Kings completely botch the final play of regulation, slowing it down when there were only 11 seconds left and didn't even get a shot off.

Then it goes to OT and they get shut out.

I lost my ML and my +6.

[MJFtheGenius]

but even i will admit we were on thee wrong side there the Kings could just not overcome the cavs defense

Right side. They had the ball, tie game, 11 seconds left in regulation.

6 point underdog.

how does that mean u were on the right side? they cannot end the game in a tie.....they did not score to take the lead in regulation and got beat in OT, thus u were on the wrong side....u need to forget about this and move on

The right side doesn't always win, pal. This is a good example.

Spreads and totals should be based on regulation only anyway. It makes a hell of a lot more sense than including OT.

if u r on the right side, u win, period.....all this horseshit of 'i was on the right side but lost' is bogus. if u lost, u lost. and if u dont think games should include OT, then dont bet

[roasthawg]

You're wrong. Period.

Ever heard of luck?

[MJFtheGenius]

I watched the game....

Kings were very fortunate to be in the game they made alo of low % shots....

I had the Kings but Cavs were the right side...

[vinny808]

I know seriously. So Ipickwinners, how do you cap for this? When capping do you actually forsee Chicago actually losing after 35 points? Do you forsee Chicago losing again, only because of two bo-zo moves fouls with seconds left on the game? The Kings were getting it done until Evans got cocky and tried to go 1 on 1 with Lebron. Then Lebron said, GAME OVER. Lebron shut down Evans, so Evans couldn't break down the defense anymore. These were all luck whoever bet against chicago and the kings.

better than on Thursday when they got shutout completely in OT.

[texhooper]

wow, this is nuts, i didn't take the kings this time around because of what happened last time. i thought, "what if it happens again?" i can't believe it actually did. this one almost worse because at least last time you only had to suffer through one ot before you realized they were going to fold like a diaper.

[Eatminus]

You probably took my bet on Matchbook.

LONG LIVE KOBE

[yisman]

I was watching the double OT and this was going through my head: "I feel like I've seen this movie before and I know how it ends..."

[talnted]

To bet against lebron and then kobe? whos really to blame here... Plus just about everyone knows that OT depends heavily on the leadership core of a team. Often times young rookie players are unfocused and too hyped to really calm down and process an extra period of basketball ESPECIALLY when that overtime comes against the cavaliers and the lakers (they realize victory is right around the corner against 2 monster clubs). Both the lakers and cavs have solid leadership (lakers especially) and can handle the momentum swings and emotions leading up to overtime. So is it really that unbelievable that a kings team lead by an allstar rookie folded in overtime? Not at all. The kings did EXACTLY what a young unexperienced team would do in their position, botch a last minute regulation play and then miss tons of shots in OT. All these kings followers should have assumed a loss when the OT began, and hoped for a lucky win.

Not me. Both games, the Kings had the ball, game tied, 10 seconds left.

This is called having awful luck.

Oh, and the Kings were up 6 in the first OT.

[Eatminus]

They were up 7 in first OT

[talnted]

plus, was is loss really that brutal, the lakers were up 94-88 with 2 minutes left and couldnt score a single point until the final buzzer rang. How often is that going to happen?? gasol missed crucial points from the charity stripe that even allowed this silly OT to happen. And what I mean by solid leadership in the 2OT, how about kobe hitting back to back threes that basically put the game away... this played out pretty textbook in my eyes, everyone needs to settle down

[southpaw74]

I agree it was a bad beat...I had lakers second half and consider myself very lucky! They never covered the entire game until the second overtime

It played out textbook when the Lakers never had the cover once until double OT? Really?

OK, now try and examine the game in its entirety not just the situations where the kings could have put the game away. OT happens because both teams couldnt put the game away... The lakers had thier chances too, but again when it came down to it leadership and the ability to remain focused the cavs and lakers have the enormous edge over the kings. which is why i say once OT began you should have assumed a loss and prayed for a win. Leadership is what allowed the lakers to overcome thier early 1OT deficit, whereas the kings couldnt handle a deficit in the 2OT. Nothing suprising

Kobe!

The OT's (which is what we are talking about) played out textbook. not the whole game. what I mean by textbook is... OT starts: Kings continue their momentum which got them into OT in the first place (outscoring the lakers from a 94-88 deficit in the last 2 minutes) the lakers eventually recollected (this is what good teams do aka leadership and experience, good coaching blah blah blah) they stormed back and tied it up which lead us to the start of the 2OT. which is where kobe and the lakers just sh!t on the kings. TEXTBOOK

[1st and Ten]

[LLXC]

Need some end of regulation lines

[necro]

Had 375 SBR on Lakers ML

Nice win for me

[vinny808]

Talnted how much money are you losing betting the NBA? Textbook? Really? After getting it done ONLY in the SECOND OT? Thats TEXTBOOK? No I was not talking about OT, I wasn't even talking about the Lakers game. The Kings would have covered the spread if the Lakers or Kings just won it in at the end of the 4th or first OT. Be able to predict a OT, then talk in this forum.

As you know gasol missed two FT's at the end of the game. TWO! How often does he miss two FT's?? If he hit one or two, the Kings would have won or loss (probably lose since they suck at buzzer beaters) and the Kings would have covered the spread. Some games are plain luck!
