Why are the Lakers 10 point favorites?

[HoulihansTX]

The Baron Davis trade?

Higher amount of Lakers fans, b/c its technically a Lakers home game.

Are Laker ticket holder allotted more tickets, than Clipper ticket holders.

Does the Ewing theory hold any significance in this game, with Baron Davis being traded.


Thoughts???

Maybe revenge game for Lakers, as they lost to them in their last meeting.

Its because the Clippers suck.

Couldn't put it any better myself. We just smashed the Hawks by 20+ as 7.5 point favorites and won in Portland which is a rare occasion. 10 points seems pretty spot on. I'm actually going to the game tonight but I'm hesitating to pull the trigger. Last game in late December it got kinda chippy towards the end of the game. Of course Baron Davis was the instigator and he's now gone, but the Clippers might come out motivated and sneak in a backdoor cover.

your right its a revenge game and the Clips are getting weary. Clips are back at home and it appears the Lakers may have decided to turn the intensity up a bit, but they can eaily slip back into their old ways again. The Clips on the other hand can be playing great and then all of a sudden they only put up 10 pts in a quarter. Tough call, lean Lakers

[monkeyking]

they are 2-0 since the break while the clips are 0-2, thats all the books need to make it a big line

I think your spot on here. Still, a lot of points to lay against a team that plays them well. Will mo williams and moon be playing.

Clippers will get the cover here

I think they won that game with Fisher's buzzer beater?

Oh sorry my mistake. That was the first meeting.

[madrabbit]

lakers will cover. Youre right tho, over the course of the season they dont deserve their 10 pt spread. But I think they go off tonight. Odom, Gasol and Kobe will combine for 70-80 pts

[suicidekings]

This is going to be a beatdown. Lakers will win easily.

[Bajadave]

I have a feeling its going to be a shoot out with no defense, make it if you can kind of game. What do you think?

[forzuto13]

Clippers always play close when they are at home against the Lakers. I'd take the points knowing these two teams at Staples.

[scholesy]

no depth for point guard spot..Bledsoe is not ready to run the point right now
