Food For Thought on Lakers Games

CB40-FWIW be careful with betting Memphis over the Spurs.
Even though they won season series, remember 1) what you saw today;2) Memphis played awful the last 4 or 5 games of regular season;3) The Spurs are the defending champs, have the experience and may really want to dispose of these guys fast to get some rest before next series.

i agree, San Antonio is the most fundamentally sound team in the NBA IMO, IMO the next 2 are the Pistons and the Pacers

It sure as hell isn't the Lakers;what an insult to the teams you mentioned and others to make them +1.25 to win the whole thing.
Maybe Jack Nicholson or some other Laker lover/drramer plunked down about 10 million on them to make odds on them so absurd and so far from reality.
Hey, better for us other guys;I took a nice 4.5- 1 odds on Spurs.
If anything odds should be reversed-the Spurs 1.25-1 and Lakers 4.5 to 1.

its the world we live in, where the vegas sets the price so the dumb public can place their losing wagers

wouldnt surprise me to see them win the whole thing and not cover a single game

Stay off LAKERS either way

My suggestion is to not play the LAKERS, either for/against. over/under...

Inconsistancy will KILL you when wagering on a team that you have to ask yourself "whick LAKER team is going to show up...

The one that listens to Coach Jackson...no
plays as a unit/team....no
has a common goal (championship)...no
doesn't have personal vindettas....no
doesn't have EGO problems.....no
a player trying to Market his values (Koby)...no
doesn't have spoiled-millionare-children...no
is not in total disarray....no
doesn't have talks of trades...no
doesn't have rumors of Coach retireing....
has a healthy team...no
Could go on and on, Lakers have talent....Despite themselves, probably not cover a spread, back door their way to the West finals, possibly further....I think SPURS is the team to beat...
