Tonight reminds me of all the other Celtic game 1s so far

**lakerboy** · 06-03-10, 02:38 PM

Only difference is that none of those games were at staples.

**Ralphie1412** · 06-03-10, 02:44 PM

Please.....lets not act like this is the old madhouse on madison. The staples center is winnable in. The celtics are a veteran team.

I find it funny lakers fans who think they just have the most hardcore fanbase and its loud as hell and this and that and they are god gift to earth.....yet a few seasons ago they had a 40 win season and kobe wanted to leave.

The lakers are completely beatable. Defense is pathetic.

**Goat Milk** · 06-03-10, 02:47 PM

Celtics offense is a joke

**bigsmitty** · 06-03-10, 02:51 PM

I think the Lakers likely take it, especially at home. Considering so many find it such a close game makes me think it very well may be a 2 pt win-hopefully since I wagered a win under 5 pts either side for a 250 line. Cheers

Any building is winnable. The bulls lost home games in the playoffs when they were good . Whya re you cheering for Boston since your a Bulls fan?

**Ralphie1412** · 06-03-10, 02:51 PM

No it really isnt. Especially if Nate Robinson and Tony Allen continue to produce. Perkins and Garnett matchup very well with Gasol and Bynum. Bynum is the most overrated player in the NBA period.

I have never been a celtics fan, but i LOVE ray allen and KG and when they came there I started following them like most. They play defense, out west they do not.

The lakers defense against the suns was pathetic.

But to answer your question, if the celtics can snatch 2 rings from kobe in 3 years it will finally put to rest the UNBELIEVEABLE STUPID comparisons to Michael Jordan.

The celtics are going to take back what is rightfully theirs. If KG wasnt hurt it would be 3 peat time.

I remember when Boston covered as a big dog for me in Game 1 vs. Cleveland. That was awesome.

**Ralphie1412** · 06-03-10, 02:56 PM

Kobe Bryant came to play this year. No doubt about that.

The Lakers just dont exude UNSTOPPABLE.

I might buy 3 points and take celtics +9 -170

They don't?

They took care of the Thunder in 6, who were arguably playing the best ball in the West these playoffs outside of Utah and Phoenix -- the other two teams the Lakers dispatched. Utah was no match, and the Suns were coming off a series where they totally dominated the Spurs and their championship pedigree.

Boston's been playing well, undoubtedly, but I honestly feel like people taking Boston at +5.5 tonight are overanalyzing the situation. Now a Game 2 cover with a little sprinkled on the ML wouldn't be too far fetched IMHO.

to say they "took care of the thunder in 6" is really blurring the lines arent we? It was the 8 seed ran by a rookie. Michael and Scottie would have murdered them. They lost 2 in a row on the road to an 8 seed and thats taking care of them? Ok........the jazz were banged up, I still feel robbed we didnt get denver LA so they got lucky again there. Then the suns yet very improved are still bad on D. Amare cant guard for shit. What did the "dominant" lakers give up a game? 100 points?

**Goat Milk** · 06-03-10, 03:41 PM

**Ralphie1412** · 06-03-10, 03:42 PM

I question anyone who thinks the Lakers look like world beaters.

**yahoonino** · 06-03-10, 03:52 PM

boston 99 lakers 91,,,,,,thank me later

**og4667** · 06-03-10, 04:26 PM

this thread is just dumb, but when the Lakers do win and cover tonight I will be back here to rub it in. If your so confident in the Celtics why are you buying so many points?

**JohnnyD4916** · 06-03-10, 04:47 PM

We don't have to wait much longer Game 1 TONIGHT Good Luck with your bets!!
