i swear i have no idea why Lakers are still fav at -140 to win the series at pinny. this is a joke. based on lines, they are evenly matched. lakers -5.5 at home, DEN -4 at home.. but Den has the home court now....
i swear, that line should be Den -135/LA +125..
just like last year, Lakers were -200 over bos..lol.. yeah right.. bos home court, best record in nba and you know what happened there. i made my line last year bos -145/+135..
line is so high on lakers because its the freakin lakers.... people just love betting the lakers..

andy, do you realize that line is now +800.. i calculated that DEN is about +800 to win the next 3.. they are -170 fav next game at home and will be favs again in game 4..
wow, +2250 when the line is +800 roughly now? if you bet a 3 team parlay on DEN in each of the next 3 games, you'd bet about 8-1.. and you got +2250?
andy, you now have a great bet here and DEN can easily win 4-1.. they are that good..

When Lakers fly to Denver it will be a slaughterhouse. Remember that even with 75% of the calls going their way in LA they only managed to squeeze one win. If Houston and Utah managed to beat them 3 times Denver will send them packing. You can't win games in the NBA from the FT line all the time. At some point you have to make shots and Lakers can't make the big shot when it matters the most.

The Lakers were 6-1 as dogs this year. All of those were road games. They've been at their best when they've played in the toughest arenas in the league.
This won't be easy for Denver.

Relax...it's a 7 game series. Boston got beat 8 times before they reached the finals last year. All that matters is who gets 4 wins first.

Right. I would go heavy on the Lakers ML the next 2 games. If the first one doesn't cash, the 2nd will most definitely.

i know the Lakers are the "Lakers" but I think they are one step slower than Denver and you can see that in the first two games in LA. i can't imagine things getting better for LA in Denver, only worse.

I picked Lakers to win Championship, but I actually agree with JJ, I think this series is over. Denver is unbeatable at home right now, pure and simple.

75% of the calls in favor of LA? What game were you watching? Denver had a clear advantage at the line in Game 1 and if Denver didn't foul at the end, then it would have been even more distinct. Game 2 was closer in terms of FT disparity but the refs still missed a lot of calls. J.R. Smith clearly ran across the lane during that crucial jump ball. Melo pushed Ariza after he had controlled the jump ball and used his off arm to clear out Kobe on the other end.
Lakers can't make a big shot when it matters most? They have the best closer in Kobe Bryant. pavy, these are ridiculous statements. Either you aren't watching these games or you've lost your mind. I don't mean to offend you but re-read those statements and then reassess if what you said is even close to being logical.

75% of what calls? In Game 2 Denver got all the calls. Kobe, Gasol, Ariza et al were muckled and no fouls called on Denver, then the refs called ticky-tack BS fouls on the same guys at the other end.
The refs control the game. If they call it fair the Lakers win.

Beating the Hornets and Mavs is not the same as beating the Lakers or Cleveland. The Lakers have proved they can win in Denver.

Not during the Nuggets' unconcious current streak they haven't, the Denver hasn't even had a close game at home in two months! The last time they hosted the Lakers, they held them to 79 points and 29% shooting.

Cleveland was 39-2 at home and hadn't won a playoff game by less than 10 points.
Nothing is certain in the world of sports betting. I'm just sayin'.
Good luck with your plays.

I am sick and tired of the refs favoring the Lakers. Billups is getting mugged by Kobe all the time and no calls are given. They called 4 fouls on Jones the first six minutes when two of them he was just holding position and Kobe hit him while shooting or trying to push him around. Gasol is pushing Nene all over the place and every time he gets a block it's a clear foul not called.
I wouldn't be surprised if Lakers don't win another game. Guys like Fisher, Farmar, Walton are not even good enough for European teams and you expect these incompetent asses to help Kobe who is clearly having the worst playoffs of his career?

I agree pavyracer but Fisher is good though. He just didn't come through yesterday.
The Lakers should have kept Vladimir Radmanovic. Why isn't Adam Morrison, Josh Powell, and the All-Star PG from the China team... Sun Yue getting some play time? Give them a chance Phil, those are good players with great potential if give the right opportunity.
Lakers should get rid of...
Luke Walton
Jordan Farmar
Sasha Vujacic
Mbenga
Shannon Brown (maybe keep him)
...Phil needs to readjust his starting lineup
PG. Derek Fisher
SG. Kobe Bryant
SF. Lamar Odom
PF. Paul Gasol
C. Andrew Bynum
And have the following come off the bench but keep at least 1 starter in and rotate from that...
Ariza
Sun Yue
Adam Morrison
Josh Powell
and Shanon Brown
... A 9 man rotation is good...
But anywho... Nuggets in 6

Name one team in the playoffs that didn't have a better PG than Lakers?
Hawks - Bibby
Heat - Wade
Pistons - Stuckey
Sixers - Miller
Celtics - Rondo
Cavs - Williams
Bulls - Rose
Magic - Alston
Spurs - Parker
Jazz - Williams
Mavericks - Kidd
Blazers - Roy
Rockets - Brooks
Hornets - Paul
Nuggets - Billups
Fisher is the #16...dead last. You can't win the NBA Finals having the #16 PG in the playoffs.
