I would say coach take half and Kobe take half... Sure they win the game and pretty sure they don't give a shit about cover the 8.5 or not. They are all professional player, play the game it suppose to. I mean looking at the 4th qtr stats just kill me. Kobe didn't shoot until last minute. It is not like he is not on the floor. I just have a lot of questions in mind on how could that happen. Sure people can take NJ with the points and be happy about it. It is not about betting on the lakers or not, it's just the integrity of the sport.
