakers in-game in the 3rd quarter has been an atm for me over the past month.
I expected this. To this point, The team is asleep in the first 3 quarters letting Kobe do his thing. THen the last quarter (when things are desperate) they all get involved and dominate opponents.
Tonight, they are playing the best team they have played this month and I don't think they have trailed by more than 5 and have actually led most of the 2nd and 3rd quarters. No juicy LAL PK lines tonight.
What a bummer. I was enjoying watching the account grow at record pace.
If the Laker's lose, the storyline will be no kobe = no playoffs. However, this team is screaming on defense tonight and ball movement has been the best in a month.
I would not go so far as to say they will have a better chance in the playoffs without him. I was waiting to cash on LAL in the playoffs because I expected the Lakers to turn it up like they have tonight except Kobe would also still be on the court.
Interesting stuff...
