Lakers have been on a mission on this road trip it seems, winning by huge margins covering ats. 1st quarter and game has been the past 4 games. The Lakers come in riding high and trying to keep pace with Cleveland. On the other hand the Atlanta Hawks looked really reeally bad vs Boston last night. Alot of bad jump shots and Bibby got burned again. This without KG, Boston lead the whole game. I'm having a hard time figuring out why not to lay a measly 3.5 right now b4 the public inflates this spread any higher. Anyone care to discuss? And glad to be aboard to discuss some hoops.

Spurs beat them, Celtics beat them and Lakers will beat them also. They're too big for the Hawks.

Does anybody remember what happened last year when the Lakers were on fire, and travelled to ATL laying a measley 3.5?  ATL won straight up.  Caveat Emptor people.  Public will pound the shit out of this game.

1 more reason to watch out for this one.  They are due a road loss.  I'm not touting ATL, I'm just saying BEWARE.

My book's got lkrs +3.5.  No doubt an error, but I jumped all over it.
Hope it works out.

I'd put that house, car and plasma on that!


On a serious note, does anyone know the extent of Kobe's injury? Yes he did come back 2H of the NJ game but he also shot 5-19FG...

I watched the game, and he wasnt really showing any problem with running from what I saw. Look, I'd rather have a lil banged up Kobe who will be a faciliator and not take as many shots. Kobe 25 pts on 9-18 shooting, 8 assists is perfect for a Lakers cover

I've been on the Lakers the past 2 games, 1st quarter and game. They might lose tomorrow, but my gut is telling me they will not lose tomorrow in Atlanta. It's worth the wager, good value. This team really wants to stay hot going into the playoffs, and the bench has been stepping up huge lately. The Hawks got taken out by a KG less Celtics team worse then the box score can tell you...They can give Kobe a shot if it's that bad.. but I personally watched him play vs New Jersey. I would be surprised if he doesn't play tomorrow/.

The line seems awfly low.. I guess if they are factorning that injury it would make some sense but it still seems low..

How do you figure? If the Lakers were giving 6 with Kobe and a sprained enkle everyone would be pounding the Hot home team ATL off a tough loss vs Boston. What do you want the line to be yoyo?

I have been pounding the lakers this road trip and the 1st Q. Both have been money.  Same with the 3rd.  I dont think this will stop.  Look at lakers last long road trip.  Won all 6 and covered.  They are looking to pass the Cavs, so all aboard the lake train.
