Love Magic and Lakers tomorrow
Right now Magic are at +4 and Lakers are around -9.5. I think these are both great lines. The line is certainly moving in the wrong direction for the magic game, they won the first game controlling it for almost the whole way out. The celtics are a tired, injured, and weaker opponent. Be it through just determination and push tomorrow they may get the win, but if they do it won't be by 5+. They will win a tight game. Anywhere between 1-3 pts. Giving Orlando this many points is basically free money. They are downright the better and healthier team. For the Lakers, they are gonna have a good rebound tomorrow. For the first game the betting percentages were about 60-40 in favor of the Lakers. Now suddently for game 2 the pecentages have floped to around 52-48 in favor of the Rockets. However, Yao Ming will be playing injured tomorrow without a doubt. He took some hard hits in the first game and basically just gutted it out the rest of the way after he injured his knee. With a day in between now his knee has gotten plenty of time to swell and tighten. He will not be an effect in the game tomorrow. With this game being basically a must win for the Lakers, factored in with the Yao injury and the fact that Artest will not shoot 2 games in a row lights out, the lakers take this convincingly by 13+. Gonna hit this one hard fellas. LETS GO!

Good Luck ADLC!Comment -
Lakers might but I do not know about covering. Houston are good and very good on DComment -
good picks. game 2 and 3 are the statement games where teams that want to win the series shows upComment -
Excellent write up anthonydiamonds. Those are my leans as well!Comment -
How do you know Yao Ming is injured? He came back from the knee-to-knee contact with Kobe Bryant and looked fine to me. 9.5 is a large number for the Lakers to cover, especially the way they played in game one. Rockets defense is very underrated here.Comment -
Yao cameback in the game because he kept moving around and kept the knee mobile. I do not have any concrete information that Yao will be ineffective, however I have been watching games for a long time and from what I've seen I do not expect him to be as productive as he was in game 1. Also you have to let the matchups set in for this series. Lamar Odom and Gasol present matchup problems for Houston. You also have to expect Kobe will be a lot better then in game 1. Lastly go check out the result of game 3 last series the lakers had at Utah when they shot poorly and played a bad game. Game 4 they came out and owned after making adjustments. This was on the road. Now there in a similiar scenario at HOME. Lakers tonight!Originally posted by LincolnSEComment -
Hey anthonydiamonds. The PC's and both of the challenge teams are on the over in Boston/Orlando tonight. May want to investigate the play a little further for yourself, but it looks like a sharp playComment -
Yeah CK, I'll get on it.Comment -
haha i teased:
lal -10
orlando +4,5
and bos/orl over 189(thanks for ck, i hope i will can say it tomorrow)
anthony, i feel safier, the same thoughts with celtic-orlando game, orlando just can't give so many points, celts without kg can't win the series with orl.
houston is so happy for the result of last game, although i'm not so confident about this game, often when big star isn't playing, reserve player have biggg motivation (egzample gortat against philadelphia)Comment -
I hear what your saying AD, I certainly know the trend of teams bouncing back from horrible losses in the playoffs. I'm gonna lay off this game today.Comment -
gl manComment -
I have Orlando to win series, but I like Boston -4 tonight. Magic already did what they have to do, and I would not be surporied if the home teams win the rest of the games this series.Comment -
I'm on the other side in both of these games. BOL though.Comment
