+240 is the best your going to get trust me.lakers wont be losing for a long time.i expect them to go on a big winning streak.

12-2 isnt bad right now but 25-2 would be a lot better.

Books don't cut the same foolishness as your average bettor does, hence it why they win. Your average bettor sees the Heat as a lost cause. Beyond stupid. Your average bettor also doesn't understand the easy schedule the Lakers have played. Why in the world would the Lakers have any better chance of winning the championship now than they did at the beginning of the season? 14 games into the season tells me something I didn't know then???

I hope to see the heat line drop hundreds of points if they continue to slide and then I wopuld put something on them. I think they will be ok when they play a couple months together and get miller and udonis back--I see they waived jerry stackhouse today and picked aup a journeyman big man..Eric Dampier or some shit

West is looking way harder it is not that the Heat would be favored over the Lakers at this point but easier path. The Lakers are bigger underdogs to me now with what the Spurs, Hornets, and Jazz have shown in the early part of the season

The books are counting on the Heat being healthy come playoff time, which will make a difference. There's still one major problem though; they have to play Celtics to get to the finals, and they aren't beating the Celtics.

Not neccessarily Boston cannot beat Atlanta in a 7 game series depends what the seedings are.

If you think the hawks are sending any of the top 3 teams in the east home youre crazy

I'd take them to lose if I didnt wanna sit on my money all season.

pavyracer · 11-23-10, 01:25 PM

Why do you want to have money sitting for 8 months?

Atlanta swept Boston last year pal, Atlanta just drives right around their old players like they are in quicksand. Boston won one game off revenge wont contintue
