Are the refs trying to get us out of the playoffs so that the Lakers make it?

    LOL!!! I don't remember that... I know for sure I was hammered that night because that was the night of the Niners game (I live out in the Bay Area). I didn't even bet on those games, I'm gonna assume I was just giving you crap cause you picked against San Fran... and I was drunk lol.

    Also, since you are out in Vegas, have you seen any lines for the LAL-DAL game yet? It's not up on my site... wonder why they haven't put out the line yet (Dwight's labia situation?)?

    Lol, I was on the 49ers bandwagon all season...had a futures bet with crappy odds on them to win the Super Bowl that I rode until the very end instead of hedging and taking the Ravens in order to guarantee money. Needless to say I was pretty disappointed when they didn't finish the job. I got them again as 7-1 favorites to win it all. I have that betting slip somewhere... I keep track of all my losses.

    Not sure either...maybe Dwight, maybe Nash but both are expected to play...consensus line is Mavs -3. It should be pretty close to that once official line is created. It wasn't there when I went by the sportsbook earlier today:

    Dallas has been doing quite well covering the spread lately. You never know what you're going to get with the Lakers. They barely beat a struggling Blazers team as -9.5 point favorites the other night.

    Imagine we are 8 and Lakers 9. Last game of the season at LAL, and if we lose Lakers are up to 8 place. Damn refs....

    We should do PO before it!

    Yeah there were some plays like today when Asik got fouled like crazy but there were no calls but other than that, our turnovers really killed us down the stretch.

    We're derailing the crap out of this thread... moving over to the gambling thread.

    I think we have been targeted based on the horribly bad calls lately, but you really can't do much about it. I think the players see that and have responded. It's the most mature thing I've seen this team do. They always play on. I love that about them. It's something I could learn from.
