Boston at Los Angeles (06/10/2008)

Ok... Boston in the Playoffs, Not so great on the road. and if Boston loses one in LA (which they will), it will more than likely be thisone. I believe Boston is 2-9 on the road in the playoffs.

MrCrazy, please don't forget that you have an appointment at 1 pm tomorrow. Mr. Shrink will be waiting for you.

actually 2-7... but 2-1 against Detroit, the team they were gunning for...

but i agree... the game Boston is least likely to steal is game 3...

1.) 4/26 at Atlanta - Loss

2.) 4/28 at Atlanta - Loss

3.) 5/2 at Atlanta - Loss

4.) 5/10 at Cleveland - Loss

5.) 5/12 at Cleveland - Loss

6.) 5/16 at Cleveland - Loss

7.) 5/24 at Detroit - Win

8.) 5/26 at Detroit - Loss

9.) 5/30 at Detroit Win

I believe that is 2-9

If you guys think that Boston will take one in LA, you are nuts.  You are counting out the best palyer in the world right now.  He will have a monster game and will be contagious to his supporting cast.  Get ready to see 28 point quarters from the LAKER SHOW.. BOSTON CAN NOT SCORE MORE THAN 83 POINTS IN THIS ONE BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT GO TO THE LINE 38 TIMES.  GO AHEAD AND BUY POINTS AND GET , 

I don't know if you can give the Celtics a Mulligan for the Atl and Clev series, but I do believe the true Celtics team is the one from the Detroit series and was so dominant in the regular season.  They were able to win 2 games in Detroit in one series, which is a far greater feat than beating the Hawks and Cavs in 4 or 5 game would have been.  Will Boston win a game in LA?  That would be a definite yes in my mind, but it won't be game 3.  And if it's not game 4, then game 5 would be almost be certainly it.

As mentioned above, the Celtics to win the series is sitting at -140, this will get even better after game 3 when the Lakers win.  This will be the time to take Boston to win the series around even money.  Excellent value against teams coming back from down 2-0 to win the series (too lazy to look up the exact odds of teams down 2-0 to come back).

Also, if anyone ever took Boston for the series spread (highly doubt anyone looking at my posts).  Then Boston +2.5 games will be cashed in, and +1.5 games is almost a certainty (they were at -236 and -104 respectively).

Game 3, the line is way too high but I do like the Lakers to win and come close to covering.  I'll have to agree that the under is looking like the best bet.

High? Love to get high! Lakers going to win the series? Don't know. Win the next game at home after losing 2 in Bean-Town? More than likely..... Is Home court an advantage for the Lakers? 8-0 at home and 0 loses in the last 14 says YES. You make the call.

Here is Some Data that backs you.......

Only three teams: Boston against Los Angeles in 1969, Portland against Philadelphia in 1977, and Miami against Dallas in 2005 have overcome an 0-2 deficit to win it all. The Lakers have some work to do if they intend to be the fourth.

AGREE WITH YOU ON THE BEST & LOVE THE UNDER!

Simple fact: At this point in the series, game 3 is game 7 for the Lakers, and they know it. They KNOW if they lose this one..... They're done! Period. So the odds with all the facts taken into consideration, are that the Lakers win game 3. And the odds are overwhelming in their favor. Now by how much they win by? That my friend is up to you. Vegas (so far) is saying by 9.5.......

Thanks dude.  After the Lakers win game 3, this will be great value and I'll be sure to make a big play on it.  KG isn't Disco Dirk, and he won't let his mates blow 2-0.

Kam.... You're right on the Money with this one! When the Lakers win game 3, HUGE Value! Besides, the networks need at least 2 or 3 more games to get their money (Millions) back from what they spent to get the T.V. ratings up so high.
