NBA Friday 720 Dallas -2
Yes, we usually come in and bet the 0-2 team in the series spot. But as my colleague Fezzik mentions [B][I]there are reasons/intangibles[/I][/B] why we bet those spots and this is not one of them. No home court to fall back on, they'll probably shoot worse at Reunion Arena and this line is about 1.5 points too low IMO.
The key I believed for the Lakers to have another championship shot was the health and play of C Andrew Bynum, who is not 100% and playing like he's 20% ready. Then add the poor play of Gasol and then that makes everything fall on Kobe's shoulders, and as we have seen in this playoff series, he cannot beat Dallas. He needs all starters to have huge productive games, or as I like to say, the Lakers would have to play their very best game to have a chance tonight. If Dallas plays their best game, they cover by 15.
