in the playoffs this year ATS. Although 4 of the 5 games have resulted in a victory, it seems as if the Lakers are doing just enough to win and haven't shown the killer instinct of last year. Does anyone think tonights SU loss to San Antonio at home will light a fire under these guys and get them intent on playing the whole game....not just the ends of games when they're behind or in a close battle. I knew there was no value on L.A. early in these playoffs given the fact that they are the defending champs...public and media darlings....and vegas shadding the line against them a bit. With that said and L.A. on a 5 game ATS losing streak, has that value we had betting against them now also been depleted? What will the line be in game 3? I'm thinking the lakers are still going to be a favorite...maybe 1 1/2-2 1/2 points...and if so, I'm wondering if anyone thinks it may be time to get back on board with the lakers? Thanks for any thoughts and ideas on the subject before hand.
