You got me on that one Pal

**sweetjones55** · 06-16-10, 10:20 AM

Lakers will hit the line on the dot and win by 7 points.

**jonblayze8** · 06-16-10, 01:03 PM

I would think 1q bet is better then...-2?

**fatty mcgoo** · 06-16-10, 09:32 PM

yeah sj i am looking for the best bet for tom...am thinking 1st quarter lakers?

**sweetjones55** · 06-16-10, 10:50 PM

Lakers 1q is the only thing I'd play if I had to make a play on this game.. Take the opening line because it will move against you if you wait

**sweetjones55** · 06-17-10, 12:22 AM

I am starting to think that this Perkins injury is going to have a more significant impact on this game then people might think. The synergy can be very off without him in the starting lineup. I can see Big Baby choking in game 7 of the NBA Finals in LA having to all of a sudden start. I can also see him getting into foul trouble very fast with the Lakers knowing they are short depthy wise. The other fill in would be Rasheed who is shooting 33% from the field and 22% from 3's in the Finals. I think people are underestimating this injury to Perkins.

I hear you, SJ. But what about the other aspect -- teams rallying when one of their stars goes down. And the opponent maybe letting up a bit thinking it's going to be a bit easier. Remember how well LA played those first few games without Kobe. Of course, that was regular season, not G7 for the championship. I hope the Lakers don't let up one iota but wounded animals tend to make me a little nervous.

Well number one Perkins isn't a star. And number two the Lakers will DEFINITELY NOT let up because a guy that averages 6 points and 6 rebounds is not playing. This is Game 7 of the NBA Finals at home, this is what basketball players dream of their whole life.

**russian_power** · 06-17-10, 04:08 AM

what do you think about taking the under at 187. need some help deciding on what to do.

**Goat Milk** · 06-17-10, 05:40 AM

Don't underestimate Sheed. He's washed up, but he will come to play game 7. Stats should not influence anyone's pick in this game. The rebounding stat in this series for example is one of the most deceiving there is.

Pauly you truly are so clueless its not even funny. How long have you been gambling NBA? Like 2-3 years? My man the money WILL NEVER decide a championship game, ever. If 79% were on Lakers ML hypothetically, 10% on Lakers ats and the other 10% on Boston spread, and 1% on Boston ML, according to your logic, Boston will win the game right? Pauly you have so much to learn bro you stilll think this game is about Vegas making money???.

I think the 1st half UNDER may be a better play if you are going to play the UNDER. The reason being that this is a championship game so the team down at the end is going to foul and foul a lot. I could see either team fouling down even 10 points with 20 seconds left and there being a lot of points scored that way.

**fatty mcgoo** · 06-17-10, 08:23 AM

thanks sj...i think people are thinking way too much that the celts will show up with more energy without perkins,imo perkins went out in the 1st quarter and wallace and big baby did not do a thing in game 6, so what is to make me think that they will do this again

I really don't expect much especially now with the added pressure Baby as added on himself proclaiming that they will hoist the tropyhy, some what of a guranteed win. As if the pressure of all of a sudden having to step in the starting role in Game 7 of the NBA Finals wasn't enough for Baby.

**sweetjones55** · 06-17-10, 11:14 AM

Lakers have won every 1Q by 3 or more at home in the playoffs with the exception of game 2 against Boston. Hopping on the LA train at anything less than -3 isn't a bad idea IMO.

**og4667** · 06-17-10, 01:00 PM

seems like a lot of people like the Celtics tonight but I think your right about underestimating the Perkins injury.

It's just very tough to make that adjustment to your starting lineup all of a sudden in Game 7 of the NBA Finals on the road. And they only had one day in between game 6 and game 7 to prepare.

**pako74** · 06-17-10, 03:24 PM

Good Luck tonight on the Lakers. I have 5 units on them for the series so i might just watch tonight. But damn, lakers 1st qtr looks so juicy.

**sweetjones55** · 06-17-10, 06:47 PM

Good luck to everyone tonight on their plays. Next person that says GO LAKERS with a picture of Kobe Bryant hoisting the NBA Championship trophy gets 50 points from me.

**lakerboy** · 06-17-10, 06:50 PM

GO LAKERS

**AmpleGamble** · 06-17-10, 06:50 PM

GO LAKERS!

**sweetjones55** · 06-17-10, 06:52 PM

Sent you five for second place Ample lol.
