Los Angeles at Indiana (12/02/2008)

Yeah, but Celtics did a dumb move and trade away Posey who was their ultimate 6th man for defense and clutch 3 point shooting.  And with the addition of Bynum, they have someone that can match up with Perkins size for size and help grab those rebounds and points in the paint.

hey pronk,

i have a question 4 you. i noticed the experts have great records ats with certain teams. they rattle off wins like crazy. do you ever follow certain experts individually? and if no why not. thanks

why does every1 think indiana can keep this game close? i cant see it when they struggle beating the bobcats at home? honestly i have not heard a descent reason why the pacers can keep up with them lakers not only have a great offense they have a devastating defense

Lakers -8 at Pacers

Heavygunner take a look at this
(trying to beat the spread not pick the winner)

Pacers have beat the spread 5-7  when they are 6 pt (or more) dogs

All of the covers have been away except the ML Win over Boston at home. They are playing at home tonight so that should be better for Ind.

Also Lakers cover 6-11 when fav by -7 or more and most of those games are at home. Again better for Ind

Players don't care if they beat the spread, and all the garbage pts at the end often wreck the cover for the fav if it's not close.

Taking the pts (up to +9) and Ind

Excellent point my friend, the lakers do play some defense on the road. They are more focus defensively than they do at home. Might lay off on the Over . just taking the Lakers ..

Does anyone know if Bynum is definitely even playing? Espn has him listed as day-to-day right now.

If Bynum is playing than I feel like the matchup of him and Gasol may be too much for Murphy and Foster to handle.  Especially if one of the two of them gets into fall trouble again and the standing tree Roy Hibbert is brought in to cover a physical player like either Bynum or Gasol.  I also expect Byrant to be guarding Granger which is like no d he's seen this yr.  He'll get 16 but thats about 8 less than his average.

I like the lakers just not at 9.  Teasing them to -3 and the total to 219.5 for the under. 

Jgenti, just following my own instinct. Win or lose, this is my $$$ and nobody is responsible but myself. If you start following "experts" on wagerline or any line - be prepared to lose your shirt. Take advise from people you trust, but allways make desission by yourself. And also you MUST HAVE A STRATEGY (what to play and when)

okay thanks i just see the number 1 expert for la lakers games winning on there games specifically all the time. thanks again

in kobe we trust
