    Record 9-8 $-1550

    It has been a shitty month...but I am looking forward to this game...my thinking is that LAL will open up at -1/pk or so...and I expect the line to end around +2 before game time...So jump on it....I'll take BOS -3 if needed..LAL have revenge thinking and if this was a few weeks ago...I would have had no problem thinking that they had a good shot...however right now..BOS looks great and the Lakers are in a down spin...Putting 1/2 my bankroll on the line..

    1. BOS ATS (+1 to -3) $4500

    Did you catch the conversation on ESPN between Magic and Kobe. He admittedly stated that Boston imposed their will on them last year. With that said, I would have to say that Kobe has a bit of a chip on his shoulder. Now the question is this the game that the tide turns?
     
    Personally, I think the over is a much safer bet. Due to a Nationally televised game. Alot of showboating and very little defense. Just my .02 cents.
