LAKERS -350 to win SERIES over HOUSTON.. Solid wager here $

[gynecologist]

i agree with gyno that the lakers will pull this series out . . . but phil needs to make some changes. fisher will not break out of his shooting slump, he looks really tired and is coming off a horrible series against the jazz. phil needs to go with farmar even though he hasnt been playing much. having bynum back is actually hurting the lakers, they dont seem to push the ball as much, i would rather have odom and gasol together against a low scoring rockets team.

This is probably going to happen.. :toast:


Lakers look strong, I'm surprised so many people here let one game change their mind about a team who won 65 games and swept the Rockets.

The rockets are a different team than the ones that got swept...Yao was out one game, Artest another, and they just traded Rafer....so take that sweep w/ a grain of salt.

I see a 7 game series here

Stern will simply not allow the Lakers to lose this series.

I would bet my life on the Lakers winning this series.

Max, you don't think the lakers are clearly the better team?

Lakers are a better offensive team....But the Rockets are a much better defensive team and I expect the series to go to 7 games ( thats if the ref will allow it ) because Houston can win this series and LA is not the best team in the leauge. Sorry Kobe is no Jordan and will never be.

Lakers made just 43.9 percent of their shots with Bryant hitting just 11 of 28...if Houston can keep them under that total they will win the next game.

Whoever wins...I still think the Rockets are just one playmaker away from getting to that next level...remember this is JMO

Lakers def FG% is right there with the Rockets..Let's not forget the Lakers play a faster pace..

Lakers went from -3.5 to -5.5 real quick.. Wish I could of gotten down on the -3 -120

 

[X-Files]

Ming is only worth 2 pts?

 

[gynecologist]

Well it wasn't EZ but we did it gentleman..

Lakers are just so fucking arrogant, they could of beaten the Rockets sooner they just played when they wanted too.
