    Magic +130...wtf
    The Orlando Magic are +130 vs the Celtics on the series. This seems like a nice price on the Magic. Someone want to explain why the defending "chumps" are a favorite versus the Magic. I thought the line would've been the reverse...KG coming back?

    Don't worry. The Crumbs for this pick are wonderful! Take it. It's a steal

                Celtics own the Magic even without KG. Orlando has been playing just as bad as the C's. They just had it much easier over the woeful Sixer's. Boston wins this series in 5... Also don't be surprised if KG makes a miraculous appearance in one of the games.

                  If Celtics and Cavs meet in the Eastern Conference finals KG will show up.

                      Considering the fact Orlando Does have shooters, I think I might. Thanks for the opinion though.

                          Lewis, Turkoglu, Redick, and to a lesser extent, Alston and Pietrus. Get a clue.

                                there different types of shooters....ther spot up stand still shooters

                                Celtics in 7

                                and if Reddick is going to be on the floor for any substantial amount of time celtics in 4...
                                Who is he going to guard??? Rondo???

                                  I can now get the Celtics at +105...looks like I'll bet it both ways and make a risk free profit, more if Magic win.

                                    What people is missing here is, who's going to stop D Howard from scoring with no resistance whatsoever in the paint. Perkins can't stop him without getting into foul trouble early. I'll take D Howard easy high percentage points in the Paint vs Boston perimeter shooting anyday.

                                      think of it this way. if it was celtics - sixers....magic - bulls

                                      celtics would have won the series easily. maybe 5 or 6
                                      bulls (at the same level they were playing vs boston) would have pwned the magic. maybe 4 or 5


                                      but looking back on this playoffs so far....lord only knows what might happen. everyone plays tougher and teams really begin to distinguish themselves.

                                      i like the magic in this spot, i really do. although superman can be a beast, i just cant bring myself to lay the big dollars down against pierce rondo and allen. really curious to see how game 1 goes.

                                        I don't think people are missing anything, Perkins is a bigger body than Dalembert was. Not saying hes going to be shut down, but he will be contained better in this series, so the Turk and other All star better hit some shots.

                                          Where are you getting your lines from? I've been looking and can't find boston at +105.

                                                  What would you think if it was the Celtics VS 76ers in the first round, and the Magic VS the Bulls in the first round?

                                                  We would be seeing a Bulls vs Celtics 2nd round.

                                                  Im thinking if the Celtics can outlast the Bulls the way the Bulls played so far in the playoffs, they can hold of the Magic.

                                                    Lee might not play for this series.

                                                      Magic have no shot without Jameer Nelson and Courtney Lee.

                                                        I WISH I could get Magic +130 now. Still, I'm happy with -105, as they will be closer to -120 by gametime tonight.

                                                            Maybe I was right after all, I capped series at Orlando -135.

                                                              Nice going LT.

                                                              Still think that if Courtney Lee doesnt play the entire series ... the C's might take this one away.

                                                                Bookmaker...it went all the way to +110, after watching this game, I can see why. Magic is the MUCH better team, atleast tonight.
