that's because the books are hoping to scare off that orlando money. I've already booked this play pretty heavy because i had some supporting insider info, but that reverse line movement is VERY hard to ignore. early money was on the celtics. The line opened at ORL +3.5. That instinctively pushes me towards the magic as it is right below the key number of 4. If the celtics were going to cover this spread, i think the line would have opened at 4 or 4.5 because the books would have been looking to funnel money towards the magic, however that was not the case. Furthermore, even after already being a low line, it collapsed by about 2 points, bringing the game to a virtual pick em with the C's really only having to win at -1.5, something i'm doubting more and more that they do here. Orlando took the last two games between these two this year, the 3rd one in boston featured a garnett-less lineup. and the last one in orlando, again only had 15 minutes of garnett as he was only back for a brief stay and had little to now effect. For those worried about the absence of young stud courtney lee, he was only 5-14 with 4 rebounds and 4 assists in the last two games combined, so his abscence shouldn't mess them up much.
I'm not ruling out the celtics for the series yet, but after a grueling 7 game tilt with the bulls, they won't be as rested or prepared as the magic coming into this one, and the magic should set out to take full advantage of dodging detroit this postseason. I've got the magic in 6, but wouldn't be surprised to see celtics take it in 7.

lots of money going down on orl to drop the line a full point!!!!!!!!!!hhhmmmmmmmm
money is pretty balanced with the edge going to the celtics at 57% of money and that could increase with the line at -1.5. taking the celtics is just way too easy here.

This friggin NBA is knocking me broke. But you have to bet the dam games to watch them. So I might as well throw some more hard earned cash down the drain.
Orlando - 92 Boston - 89
Magic +2.5 under 189
I don't give a dam if the home team rules this series.
Since I like Boston here, I'll take the Magic because of the way things have been playing out for me. GREAT LOGIC
I just hate when i have to go against the Coronel....but just have a feeling here....

I'll probably be laying out and watching this one but I can't escape the thought that the team that's more ready to play this game is Boston, after being forced to play at the highest level for 7 games and to remember they're a defensive team after all.
And this is despite the fact that they didn't get in an pregame Orlando prep practice. They just have to go out and play.
While Orlando did get some time to get Celtic specific in their approach, they seem more likely to need some game time to rediscover the necessary intensity to keep up with a team that plays big-time pressure basketball like the Boston Celtics.
It really is too bad we don't get to see Jameer Nelson in this series because I'd have a much stronger feeling about Orlando, but to me, they still haven't proven they're mentally ready to take 4 games from Boston.
Again, just a lean, no play for me as of right now.

Not enough inside support to stop Howard tonight, he'll be pumped / aggressive after sitting out...should be major foul issues tonight on Boston's thinned out front line.
Orlando just needs to REASONABLY protect the basketball....(Turnover differential would be Celtics main avenue to victory tonight, in their situation).
ORLANDO
in texas holdem we like to call your kind a ummmm whats the word.... "DONKEY"

I think the Celtics are vulnerable right now, although I don't like the Magic that much. I give the edge to Orlando in this game and the series if they come with intensity and play smart, but wouldn't be that surprised to see them blow big leads and settle for jumpshots. I have some teasers and parlays riding on a lakers win so will just bet this one in-game.

After crazy 7 Game series I don't think the Celts take the Magic lightly or look past them. Sure only a couple of days rest but I really don't see a let down. Greenbacks on the Celts -1.5. Good luck to all.
