OK guys, early discussion set up here.  Spurs keeping it close midway through the 2nd Quarter.  Big question is, do they have the stamina and legs to keep up with the Lakers in the 2nd Half?

Spurs notoriously dish out a 13-point quarter in the 2nd Half here and there plus the Lakers are known for blowing it open during a quarter.

Does this happen?

Or do the Spurs' legs keep up and we see a back-and-forth fight until the 4th?

Spurs keeping it close in the second quarter you say? I think it's the other way around: the Lakers are trying to keep up with the Spurs and have been since the opening tip.

I'm hoping I can get LA at -1 or better. The home team will come back and win. Hold your lead Spurs!

These guys are winners, though I still think the Lakers win but won't cover.... Spurs +7.5

True, but I was just talking from a pre-game point-of-view.

Well, guys, nearing the end of the Half.

Any 2H thoughts?

From my point of view question is : Do the Lakers have stamina, legs, invetional ideas and better defense to keep up with Spurs in 2nd half ?

LA -8 +100 here so I have them just to win straight up and don't have to pay juice. 10 unit max bet for me. Let's go Lakers!

The line is geared for the Laker backers.  All they have to do now is win the game in order for you to cash, well techincally, lose by 1.  It's meant for the chasers.  I have LA -7.5 and am willing to concede the loss and take the Spurs to win out.  Also, the total isn't even 1/2 of the original game total.  It gives bettors on the full game under a change to "middle"..aka...lose part of their winnings.
 
I'm taking Spurs 2H and Under...but i'll let the public drive the prices up a little first.

I'm not chasing a Lakers -7.5 pick. If you click my survivor link you can actually see I picked SA +7.5 pre-game. The Spurs can stay close but they can't win in LA and if they do then hats off to them but I like my chances.

It's how I feel...
if you're hedging then it's cool, there's a large middle.  Unlike in the total.  Spurs typically slow the pace down, and run their offense their the post.  The Lakers starting 5 don't run all that much, in comparison to their bench.  But from the looks of it, the Spurs were prepared. 
 
I know that I'll kick myself for not backing Kobe, but...that's just how the cookie crumbles.
