Snipes NBA Thursday - The Infamous *30 Banger!

[Snipes]

Really like a play tonight and it's a 30 unit play. I haven't missed one 30 unit play this year making it 8-0.

Some of you might think this is a homer play but it's not. Denver is getting way too much love. The Lakers didn't even play all that well in game 1 and still squeaked by with a win. Melo played out of his mind and the Laker bigs were shutdown. That won't happen again.

The Lakers are going to come out firing and take this game by 10+. Kobe even had a so-so game and I think that will change. Denver got away with a lot of hacking calls on Kobe and the Lakers never really exploited the defensive mismatches that they have.

Melo will probably get his again because nobody has the size to control him. However, Lakers have been switching Ariza on Billups which is what I love. I think that will win the series for them. As long as you keep 1 starter from Denver in check, in this case Melo or Billups, and 2 from the bench in check, you win the game. That's what Denver relies on.

If Bynum contributes tonight even in the slightest manner, I think Lakers win this easy.

2 serious mismatches with the starting lineups, where you got nobody on that team to guard Kobe and nobody on the Lakers to guard Melo. Should be fun and close, but Lakers end up taking it by 10+. This is a must win for the Lakers, not Denver. Denver is still yet to go home and the Lakers know how hard it is to win in Denver.

Lakers by 8-12.


*30 - Los Angeles Lakers -5.5

I don't know if the momentum will shift this game but I am thinking about taking the over
