i don't think the Suns can do it. i just don't think they know how to win these kind of games. plus, their coach isn't named Phil.

I'd have pulled it down to 5.5 too

This event started off as -110 for both teams with a 6 point spread, but I decided to change it to 5.5 paying -115 and -105....which is exactly what the spread is right now.

People love the Lakers with points here. Love it.
