What should the Celtics-Clippers line be?

Iwinyourmoney · 03-22-09, 08:14 PM

19.5

Don't forget, LAC beat BOS last time they played, so they will DESTROY LA once they play again!

I said that in the original post. I see a 40 point blowout coming. Crappy Toronto just beat the Clippers by 24.

If you were booking this game and you had to make your own line, what would it be?

Rich Boy · 03-22-09, 08:25 PM

I would have it at -16.5

i think thats spot on. it'll probably be a no play for me though

King_Bookie · 03-22-09, 08:34 PM

18 is a reasonable line... after all, Boston is arguably still in the regrouping process after all that injuries.

That's where I see it too. I'm actually feeling sorry for the Clippers tomorrow being on a back to back. I bet they were so happy to beat the Celtics on their home floor. I definitely remember because it was the Celtics (of all teams) that messed up my ML parlay. Tomorrow is a whole different ballgame.

itll be around 15 lol but deserves to be 22ish

Dexter · 03-22-09, 10:38 PM

i have it at -16.5

This game will definitely be in one of my 3 team/8 pt teasers. No way I can pass it up.

Remember the first round last year? The Celtics lost all 3 at the Hawks, they blew out the Hawks in every game in Boston. I remember people looking at the line for game 7, Celtics -13 I think. They were wondering how a line like that could exist for a game 7. Result: Celtics won by like 40. Same situation here! You can't call it a lock with such a huge spread because you never know who'll be playing in garbage time but this one is in the bag.

Right now I'm thinking Celts, Suns, and Hawks. Just waiting the lines.

Stay away from Clippers game. They are the most inconsistent bunch of underachievers in the NBA. This game will frustrate both sides, no doubt. The outcome won't be decided until the last few minutes. Guaranteed. Just say no to Clippers.

Nobody can hang with the Celtics in Boston when they're clicking and you're guaranteeing that the Clippers can? The Clippers could win the fourth quarter or even the second half but it won't matter if they're still down 30. Remember game 6 of the finals last year? I see this game going the same way.

Rich Boy · 03-22-09, 11:43 PM

Just bet the over

ryanspeer2001 · 03-22-09, 11:44 PM

I would say about 17-18.

Hey TSoprano if this line was -24.5 for the Celtics would you take it? lol

This is the Clippers... They are made to frustrate. They can hang with any team when they want to. They are very talented with potential All Stars at every position. They just have no concept of team. Don't let that convince you. We will revisit this tomorrow night and I wish you guys luck as I will lay off this one.
