LAKERS will be up by five at HT... didn't you read my post??? :confused: I played LA -4, and I never miss on my LAKERS! :nono: ;)

Actually, to answer your question, there is no consistent rule to the NBA HT line per se. Normally it's about half the closing line, but it depends on how the game is going. IF one team ended the half especially hot, the line may favor them at HT by a pt or so.

IF LAKERS and MILW are tied at HT, I'd say LAKERS are -4.5 to 5.5

Don't worry about INDY.... they'll cover.

Rarely does a team make a huge run like this EARLY in the 4th and is able to sustain it. IND should make the run they need to get the cover. DENVER is playing really well though, very pumped, but IND hasn't hit anything in like forever... but I think O'NEAL will pull it out for PACERS.

although the game is not tied at the half what is your opinion on trying to middle in that situation. if lakers win by 5,6,7 in your example then you win both sides. Is this wise in nba

Thanx

lal/mil

lal/mil

La is slightly better in almost all the stats. I can't figure out how mil got 7 more shots.......bucks have a lot of fouls. The pace doesn't favor them and I don't see it changing much. lal -4 for 2 units. total of 11 for the 1st and they could have scored a lot more........over 96 for 2 units.


game................1-1.................-0.2

tonight..............4-2.................-0.5

Now I'm pissed... LAKERS up by 3 at HT and I laid 4. :mad:

Anyway, LAKERS played MILW's game early in this one, running with them and shooting alot. DON'T expect the same in 2H. PHIL talked earlier today on the local radio and said he was gonna let the LAKERS have some fun in the first half of this game because he felt LA had the inside advantage, but he wanted to see how his LAKERS would do with MILW and their smaller quick tempo type team. He wanted to know if LA could run with them if need be and now he has his answer. With that being said, look for alot more inside game from SHAQ and CO. LAKERS win championships with DEFENSE, not offense, and PHIL knows this. It's early in the season, but with LA on their first extended road trip, I think PHIL puts the clamps down on this one and emphasizes lots of DEF in 2H.

With that being said, look for a LA win by 8-10 but a much lower scoring second half. BTW... both teams hit 4 of 7 3 ptrs. :eek:

HUGE PLAY - LAKERS UNDER 97
