indy was +180 on the ml today at the same 4.5 spread.

washington was +171 at +4.5.

do the lakers have a good record on the road?

Yeah, fishy favoring the Lakers. So why wouldn't that reinforce you playing LA?

I know Denver's deep, but they don't have the bigs to keep up with LA and they just played last night (third game in four days with the last two on the road). I just think this is a good situational spot for the Lakers.

deeznutz · 02-03-12, 10:20 PM

Mile high city though.. denver usually covers in this spot, no?

I'm on neither side, but I wouldn't exactly say Denver has no one that can keep up with Bynum and Gasol. Mozgov and Nene can definitely keep up with Gasol and Bynum at home IMO.

If the lakers lose do you pound the jazz on saturday?

Does denver focus on this game more then the game in portland tomorrow out of the trifecta of games knowing if they lose here they will probably lose anyway in port . Its not like anyone besides afflalo played alot last night.

Denver sitting their starters 2H is the only reason I don't go bigger than 1U on this. Nuggets are deeper and I think a better team overall than LA -- I just think this spot is a bad one for them situationally.

lakerboy · 02-03-12, 10:26 PM

Im taking Denver.

h23jdmlude · 02-03-12, 10:27 PM

I'm going to sit this one out. BOL to both of you.

deeznutz · 02-03-12, 10:27 PM

For how much? That was a quick change of mind..

Denver's last night victory over the Clippers, doesn't give the Lakers any advantage, imo.
Agree with No Coin here. That's the spot the Lakers were looking for. They will grab the win tonight.

lakerboy · 02-03-12, 10:32 PM

Denver -4 +102 (3x)

I won a dime already so i think laying 3 units here is fine. Im not buying into the Lakers tonight sorry. Just because the nugs played last night it does not mean they cant win tonight by 5 points versus this terrible lakers road outfit. I think the Lakers will be close the whole game but Denver will bury them in the fourth quarter. The lakeshow just dont win games in the mile high city. I see a big collapse by the lakers in the fourth quarter. Denver is too quick/deep and versatile for this slow ass moving lakers team.

lakerboy · 02-03-12, 10:34 PM

And bang bookmaker hits -3.5.

deeznutz · 02-03-12, 10:34 PM

Line moved to -3.5, are you worried? Is lakers the better pick?

lakerboy · 02-03-12, 10:36 PM

not much because i still make 7 units on the day since i got this in at + money.

LeagueCapper · 02-03-12, 10:36 PM

Lakerboy, here in southern california all the talk is that the office will be making roster changes on the Laker players if they don't get success on this road trip. The players know this as well and their jobs are on the line. Im on the lakers

the players wont get better because of this. As a laker fan it would be good to have changes dont you think?

MidgetTossers · 02-03-12, 10:38 PM

True but their efforts will be through the roof with their jobs on the line. 1rst game of a hard long road trip is the most important to get off on the right foot. Lakers will be very good with their backs against the wall. Read Bynum and the rest of the players quotes they all know roster changes are comin

LeagueCapper · 02-03-12, 10:41 PM

If denver covers ill be back to congratulate you though

lakerboy · 02-03-12, 10:42 PM

cool pal. i am not buying though. They arent good.

No coincidences · 02-03-12, 10:43 PM

I don't really understand the point you were trying to make on the ML being lower than the other games LB. How does that make Denver the play?

deeznutz · 02-03-12, 10:47 PM

that move from -4 to -3.5 has me really worried.

Squarebook greek has denver -4 +100. Pinny denver -2 -110. I think denvers goes off in the fourth.

Pauulzcappin · 02-03-12, 11:55 PM

Denver will win I'm almost sure. Think I'll take them second half.

lakerboy · 02-03-12, 11:59 PM

Pinny is on the lakers paul

MidgetTossers · 02-04-12, 12:01 AM
