Why are Lakers favs against Spurs??

**ngates815** · 02-03-11, 05:01 PM

Homecourt....otherwise it'd be a pk em.

Pau Gasol vs Dejuan Blair.

edit: not sure if Bynum is out or not. so that may not be the matchup that would kill the spurs.

**playa420** · 02-03-11, 05:01 PM

are you serious? the lakers will never be underdogs at home

**King Mayan** · 02-03-11, 05:02 PM

Yeah but 3 1/2 point fav???

**rfr3sh** · 02-03-11, 05:05 PM

League average for homecourt advantage is 3.37 pts

also take a look at the referees for the game

Ref #1 25-16-1 Home team ATS
Ref #2 15-20-1 Home team ATS
Ref #3 17-8-1 Home Team ATS

Thx guys I think lakers win but on at last second shot..

**bobbyfk** · 02-03-11, 05:15 PM

I like Spurs in this one

**Ace_of_Spades** · 02-03-11, 05:18 PM

They are at home and are the Lakers.

**Le_Donk** · 02-03-11, 05:22 PM

No chit.

**Illy** · 02-03-11, 05:39 PM

giving up 3 in the nba practically is a pick em anyway.

**antifoil** · 02-03-11, 05:46 PM

you got to be careful betting the spurs on this rodeo roadtrip

**icsky3** · 02-03-11, 05:47 PM

It's a trap...Vegas wants you ont he Spurs..AHHHH

**Bradyd** · 02-03-11, 05:58 PM

Lakers are at home. That's the logical explanation. The real explanation is that the Lakers usually get inflated lines because they are the Lakers, just like the Yankees in baseball...

**MrShrink** · 02-03-11, 06:07 PM

this line is just toooooo wacky. everyone that's been sayin, "yeah, but they're the LAKERS," has been losing $$$.

no preview available for this one on espn.com matchups bout a half an hour ago. this is just weird. DEF the no-play of the day, imo.

**BigJ** · 02-03-11, 06:12 PM

Agree with above: Lakers will never be dogs at home.

I like the Spurs tonight!

**MrSink** · 02-03-11, 06:21 PM

bynum is out

**esulima** · 02-03-11, 06:26 PM

if bynums out then it should not be 3half thats for sure lakers is the play

**politicin** · 02-03-11, 06:28 PM

Why do you say that Esulima? You think they benefit in going small against the Spurs? I guess I kind of agree with this. They need to guard the perimeter as much as possible.

**illfuuptn** · 02-03-11, 06:28 PM

lol you guys always manage to LOVE the wrog side. Lakers is the smart side tonight. Not the "lock" or "guaranteed winner" but the sharps are betting on the Lakers there's no refuting that.

**dabomguy11** · 02-03-11, 06:37 PM

I would think that even though the Lakers have been playing pretty poorly, the loss to the Celtics was an eyeopener. The Spurs are not the Grizzlies or the Bucks, so I think they'll be up for this one. I would have to assume this is at least part of the reason.

**Pauulzcappin** · 02-03-11, 06:38 PM

Because they have Kobe Bryant.

**sweethook** · 02-03-11, 06:44 PM

dont think the lakers are a 100%

**paco** · 02-03-11, 07:10 PM

Manu to have a big game.

**BettingWizard** · 02-03-11, 07:16 PM

whens the last time the lakers were a homedog, with kobe, and had a playoff team? 5 years ago?

wait for a halftime line then if you really think that.......

**Brock Landers** · 02-03-11, 07:38 PM

i watched the spurs get their asses handed to them by Portland the other night..

**hankcream** · 02-03-11, 07:45 PM

Because in their last 3 home games they had to go to ot to beat a weak houston team, got smoked by Boston, and got beat by the feeble Kings. They are on a roll

**ttwarrior1** · 02-03-11, 07:55 PM

is over and under low too?

**riskyProps** · 02-03-11, 08:00 PM

I got the Spurs ML

**pmidy88** · 02-03-11, 08:04 PM

word good question

**clippernation** · 02-03-11, 08:11 PM

Lakers win by 5-10 points.

**lunchbawks** · 02-03-11, 08:28 PM

The spurs are the best team in the league

you have to take the spurs tonight. manu is playing like a goddamn MVP this season.

**austintx05** · 02-03-11, 08:35 PM

it's not different than when the yankees lose 4 straight and still lay big chalk at home. Its the yankees and at home, the end. SAme goes for LA. Called respect.
