LAKERS and the Points tonight?

[woodee12]

I am having a hard time ignoring the +4.5 with LA tonight..I think Kobe and co. are too much matchup and talent-wise for the Magic.

LA +5 on the 1/2 pt. buy....

Good luck. Hope to be back in again with some more baseball plays and looking forward to football as well!

Nice hit Woodee.........Didn't see this post until today (Wednesday), but if you're looking for any advice for Thursday's Game 4, I'm talking the Lakers +2 1/2 points because they will win this game by double-digits.

The Lakers took a lot of heat from reporters for "not playing defense" after the Magic shot 62.5% from the field in Tuesday's affair...........Phil Jackson will make his customary adjustments and the Lakers will wax.

The Lakers did not sweep Utah, they did not sweep Houston, they did not sweep Denver.........So why is it such a big surprise to everyone that the best team they've face in the playoffs this year won a game on their home court?............To see the way the media's handled it, you would have thought that the Lakers blew the series last night............It was Orlando's night, nuff said..........The Lakers will destroy them in Game 4.............Load Up !!!!

To play devil's advocate, the lakers shot a pretty tremendous percentage as well especially if you look at everyone else but Kobe who ended up 11-25.

I think there is a huge confidence swing for Orlando because they were able to withstand the Lakers 4th quarter surge. The Lakers were lights out in the 4th except for the last 3 minutes and nobody would have been suprised if Orlando would have succumbed.

Orlando is a straight up good jump shooting team and the lakers need to dominate in the paint if they are going to win.

I like Orlando tomorrow. I look for a big night for Howard because the Lakers can't keep letting the Magic take open perimeter shots.

We'll see

I agree..I think the NBA poers-to-be gave Orlando their one win, and now its going to be lakers from here on out. Gasol should get the ball more tonight and he is the X-factor IMO.

I have LA +2 and on the ML +113.

I hate betting public teams but I have to do it again here.
