Total is climbing

Interesting TT development as well -- Celtics are now at 93.5 (up from 91.5 originally), while the Lakers under 99.5 is juiced at -125 despite the 2.5 point increase in the game total.

I think he meant theres no value on the under when it dropped down to 191 ish.

I did, and missed it by .5 points. It was actually a push play if you waited for the final number (or even a win -- I think it hit 190.5 at certain places).

I'm leaning under for this one, but any time a line moves 2.5 points in a matter of hours on game day, it gets my attention.

2nd half of game 1 had 100 points so maybe people expect over since game 1 went under do to rust factor low scoring first half.

Still, i think just about everything went in favor of the "over" bettors game 1 and still the game didnt go over.

All the foul shots in the 3rd, all the put back points by the Lakers, the meaningless Kobe 3 in closing seconds. Still game 1 went under.

I like Celtics + 6

That's why I was leaning under. Game 1 was a fluke for a lot of reasons -- under was the winning bet.

Still, the Celts looked like garbage offensively and there were no fouls/FT's at the end. Those could both change significantly tonight.
