    Why were the Jazz-4.5 tonight over the world champs?

    Im so pissed for not pounding the lakers. The line was too high and made no sense considering that both teams had 3 days off. Also the suns win last night obviously gave the lakeshow a sense of urgency.

    So easy, pounded the ML for 500$ and feel like I didn't bet nearly enough.

    i went ahead and took the Lakers +4.5 and the OVER and my reasoning is the Lakers would be ready knowing that they blew it in this situation last year vs Jazz and also in 2008...plus road teams had a 3 gm win streak going so i said F IT LAKERS!!!

    So much for Vegas mind games.

    The Jazz were -4.5 because the books expected the Jazz to actually fvcking deliver for once in their sorry existence.

    This is an element that I took advantage of in the first round, and completely neglected today...

    Post of the fvcking day!

    I laugh to myself when I read all this bullshit about teams having to win when their down 0-2 and coming home, Stern wants this or that...Bullshit!!

    The better teams win in the playoffs.

    I knew it was the world champs vs an undermanned loser jazz team. Better team normally wins a tight one.

    lb I had the impression that the lakers were going to win this game after the line came out on wednesday, it was my first 10 unit bet ever and am so ecstatic at the moment.
