I nearly pissed myself cause I had Lakers ML ...

I won't bet anymore on these guys for 2 reasons....

#1) Because they are the Lakers, spread are way too high...
#2) They don't play all out and you see it time and time again where way inferior teams almost end up beating them .... They just seem to relax. I can't remember last time they blew out a team, like Lakers of old

Cases in point
- Memphis
- Toronto
- Golden State
- Charlotte


                                     Lakers

I had Lakers ML to finish off a parlay... wow, how the fuck did they almost blow that late 10 lead?  Talk about sweating that last bounce along the backboard.  Never easy.

For myself, its not so much fading the lakers and their inflated spreads which I normally do.  It has to do more with nationally televised games.  Games such as these that are played on espn or abc give people reason to bet the game, which of course most will be inclined to take the lakers at any spread because "they are the better team"

You and me both ICE ... I think those were the longest 2-3 seconds of my life ... I thought it was gonna bounce in ....

What I don't understand is how Monte Ellis out rebounds Gasol and Odom for a crucial possession...

And they left Curry for a wide open 3 .... Luckly he missed it

Lakers have no killer instinct.
Lamar odom is good but he seems to play with zero passion.

THEY WIN THE GAMES.

They dont give a fuck what you bet your 100 bucks on.

Did they win or lose?

There is 2 columns for judging final success.

Wins VS. Losses

When you bet Lakers, bet on them in the third quarter and bet against them on second quarter. Usually it's money.

If you listened to Kobes interview after the game that's what he said. All they were looking for was a win. Not very motivated. They didnt take this game very seriously

No there isn't 2 columns for judging success... If they keep letting team hang around EVENTUALLY one of those teams will beat them .... In the playoffs with good team some of those Wins from the wins column will equal loses, if they keep this up ....

How many Championship team do you know that just squeak by alot of games....I agree they don't care about spreads...But you can't say they are a great team or a championship caliber if you let GSW with a D league squad hang around all night ...

They are always a hard play because the line is almost always adjusted in their favor.

Your post doesn't have any relevant info as to why we should take your opinion into consideration.

Not trying to be mean, but don't go around proclaiming winners before the game even happens (because if the Lakers lose SU, it makes you look like a real CHUMP).  How did the last two games go for the Lakers against Sac-town this season.  First was OT in Arco, and the second a 1 point win by the Lakers at the end of reg at Staples. 

I will take the Sac +6 all day vs this March Madness Lakers team.

I like Sac-town tonight and Tyreke to aim for another triple-double.

If I wasn't a Laker fan I'd bet my life savings on Sac +6 today. It's a gift.
