Lakers can beat the Spurs in the playoffs. I'd be more worried about the Clips and OKC. Lakers have a lot more trouble with them...

If they peak at the right time it is possible.

This years Lakers and that year's Miami are worlds apart in every situation. First of all, Miami didn't have anywhere the degree of struggles the Lakers have. There was never a point were Miami was in danger of not making the playoffs.

I know I'm defending something hard to defend but weren't the Celtics at some point last year in danger of not making the playoffs? I remember at last eyar's ASB some people even had Cleveland making it over them. Now obviously this has 2 flaws

1. The Celtics play in the East where most teams suck.
2. Only about 30% of the season remains whereas last year at the ASB there was around half left.

Lakers will get every call to get them that 8th spot. Fading them from now on has added risk.

In the Blazers game, notice that out of bounds call that was overturned? MWP fouled Batum. It was a joke, he clearly hit him on the arm & the
commentators ignored it.

Those lines don't make sense. Are you basing them on an 8th or 7th seed?

Most NBA series have huge chalk but if the Lakers are healthy you never know.
Books respect the Lakers still, won't put up any good odds to win championship. Around +3000 is the best I could find.

Yeah but you cant review fouls when you go to the monitor. It kinda sucks but they made the right call to overturn it. Now obviously had they beforehand called artests toul there would be no debate.

Chill I don't think that would pay better but I could be wrong. If Lakers beat OKC/SA in the first round, they are gonna be the favorites to win the West after that. trust me.

Ridiculous. Let's say the Lakers beat the Spurs in round 1. They are then going to be favored to win the West with the Clips and Thunder still left?

the Lakers would not be able to beat any of the teams on the playoffs*

but the point is moot–*Lakers not getting there this season, or next.

ramones951 · 02-23-13, 08:54 PM

Terrible, terrible, terrible odds.

Consider this : they are +1100 to win the west although they are like +130 to make it into the playoffs at all and would probably be about +250 at least in a series without homecourt to the spurs or thunder. Do the math.

wantitall4moi · 02-23-13, 10:52 PM

Lakers will probably make the play offs the way their last couple games have been reffed, especially last night it is obvious the edict has come down to help them anyway they can be helped. They should have lost that game last night by double digits, but outscoring your opponent by 30 from the line has a way of helping you out.

Any other time I wouldnt care if they slipped in and missed out on a draft pick but since they dont get it anyway then it would be better to see them win the whole lottery process and have to give that pick tot he Suns.

wantitall4moi · 02-23-13, 10:53 PM

oh yeah forgot to say no way in hell or anywhere else do the Lakers come close to winning the west, they should be 20-1 to just win two series

King Mayan · 02-23-13, 10:54 PM

Goat milk, great thread man...

oldscho0led · 02-24-13, 03:28 AM

love you Goat, and I'm a Laker fan. But just dont see them winning the West. Making the playoffs, yes.

Ralphie1412 · 02-24-13, 03:39 AM

Out of all the stupid fuccckking bullshit u have spewed on this site can we please make this the last? When the lakers miss the playoffs or lose in the first round can you leave SBR as some sort of grand finale of retardation?

goat doesn't have a clue

Luckycharms2012 · 02-24-13, 05:32 AM

Not a bad bet, i probably would have bet $50 though but i'm cheap like that....

The Giant · 02-24-13, 06:29 AM

This is actually a terrible bet, with absolutely no value to it.

You would actually be better off betting the Lakers make the playoffs. I'm not sure what the odds are, but let's say it's +100 (should be a lot higher), and you put your $100 on it. And then you bet them subsequently in each of the following three series, you would be way better off. This isn't debatable.

Let's assume they were +200 every round....(and they would be a lot higher than that)....your $100 wager would be worth $5300.

If they were +300 every round, you would be looking at $12,700.

You bet into a horrible line, Goat. Just horrific. I'm surprised someone with your vast NBA knowledge would do this.

KingJD31 · 02-24-13, 08:06 AM

Good value bet

There is no math to do. The Lakers would not be the favorite if they win a first round playoff series.

zsr · 02-24-13, 05:42 PM

Guys dont worry his credibility is on the line

You've lost more money than anyone since you've joined SBR, what fuking credibility? You havent had ONE winning season in ANY sport, as ive documented. Your down 20K+, maybe more since you quit posting units for all of your football plays.

This pretty much sums it up.

The only future he has ever won, is Miami last year. And he acted like he's the only one in the world who picked them, the biggest favorite since the 90s Bulls.

Of course he forgot to mention he guaranteed they would go 74-8 and win he finals the year they lost to Dallas. He lost about 3200 on that series, i think. Which is peanuts compared to his NFL losses, and lifetime NBA losses

Italy · 02-24-13, 05:55 PM

Lakers and the refs will win the west..for.sure

hanco21 · 02-24-13, 07:59 PM

I have two futures to win the championship on them put in the beginning of the season. I considered them losses months ago.

With the amount of money he's lost the last 3-4 years, he bought his bookie a new house and probably 10 cars

Not a chance

pavyracer · 02-26-13, 12:45 PM

There is a bigger chance we get hit by a meteorite again than Lakers winning the West in the playoffs.

BigDofBA · 02-26-13, 01:40 PM

Goat predicted team USA would win gold in the Olympics and we all know what happened.

He has also predicted that Jordan's Bulls would win a championship. We know who won those debates.

Guy is sharp.

I think you forget about him predicting that Phelps would win at least one gold medal at the Beijing olympics.

Lakers were +1100 when I posted this to win the west. So if it's so easy, go put up 100 bucks and get back 1100

not over the thunder but the odds will be similar. yes lakers will be favored over the clippers 100% if they beat SA in the first round.
