Something tells me that no only do the Spurs cover, but also win the game SU.  The held the Lakers to their worst point production of the PO's (89 points).  Manu played like a zombie due partly to tiredness, his fingernail, and his ankle.  Duncan owns Gasol, and Tony can drive in the paint.  Pathetic offensive showing in 4Q or they would have had G1.  The only downside I see is that they'll only have 48 hrs of rest again, but at least they won't have to sleep on a plane.

Spurs in 6

Game 1 left a bad taste in many laker playurrrs mouths out there.  The spurs will come to play in G2, but will it be enough for the laker show?  Get your money back in G2 and take the show.  Lakers win big in G2.

hope you buy some courage at your local walmart and start capping your own games.

regarding the lakers, look for this series to be a carbon copy of the phx/spurs series...remember the suns losing a similar game 1 and just crumbled...LAKERS -6.5 is the larger play here, with a smaller wager on the UNDER 193.5 with the Spurs too offensively challenged on the road

 

I was discussing that with a friend of mine, the blown "win" in Game One just deflated the Suns... I agree and hope we are right, Spurs are done for, Lakers to cover large in Game 2.. Using my win on the over in ECF Game 2 to  double my money....

PACKERBACKERS.... I am with you on this play.. GLA

for anyone who saw that game 1, a few things were reaffirmed.

-the lakers CAN play defense, and do so well when they put to it
-spurs still aren't scoring on the road
-if spurs are going to win, it'll be with their defense.

I can't imagine the lakers not covering the spread this time around as they have at least just as many matchups in their favor (esp. kobe and lamar), but truth be told, the best plays here are

UNDER 193
Spurs team total UNDER 93.5
 
(even if they win, i can't see the spurs scoring more than 93 on the road)
 
also on

LAL -6
 
(they won't catch the lakers off guard, there's no more rust, and they can only delay the scoring barage that is the lakers offense for so long... they should have covered last time if they had executed a little better down the stretch, missing 2 or 3 turns to score when up 4)

Game 2 will be a high scoring one (that's if the spurs wanna win)..
SAS will do the catching up this time but the Lakers will still cover.
 
LAKERS -7 / over

ironic now that grumpy is tailing me on the lakers and the under

 

lmfao...you gotta be kidding me...you are the reason normal human beings w social lives "lurk" on this site and not want to ever bother wasting their time posting...you guys,yes-you packer, are the ones that need to find some real life battles,debates, fights,etc...who cares if someone shoots out anothers picks, or if they have a bunch of aliases...does this seriously have a detrimental effect on your life?...you sound equaly(more likely-more) ridiculous than the ppl you are trying to get kicked off or whatever...i just had to throw that out there champ...go ahead and heckle me for having a few posts, but notice the date started before you go blowing your other braincell...off to the lake for the weekend...if it makes you feel better, I agree w both of your picks...and you can tell evryone that I tailed you...

This is directed to all you people that keep arguing in here. I've said it once and will say it again if you have no insite into the game please don't post, go to myspace. Do you really care that much? is that what you choose to do with your time? Please don't respond to me I'm not interested in anything you have to say! That's all now on to the game,

Well thats 3 winning days days in a row and here is how I see this one going down. The Lakers got a BIG scare last game but as I predicted alot of that was due to the layoff and them being rusty. This one is going to be allot different. With the comeback in the minds the Lakers will probably have a carryover effect and get out early and never look back. My early lean is LA half, game but not official yet. The line is moving in my direction and I am waiting until this afternoon to pull the trigger. GL

AMEN!

Listen, can we all just grow up for a minute and focus on capping some f'n games? 

It’s 100% true that PB wastes 100% of his time looking to get people he doesn’t like in trouble and that he has the social security of a 7th grade female.  It’s a fact.  However, it’s also a fact that CK/Styles was consistently breaking rules on the board.  Did anyone else find it ironic that every time he lost a play, the board was unusually quiet, but every time he won, there were 15-20 aliases heaping praise on him?  Give me a break.  As a criminal defense attorney, I can tell you that sometimes you just have losing cases, and in this case, CK was a losing case.  Yes he had good handicapping skills.  Yes PB hated the fact that people followed him blindly.  Yes he broke the rules.  Yes he continues to penetrate the board with 10-15 aliases.  He is gone.  Move on!  

You people are wasting your time with childish banter.  Let’s get back to capping our own games, providing our own analysis, and making some f’n dough!!!

If you really rely so much on the words of one capper, GO BUY SOME PICKS!
