    Default Lakers -13? Your Thoughts.

    I'm thinking Lakers -13 and Under 233.5

    GSW is horrendous on the road, especially so against +.500 teams. The Lakers have blown them out in Oakland as well as LA. GSW play no defense so the Lakers will have a big night inside with Gasol and Odom. Arriza will bother Jackson quite a bit and force a lot of turnovers.

    I'm thinking Under because the Lakers D can slow down and shut down GSW's scoring. I'm seeing a 124-102 Laker win.

    Your thoughts?

    Lakers havn't played that well at home lately, almost losing to Dallas and then losing to Philly. -13 may be inorder against a bad Warriors team, but its just too high of a spread for me. I see more of a 98-87 type game.

    98-87? Between the Lakers and Warriors? You're outta ya friggin mind! They'd both have to shoot something like 35% for that to happen!

    Warriors will keep this one close. Definitely a trap line: should be about -7.5 at best IMHO, but I'm from the Bay and hate the Lakers, so....

    Crawford is being rested, so Jack & Monta will be asked to take it to the Lakers like old times... I like the Chemistry of the team w/o Crawford.

    hahahaha that is so true

    Can you believe New Orleans almost lost today at home to MINNESOTA... there are no more guarantees. And today Rockets line - 9 over Detroit what a joke And the Knicks - 7 ???

    But I agree with Uncle The Lakers have been playing like crap lately but Golden State got blown out at home by PHOENIX by like 25 so how can I respect either team l0l.

    The Lakers have screwed me every time out this year. You never know what to expect from them. GL to all.

    i'm with this...if you don't remember, not too long ago the warriors covered +10 in l.a., if my memory serves me correctly. and this was before golden state got healthy and "hot". the lakers could easily cover, but the over to me looks dangerously safe.

    now, the over may be the play and all... but don't all of yall come complaining tomorrow when the lakers win 109-92 or something...

    I have no opinions on this game yet, but it obviously seems the over will be heavily bet into...

    92? i think it's safe to say both teams will have 100 points at least. this is one of those, "ok, finally, we get to run and score" type games for both of these teams. remember how many people were thinking too much about the gs/pho o/u and betting the under based on "facts" and "statistics"? i can't see this being any different for these two teams. it's a "close your eyes and just do it" kind of over.

    most were on the over in that game... (on the logic of, 244 is too high and therefore I'm going to bet the over)

    13 of 24 since 97 in LA have gone over...

    lakers avg 99 and giving up 99 in last 5 games (games in LA, favors these more than gs avg 240+ points past 5)

    just a fair warning...

    GL with your bet, I may very well be on it with you tomorrow...

    As I said over and over again, LA plays down to the level of their opponent and increases it just a bit to win over them. I bet Dallas and Philadelphia against them and I took quite a lot of cash with that. Now I'm going to go for gold and trust the notoriously inconsistent Golden State.

    Lakers are not a powerhouse lets not forget this, they are not the same team without Bynum.
