lakers have been on a roll and I do think they will win this game but I really doubt they are able to cover a -12 spread at home, lakers are 12-17 ats at home..

The only plus is the public is piled on the bobcats +12 spread and we all know the public is usually wrong

nah I'm just messing around I didn't bet $5,000 but I really like this play. Just wanted to see what you guys thought about it. I might put $500 on it though.

I love the Lakers tonight as well as the Knicks. Will be playing both straight and parlayed.

I'm from Charlotte so I follow the Bobcats and they always get up for the Lakers here in Charlotte b/c it's the only time fans actually come to the game and the Bobcats play hard b/c they feel disrespected that they always play in an empty arena and the one time of year it sells out the fans are there to see the other team.

I just think this Bobcats team has thrown in the towel on the season and the Bobcats suck. If the Lakers take this game seriously it should be a 20 point win. The problem I have with the NBA is it seems like players will take a night off every now and then. But considering the Lakers already lost to the Bobcats once this year I don't think they let it happen again at the staples center.

Bobcats are the only team the Lakers have a losing record against historically. The Lakers are going to put it on the Bobcats tonight. Bobcats just traded the franchises only all-star Gerald Wallace b/c he refused to stop chewing on his mouth piece.

Take it to the bank

Hate to be nitpicky, but we also have a losing record against the Celtics

...at least in important games. I usually don't bet on monster spreads like this, but I'm going to the game so I had to throw a little something on it

GL to us!
I agree though. Usually when Phil says something like that, he means it.

tough call, Bobcats just got blasted by 40 pts and have been good historically after such a bad loss. This is a revenge game for the Lakers but all they have to do is win, they don't need to cover the 12 especially with this being a potential lookahead game against the Spurs. I like the Cats

No play either side is the right play in this game.

Good luck on this play. I'm staying away from this one.

I dont know Kwame Brown should have a big game, being a former laker and all

lakers should win but not sure they covers 12

ugabooga · 03-04-11, 05:08 PM

You never feel as confident when OP says actually no i didn't make that bet but i'm thinking of betting 10% of the original amount i said...which now i'm a little skeptical of as well.

NBA_Brosuf · 03-04-11, 05:53 PM

I'm taking the points. ML on Lakers be good. Remember to fade me. I'm a super below .500 capper. A few more of these loses and I'm out of business for a while.

Brown having a big game?

IS that possible?

Is he going to abuse Gasol, Bynum and Odom inside?

chargers4222 · 03-04-11, 06:35 PM

the fact that people like the bobcats against the lakers would reaffirm your bet. good pick

demens · 03-04-11, 06:37 PM

Lakers couldn't give less of a shit about the Bobcats or any revenge angle you think this game has. I think Bobcats back door this easily or stay close all game.
