Talk about foreshadowing.

Mavs fans you must understand this wont be an easy loss. The Lakers strategy is to make you think you have hope, that you have a secure lead. By halftime you'll be up by 20 and in high spirits. Then itll come crashing down, Lakers ahead by the end of the quarter, and up by 20-30 at the end. No, this wont be an easy loss.
If Bynum, Kobe, Odom and Gasol all get injured in the 1st half....Mavs might squeek it out
Lakers (5-0) and playing in Dallas are due for a loss.
Dallas (2-4) with no home wins so far, is due for a win.
Combine that with Dirk's panache for going off on the Lakers and you get less than a blowout win.
Of course, the handi-cappers haven't seen these new Lakers play these new Mavs so they could be WAAYYY off.
You'd be surprised what the handicappers in Vegas know. Those guys are amazing at setting tempting lines to reel in bets. They have to know something to make this line as small as it is. 10 would be too much, 7 might be ideal but 5.5 is just enough to bring in a lot of money on the LA side.
Maybe Carlisle will be smart and start giving Shawne Williams some playing time. Green & Williams are the future of the Mavs, so get them in there and see if they can be the complementary pieces Dirk has always wanted.
Nah..he will just give Stack extended minutes and put him on Kobe for 48 minutes
I have to agree, these fools are GOOD. It's just crazy how good they are.
But I just can't see anyway this is a 5.5 point game. Maybe Kobe isn't playing or something.
I'd bet a boatload on the Lakers with 5.5 point spread.
oh yeah. i forgot about that. green needs to go off.
And that's the risk they're taking. If, for some reason, the Mavs win or keep it close, then think of all the money they'd have brought in on that -5.5 line. But Vegas doesn't like to lose, so there has to be something off which they're basing this.
Gerald Green with 9 1/4 fingers > Stackhouse with 10 fingers
Good start, hope Stack does not get in and screw this up.
I seriously still do not see the big deal about the Lakers. I would not be surprised if Dallas won tonight.
No good for the Lakeshow so far. Too worried about getting a foul called.
They'll adjust though.
