Leans for the NBA Finals

Game 1 : OM+6@LAL 206
Pick : LAL-6; 206 OVER

The triangle offense should win over Orlando's inside outside game. Phil Jackson and Kobe draw first blood in Game 1.

Too much offensive firepower for both teams. Both clubs score at will in Game 1. BOL to one and all.

[Jerry Seinfeld]

GL on the over with you.

[EastsidaProduct]

I think the under is the most obvious play here, IMO.

[BCaldwell32]

Orlando is the better team, the Lakers are gonna strggle to stop Howard and it should open up the 3 point shooting where Orlando clearly has the edge.

Orlando in 7

The Lakers know the importance of homecourt in the finals. They won't lift that foot off the gas pedal. Sure Orlando will make their adjustments but PJax will be a step ahead of SVG here. He is just 3 games away from surpassing Red. Lakers protect home and cover in Game 2.

After further analysis, I realized that the Lakers are an underrated defensive team. I'm calling the under instead in this game. PJax still outcoaches SVG.

Orlando will be making adjustments offensively after their output today. Kobe and the Lakers remain hot. Both teams light it up in Game 2.

i will tell you one thing bro if it goes over the totals the lakers wont cover the spread- i say you take orl and the over

pick: lal+4; 199 under

The line implies that Orlando will win this game SU. I'm going the other way. The Magic shot very well from downtown in Game 2 but still ended up with a loss. The Lakers push the Magic in the brink of elimination in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

Defense will be tighter with every passing game. The under will be my play.

[cocknocker]

Would be good to tease the Lakers with your under too. Then you get the Lakers+8 and the under set at 203

rashard lewis is a beast

[pho3nix32]

that foul by kobe with 0.5 sec remaining was priceless

[HoulihansTX]

rashard lewis is a beast

That guy hasnt missed a shot in crunch time this whole playoffs. Thats what $118 million buys you in the NBA I guess.

pick: lal+2.5; 201 over

I'm sticking with my series prediction of Lakers in 5 here. Kobe played really bad in Game 3, missing all those freethrows. I look for him to come back with a vengeance. Lakers win Game 4.

The over has been 4-1 in games played in Orlando for both clubs. I'm riding this trend my friends.

[NBA Hero]

cmon phoe. lets get win number 3.

im really pissed off the way kobe played. its a shame coz gasol, farmar shot well. odom is still stellar.

well, im hundred of miles away from kobe so what does he care. LoL

i, no that should be WE, we will be surprised if this becomes a tie

GL, pho3nix. Kobe should come out more aggressive and he'll definitely have that "look" on his face tonight.

[captmatt]

I think the game is over as well. I think they are going to both come out fighting hard and scoring. Go Magic!

Fish not only broke the backs of the Magic in Game 4 but also IMO broke the spirit of the Magic in the NBA Finals. Kobe will win tomorrow his first title without Shaq. PhilJax will surpass Red tomorrow as well. The Lakers end Orlando's magical playoff ride tomorrow my friends.

Nerves should be running all over the place in tomorrow's very crucial game. With my reasoning in mind, I believe that both clubs won't be shooting at a very high % and will get a bit sloppy as well. It's either that or LA routs the Magic in a low scoring ballgame.

seeing that CK played Heavy on the over. i'm cancelling my o/u play. i'm still a student of capping games. i have too much respect for his heavy plays. i'm tailing him in fact.

[pho3nix32]

congratulations to the lakers!!! i end the nba season with 0.500, i had a good regular season and then just went downhill in the playoffs. i will come back better in the nba next season. now to focus on the women's league thanks for everybody's support
