Celtics @ Orlando
Thoughts ? How big is Rafer Alston suspension ? Can Celtics steal back home court advantage. Im thinking +4.5 is generous. Money line also look great value. Whaddya fink...

Celtics +4.5 w/ over.... It should fly over actually
----Magic have no heart. When they face teams that dont waste time doubling Howard, and rather focus on rebounding their bricks for 3pts range Magic gets their asses handed to them.
Fell me on this... See how the magic gained a big lead in the first half of game 1, but shit it away. They never changed their strategy throughout the game. Game 2 they fell behind by a large margin, b/c of poor 3pts shooting, but didnt change course and keep hoisting up 3pts. Magic arent a smart team, and lack any intensity, and leadership.
Celtics ML has alot of value also.
--Paul Peirce was a no show in game 2, but House picked up the slack. I expect those roles to be flip-flopped in game 3, which still smells like a Celtics win.Comment -
Orlando will lose this game without Alston. They will get Courtney Lee back but it won't matter. Boston wins this game. ML is the play here.Comment -

Thx mac, ive been using the "chase" strategy ever since the playoffs, time for a clean slateComment -
I like Boston to cover !! I might buy two points and make it 6.5 !! But they traded for alston for a reason and now they will not have himComment -
Alston has shot the worst percentage out of the entire Orlando team in BOTH games. Granted, Alston had 7 assists and 5 assists, but that doesn't amount much to Rondo's 8 and 18.
The many misfired shots Alston took could have been points had another player shot it, which is why I believe the absence of Alston's mediocre assist rate and horrid shooting percentage will actually benefit the Magic (similar to Lakers' benefit without Fisher, but that's for another thread).
Celtics ML is a trap, imo, going with ORL ML (or better yet, tease it with game under, thereby negating the -175 on ORL ML).Comment -
Also, if anyone is going for BOS ML, you might as well parlay BOTH BOS ML + Under and BOS ML + Over. With BOS ML at +155 (for me), each parlay has +386. Bet parlays on BOS ML and both over and under, you will win more than just BOS ML. However, if Boston loses... then, well, maybe you shouldn't be betting on BOS ML in the first place

not sure what to think bout this gameComment -
Rafer can take care of the ball much better than anyone else on the team. He also makes the offense flow much better. His assist to TO is a great 2.9 (Mo Will of Cleveland is only 1.8 as a comparison). He's not as efficient as Jameer Nelson was but he has been a quality pickup for them. Now your asking Anthony Johnson and Tyron Lue to run the offense. Big dropoff.
Houston really needed Alston in the playoffs because they can't take care of the ball either. A PG that can take care of the ball and give you a great assist/TO is very important.Comment -
Wow I am much more impressed looking at this thread, Orlando is in trouble tomorrow without Alston. Now like Mac said they wil have to rely on Anthony Johnson and Tyronn Lue to bring the ball up and they are not very good at all. Also Courteney Lee is most likely still not gonna play tomorrow or be very limited. Celts money line and the under is the correct play for tomorrow, they will limit the catches in the paint for Howard and guard the 3 point line. Orlando will be lucky to score 85 points tomorrow!!Comment -
If I'm home, and not doing shit, Boston money line, 1 unit.
But I'm passing
Good games on MLB and NHL, tonightComment -
I took Celts +4 tonight

Tough game to cap. Magic will get a ton of calls tonight.Comment -
The Celtics have gotten away with not doubling Superman but Dwight Howard will burn them for not doubling him @ home. He was very upset with his performance last game and he usually plays well (as do most superstars) coming off a bad game in the playoffs. Take the Dwight Points+Rebounds Prop.Scared money don't make money

Alston wont make as big of a difference as everyone is saying. It's about Boston and their vets. They outplayed orlando the last 6 quarters of this series. They have the edge, and the momentum. Money line is a great grab here.
Celts roll.Comment -
books have been paying out for three straight days due to favs winningComment -
I agree Chop , ever since qtr 3 &4 in game 1 the C's have stole momentum and probably the series edge back. Alston isnt the best pg but right now he's there best and I don't see Anthony Johnson leading this team to a win. C's guards are way better and Super man is exactly the take over game type of player. and if he dose it makes the others shoot the ball the second they get it , kuz they have to get theirs in. C's ml BIG tonight

Line is up to BOS +5. Are you guys saying one thing and betting another?Comment -
I took Boston +5. Boston vets will pull through. Rondo is too much for anthony johnson to cover and courtney lee has too much to worry about with ray allen and eddie house.Double Up. Hit em in the head.Comment -
If you need help, Maclife is your main man. BOLhello all, i am new to this, and really need a lot of help getting myself out the hole.

the lost of the team #1 PG is always big.Comment -
does anyone else think that Liu can slow down Rondo and effectively disrupt celtics offense? Does anyone else think the celtics moneyline is a setup?Comment -
Orlando ML

Thx rix

Mac4Lyfe...who do u like in the Houston/Laker game?Comment -
lets go celtics! Ml 2 units, +4.5 2 unitsComment -
CELTICS +5
Celticss +185Comment -
Be careful folks, I say alot of the same talk when Howard and Lee were out against 76ers! They're prepared to deal with this at home. I see the advantage to the home team getting the calls in the paint and Howard showing up big by putting the Celtics in foul trouble early.Comment -
I'm on C's, 1st quarter, 1st half, game and ML
I'm still not sure about Laker's/Houston, slight lean to Houston. I may go with LA 1st half, Houston 2nd half.Comment
