Lakers 13.5 point underdogs to Spurs

[Ghazi]

:wow:wow:wow

Vegas seems to think the Lakers are now comparable to teams like the Hornets/Wizards

To put in perspective, Spurs were 13.5 point favorites over the Hornets a few weeks ago (home game)
The Wizards were 13.5 point underdogs to the Heat on Sunday and 11.5 point underdogs to the Thunder AT HOME the next day.

Big Ghaz thinks the Lakers will lose by 15+ ... but is leaning "no play" on this game.

[Trainwreck2100]

no play is the right play, if the spurs are up big main guys rest and Kobe beats up on scrubs for freebie points

[EmoKobe]

why does everyone hate us so much? fuck :cry

[Trainwreck2100]

why are you a clippers fan?

I'm jumping ships son, trying to jump on the back of someone and can't do that at lakers

[Molotov]

Those odds sound about right to me.

[racm]

Spurs by 6, tbh...

That's too big of a line for a Kobe-led team with a healthy Nash. Take LA.

Spurs should destroy this team.

But the Spurs can be schizo at times, especially when they get a 15-20 point late in the 3rd/early in the 4th. At this point, Pop usually gets conservative, hoping the bench can nurse or increase the lead so that the starters can rest, and the opposing team usually goes on a mini-run.

The game probably plays out like this:

-Spurs up 10 at the half, 66 to 56.

-Trade baskets with Lakers for half the 3rd.

-Spurs eventually crack it open. Go up by 22 with about 2:00 minutes remaining in the quarter. Time out Lakers.

-Pop sits starters.

-Nash and Kobe hit a couple of threes to close the quarter. 16 point lead.

-4th begins. All Lakers starters still in, playing like it's Game 7 because they're tired of getting embarrassed.

-Meanwhile Pop has one of those mad-scientist lineups on the floor.

-Lakers cut lead to 10. ST starts melting down.

-Starters back in.

-Trade baskets rest of the game. Spurs win by 8-12 points.

Sounds like your typical laker game tbh.

fucking Spurs better bring their A game and don't fuck around

Lakers old, no defense at all, on b2b, vs red hot at home Spurs. Without 3 best bigs. Spread is right. Spurs could kill them, especially after laying egg @NOH. They could have been waiting for Lakers.

[Brunodf]

No way the Lakers will lose this

[Banzai]

generous number..number should be larger TBH

[jjktkk]

It will be a nice scrimmage. Good time to get some of the bench guys some pt.

[Jt.ONE]

likewise to what Banzai said, generous number


no pau/dwight/hill? = gonna get an ass whoopingg

generous i agree, but i would take the lakers on this one, only because if the spurs are up big near the end pop is going to bring in the bench.. lakers might be able to break 15.. but who knows now days

Son, the sweety in your sig is so hot, especially the one with the waterhose.

pretty sure thats kate upton

[Koolaid_Man]

We gonna beat tha ever loving shit outta the Spurs..we might can't do shit else right but we know how to dick down the muthafucking Spurs.

[Cry Havoc]

generous number..number should be larger TBH

Is nash ok? He left the game yesterday.

[Killakobe81]

'why shouldnt they be favored by even more?

Spurs home game
Spurs better team
2nd of back 2 back
Down two starters

I dont see what the big deal is ...no excuses every team battles injuries but I dont see the Spurs being a double digit favorite all that thread worthy... especially when the Spurs are an elite regular season team and the Lakers suck ...

[baseline bum]

This is the ultimate trap game. You have a shitty team coming in plus they're missing their two top players. The Spurs can't afford to be looking past the Lakers to important upcoming matchups with Memphis and Golden State tbh. Gotta win these games too against the cellar dwellers.

[Molotov]

pretty sure thats kate upton



Yes, I know, just commenting on the hose gif.

[Ghazi]

It is "sorta" a big deal, Kobe. Lakers probably haven't been double digit underdogs in the Gasol era until this game.

Keep in mind most spreads cap out at 13-14 points. The biggest spread I've seen this year is the Bobcats being 16 point underdogs @ Denver.

Anyway, if I was to make a play on this game, it would be over 215... still don't think rooting for SO many points being scored, regardless of how bad the Lakers defense is.

You can't dog LA that much. Easy bet.

[irishock]

Lakers cover lol

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol this spread was plain ugly when one team is coasting while the other is trying to win a game...fkn pathetic showing from the spurs tonight

[InRareForm]

Easy cover.

Since you hatin on Kobe I guess you must mean Jordan Hilland Dwight Howard ... Pau has been absent most of the year ..but nice try.
