Lakers Still Look Like Team To Beat

No.. Lebron is the most clutch player in the history of basketball. Someone will post a chart in a minute to try to disprove 99 percent of the population.

have to disagree coach. Heat without Bosh different team especially against the Lakers with there size. Still don't see the Lakers a threat to win the nba title this season. With that bench and Derek Fisher at point. Teams like the Heat, Bulls, Thunder just to name a few better teams.

. But Lakers are lookin good today i'm usually wrong anyway and drunk.

Perfect example as to why fading the lakers has been big money this year. This was obviously made because of how Miami played in LA Sunday. They didnt have Boshe and were going through the motions, add in the refs basically getting rid of Wade and it was an easy win for the Lakers. Miami couldt care less about some mid season game against a cellar dweller like LA. The only hype around that game was media generated. Lakers winning just made better odds betting against them going forward.

But since they cant win a game SU as big favs that doesnt really matter but it makes the MLs better I guess.

Lakers will be tooth and nail trying to make the play offs. Once these teams that have had a few injuries start getting healthy Lakers will be hard pressed to beat them out of these spots they have. Lakers have been playing a relatively easy schedule, they did fairly well last month, but April will be the real test, theyre 2-2 right now in March which I figured they would be, they obviously lost a game I thought they would win but also won a game I didnt think they would so it all evens out. They should still be above 500 going forward, but just barely. Assuming no injuries of course.

But statements like this are why the ML on the opposite side was +225 and +300 the past couple nights. I played ML last night not tonight (stupid me) but I figured Lakers would show something and win, but only by 3 or 4. Instead they choke away a massive halftime lead and show why they really arent all that good.

Makes for good drama though I guess. The best thing they have going for them is Clippers are shit now too and cant win, if Clippers were beating these teams they are supposed to be beating CLips would be 3 or 4 games ahead of Lakers by now.

wantitall disappears when the lakers crush miami and returns after a 2 game losing streak

wantitall you have not been fading the lakers this year. If you have you have not made "big" money, because they are right around .500 ATS.

wantitall you have also posted all over the forum that you no longer gamble after the millions you made. You need to get your story straight here pal.

Your lottery prediction not looking good.

wantitall4moi · 03-08-12, 12:10 AM

I dont live on the forums I actually have a life havent been around anywhere for almost a week. I commented on the lakers and Miami before I left though, said lakers had a shot to beat them without bosh. Which they did, just another fake win like I said it would be and how the lakers would then start being big favorites after that game, which they have been.

Lakers are now 16-23 ATS where I play, some places might have them 17-21. Still a bad record. Especially for a team thats 23-16 SU. Whenever youre upside down (SU wins equal to or less than ATS losses) that is an indicator of a very poor team, or one that is extremely over rated. lakers fit both definitions.

Lakers are 2.5 games from 10th place, 2 games from 9th. if they go on a bad stretch this month they cant make it up in April unless everyone they play rests guys, which I dont see happening in a short season. Lakers wont win 7 games in April, so whatever they get now will be what they get overall. I didnt think they could win 35, they have an outside shot at it, I figured if they stayed perfectly healthy they would win 34 at most. Season still isnt over and an injury is only a game away with this team, especially since theyre still playing massive amounts of minutes.

Regardless if Lakers do make it in that just means a horrible draft pick and more bad news for their rebuilding project. It also means an easy out for who ever is playing them, and more than likely a big cash on a series price that even without home court advantage lakers would probably be favored.

As I said them missing the play offs doesnt really matter. I said they would not be good, and they arent. they have pretty much the dame record as all the other mediocre teams in the west have, they certainly arent the team people thought they would be.

But just to put you all at ease in case I dont comment every time the Lakers play a game, I am not going to be around too much for the foreseeable future so if they win and I dont comment it isnt some nefarious plan, I didnt comment on that joke of a game last night either.

You said they would be a lottery team. There the 2nd-3rd best team in the west. Every prediction you made is wrong.

theyre in 5th or 6th now so how are they the second or third best team in the west? Once Dallas gets their heads out and Denver gets a few guys back theyll be 7 or 8. If Portland gets it together then what?

Also the season is barely half through a long way to go yet. One injury to one of their big 3 and theyre done.

Theyre not too far off where I would have thought they would be right now, I figured 20-19 I think at this point, that would have put them out of the play offs at this point, but basically they havea small cushion on teams that are beter than they are but had some injuries and guys missing time. Lakers lost Bynum for 3 games and Blake for a stretch not exactly earth shattering losses.

We will see where they are in a month and what they have to do to stay there. if theyre in 7th and only a game or so ahead of a couple hungry teams I dont like their chances, healthy or not. They play the Spurs 3 times in April at best its 1-2 more than likely 0-3 As SA might be looking for a high sed and trying to rack up wins. Just go look at Lakers last 8 games, the only gimme is maybe @ Sactown which happens to be the final game of the year, it might actually be a needed win to get in the play offs, good thing its 4 days after they play OKC. which might be a break for the lakers since by then OKC might be resting guys. But they play Spurs 3 times (2 on the road) in their last 8 games, theyre @ golden St, home to Denver and Dallas, then the aforementioned games against Sac and OKC.

Like I said theyll be fighting it out til the bitter end, even if theyre where they are now and 2 or 3 games up on the number 9 team they have to basically win out to stay in. Their last 8 games are brutal. That has been the great equalizer all along. So at 23-16 IMO theyre basically at 500 right now as they will probably go 1-7 in that last 2 week stretch, which added to 23-16 is 24-23, so what they do in between then is what theyre record over 500 will be.

wantitall, the hooker guy, said they were a lottery team, i just believe they will prob be better than that.

Ghenghis Kahn · 03-08-12, 01:20 AM

fuckin lakers... they had to show up sunday and ruin my biggest bet of the year. then lose two in a row to some scrubs. they are not the team to beat. not even close.

zsr · 03-08-12, 01:35 AM

All I saw out of wantitalls 4 paragraph post was that they would have to win out to stay in

BetterBizness · 03-08-12, 01:35 AM

The guy is a fukking clown. He's MIA when Miami loses and lakers win but shows up at times like this. What a blatantly pathetic joke of a tool

beerman2619 · 03-08-12, 03:14 AM

I think we all agree unless hell freezes over the Lakers with that current squad will not win the NBA championship this season. If you believe they will you are a bucking moron sorry man. Derek Fisher give me a break. Along with that bench of the Lakers.
