Sportsbooks inflate the **** out of the Lakers lines, because the public will hammer them, and Vegas gets paid off huge when the Lakers win by like 5 points.

What I'm saying is, that's not how they set the odds. They set the odds to try and get an equal amount of action on each side, so they can collect the juice. And with teams like the Lakers/Cowboys/Duke, they will inflate the odds because they're the public betting favorite.
Using Vegas odds to support your argument of the Lakers winning game 6 means basically nothing, that's all.

give me 2-1 odds.
my 3 vs. your 6 since celtics only have to win 1 and lakers have to win 2.
