    Sometimes books make mistakes.

    Saying the Celtics have "zero chance" is really dumb.
    I think that pretty much sums things up..I don't think this series is over like the ESPN crowd seems to think but it won't be easy and i think this goes 7 but I would favor the Celtics here to win in 7..

    I get your take laker, books like Philly, but books do get it wrong. They were wrong with the original series price. They were wrong with the first two games. Philly should win the next two, but can they steal one in Boston. The game they need to steal is game 5 because I don't see a young team going into TD Garden and winning a game 7.

    But you are right, this is the time to hit Sixers in the series, at worst you can hedge once it is all tied up. The question is, can either Philly or Boston take out the Cavs the next round? Both would have home court. Philly is better, but Boston has multiple guys who can guard LeBron.

    Books lose also. Books must’ve been drunk giving out +200+ to Lebron against the raptors.

    That game was indicative of why Philly has no shot of winning a game in Boston. They were playing their best basketball, hitting all their threes, up 20+ and they still lost! And it only took a few minutes once that awesome home crowd gave them some adrenaline.

    The Celtics are not going to spot them a 20pt lead again in Boston. Whether it goes seven or not, Boston is winning this series.

    Philly obvious have a way better % to comeback - they need to protect home court - to say Toronto have any chance is dumb !! They already drop 2 home Games

    Wish I could be so confident. Think they can win in Boston, that 3 minute spurt seemed more kind of lucky and getting some help from Philly to me. Philly should have slowed it down some, they kept their pace, also they didnt even call not 1 timeout in that 15-16 pt barrage. Thats bad coaching it seems.

    Celtics can dig the dagger and you knows they want it.
    Max power - Stevens has the plan to beat Philly
    looking at this +400's ML - should not be a penny over 295
    Embiid can't seeeeee - blind as a bat.

    I tend to agree with you BG.. Philly will have the crowd and juice at home to win the next game I think also.. Who knows though for sure??? This Philly team really can't be trusted right now..

    Stop being stubborn, that series is over. Raptors blew it. You don't come back from 0-2 after losing your first two games at home. Books can't really set the line any higher for game 3 than what it is at now. Sad part about Toronto is that probably any team in the playoffs could have won at least one game against Cleveland, Raps might get swept.

    injured C's team vs young turnover prone Sixers team ... NBA don't care how long this series goes or who wins

    Laker i like you but you have been way off on both of the eastern conference series. I get you ride with the books, but books have gotten schooled on both. We could have two sweeps.

    wouldn't doubt it with the things I've seen that Sixers team do

    good spot to bet them game 4 tho... C's will be ok with going home for a rawkus game 5 but hell, they could sweep em if Philly does the dumb stuff again and give the C's life and let them stay in the game till the end
