Keep this going for the Boston’s game

Consider it karma for all the crying emoji you posted when others lose a bet

GSW were -2 for the game at tip off with JB out

Down three at the half and with a strong finish

I was expecting -2 or -2.5 for the second half

Instead they were a pk

Scared me off

So why was the half time line what it was?

Damn

Is Butler out for the game?

I think the Sens have a shot - they won’t be disheartened after the first game and Toronto are always flakey. The Wild not so much…..

@collectNOW

 But that’s my point. Aside from the must win angle (which they could still do for the Minnesota bet to cash) does Los Angeles have anything else to justify this number?

A good coach who can make the necessary adjustments?

Refs who will penalise Minnesota enough for a physical approach?

Individuals who can single-handedly take back control?

If not then this one is the away team all the way

@CrazyMilkMan

 I’ve always loved your work….. but stats are a result of games, not the other way around. Good luck anyway

And, is the LA coaching staff good enough to make the necessary changes?

They won… but it was a bounce or a shot away from going the other way. Still….. money in the bank same as if they won by 20!

Not much competition!

But Detroit could go the distance or at least have old fashioned scraps in each game

This is intriguing. It was men against boys in the first game. Has the line moved because of the James factor?  Because people believe there’s no way the Lakers go down 2-0 at home?

My view is that Minny are dialled in and know that they need to slam the door early after recent playoff losses. So they won’t let up

Could the refs step in and call more fouls on Minny? Or was their strength not of that type?

Beat LA!

But more importantly, beat the books!

Am starting to think the famed Split left us when its instigator departed…..

This game should be over already. 14 hits in 6 innings 

Lakers scored 7 points in last 9 minutes

They fouled down 15 with five seconds left to go. There is no other explanation as to why they would do that

That was undeniable. Down 15 with five seconds to go. No other explanation 

no it’s not

The absolute state of this white Sox team. What a way to lose a game. Why even show up???
