I have the Lakers locked at +6.
I dont know if Ive placed this bet because I believe in the line or I just need an extra reason to cheer for them.
They better come out hungry, if they start slow theyll tire out as usual.. If the lakeshow comes out of the gate clicking theyll be in it all night.
The first 5 minutes of tomorrow game is going to dictate everything.
fucking Lakers... close this shit out already.

I teased Cleveland and Denver down. I have Denver at pk. This goes to Game 7 because the Lakers want to win in dramatic fashion at home.

I GUARANTEE you, the Lakers do NOT want to play another game in this series. To think that they will let this one slide so they can win at home is ridiculous. Whether they win this game or not, is another story, but it certainly won't because because they want another game.....:nono:

Lakers will win 2nite because
Kobe has the heart of a champion.He smells blood and
see's his prey is on its last breath. Black Mamba Strikes again.
Lakers ML+190 we don't need no stinkin points.

:0corn i like it. But the line tells me Denver win and cover..........if it happened, Gm 7 on ABC. Remember national TV game ABC.

I like Denver to win the game tonight and I suppose I may make a small wager with them minus the points. Nothing big though.. Yeah the Lakers don't want to play game 7, but Im sure they didn't want to play game 7 against Houston and the Rockets kicked ass game 6. I know I am in the minority, I think the Nuggets are the better team. I don't know why but I just do. I think the series would be over in the Nuggets favor after tonight's game if not for the Lakeshow getting all the calls. I did not bet the last game and that 4th quarter was nuts with all the hacking the Lakers did that didnt get called. Having said all of this I am not betting tonight because Crawford is a ref tonight and the Lakers record is awesome when he refs. Coincidence:shrug:
In my opinion this game has the same feeling as last nights cavs/magic matchup. Denver has their backs to the wall, and laying a few more points than expected. It seemed to easy to take the points last night, and it feels that way again tonight! I think this will be a tough cover for Denver but foul shots down the stretch will make the difference!
GL all and let's roll Nuggets!

Nuggs have not played this far into the playoffs since a long time.Melo is a star but he sucks in elimation games.0-4.
Billups is a winner... But with the Pistons they won with Defense.This Nuggs team don't play D. They r thugs that play street ball. Oh and by the way
Crawford is on the floor. Lakers long time 6th man.
Lakersd outright 2nite.
Nuggs cave under pressure

Lots of drama and physicality. I believe the refs are going to call a tight game and try not to let it get out hand. It's going to be nip n tuck all the way. Might see some Gasol grappeling. Den tries to play D to be in the game but the lakes want to push tempo. Nugs can play that way to but have a better chance with a slower tempo. The way I see this series is Nugs under/ Lakes over. Like the OVER.
If I were to begin thinking that every game had a predetermined outcome,then basketball to me would cease to exist. I refuse to bet based on game 7 on national tv theory. Or stern sitting down with bruckheimer to script the game. If people think this,then why watch better yet how do you bet a fixed event if its possible you are on the wrong side? I agree the officiating is at best inconsistent,but I refuse to believe the games are fixed by the league. Now I live in vegas I am privy to many of the past betting scams if not all of them but until the speculation gets some teeth I will continue to bet based on research and discussion.

:nono: Well sink your teeth into this.......
Coincidence or is there really an area 51 in vegas....
Denver comming off a huge double diget blowout of the lakers and joe public thinks denver will do it due to large 6-7 pts spread. Every quarter the game is tied till the last one where NENE fouls out immediatly then 27-18 run by the laker covering the score might i add....
Orlando had dominated Cleveland every game and was going to clev with 7.5 pt underdog......
The game like the previous denver game was tied through 3 and what happens 34-23 cleveland run to cover the large chalk.
All i am saying is this coincidence.......:nono: :nono: :nono:
Now i am gun shy due to the labron coby matchup :violin:

Area 51 and fixing the nba nice correlation chief. Stern is actually an alien and his planet bet all of its mars money on the lakers or cleveland. What the hell are you talking about. My point was if you believe its fixed how can you watch or bet the games? By the way thanks for the little yellow guys that's top shelf telephone tough guy!

from a capper I respect on another site
Probably sounds like 'Captain Obvious' question - but the Lakers' trend all Playoffs Long has been to Coast thru Roadies - even vs less-talented teams (Houston comes to mind).
Maybe I'm ingesting the proverbial 'Zen Purple Stuff', BUT, I truly think The Lakers have turned the corner in effort and attention to opponent - as Kobe Bryant clearly explained:
"We've had stretches where we've played excellent defense," Bryant said, "But the competition we're facing with this Denver Nuggets team is unlike anything we've ever seen. They have so many scorers, they have an inside presence. So ... I'm very proud of how we performed in that stretch."
Thru Game 4, Denver was the team gaining all the energy \ effort points (as detailed in previous thread).
Game 5, although EVER QUARTER WAS PLAYED TO A STANDSTILL (only 4th Playoff Game in HISTORY when this has happened) The Lakers reversed the 4th Qtr Nuggets dominance of these effort areas:
FT ATT:
LAL: 16
DEN: 7
4TH QTR
LAL: 27-18
FG's
DEN: 5-19, 1-8 from deep (of Denver's 5 FG's Made, FOUR were lay-ins or dunks)
LAL: 7-16, 2-9 from deep
MOST NOTABLY, LAL got resurgent contributions - largely in ENERGY Minutes from two of the otherwise M.I.A. Laker Mainstays:
ODOM: 19 PTS & 14 REB
FISHER: 12 Pts
With the good minutes LAL has been getting all series from Shanon Brown and Jordan Farmar - if they ALSO get these positive minutes from Starters Odom and Fisher to begin with - the Lakers are in high gear with BOTH facets working well.
THE PRIMARY Laker PLUS to come out of GAME 5 was the manner in which LAL appears to have solved the other baffling and Denver's successful, gambling doubles that have been keeping Kobe on the lower end of his FG% - and somehow making the extra pass more difficult in the razor-thin passing lanes of the Laker Triangle Offense.
Kobe - to his immense credit - was so much quicker to see the doubles - and looked more to the HIGH POSTING GASOL, then made the multiple extra pass to get so many more open lay-ins -
Gasol - also to his credit - also was content to just touch pass back to wing, then either get the re-entry back or LAL worked the swing much better to get so many more open looks than they'd received in the previous two games in Denver.
LAL simply counter-punched the over-play with great station-to-station, Multiple-extra passing, Triangle Work; i.e., Classic Film Work Carried forth onto court.
Lastly - DENVER'S, "Whata we have to do?" problem. As far as Denver has come this Breakthrough Playoff Season
13-2 ATS
PLUS 11 PPG
Den now lost 2 of 3 ATS, despite very few lapses of play:
12 MIN stretch - Gm 5: Nuggs from UP 13 Md-3 to Down 7 Md-4
FIRST T-O of Qtr, G2 @1:11 - 4th, K Martin's lazy pass stolen by Ariza I (ditto - G5)
These Losses - when the vast majority of Game Play is at a outstanding level...are rough psychologically...
DENVER SEEMED VISIBLY DEFLATED AFTER GAME 5
LAL IN TURN WAS ENERGIZED - AND IT SHOWED ON STAT SHEET.
Denver's Body Language and abrasive retorts have shown these hairline cracks in their confidence that we've expected to see from the outset vs LAL.
Chaucy Billips is visibly confused by Denver's 2-3 deficit, when they've played near perfect ball:
"For most of the series, we outplayed them for most stretches of the game," Chauncey Billups said. "We just couldn't get over the hump in the fourth quarter in a few different situations."
Denver's 11 Technical Fouls are indicative of their frustrations, and Head Coach George Karl didn't hold back this week - and bristled when asked about Denver's resolve; when Karl was openly questioned about Denver's frustration level, he cut loose on Press Row:
"You guys are almost saying you've got to have savvy and poise to be a championship team," Karl told reporters Thursday. "I mean, you think the Detroit Pistons have the poise that the San Antonio Spurs have? No, I mean there's a different way of handling emotional, passionate, intense players. We have some guys who are emotional. Maybe a little too emotional. But for me, I'm not going to tell them to stop that because I think that stops them from becoming a competitor.
It also remains a real mystery how G Karl continues to play non-contributors (D Jones and JR Smith - when he's not 'ON')
In either case - I truly believe the Lakers have reached the point of clarity here....and will cover if not win tonight with resurgence of Odom, Fisher, et al - and high energy Denver youth is finally hitting the wall - is about out of steam and patience...but may win a tight game to force Game 7 - too close to call LAL on Spread line alone...BUT I REALLY like this teaser.
I like LA to cover with teaser line - and the 8 of 9 Unders will continue with this slightly higher teaser number giving us enough room to clear the Under.
