Good W for the Lakers and they are back.
They are certainly back making big statement on the the road.
Time to back them again, seems like the hearts are healing now and they are playing the normal game which they are dominating.

Meanwhile, games today are too early so I wasn't able to make bets on all the games on board.
As of now, all games are finished, and all Home team won.

Dude just look at this pass from LeBron James! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt60TLMUHYM.

Could this be the best assist of his whole career? I like watching it over and over again(RIP replay button). I don't know what he did there if it was a mishandling on a dribble that's why he found a hard time passing the ball or is it just him doing a fancy pass for some fancy points? Man, this was crazy. Although that game he only made 15 but he did have the triple double on the sheet plus a W plus a fancy pass.

It could be one of the best of his career, he could have learn it from the man himself - Rondo, who loves to make a lot of fake passes. I think he saw Avery at the last minute that's why he opted to pass the ball on him who started to wax hot. Good W for the Lakers and they are back.

That's sick, but ohh boy, his been doing that in practice for sure.

Sure its not, there's a lot of no look assist from him which I think more difficult.

you'll see more of him if you continue to follow the Lakers this season, Lebron being the PG are averaging 10 asst per game if I am not mistaken, so at least you can see few of good assists every game.

Lakers starting strong in the 1st quarter outscoring the Kings, (44-22), THAT 22 points up in the first quarter alone.

Can the Kings come back in this game? Let's find out if they can, but I am confident Lakers would win by blowout to bounce back from a loss in LA.

They'll win this game, Kings has no answer against them and they can't make a big rally, it's already in the 3rd quarter now yet the lead is still 20 points, if Lakers can hold on to that lead until the 4th quarter, then I believe 1 quarter is not going to be enough for a rally, maybe they'll cover but less likely.

The 3 point shots of the Lakers was superb and thanks to the 16 points 1st quarter game of BRADLEY.
They really got the touch in 3s in this game, KINGS had some answers from the deep 3 but not close enough to stay strong in that game.
I really admire how the KING makes those passes and sees those unguarded teammates.
I also noticed that good ball movements from the kings they've tried to catch-up in the 3rd period making those good rotations of the ball but since Lakers have a huge lead from the first half they've unable to get closer. At the other side, Lakers have good touch lots of 3's and a very well shared baskets.

It was a weird game as Lakers basically destroyed kings, the difference of 16 points was all due to mainly game ending and garbage time was basically whole fourth quarter so the difference got closed to 16 points, there was bigger peaks in the game.

When Lakers actually play and have fun and be really a team, I don't see anyone stopping them, that was always like that for Lebron as well, when he has good players around him that play good enough with one more star beside him and a lot of entertainment between the players, he got super strong and destroyed all other teams, he just didn't liked playing when he was carrying cavs on the last 2 seasons tho. In any case this Lakers team will probably win the ring unless some big injury happens, I don't see any team that can beat them on a 7 game series.

The game ended up on the score of 124-104. 3 point shooting on this game do have some high accuracy and i do love rondos passing as always.

They do really look much more dedicated this time.A nice win for Lakers by the way and also Kings performance is commendable imho.

The Lakers has been almost undefeated from a team under .500 and by far the best record for road games this season. So, if the Lakers will play against a low seeded team, the chance for them to cover the spread that the bookies will open is pretty high. But, when playing against above .500 teams, the chance for them to win or cover the spread is fair. That's what I noticed from the Lakers team so far this season.

Great! Thank you for that.

Chances of them losing against under what you mentioned is really low.
That is why I had been losing my bets against them.  Grin

I learned something though. That is why I already stopped betting against them anymore.
But whenever they are against Dallas or Nuggets, chances of my emotions being pulled is there.
So again, back to betting against the Lakers.  Grin
I would keep this in mind though.  Wink

That's why they lose against the Blazers, right?
Well, we really can't tell if that would continue to be the trend, that is only based on your observation, for how many games?
It's nice if we can find some stats on that and hopefully some members would share sites than we can check on different betting stats.

If Nygeets will continue their winning streak this handicap is more enough to place a bet. They can cover this if they play the same way
against the bucks, They've known for good defense and if they continue working to make it more tight it will be hard for piston to execute
and make this as close game.

I do agree with that.
The handicap is way too low.

Pistons had been losing in 5 streaks and they should have been given more if they consider how strong the Nuggets is.
Easy bet for all of us here as we could see the history.
What are the odds of Pistons winning this game? I think it is way too low.
How about this?
Bucks -12.5 @ 1.93 against the Suns. Is that enough?
Bulls also is being given +10.5 vs Raptors. Wow!

They won 5 points in the 2nd quarter and 2 in the 3rd.
Still not enough to get near that 22 points lead made at the first.
They did not make it at the end.

Tomorrow will be Detroit Pistons against the Nuggets.
Nuggets have won 2 in a row with strong teams, Jazz and Bucks.
Now it is just -1.5 and I think it is a good bet.
Yes, putting my bets for them.

I kinda understand how Lakers could lose the game, they probably do not feel like playing, I understand that Kobe would have wanted them to play hard and win on his behalf but Lakers know the fact that they are a better team than Blazers any day of the week and could easily sweep them on playoffs as well, so it wouldn't be really hard for them yet they were feeling horrible, check out the before game ceremony and how many active players on the roster was crying, you can't just switch from crying to fighting, that is not something so easy.

As long as they win the cup this year and tribute it to Kobe, I would be super happy, Lakers getting another ring just at the year Kobe died would be really all Kobe would have wanted, he was always a champion and would want that to continue after his death.

A loss is a loss though.

They can just take it back. There will always be a next game and game after that. They could always take back what they lost in this game. I think I would also not be in the mood of playing just after paying a tribute to him, they lost by 8 so I think it is really kind of a tribute game for him.

I do hope they win to at least ease the pain with Lebron at the helm of another championship ring for the Lakers this season.
That remains to be seen, though the Lakers now have a good record but I can see some inconsistency on them, in the playoffs it's a different story and they'll have to beat the best teams in the west, unlike his time with the Cavaliers where he dominated the other teams.

here in the west, there's clippers, Jazz, Rockets, and Denver which are all good contenders, it would be great if they'll win actually but me I am just looking on the realistic possibility.

Let's just say it is going to be a good playoffs.
Win or lose they will play well, no doubt about that.

Both Pelicans and Trail Blazers are now playing to dominate the game with 3 winning streak.
They both want a spot on the 8th seed.
This might become more like a playoffs game even if it is not starting yet.
Grizzlies will need to secure their spot. Ja Morant should prevent their team from losing too much starting now.

The pain would bd eased but the legacy is being passed to him and that is not an easy taks, it is a huge task. Shouldering a legacy, a team that is built by a legend would be so tough but I know Lebron is ready for it especially this is for him, for his family that's lost. It will not just be lebron who will be pressured by this, the whole lakers team will.

The lost to the game by 8 points 127-119.
8 points?? Isn't it the number of Kobe when he first played? A coincidence Cheesy Weird happenings right now Cheesy.

I was thinking the same. I guess the NBA doesn't want to forget his legacy and will forever engrave his name in the league.

That's 8 coming from a lose and Kobe is about winning, they should have at least tried everything to win as a tribute for Kobe, a lose doesn't look good IMO.

Well, yeah that doesn't look good either, but let's just consider the fact that the LA team were emotional during the game, and just like Damian said, the game started slow because everyone is emotional. It may sound absurd like everyone said " It's just a regular season", what's important is to win the NBA finals this year.
I hope they will do everything they can to win it all.
