Big LB, or just a regular-sized play?

I think the Lakers win here too, but every time I bet against the Spurs, Manu goes off for like 30.

The Lakers are going to win in the Alamo on Sunday. Spurs wont win 2 big b2b games like that. Lakers should have beaten the spurs the last time in LA but this time they will. The LA line went from +3 to 2.5 and the total dropped a bit. This indicates that LA will impose there will on the spurs. Phil usually doesnt bother much with games like this all year long but like he did in Boston he will have the boys ready here. The Lakers will want to let the Spurs know if there is a series between these 2 teams and game 7 is in San Antonio the Lakers can win there. Expect LA to shut the interior down . It should be a classic defensive battle.

Lakers ML +120

It'll be interesting to see the movement tomorrow when the books open up bets of $5,000+. I still think the Spurs bench again will be the difference in the game. Lakers only threat off the bench is Odom and he hasn't had a game over 15 points his last 10 games. Lakers will badly need a big game from him and Shannon Brown and I just don't see it on the road. Spurs bench played their best game, maybe ever, last game against the Heat. I think that confidence carries over into this game.

A nickel tops. Spurs have destroyed me this year.

Good luck. If I don't start winning NBA bets soon, a nickel's about all I'll have left once baseball season comes around -- literally.

The Lakers definitely owe the Spurs a homecourt loss here, after the last game they played. I have a fair line for this game as LAL +1.5 & ML+121 so I think it's a pretty sharp line.

That being said, I think it's probably the right side to be on in this game. Good luck LB.

Any real sports gambler know that when the Lakers are +money you take the other side. Why would vegas make it that easy to win money. Ill prolly just touch the totals, but if I bet it will be on the spurs.

Actually, I see 71% of the early public bets on San Antonio.

Bynum had a beast of a game vs CHA. Granted, it was CHA, but I will be interested to see Bynum and Duncan go at it!

I thought you going to quit looking at line movement after you created a thread on that.

bradnowell · 03-06-11, 01:11 AM

does vegas give gifts all the time

whadeeb · 03-06-11, 01:12 AM

I'm gonna go with the lakers as well.

There hasn't been any line movement for this game, moron.

NBA_Brosuf · 03-06-11, 01:25 AM

The spurs team is like the buddha. He is humble even when the fragrant foul shot was upon one of their team mates.

The lakers on the other hand is a show boat team.

I'm not the buddha but I like his teachings because he is nothing like a showboat.

All you going to do is bring up the public everytime. Its either this or line movement. One or the other.

I can bet there is ZERO CHANCE you cannot make a thread where it doesn't relate to either of these 2 topics

This might be one of the dumbest comments Ive ever seen.

Jakesteen · 03-06-11, 02:26 AM

It's a tougher call than it appears at first glance.

HOT WINGS · 03-06-11, 02:34 AM

I like the under 191.5, not sure about the spread. Spurs kill me everytime I go against them, so I have been trying to avoid that scenario. GL LB

vyomguy · 03-06-11, 02:41 AM

i think spurs win here....but i will stay away.

JOHON8 · 03-06-11, 04:02 AM

I don't understand how Lakers ML is a gift after what Spurs did to Miami at home. It doesn't matter what the Lakers do, if the spurs continue their good shooting form like we've already witnessed then it's over.

Lakers ML is nothing better than a coin flip, far from a gift IMO.

JBT · 03-06-11, 04:42 AM

Lakers are a bunch of ferry's...

mr.inpak · 03-06-11, 05:10 AM

whenever a line seems to easy either dont bet the game or bet the other side

You dont think that early money like this is actually sharps? I would think most of the public makes their bets a couple hours before the games am i wrong??

Just cap the games. Line movement meanss NOTHING.

Confused lb, this was your quote in NC's thread, so how do you deduce from the top statement that the Lakers will impose their will on the Spurs

skaterplayer808 · 03-06-11, 05:21 AM

so who has the fishy line here? i wonder why spurs are only -2.5 despite having only 2 losses at home. that seems kinda fishy to me

MadMajor · 03-06-11, 06:38 AM

I thought you said that you would just hand the title to the spurs and that lakers should fire phil after the loss in la at their last meeting, and now you wanna pound la at sa?

bet with your brains, not your heart..

AL1322 · 03-06-11, 06:43 AM

cant bet against the spurs at home..not a good plan

Pauulzcappin · 03-06-11, 06:48 AM

22 wins in a row at home, I think I'm gonna go with the Spurs.

nbaprofosor · 03-06-11, 07:11 AM

if you win this play .its not gone make you hero.after terrible pick you give to the people.any way if you lost dont come back plss
no logic,writeup/explanations/im gone take the lakers just because you said so

kobstopa · 03-06-11, 07:31 AM

these spectacle game give no +ev advantage now, maybe in the playoff time
we have 8 other games to pick as a better spot, say
boston at bucks
boston -7

if it make sense

nbarlotta3 · 03-06-11, 08:45 AM

You do know the Spurs haven't lost at home in 20+ games?

StanleySharp · 03-06-11, 09:06 AM

The Spurs is the only play here
