Think Tank For Laker Bettors Only...

buying points is usually not a good idea in basketball.

like the fouls over 3 by grant hill
reason he will be the primary defender on kobe in the starting lineup, kobe will draw the fouls on hill

just one of the many options, not a suggestion..

i was thinking the same thing.

the missed ft by kobe under 1.5 is too risky, remember kobe has an injured finger on his shooting hand, he may not be as accurate as before

i like the overs on artest and fisher, especially fisher.
phx will just let them take the 3's. artest may be under pressure to pass more, though.. but fisher when he's lined up will take the shot.. what you think about these two props ?
11.5 seems friendly considering phx is the opponent.

like the under on gasol

**Snowball** · 05-16-10, 08:43 PM

1. Kobe points under 31.5
2. Kobe over 5 assits
3. Missed FTs by Kobe Over 1.5
4. Points my Amare Over 22.5
5. Lakers TT Unde 109?

Missed FT's by Kobe Over 1.5, this is my favortive prop out of the ones you listed. Kobe will definitely be getting to the line at will tomorrow and throughout the series with G. Hill on him and the more attempts he takes the higher percentage of him missing atleast 2.

**Snowball** · 05-16-10, 11:02 PM

we seem to agree that it's more likely Hill will have at least 3 fouls covering Kobe. Remember 3 is a push also so only at 2 or less would the bet actually lose.
i just booked laker odds on series 4-0 (9-1), 4-1 (5-2) and 4-2 (4-1) in a fashion where if one wins i will profit. just not touching 4-3. This is superior to the series flat line payout by far.
all my wagers are broad swept over by a Laker ML -300 overriding wager tomorrow night.

As far as Kobe's assists at 5 i wonder if he will try to take charge of the game (read: shot hog) and that fear is keeping me from hitting it but I am definitely open to arguments for it... 5 assists seems low, once again 5 would be a push
I never mind pushes..
