Lakers Only -11?????

Is it me or does it seem strange that the Lakers, who were just favored by 7.5 against the spurs and they covered easy, are only favored by 11 against the Bobcats (not that 11 points is nothing but I would think that the spurs are more than 3.5 points better than the bobcats). Also the Bobcats are underdogs by 9.5 tomorrow against the blazers.

Opinions please!!!

good question , i would think that the bobcats being 7-0 ats and playing their best basketball this season has to do with the line being set at 11.5 and is now down to 10.5.

i would lean bobcats too go with the streak never against one.

Well you can get the line at -7 right now in the second half. I think LAL roll this second half and cover the -11 also.
