These teams are not evenly matched. Denver is the better team im not saying by a lot but they are better. If they were even the Lakers would have gotten a split at least.

This line opened-4.5 at betonline. Clearly a spot for the Lakers with the desperation angle. I guarantee if the Lakers win today they will not be-6 next game.

If the Lakers win tonight, I'm pretty sure the line will be in that same 4.5 to 6 point window in game 4, unless they win on a buzzer beater or something like that.

Well -4.5 I would agree with but I would pound Denver.

How. Boston and Miami line was off 15 points in each of the 2 games. Home vs Denver is a lot different than an injured Memphis and old warrior team

Lakers are-6. They were-3 vs GSW. You are basically making my point. Thanks

How much help do you think the Lakers get from the refs today?

I really don't think the Nuggs +5.5 can be a bad play here. Jokic is on top of his game. I really don't see the breakout player on the Laker roster.

If Davis shoots 70%, they'll win/cover. Plus, there's always a chance Tin Man Davis gets dinged up.

I'm not big time, 80 bucks to win 160 and change for me.

The funny thing about the NBA playoffs is that there are a finite number of possible outcomes, we're just trying to guess which one happens. I will warn you that I had to change my shirt to the lucky Lakers shirt late in the first quarter so I think we know what that means.

**JIBBBY** · 05-20-23, 09:02 PM

Lakers are up against it, this is sad! Nuggets are just the better team. Lakers are trying though in this game.

It means you don't know shit about basketball.

So how much is ALL IN? Has to be at least $1,000,000 bet. Anyone knows what book took it?

**JIBBBY** · 05-20-23, 09:57 PM

Nuggets are just the better team. Get out the broom and start sweeping. Game 4 probably no different.

Lakers were lucky to make it this far to be honest as they really sucked all season long. Lebron and AD were healthy and they made some trades so you hoped for more but it just wasn't in the cards.

**Eddy Munny** · 05-20-23, 09:59 PM

Bad pick, Laker... And the boosted juice with the alternate number is insult to injury.

Build back better.

That's what I've been saying for a while now.

Shake it off.

Wait, did you really have the Lakers tonight?

My comment was a bit of a joke on the thread title, which was actually for a game that happened like two weeks ago.

Nothing's changed, Denver wins again.

Nice hit, Nash. +210 winner. And they looked the better side from the tip on.

**pavyracer** · 05-20-23, 10:07 PM

My post was a joke. I always make fun of lakerboy from his old bets from a long time ago. When he was a high roller.

**Eddy Munny** · 05-20-23, 10:08 PM

This series basically comes down to three point shooting, the Nuggets can confidently take and make them at any point in the game with a number of players. The Lakers on the other hand always seem like they're a brick waiting to happen. Rui seems like he's the only one on the team with a pure stroke. Reaves statistically is a good shooter but his shot doesn't inspire a lot of confidence, his misses tend to be way off.

And I'll bet 'em again in game four.

**gauchojake** · 05-20-23, 10:16 PM

I took a tiny wager +133 live. Loved Denver but I left this game.

I won big on the Panthers in NHL. I just haven't been into the NBA.

Rui shouldn't be there best player but good on him for playing this well he was nowhere near this on the wizards. Reaves needs to work on his shot and he would be a crazy good player. Lakers kinda blew there load in Denver, they played those games better than the sun's but they were able to take two home somehow just to get beat up later.

Nice hit on the Panthers. I don't follow hockey much but I know the Canes were a popular tout pick tonight.

Nuggets can pack the paint in a 2-3 zone because the Lakers are not a very good shooting team. When Lebron is your best 3 point shot option, you have problems.

Lebron is not their best 3 point option (3-19 in series) but I get your point.

The Lakers have to fight, scratch, and hustle for every bucket they get and then Denver just casually knocks down open looks on the other end without breaking a sweat. It's this constant uphill battle of trading 2's for 3's and if the Nuggets go on a 3 point flurry like they did in the 4th quarter, it quickly erases a lot of hard work the Lakers had to put in up to that point.

The Nuggets are kinda what the Warriors were supposed to be before Curry regressed and Klay/Poole both went off a cliff.

Lebron and his bum bitch ankle needs to retire already.

better than expected for Lakers
but clearly can't keep up with Denver.

**gauchojake** · 05-21-23, 10:37 PM

They have been making their open shots where the Warriors and Grizzlies did not. It's all good as long as the Celtics lose. Murray and Joker are amazing players and they have a nice team.

**JIBBBY** · 05-22-23, 10:24 AM

Lakers probably get swept tonight. Must fade.

**stevenash** · 05-22-23, 11:47 AM

Denver +3.5 game 4

Denver has the better team, top to bottom.
Nothing's changed, Denver covers tonight.

**Nate rasta** · 05-23-23, 05:29 PM

Curry has never been swept in playoffs hahaha.Hes the greatest 6' 4" and under player of all time
