What in the world happen last night?

I went to bed a little before midnight.. how do the lakers lose on the night they honor Kobe. 

good thing I didn’t touch this game. Blazers are red hot right now.

The either lost because they cant play or because they sold the game.

Choose your poison

Lets be honest Fakers lost because they are not good enough to win games under big pressure, thats why they keep losing to Clippers at Staples Center, thats why they lost in Philly last week and thats why Damian torched them last night, Dame feels no pressure.

LeBron was awful

They simply lost because it was owed to them. They beat blazers twice already. Hard to sweep a series against a solid team.. dame is coming on right now and owed them that. Can't win them all. People deluded themselves or rather were jaded to believe that Lakers had to win the game for Kobe. Childish like idea. Kobe meant just as much to dame and a whole generation of players playing now. Very great performance from dame. 

But.. LeBron does need to have better wording in the future for how he says things because he puts a Target on his back .. when he said the it's up to me thing to carry on the legacy.. he kind of made it awkward for Lakers believers etc

I think the spread was fair. Blazers got beat by 20 + against Lakers and lost by 8 to them .. and weren't too great on the road either. The averages justified the spread... To be exact it was an -11.5 spread that was bet up to 13. I don't know any bookie that would give Lakers any less.. no even money then at all...

Stayed away from the game.  They lost because they played lousy, welcome to sports.  It happens all the time.  Trying to work out a system to spot potential upsets like this.  They occur often enough to actually see if certain games/situation can lead to an upset.  Anyway, it's part of the game and it's been going on forever.  Nothing new.  We've seen it before.

Exactly... I try to help ppl spot these games . They happen all the time in the NBA.. team beat up on the other team.. other team comes back with revenge  etc.. it really is the best way to make money in the NBA. Shit blazers prob gonna beat jazz today too . Dame right now on a mission. 

I don't understand your surprise. The correct line for that game was Lakers -8, not -13. Portland had an overlay of 5 points, making them the best bet on the board, along with Denver.

Projections for this game had it around Lakers -7
