Opened up at -3 at Pinny as I had expected...up to -3.5 now but should drop back down to -3 or -2.5 within the next 15 hours.

Disagree. I think it's only going up and will settle at 4/4.5.

Celts -2.5 would be an early Christmas gift IMO.

I just think the public will be all over the Lakers since they have "momentum" and will be trying to tie the series up...the Kobe factor.

lakers were - 9 and 9.5 at home in game 3 and then - 7 and 7.5 in game 4
celtics line should come out a tricky -6.5 for game 6 if it was a true line .
of course it wont because it will be some bs line that wont ever come close to coming into play in the actual final score .
celts -4
celts were small favs at home when the series opened because of what ?
most people thought la was better ...
now what ?

It's -4 for Boston as of now. with 193.5 total points. i still think lakers can pull one hell of a victory out of their asses. and set up one cool game 7. still got lakers in 7.

saawwweatt ! i am still shellshocked .. what team has ever gone 0 - 5 ats in the nba finals and were still alive to play in game 6 ? seems absurd really . totaly against and outside of every realm of probability . ats is a mf ! to think you have to shave off pts in these games just to stay on the plus side is pretty weak to say the least ...
la to force game 7 ? omg
this occurence would be fitting to all that has occured thus far in all 5 games ... really though it seems bos is a stronger unit than la from top to bottom , but that is just a true take if all was on the up and up in the first 5 games (WHICH IT WASN'T ) so is hard to access any true conclusion when there is shi! in the game ... for me anyway , not for people that have been on bos . lol
another look > if everything that has occured in the first 5 games (for the most part) has been set up >>> then oooh yeah the play would be on the lakers . problem with that take is that the leauge is under extra scrutiny watching to make sure refs are on the up and up ... soooooooooo , that would mean bos would simply close out the series in game 6 in bos ... lol
who goes 0 - 5 ats in an nba finals ? damn , imagine 0 - 6 , that is a serious improbabilty and to think only one more game to make it 0 - 6 .
this ranks in my top 10 most unlikely results in sports history , but only if they go to 0 -6 , what has occured in the first 5 games is top 20 .
we are talking about the lakers that seemed to be on their way to a title before the playoffs began ...
now they are 0 - 5 ats in the finals .
i could make comparisons to other teams in other sports but i wont .
surprise surprise surprise surprise surprise has not been on my side with these ...

given the usual -3 for home court advantage, I will have to say it should be bumped up to -4/-5 for playoff finals. Plus I Celtics have shown that they are the better team so far, putting the true line at -5 to -6.5. The line right now is -4, and I had to jump on it since I don't see the Lakers winning this game.

Celtics -4.5.
There won't be as much Laker money as the first two games in Boston now that the Celtics have established that they are definitely the better team.

Why? I see absolutely no reason for the Lakers to get as much money as the first two games. This line should settle at around -4.5

What is wrong with the celts line...I thought for sure that Lakers would be 200+ dogs...the line opens up and lakers go down while Boston goes down? What the hell is going on here?

I think I am in denial but I am still hoping for Lakers to make a miracle happen and still win this thing.

Celtics are getting no repsect and I dont get it. They have covered every game. They are a lot better than the Lakers, and LA gets a -9.5 in game 3? Celts get a -4? I should put $10000 down on them!!

Just saw on the ticker that the Celtics flight home was cancelled last night due to mechanical problems.
