Lakerboy NBA thread for rest of Season until playoffs end

[Chicco]

san antonio is plus 1 at my book

[Salmon Steak]

Mavs Twolves over just went to 208 on my book.

[ballaholic]

My friends Gonzaga is a trap tonight. Watch out. GL

[Flopa3]

Damn I got SA at +5.5 this afternoon I wish I would have taken it for more. So the question is does SA beat the cav or is this worth middling?

LOL. you're just sayin that because you followed LB's pick last night and won some money off of SMU. Ya they looked great, but don't get over-confident man- Gonzaga isn't any Portland U...

Haven't they won like 10 of these tourneys in a row? Didn't they beat SMU this year @ SMU? So what makes you think trap?

Have heard this elsewhere as well but I disagree. Will not fade Zaga yet.

[Lakers714]

spurs opened as a pick from my local. Spurs still the play guys?

[Lakers714]

Goin heavy on Mavs -3.5 1H. Waitin for LB on the Spurs call.

[knightof7]

wtf spurs went from +6 to pick....?!

[QUEST001]

No Lebron No win...

[mlb]

That's what happens with a Lebronless Cavaliers team

The line is way too low. The correct line should be around -7 to -9. This line is set to get action on gonzaga...which they have...81% on gonzaga already and 95% on ML.....this smells like a trap to me as well. Gonzaga might win, but they wont cover -4.

[Lakers714]

I'm just worried that the Cavs without Bron will turn into the Lakers without Kobe. Cavs still a solid team without Bron but with Shaq also being out leaves them pretty thin down low.

[I am Happy]

My take is middling with San Antonio if you must. The Cavs are quite capable of winning straight up. The game is in Cleveland, they have adjusted to a game without Lebron. Mo Williams does not shoot as terrible as he did against the Bucks. Hickson has more than 1 point. This game has UNDER written all over it for me. The Cavs have an ability to cover here folks.

[alamo]

Personally I think the Cavs are a better team without LBJ... He takes way too many shots and tries to boss the game. Cavs will win tonight now that theres no Lebron distractions

I think there is justification to the line being where it's at. How could the Zags be favored by 7 to 9 when St. Mary's came off a 30 point win in their semi-final while the Zags struggled some. Also, SMU has already played Zags down to the wire this season- granted @ SMU. SMU's big man Samhan has given the Zags problems (dropped like 30 in one of the games vs them) So I think the line is pretty accurate-- I actually think it's a good bet (especially the ML) because the line has been deflated due to the reasons I mentioned above.

Cavs w/o lebron is not like Lakers w/o Kobe.

Lakers have more talents in their lineups and play better team game w/o Kobe, not the case w/ the cavs, they crumble tonight.

I could be wrong but I think every game Lebron has missed, the Cavs have lost. Something like 0 for 9 the last couple years.

Nominating this as the dumbest post I've ever seen in the NBA section. I'll even put it ahead of everything mkasad23 and Brakon00 have said.

[Lakers714]

I agree, never meant to imply that the cavs r as talented as the lakers. It's just a concern that they come out tonight and play inspired ball.

[t-wizzle]

Put a unit on spurs -1... Didn't wanna go too heavy on it but I can't see the Cavs beating the Spurs with the way San Antonio has been playing even with Parker out.

[williams22]

Only joking guys

Thank god you have some sense...i was truly worried.

[mlb]

Lakerboy ... I like Cavs -1... any thoughts? am I stupid haha?

[PAYTON20]

Haha Alamo I was gonna say... Spurs are already to -2 wow

[chadodaddio]

my book says cavs +1.5 the question will they win without lebron yes yes yes they will

[suicidekings]

Wow... the books are all over the place on the Spurs game. SAS -1.5 at Pinny, Cavs -1 at the Greek...

It's available live. Way too much uncertainty to be slamming money down now if you missed the fat Spurs line

[ballaholic]

everygame is a different game my friend.

This is not based on lakerboys pick from yesterday. I think gonzaga it's going to win the ML but they might not cover. It's just what I feel like. And yes they did not any of the last three game, but on 2/12/09 they did cover the spread. It's gambling anything can happen. GL

[Lakers714]

my book says cavs +1.5 the question will they win without lebron yes yes yes they will

No no no, the cavs do not win without bron today. He means a lot more to the cavs than Kobe does to the lakers. Spurs -2 all day and -1 for the 1H.

[habel]

Is the over 189 okay??

[Snowball]

with Tony Parker out for Spurs it's not as easy a choice.
Plus Cavs are home.

I actually think George Hill isn't that much of a downgrade over parker. He plays a lot better D than parker does.

I'm on the over, good luck if you take it
