Lakers and Boston tomorrow

[ham]

Lakers are -8 @ Denver.

Boston is -5.5 @ Indiana.

Are these traps?

 

[halekulani]

yeah and i'm a sucker
i'm probably going to play both of them tomorrow

 

[ham]

80% of the public is on Boston. That can't be good. hno:

 

[krk1030]

After what I saw tonight, I might just bet Boston every game.

They are just as dedicated as they were last year, and they give 100% effort for 48 minutes no matter the score.

I hate routing for boston, but damn if they are some covering mother fuckers.

Lakers beat Denver by an average of double digits, even when the Lakers had no Bynum/Ariza, and Denver had Marcus Camby.

I know they're capable of smashing Denver, but what kind of mindset will they have today? That's really the question. This game is theirs to lose the cover.

I will not look at trends in Lakers games. The Lakers are different this year. They have BYNUM + GASOL together. They are honestly the best team collectively that I've seen as a team from starters to bench that I've ever seen. Yes, even better than the Bulls. MJ was simply the best, and he had Pippen. This team has everything you would want out of a team....scoring when they need it, 3pt shooting, and most importantly, great inside defense. I will be picking the Lakers in every game this year....this is coming from a guy who has hated the Lakers for yeaaaaaars.

Look at the Nuggets. They have nothing on the inside. They are going to get embarassed tonight. Gasol + Bynum should combine for over 40 easily. The Nuggets defense is horrible. They gave up 100pts to a team without their best 2 players, and a team who also had no inside presence to boot.

Lakers 115
Nuggest 87

Another blowout

 

[ham]

Yeah, they're definitely traps.

 

[halekulani]

definitely fell into this one

it's ok, i got toronto+1 as a backup

 

[hognosticator]

Typical public knee jerk reaction. Both teams failed to cover last night.

 

[hognosticator]

Boston is 1-2 ATS this year. That's 33%. You're a smart guy aren't you.

After what I saw tonight, I might just bet Boston every game.

They are just as dedicated as they were last year, and they give 100% effort for 48 minutes no matter the score.
