Nuggs at Lakers...

[LordofBalls]

ALL the talk on sports radio yday and today is about how LeBron has to take most of the blame for their season....
Clippers beat em like a drum in late 3rd and 4th qtrs... have now beat them like 20 of the last 24 times they've played...
that does NOT sit well w/Lakers fans out here lemme tell ya...

Since the story came out about how they were willing to trade their "young core" to get A. Davis
*Lakers defense gives up like 8 pts/gm more than they were...
defensive effort seems to be sporadic at best..
*LeBron doesn't put effort/try on defense, and his teammates that were 'covering for him' won't do it anymore...
*On a given night they can Beat ANYbody... or LOSE to ANYbody!
*Saying Lebron is too distracted by getting involved in producing new tv show coming out...
**Have NEVER heard this much negativity about "Lebron's Lakers" UNDERperforming all year...
All are saying Walton is gone after this season... since Magic and the GM weren't the ones that hired him, they can use him as scapegoat and bring in someone that LBJ is 'comfortable with'...

Yes.. Kuzma sprained his ankle the other night in 4th qtr, so he's out...

LeBron... Rondo... Ingram should be bk... KCP... Hart... McGee... Bullock plays 35+ mins and does NOthing (yet)... Muscala is an 'instant whistle' where refs are concerned...

Nuggs sitting comfortably in 2nd spot in the West...
can see them playing to win in the 4th.. but not necessarily blow em out...


Lakers +5.5!!
also parlay Lakers +7.5 w/2 open!

I BELIEVE LEBRON WILL BE ON A MISSION TONITE!
and
IF Lakers can take a double digit lead at some point... then I jump "LIVE BET" and get odds on Nuggs to win at plus $$

maybe try Lakers 1q / 1h too...

I'm telling ya, they've been ALL OVER LeBronco!! Raggin Raggin Raggin!!

Best o'Luck Gents!

Also one key factor is Nuggs have look ahead game with Dubs for top spot in West.

Who will guard Joker? Kouzma out is bigger than any other factor. Rondo is selfish and Lebron truly has no one to setup plays for him or the Lakers. They don't have the speed on offense or defense to handle Denver. This game is setup to take Lakers money. Joker will feast inside out tonight and create havoc on the Lakers. This team has truly quit on Lebron as they are young paid punks who resent being possibly shipped out for the King's choice. Good luck tonight.

FYI - Walton is out and LUE is coming back to coach the Lakers next season.

I think a lot of times in the nba.... it's about which team wants it more that night....

I saw Denver play at home last wk vs the Jazz, Denv had only lost like twice all season at home.. (I had Nugg ml of cuz)... blowout city... a shorthanded Jazz team dominated from start to finish.. nuggs made a run to pull within a few and then boom... gave up like 8 straight pts and lost ...

point is... ANYthing can happen... and believe me I'm wrong more than my share lol

BUT...

IF Lebron is truly fired up.. playing defense... playing full minutes (does that EVer happen anymore?)... and being a "leader by example"... they can beat any team in the league even w/o Kuzma (who sucked the other nite btw).
Like I said, I've NEVER heard the local media (sportstalk public too) go after Lebron the way they did after losing to the Clippers the other nite

I'm not putting the car on it... but I'm playing it.. and keeping my finger near the "live bet" section
they've still got 19 gms left in reg season.. can't hang it up yet (I hope)

good luck tonite!

Lebong 13 points shy of breaking MJ?s scoring record could mean something here..

Kouzma and Ingram OUT.
Lebron gets the record but where will the scoring come from for LA?
