The only time they trailed in a series is after game 1 in round 1. If you want to bring so much negativity about this team and go on and on, let me give you an advise and suggest you start your own thread about why the C's can't win the championship..................................... 
People are just trying to save you money boss. Have you watched a game this playoffs? The Celtics rebounding kills them because their shot selection is often atrocious. Pair that with Rondo's inability or lack of desire to shoot from anywhere outside the paint and you get teams able to play the big man off the pick and roll, play under screens instead of fighting through them etc. If you do take the Celtics like you say because of their home edge, I'd wait until they lose the first two in Miami and then go 1 unit at what would probably be +600 or 700. BOL either way I'm not going to touch this series until game two when I can see what adjustments Miami makes against the Big 3. Maybe you saw He Got Game recently but news flash, as much as I love Ray Allen, he's no more Jesus Shuttlesworth and his jacking of threes in the first 8 seconds of the shot clock will just lead to many transition opportunities for the Heat where the King and DWade will eat their lunch. |

Put some real D against these Spurs and you'll see their flaws.

No, I listen to the radio.

WCF and you allow 39 points in the 4th Q. 
The championship will be won by the ECC. 
Therefore, if the Heat beat the C's. I'll be on the queen to get his first ring.

I'm not going to doubt a group of champions with nothing to lose. They have never been the favorites to win the championship. This is their last run together as a group and no matter how banged up, they're still grinding.
Money ain't the issue, if I lose, I go on to the next bet, there'll always be games.
My playoff wagers don't end with the C's, if they get beat, I'll be on the other team for the finals.
People need to relax about how bad this team is. If I thought they were, I wouldn't have made this bet.
GL to all and let's enjoy the conference finals.

Sure, when they win 3 more I will.
I'm applauding the outstanding job the refs did tonight, nice fair game.
Do they really need to shield the team at home with the MVP.
I hope they get a fair fight next game. I know who's the better team but I also know who the better fighters are with the coach who is doing all he can to make them believe and execute.
Great game by Lebron and Wade.

So a team that's won 20 in a row is now going to lose 4 of their next 5? |

This series was a coin flip, I don't care what anyone thinks.
Game 2 was a let down, made some critical mistakes but that's how it goes.
Any team that can turn it around after a OT loss like that is ALL HEART.
One game at a time.

Miami to win it all +300
Time to hedge.
Fading OKC, young guns playing their first finals, I'll gamble against this team. Profit will be reduced but now I have two defensive beasts with the finals experience to beat OKC.

If they can beat the Heat in a series they can beat anyone.
I'm done with this thread.
GL with your bets.

I've seen some bad calls in my life but this series had it all.
Boston has an incredible record closing out a series at home but when it's more money for the NBA.....anything could happen.

Nice call early on.
But by the way Bosh played fantastic in game 5, he wasn't rusty, his coach simply didn't play him enough. |

All the expeience in the world can not make-up for lack of talent rebounding the ball, little chance to none to win the NBA Title............................................
Some valuable lessons to be learnt here guys.
Don't bet a weak rebounding team to win the NBA Title or win a conference.
That's just 2 weak rebounding teams of 48 Champs (4.2%) to win the title since the league started tracking teams rebounds with opp rebounds in 1974.
And just 5 weak rebounding teams of 96 (5.2%) teams to make the finals since 1974.
A weak rebounding team I put at below 49%, the Celtics were 46.08%.
Just 1 team of 96 (1%) has made the final and they did win the title, under 48%, no team has made the final under 47%..................................................................

Lmao - Yep, it was the refs who cost Boston game 6.
....LeBron has the best game of his career and Heat win by 20+... Yep it was the Refs.
