Orlando has better talent with KG out and still they are in a dogfight and a Game 7 for one reason--BAD COACHING
 
Ron Van Jeremy is horrible as a coach when it comes to close games.  WHen tough decisions are needed, the mans butthole puckers up.  I wouldnt trust my money in that mans hands ever. 
 
Everyone knows when the games have been close, you have Celtic big men consisting of Perkins, Michael Rapport, Glen Davis, and seldom used Mikki Moore--you go downlow to the big guy.  Not throw up some jackup three pointer or have Rashard Lewis play with his back towards the hoop.
 
Rivers will outcoach this bum in Game 7 and the Celtics will move on only to their ASSES kicked against my Cavaliers.

Laying the points and taking the Celtics. And a small play on the under...

Hey that prop looks good. I'm looking for a little help after losing the 3rd and 4th QTRs on the Lakers. I wanted to take the unders on both but instead was inluenced to take the lakers -2 for each Q. We all know the lakers were up by 20 at that point so the question would be do they continue to roll. Well, I went large on the 4th (after losing the 3rd) and Houston came up with 12 unanswered pts in the last 2:30 to destroy my "certain" cover. We've all had that happen but the Lakers 2nd team showed no close-out class!

That's why I've laid of a side at this pt. and grabbed the under.  Think they're both going to have to fight for every pt.  That small line has been perplexing from day one but Boston could have the refs behind them.....can't forget that. I don't really care who we (the Cavs) play as I think we can take both.

everywhere I read people are saying the bookies dont give out free gifts and want Joe public to bet the Celts but .....Maybe just maybe the bookies knew if they set the line low enough everyone would think that and would think the fix is in and would flock to the Magic maybe what they actually want is to attract Orlando money

Reverse psychology ?

Im taking the Celtics -2

It's such a slight spread, and even still mad public are drawing into the lure that is Boston. Not here. Orlando will have one more trick up their sleeve, and win it. Bench play will be crucial, and thus far, the Magic haven't shown much of any. That will come to drastic change tonight. Offering up a kidney if Orlando should fail (my liver is well-sauced, and no one would have much use for it).
 
That 'Jerry Wrasse' resembles one of the Gotti grandsons. If he weren't also pulling for the Magic, I'd have prison sex with him.
 
ORL  93  BOS 88
Good-night, Bean Town!

Anyway, Orlando is better. I know everyone will point to the games but I still think the real Orlando will show up, the one that woke up in game 3, and score over 100. And though I think Allen will be clutch now that it matters it won't be enough. Big baby clangs too many in the fourth quarter and the Magic win by 7. Howard gets 20 boards and 21 points, hits an astounding 60% of his foul shots and fouls out with 3 minutes left (at this point Van Gundy sighs with relief because he doesn't have to justify taking the big guy out because he can't hit from the stripe), but Turkulo gets some clutch bounds and the Magic win. 
Next week they stay close to Cleveland only losing by 5 in game one.
