You have to believe LA will win this be 7+ points. LA knows if they lose this game it will be tough to win the series. I don't know the spread but if its less then 8 or 9 I am on LA.

Dude you have to believe that Denver also knows if they loose this game it will be tough to win the series.  This is going to be a tight game all the way down the stretch. If Ariza doesnt show up LA is screwed.

DEN +6

3 words: Kobe vs. Lebron. 
It's been fun with great games but the inevitable will be happening starting Wed. I don't know if it goes 6 or 7 but LA wins Wed. If you thought you saw a lot of foul shots Mon night just wait for how many Kobe shoots tomorrow (if needed). It's a tough game to pick with the spread since LA will win by 3 or 30 but they win so I'll probably pay the juice and go ML LA
Playoffs 6-2 relying on the fix

LA has won the 2 key statistical games in a 7 game series... games 1 and 3.  The winner of game 1 in the conference finals wins the series at about a 75% clip and when the first two games are split, the winner of game 3 wins the series somewhere upwards of 70% as well.  I'm sold there that the lakers win this series, but there's oh so much more.

-Kobe is the best closer in the game, and while it seems like the nuggets as a team are hungrier, noone is hungrier than kobe.
-nuggets have not closed out important games (1 and 3)
-lakers have more experience being here, especially kobe, d-fish, and phil
-game 5 will be the first time the nuggets have had to play the lakers after the lakers suffered a blowout.
-game 4 was the first game in which the nuggets outrebounded the lakers.

i had more, but i keep getting distracted so, basically all i'm saying is...

LAL -6 (i'll probably just pound the hell out of the ML)

I just have to comment and laugh on all those morons and clones  that were talking all that conspiracy theory shit that the nba and the refs were going to fix the Clev - Orl game 4.  Well i hope u dummies realize that the best team that night wins or covers.  Orl has clearly been the better and dominant team in this series no matter what the spread is.  Cheers to all the smart mofos that picked Orl in game 4.
 
Now down to business..i love how denv is playing but they pissed off Kobe and co.  Even Coach was pissed. Early lean to LAL -6

Posted & picked the Magic... Not sure about dominant::::
 
Orl by 1
Clev by 1
Orl by 10
Orl by 2 OT
 
Should be a sweep... Now the conspiracy as posted earler today... what a story...King James rallies Cavs from the 3-1 grave to the finals.
 
Sorry for the east talk...
 
Denver +6.5   hope the public believes Zen & Sin are pissed so it will go up to 7 or 8.
 
Taking the Nuggets as they are not Houston.
 
GL to all

adding lakers 1st quarter.  They'll come out strong off that blow out.  First half may be a good play too, but i think i'll cash the 1st quarter and take it easy til the fourth.

Thinking that there is going to be an LA blowout is pure retardation at its finest. The way this series is going you should take whatever side is getting the points

LA should win this (my money is still on the Cavs/NBA finding a way to get LeBron in the finals), but I don't know if they cover.
 
Hate playing trends because they bite you in the ass.  But there has been at least one solid UNDER half in every game.  Of the three OVER halfs, two just made it on last second shots.  And the Lakers play better D at home...
 
UNDER 1st half,
if it doesn't hit,
chase UNDER 2nd half

I do agree with you and laugh at the people who called fix in game 4; however, I do believe in the fix and it was too soon. A few different either or calls and it's 2-2 that's less drama than coming back from 3-1, I think we will see questionable stuff in games 5,6, and 7 of both series. Yes. 7. 

Petey Rose, I hope you didn't follow your logic and take the points last game in Denver. 

I said earlier LA by 3 or 30, leaning a little more towards the latter. So I'm on ML LA
7-2 playoffs

I would seriously think about wanting to take the points here.  This is the biggest game for LAL in the playoffs so far and its at home and its coming off a blowout loss.  Last time LAL came off a blowout loss 2 Houston what did they do the next game?  LAL will win this game.  By how much???  Den just won its biggest game in the playoffs and maybe franchise history so far.  I think they are the better team and are out playing LAL but i think they have to have a little bit of a let down.  LAL are experienced enough to know through, Kobe and Phil, that this is all or nothing game.  U will see max effort from LAL whether they are hurt or not. U seen what happened after Den won the last big game 2 they flopped in game 3 by 7pts at home! 
 
still leaning on LAL -6.  Might even buy half point.

Not sure about dominant???  come on Goteelock...Orl has covered and won 3-1 in this series and has covered and won against Clev the last 9 out of 10 games i think.  Don't think it gets more dominant than that over the best team in the regular season who lost only 2 home games
