Earlier today grabbed Spurs 4-0 at 2.99.
Currently 2.62 and thinking of adding to the wager. 

Some serious comments as to why Spurs won't sweep? I'm a Lakers fan but I'd rather win money while being miserable instead of just being miserable.

I love my Lakers, thought we had a chance even without Kobe, but now without Blake, Nash and Meeks. We're in Bobcats territory of completely sucking at basketball.

I appreciate all comments, including yours ^^^. But I'd like some rationale for your opinion? I don't like this "trap" or "sucker" idea. I'm a Lakers fan, I know what we're capable of... and I know what we're not capable of! It just seems too good to not take!

Don't worry, I fully understand that logic and NBA shouldn't be coupled in the same sentence. But this is just silly - traps only work if there is some type of competitiveness. The Lakers simply cannot compete with the line-up they will be sporting. 

I've locked it in, big! And when it wins I won't boast, because it's not a "SUPER PICK," it's just obvious value which I cannot leave on the table.

I don't believe the "Covers community" influences the outcome of the game. I refuse to believe it. Give me the experienced, no-bull-sh*t, get the job done Spurs over the old, depthless, slow, beat up Lakers any day of the week.

Everyone on their mother is on the Spurs, 9:1 ratio in Vegas.  Maybe Spurs cover, i wouldnt bet it either way though.

D-League MVP Andrew Goudelock.  I'm not trying to say the Lakers are the right side, just saying everyone thinks this is a cupcake, layup, type game which I don't think it is.

"Harlem Globetrotters Player Draft History
2011

1. Andrew Goudelock- Won the 2011 College 3-point Championship

2.Jordan McCabe- A 12 year-old ball handling phenom from the Seattle area, showcased his incredible talents for none other than Harlem Globetrotters legend Curly Neal during a 2011 visit to Beaver Lake Middle School in Issaquah, Wash."*

*-Harlem Globetrotter official site


So that is what it has come to? The Lakers are hanging their hopes on someone who barely edged out a 12 yr old.

basically I agree. The mismatch on the pointguard position is huge, rarely seen such difference. Pointguard is key in playoff matches. In addition,there is no high morale in Lakers team (this might play a role in Boston case for example, who are also worse than Knicks, but might win this 3rd  match).
IF Spurs dont approach these 2 games lightly (and I think that Pop does not allow that), they must outplay this Lakers team easily. Period.

You are not stealing money you are borrowing it. Lakers are walking wounded. I look for the Spurs to put the dagger in them tonight. With the injuries to major players and severe lack of depth i see the Spurs wearing them out in the 4rth

no bets a lock.  i happen to agree with you.  but i bet the chicago money line last night and jersey had the rediculous backdoor cover.  so the five points (and you're giving four) could be the issue.  i think san antonio wins this game.  but darrious morris looks more confident.  gouddelak won the mvp of the d-league and was an amazing three point shooter in college and duhon is an experienced pro who has a great game every 7 games.   dwight wants to make a statement (but he is an incredible head case; fouling needlessly).  lakers need three point shooting to couple with dwight, the way stan van gundy had it set up in orlando.  go spurs!  i'm on the ml.

Goudelock wasn't even on the Laker roster the entire season.  He only got called up b/c of Kobe's injury.  In short, the Lakers think less of him than Morris or Duhon.

Spurs will end this series in 4 games. POP knows that his team is the oldest team in the playoffs and he knows that he would like to give his players 3-4 days off before they start the 2nd round. I now see the spurs having a very good chance coming out from the west with westbrook injury.. YES, iam a homer i luv da spurs but I do know how big POP coach and thinks. His the inventor of resting his players during the season and you can know see that other coach's are following his foot steps.

 

BOL TO ALL IN YOUR BETS I GOT THE SPURS TONITE AND MIAMI WINNING IN 4 GAMES..
