I wish we played the Spurs more often, barely have seen any Lakers vs. Spurs this season. _________________ “Life is too short. You have to keep it moving.” - Kobe |

Then don't miss this game because we don't play the Spurs again, regular season, until next season. |

Cuz Lakers are mediocre on the road.
And the kids play worse on the road.
And BI is injured. |
But the Spurs are horrible |
7-4 at home though. |
Like 32 said they have played a lot in recent games with no rest and they are a old team unless a wizard gives them fresh legs, this should be a win. |
Patty Mills bricked a LOT of wide open looks last night. He's a 39% career shooter from 3. Role players usually hit those shots at home. We're going to need someone besides Lebron to hit some shots and help carry the offense. |
The Spurs shot 18% from 3 at the game in San Antonio earlier this year. I don't think the venue matters. Teams are shook when they play this team and they clank no matter where the game is. |

You mean you have barely seen them?
Because there isn't another team that we have seen more than we have seen the Spurs this season. |

Yup. Lonzo is like two different players at home vs on the road.
FG%: 43% vs 34%
3pt%: 44% vs 18%
Pts/Rebs/Ast: 10/6/5 vs 6/4/4
ORTG: 106 vs 87
DRTG: 104 vs 112 |
And it was the opposite last year. Because of that, I think it shows his consistency issues more so than a home vs road trend. |
If his consistency issues were not tied to home/road splits, we would see comparable numbers for home/road but we don’t.
It’s possible, perhaps even likely, that the reason he struggled at home last year is for a different reason than why he struggles on the road this year. |
Or it just could be statistical noise. |

They're going to double LeBron and make him more of a perimeter player going into this game.
Someone else is going to have to step up. _________________

And small sample size. His home vs road numbers will be much closer to each other by the end of the year. |

Outside of wanting it to be random error, which isn't likely, there's no evidence to suggest the differences are noise. Unless, we believe the noise is only occurring with Lonzo and not anyone else, also not likely.
Most players play better at home. It's more the degree to which Lonzo plays better at home that is interesting. I don't like +/-, but it was the only sort of "net" type rating on splits I could find on BF so just as a point of reference...
Lebron (+/-)
Home: +8.9
Road: -1.0
Ingram (+/-)
Home: +7.5
Road: +0.9
Kuz (+/-)
Home: +9.4
Road: -2.5
Lonzo(+/-)
Home: +7.4
Road: -8.5 |

Here's hoping that we can hit at least 30% of our 3's and 70% on free throws. |

But why are you so sure the 24 games from this year are more valuable than 50 games from last year where he was better on the road? Of course most players are better at home but that’s not the case with Lonzo over the course of his young career. |

These betting lines that seem too good to be true make me wonder. I can't see why the Spurs would be favored. |

Well, they're in SA, so expect the refs to try to rob us of the W to give them a moral victory during their tanking season. |

Because those are the numbers given the conditions of this year. And last year's numbers were based on the conditions of last year.
Just a theory, but maybe the young players are leaning harder on the new veteran presence we acquired when we are on the road.
We can debate WHY it is happening, I'm just merely pointing out that this season, Lonzo has not been nearly as good on the road as he has been at home. |

I'm seeing the spread currently at EVEN. |

That would be a bad business move. If the Spurs need losses, the Lakers need wins, and league ratings are helped by Lakers going as far as possible, there is one clear answer here. |

The Lakers were favored by -1 like 5 minutes ago, I’m guessing Vegas is still getting fans to bet on the game so that’s why it’s changing. |
