Will Magic be series fave against Celtics?

yisman · 05-02-09, 10:35 PM

I would have Orlando as a slight favorite.

I'm picking them.

SBR Lou · 05-02-09, 10:35 PM

Without a doubt. IMO they should be at least -150.

Brock Landers · 05-02-09, 10:37 PM

Boston went 7 games in the 1st round last year too...

seaborneq · 05-02-09, 10:41 PM

I can see it being a pickem.

Slim · 05-02-09, 10:43 PM

Orlando should be at least -200. Without Garnett the Celtics don't have much of a shot.

Unlikely it will be that high.

It's not going to be anything close to -200.

Who exactly is going to handle Dwight Howard?

Mac4Lyfe · 05-02-09, 10:57 PM

Orlando won't win this series. Boston owns them. Even though Boston kicked my ass in this series by not being able to cover spreads and unders they are going to beat Orlando in 5. Watch...

They will give Howard his 20-20 each night but it won't be enough. The key to beating the Magic is holding Hedo and Rashard in check.

I would agree that Orlando should win the series, but there is no way in hell that they'll be -200 favorites.

celts win series

payingthejuice · 05-03-09, 02:45 AM

I say the lines will be somewhere close to

Boston -125
Magic +110

I am also thinking this goes to a game 7 and looking to bet that prop, Magic win in 7 and Celts win in 7, gonna cover both angles for fun.

PsychoQ · 05-03-09, 03:01 AM

i could see this series over in 5 games, boston rolls here..

Orlando will almost certainly be favored.

hmm. i think that is exactly the reason why orl had a good chance to get over bos this series. davis is not agile enuf to cover lewis, esp lewis being taller and likes to play outside the paint.pierce will also have a hard time scoring and defending hedo like salmons. cause they score inside and outside

Chi_archie · 05-03-09, 10:33 AM

the old beat up, short bench celtics basically just got done playing almost 8 games of basketball, 7 intense games plus and extra 35 mins of OT periods.... I think they have a real hard time stopping Dwight Howard and Lewis down low without incurring alot of foul trouble and exposing their lack of depth right now.

The Bulls who are not deep at all, was able to stay in so many of those games because their bench killed boston's bench.

NBA Hero · 05-03-09, 10:49 AM

and vinny lacks the mental edge to use thomas. he can easily draw a few fouls immediately

lakerboy · 05-03-09, 11:30 AM

stan van gundy-nervous breakdown celts win

cockblocker · 05-03-09, 11:54 AM

Boston has home court and is the higher seed. Vegas has to make them the favorite.

LT Profits · 05-03-09, 12:23 PM

Orlando will be favored for the series, but nowhere near some of the odds in ths thread.

Orlando -135
Boston +115

No because that becomes irrelevant with Garnett out.

scoob40 · 05-03-09, 12:26 PM

Pinny:

Boston -124
Orlando +114

smitch124 · 05-03-09, 12:27 PM

At the Greek presently:

157 Orlando Magic +110
158 Boston Celtics -135

ORL is nothing without Jameer.

Ralphie1412 · 05-03-09, 12:31 PM

LT Profits · 05-03-09, 12:32 PM

Magic have been playing great defense for over a month now, Celtics lack of depth cathes up with them here.

Orlando in 6.

seaborneq · 05-03-09, 01:21 PM

I cannot take the Celtics at -125. Orlando +110 hear I come

seaborneq · 05-03-09, 01:23 PM

Wait until Boston loses the first game and then jump on them at +money.

they did it faster than the celtics.

seaborneq · 05-03-09, 02:26 PM

Carib has it -110 both sides. Get it while its hot.

Tsoprano · 05-03-09, 02:51 PM

Boston should be able to hold off the Magic

yisman · 05-03-09, 03:06 PM

Love those odds.

I've been saying all along Orlando in 6.

Unloaded on the Celtics at -110. Good luck everyone.

Boston is gone turn it up a notch against Orlando and take care of business. Even though they don't have KG they still have players that can step up like Rondo, Big Baby and Perkins. As for the first game I can't see the Celtics losing the first game in the series after losing the first game in the Chicago series. On a side note I think Houston might catch LA sleeping in game one and steal the win.
