Default Celtics -2.5 looks good

The determining factor in this first game is Garnett's defense. Gasol will have a hard time in offense against a true power forward. The crowd is also a big factor against a young team on the road. Celtics beat the Lakers easily in regular season.

with the 2,3,2 format.... the start of the series is really crucial for celts being at home.... best play is to take celts....


Celts in game 1 for a grand... if loss celts in game 2 two grand... if I lose 3k then so be it.

Lakers are the play here. Everybody see's how obvious it is to take the Celtics. It seems like you should put your whole life savings on the Celtics tonight because it looks so damn money. I'm taking the Lakeshow +2.5, Kobe is on a mission. Celtics are fvcked because its a 2-3-2 format, I guess the NBA doesn't want to waste their money on plane tickets.

Squares don't generally move the line much at Pinnacle and the Greek yet the game has gone to 3. Someone whom the books respect has backed the Celtics.

I am the exact opposite of rake. Lakers +130 tonight. If they lose, go a little heavier on Lakers ML in Game 2.

LT: Actually, the real play is Lakers down 0-2. If the Celtics sweep ion Boston LA WILL win game 3 so long as Stern is in power.
