He also had the posted he had the Bulls -2.5 for the Game for Over 10K. Two 10K bets for the same game? C'mon....

Posting these silly $ amounts is a sure fire way to lose people more money than they should bet. Celts will probably win by 20 tonight anyways.

Allen bruised his tailbone in that contest after falling in the fourth quarter fall but said he wouldn't miss any time.

However, Celtics forward Brian Scalabrine, who started for Garnett, strained his neck in the first quarter and didn't return. His status for this contest is uncertain.

If Scalabrine can't play, Leon Powe or Glen Davis would likely start.

MORE CELTIC INJURIES HMMM I'LL TAKE A 10 PT HOME DOG.

I can think of 26 teams that I may take the Clips against as a home dog playin an opponent in a "triple negative"... I can think of 3 I wouldnt; and on the top of that list is the C's, who give you what they got every night.

Maybe a good play, but definitely advise sound

management and not to ignore the principals of wagering, as in how big a % of bankroll you risk on any single wager.

Dont risk more than youre willin to kiss goodbye. Especially against a real team like the C's.

BOL to all

TO THE KNICKS AND GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS.

"... and on the top of that list is the C's, who give you what they got every night."

Nailed it. This is my main reason for backing Boston, which I locked in early this morning at -8. If it were a middle tier but better team that LA Clippers -- say, the Sixers, or maybe Charlotte -- then I could see the rationale. However, nothing I've seen all season leads me to believe Boston will "ease up" and just try to cruise through this one cause its the Clippers.

Boston plays with a mindset to crush EVERYONE in their path. If they can win each game by 20+, they will. They don't let up, period, no matter if it is Cleveland, Orlando, Minnesota, or LA Clippers that they are playing.

Bator is dead on point here -- Boston should be the play. People are overthinking this, trying to get cute, and are gonna get hammered when the Clippers are down 12 at the end of the 1st quarter and then play with the same amount of heart and desire (zero) that they have exhibited this entire season.

Best -- they also lost straight up to Indiana in the beginning of the season when they were 9 point favorites as well.

The Knicks, the Warriors, and the Pacers are LIGHT YEARS better than the Clippers. Their coaches are better. Their players have HEART and actually give a shiat about winning and losing.

I agree with the play Thebest. I'm putting 5 Units down. I do agree with MrKnish about hyping it up & telling everyone your betting what is an annual salary for some people. It's a good way to lose noobs a lot of $$. I'm with ya though, so BOL

No team is invincible, but around here we try to find the squads that will bring their best effort as often as possible, and without a doubt, that team is the Boston Celtics, which simply makes them a very dangerous team to f*ck with. Are the Celtics capable of laying a giant egg? Yes, they are. Is it a good idea to chance that it may happen? Not so much!

Like the Clips in this spot too. Like you touched on Best, Obviously No Garnett and now Allen and Scalabrine are a lil banged up. I can see the C's winning but just coasting in, not giving their best and maybe getting like a 7pt win here.

The clippers are not that bad at home. This is probably their biggest game of the year and for boston? not so much

Great situation for the clippers indeed

"I can see the C's winning but just coasting in, not giving their best and maybe getting like a 7pt win here."

This is like the fourth time I've seen this type of statement today. Seriously, what evidence is there that the Celtics don't give their best efforts against weak teams? When do they coast? I haven't seen it at all this year, please cite me some examples if you disagree.

I'm sorry, but that is not how the Celtics do business.
