If there is going to be a game this might be it, look for Lakers to give a strong effort tonight.

i agree jj, lakers will win this game by 8 or more, than lose in game 5Comment -
kg and pierce not going 8 for 35 again, so no, i don't think they'll pound boston,Comment -
yea, celtics barely lost the first game and all their stars didnt really do anything except ray allen.Comment -
All I can say is, and I know Onlooker would agree wholeheartedly, KING Kobe won't be denied this evening.

Yea if even 1 of them do double as good, they could win in this game, both wont do a long period "Ray Allen" in the finals.
And RAY'ss BACKK!!Comment -
The Lakers barely beat the Spurs in game 1 then they did this:
Spurs 71, Lakers 101
The thing is, Fisher always seems to play well when I bet against the Lakers and he always seem to play poorly when bet on the Lakers.
Will Odom come to life?
Bottom line, I think the 2-8 on the road Celtics blew their golden opportunity in game 3 and they likely won't have such a great shot to win another in LA.Comment -
i like the trend that has developed in this series, i teased the Celts and the under for 5 points. Boston's D is giving them fits.Comment -
Definitely did, but Celtics would never play as horrible as the Spurs did in that game. Have way too much heart. The Spurs are the Western version of the Pistons.Originally posted by fearlessThe Lakers barely beat the Spurs in game 1 then they did this:

here's my take : Boston could very well win gm 4 , if they do , gm 5 is a lock for LALComment -
if boston wins either game 4 or 5, and goes back to boston up 3-2, this series is OVAHOriginally posted by Francis SollozzoComment -
Yup, celtics are in a very relaxed position, but can't take it for granted and need to win 1 of the LA games this week. Maybe both...Originally posted by hoopster42

No, I think the Celtics are the only playable side with those points. Boston played terrible in Game 3, yet they still only lost by 6 and covered, I see absolutely no reason why that can't win outright tonight, and I do think they will win one of the next two.
And as I keep stressing, this is coming from someone that picked the Lakers in 5 before the series. The C's have already proven to me that they are the much better team.Comment -
If you are playing the MoneyLine right now it's the Celts. The Lakers still in play for the side.Comment -
So is the consensus here that Celts series is a sharp play at the best odds one can find?Comment -
Can you really come to this conclusion after only three games?Originally posted by LT ProfitsComment -
Well 5 games including 2 season ass whoopings. And yes you can, they didnt play hard AT ALLLL in game 3 and lost by a couple baskets, with their stars not scoring shit. So yes, they obviously are the best team out of the 2. And they are actually a team, not a bunch of guys that are arguing for the ball.Originally posted by rjt721Comment -
After ONLY 3 games? uhh ya.Originally posted by rjt721Comment -
I'll wait till picoman posts his pick again. He is lurking at EOG to pick Danzing's multi thousand dollar pick.

JJ, once again if LAL wins they dont cover son.Comment -
You're really going to bring up the 2 regular season meetings? Wow. You do realize those games came within the first 2 months of the season, well before the Lakers acquired Gasol? Both games are completely meaningless when judging LAL and Boston as they're presently constituted.Originally posted by Tsoprano
The Lakers have a slightly better than 59% chance of winning the next two at home, giving them a 3-2 edge going back to Boston. Yeah, the Celtics are obviously the best team.
Comment -
I think people are too high on Boston but they'll still probably get it done. If Lakers had Bynum, this would be a totally different story. But to act as if Boston is lightyears better than them etc, is just simply misinformed.Comment -
Only difference is Gasol on the Lakers, rest of the team still got ****ed up. Gasol only scored a couple points last night, not a big factor at all. Either way though, 3 finals games is surely enough to make an educated assumption about the better of 2 teams.Originally posted by rjt721You're really going to bring up the 2 regular season meetings?

you really need to stop bringing up bynum! if the spurs had a healthy manu all series, they might have beaten the lakers. pierce is playing at 80% and now rondo is hobbled!Originally posted by crazyl
if the lakers had bynum, they would likely be up 2-1 right now, but they don't have him,
if the rockets had a healthy Yao, they mightve beaten utah and then the lakers, who knows, you play with what youve gotComment -
stern will make sure this series doesn't even make it to game 6, trying to brush off all the fixed series theories and then they'll resume the corruptness 2009 once the public forgets or doesn't care next year. a decade ago i heard that the networks only breakeven when there's a sweep. gotta pay those fukkin producaers and pasteurues. celtix SU hereComment -
Yeah that's true, Rondo tweaked his ankle, Perkins has a high ankle sprain, Pierce may have began to show the effects of his injury, presuming he'd have that extra kick in him at home though.Originally posted by hoopster42
Are the C's healthy enough to get it done?Comment -
LA wins 2night ... doesnt cover
Boston takes the series 3-2 back Home ... end of storyComment -
The Lakers are 35-9 (including playoffs) with Gasol in the lineup and have best point differential in the league during that span. Yes, he's clearly not a factor.Originally posted by Tsoprano
Good point. The 76ers were up 2-1 over the Pistons in the first round, and Philly was clearly the better team in that series.Originally posted by Tsoprano

one game really has nothing to do withthe next game/too many people involved for it..
really it isn't and the games bos won were in bos where they were supposed to win . but if we look at those games and say they are signs of what will occur in the rest of the games in the series > then lets not forget the big run the lakers went on in the 4th q in bos . if you look at that AMAZING 4TH Q RUN IN GAME 2 IN BOS alone then what would that tell you ?Originally posted by Tsoprano
it would tell me that if bos does have a lead at home that it is not even close to being a safe lead for bos backers .
what has occured so far in 3 games ? bos won the 2 games they were supposed to , refs took kobe out of the game early to secure something good for bos .
here i am watching that game in bos and am seeing the laker subs playing and getting killed. lol laker subs never scored a pt did they . well , as soon as the starting 5 was back out there for la , the score was close again ...
seriously , the 3 games so far are no sign whatsoever of anything in what will occur the rest of the series .
the way bos won the first 2 games IN BOSTON was unique in their own right . they were given some advantages all throughout the game and on top of that were shooting well and playing well (like they were supposed to , nothing more)
as soon as game 3 in la started all the fouls were being called on the celtics .. well damn . what makes anyone think all the fouls will not be being called on bos again in game 2 IN LOSANGELES on thurs night ? lol 10 times !
game 2 in la is no different than game 2 in bos , they are parrallel . with the exception that la will not let bos go on a 10,000 - 1 run in the 4th q . LoOoOoOoOoOoOoOOoooOL ! 10 TIMES !Comment -
really too close to call for meComment -
Nobody said Philly was the better team in that series, just playing better. 2 totally different scenarios. Youll see, and yes after 3 games you can make ****ing assumptions up the wazzooo about both teams.Originally posted by rjt721The Lakers are 35-9 (including playoffs) with Gasol in the lineup and have best point differential in the league during that span.
