curious on opinions

[pt1gard]

whether Lakers will win this series, I thought yes after 2 games, now not so sure ... Sac made huge statement tonight ... I have them at 3/1 to win west and Lakers at +120 not to win west ...

would like to hear your guys thoughts on odds of series and any hedge bets ... wont Sac be favored slightly now to win series?

thanx, pt1gard

I doubt they will now be favored. This is the 2x World Champion Lakers you are talking about. The odds might go up a little but don't expect any dramatic movement.

I look for Sacramento to now win this series !

the kings made me a believer tonight...they didn't look 100% and they still won by 13...

the lakers are in trouble...

You have to believe the Lakers will win gm4, so the series will be knotted 2-2 with 3 games left. I sure cant see the lakers shooting any worse than tonight. I kind of thought Sacto had a shot before series started but after Game 1 I saw enough of Sacto to think they were done so I bet the Lakers at 5-1..........remember they had won like 24 of 25 playoff game, 12 straight on the road, looked like a pretty good bet, now they lose 2 straight but remember last year in the finals they lose the home opener to ther sixers to give up hm court advantage. then they preceded to win 4 in a row...........so I wouldnt count out the Lakers just yet.

Roger, what do you mean they didnt look 100%. I know they were missing Pedra but in building a 27 pt lead they couldnt miss and the Lakers couldnt hit the ocean.

Olympic has posted Lakers -120 Kings +100 for series

every shot the kings made looked wide open...lakers looked like they gave up playing defense...except kobe...he seemed like the only one that wanted to win that game...christie, bibby and webber won that game...when the kings are 100% they are usually in the 110's to 120's with everyone...including the bench...gets into the scoring...

interesting to see

interesting to see

adelman using basically 6 guys, the PT in box loox like a HS game or college ... anyone know any other coach who used 7 players in NBA ... I know pedra would make 8, but them getting by with 7 is amazing ...I didnt check, but is that all they used in game 2, i think it was ...

with more rest between games it might be able to hold up ... is Pedra possibly gonna play ... I went out and hooped myself in 2nd half and didnt listen to much annoucning in first ...


thanx, pt1gard
