I should start laying bets on the team I dont think will take it. Seems like the one that should keeps getting pawned

No consistency whatsoever in the NBA

In a month or two with MLB we will be bitching about blown saves and what have you. It's all the same whatever league.

Seriously. These NBA players are really lazy. Too much money and no effort. I wish the NBA was ran more like the NFL and players were actually benched for not trying.

If you made millions of dollars in guaranteed money at your job and it was physically taxing, would you give 100% every night?

You can say that but NFL/soccer players make millions in guaranteed money and they at least try every game. The one's that don't find the bench very soon.

NFL money isn't as guaranteed as baseball and basketball. Far from it.

NFL players play once a week. More physically demanding game, but it's still once a week.

This was all about the situation both teams were in. No travel for Grizzlies as they played in LA last night as well...Randolph is back and healthy and finding a groove along with Gay...Not to mention the loss from last night means a revenge night tonight for grizzlies. Add in the extra motivation for a national tv game and this is exactly what you get.

I went huge on Grizz +7 and just put in a unit bet on Lakers -6 2H to try and middle this puppy.

Nothing to tough about this...a few good pro cappers had Grizz tonight as well....

Would love to be in LeBron's entourage. You trying tonight playa? Naw bro, too much sex last night might just run the court yah know. Pound the other team.

yeah I agree Lakers 20-3 at home and lose to this team???? UNREAL!

Big Bear · 03-26-12, 12:11 AM

Only explanation for this is the Lakers did not even try. I am not betting NBA again until playoffs

tbh it really didnt surprise me. Lakers are one of the most inconsistent teams in the NBA. I should have known better than to lay my money on them. meh

MLB coming up dude, fade Mariners

fux the NBA

Baseball is much worse. People always say can't wait until NBA starts when baseball is burying them.

JOHON8 · 03-26-12, 02:02 AM

Why do people keep making threads complaining that this league is unpredictable? There's a reason why the odds are so attractive. The bigger problem is most people were on Lakers because they were tired of losing, it's called a gambling fallacy look it up before you waste more money.

Big Bear · 03-26-12, 03:11 PM

still cant believe the lack of effort by the Lakers last night!

Big Bear · 03-26-12, 03:12 PM

who would of thought theynwould have taken the night off??? espn game playing primetime at home and they were rested

Maybe some people are better baseball cappers... Football seems to be the easiest as I see people on here going 9-0 one weekend in college ball.

100% absolutely correct, and we can thank michael jordan for revealing the greatness of individual accomplishment and patrick ewing for promoting and pimping it as the union president at the time of the CBA

I had Memphis ML last night (posted before game) as Memphis matches up very well against the Lakers frontcourt with the Grizzlies length inside. They also match up with the Lakers shitty guards as Memphis has some really good defensive guards. The Lakers are turnover prone and Memphis leads the league in causing turnovers.

And also liked it because of the fact that the Lakers are still the Lakers and have a very difficult time covering-7 type spreads. They are not a team that blows teams out. And I didn't see Memphis getting blown out in LA on consecutive days. That's rare for a visiting team playing a B2B against both LA teams

Also, Marc Gasol scored ZERO points in the last meeting vs the Lakers in LA, vs his brother, and thought the team would remember that with Zach Randolph also included in this one (was out in the last meeting),,
