question for you guys... how will the entire Phil Jackson situation effect this series? will Phil flop on purpose or try even harder?

[Goat Milk]

stop betting basketball

[freeVICK]

??? why I'm simply questioning phils motivation. I know if I was the greatest coach ever, win year in year out, then buss comes at you with a proposed 60% pay cut??? that's like a slap in the face. if I was Phil I would tank this series on purpose. why would I wanna reward a franchise that's severly taking me for granted

You'd be the one on Earth

Phil doesn't flop. It's not even a question...

[JACK MATZ]

[COLOR=#000000! important]Hi.
I set up a Tournament on Poker stars for anyone on here that wants to play.
Friday May 28 @ 6pm Pacific time.
$5.00 + .50
Tournament name - SBR POKER
Password - killthebookie ( all one word )
Tournament id - 276902669

Just go to Pokerstars, private tounaments, and look for SBR POKER.

I will set one up for Saturday also.

Maybe we could make this a weekly thing until SBR gets their Poker thing going.
Let me know if anyone has any ideas. Maybe SBR could put up some points to the winners or somthing.

If your going to play, please put your Pokerstars screen name in your post.
Also, let as many people as you can know about the tournament.

[jnickell100]

Oh ok I see its friday, Im not sure ill be able to play then i thought it was tonight. Im defienetly interested though. I havent played poker in a while but used to be pretty good. Let me know the next one

[lakerboy]

no opinion on LA game YET

[hels]

I can't see Phil 'wanting' to lose as it would be a feeling he's never had before in his life. I dunno, everyone is on the Lakers with good right; however, I just can't see the Suns flopping too easily tonight.

I just sorta wonder how much the refs will influence the game. It seemed like games 1 and 2 Phoenix wasn't getting the BIG/Important calls. Just looking at fouls and Phoenix had 2 and 3 more than LA in games 1 and 2 respectively. Games 3 and 4 it was the other way around with LA having 7 and 11 more fouls in each game respectively.

In Boston/Orlando it seems like neither team is getting a huge advantage for important calls but the refs are influencing the Over/Under to a great degree.... such as last night. They gave out at least a half dozen technicals as well, wtf for??

All in all I think the home advantage is screaming loud and clear in LA/Phx so far and when will it stop?

On a side note a few days ago it looked like we were going to have a 4-0 blowout and ~ 4-1 massacre... who would have thought?

[fatty mcgoo]

this game seems that it will come down to the wire at the moment and even though I am from LA and a Laker fan I am kind of tempted to put my money on phoenix with the points at this point, but I am still waiting to see what happens. I think this game goes under tonight though

[samus82]

Looking forward to your play later LB.

Owed you a few points for that Flyers call the other night.

[Fred Showpan]

Placing .5 unit on Pho ML parlayed w/ over 217. Still rooting Lakers b/c of series bet though

[jnickell100]

This line, to me just screams blowout though. Majority is on PHX cause look at what theve done in the last 2 games. The difference in calls between the suns and lakers has been a huge advantage for the suns, i believe that Amare had 11 Ft attemps in the 1q of game 3? I think the lakers blowout suns tonight

[ThisGuy]

Phx +8 Over 217

That's why you shouldn't look at stats. Why do you think LA got to the line less in PHX and PHX got more calls. The answer is very simple.

[TylerDurden]

Yeah stats have nothing to do with a game

And if you're implying that the lakers shot jumpshots all of game 3 that's not true. The suns didn't play zone until the very end of the 1st half of game 3 and even though the lakers were going inside, the foul count was still ridiculously in Phx's favor. Amare couldn't even look at the rim without the refs calling a foul.

[vipers]

over or under

[shari91]

Unless one of you guys comes up with a solid reason for me to pick a side, I think I may take PHO ML (for value), LA 1Q (for guaranteed cash) and just wait until halftime.

Am I missing something here? There are so many 'lock', 'reverse jinx' and stupid bloody question threads about this game that I feel I'm in danger of over-thinking it all.

[TylerDurden]

Ohh right I forgot you are a professional and know everything about the NBA. Heaven forbid we discuss a game in a forum.

I think LA 1q is a solid bet Shari as it's again a higher line than the other quarters. In terms of the overall game I expect a double digit Lakers win, but you may be smart to just make a 2hf bet.

[Goat Milk]

man you were spot on with Lakers being able to contain Amare when he isos on the elbow- and that Nash creates Amare's points, and that "you'll put any amount of points that LA wins at least 1 in PHX", just tailing what LakerBoy said and I made you eat your words for arguing with me. Arguiing w me when I said only Kobe Gasol and Fish Boy would play well on the road.

I should really listen to you more often

[Qwista]

shut up goat milk.

Yup, too much info around.

[Goat Milk]

shut up goat milk.

Qwista you snapped on Paco after he lost 1 of his SCS plays now you're back on his dick. Be gone peasant.

[hels]

If you think it's going to be LA blowout then Over is the play. If Phoenix has a chance I can only see Under as I doubt they'll beat them 115-110 or something like that... who knows tho, this is the type of game where ANYTHING could truly happen.

It wouldn't surprise me if LA wins by 30 or Phoenix wins by 30.

Exactly what I'm thinking, Shari. The Suns are NOT +350 dogs in this situation. However LAL 1Q -3.5 is STEEP..
