Celtics/Lakers Under 187 W
Starting to think the linesmakers had this total too high. They can’t over-react now though. These games have been going under the total and is there any reason to expect it not to this time around? Game 7, all the marbles = plenty of defensive intensity. The loss of Perkins hurts and we could see more fouls, but we’ll still roll the dice with the under.

Celtics +6.5 @ Lakers L
Since the middle of the Cavs series we have rode the Celtics. There is no reason to stop now, as they are still the toughest team in the NBA. The Lakers should win this game since they NEED to and return home after two straight losses. However, the Celtics cannot afford to give this game to LA and put themselves in a high pressure Game 7. The Celtics are one of the better road teams in the league. Conventional wisdom says the lakers need this game more. We say they both need it equally and will gladly grab 6+ points.

Celtics/Lakers Over 187.5 L
Tough game to handicap here. This game is HUGE for the Celtics because they cannot win 2 in L.A. Therefore, we are tempted to take the Celts -3, but Kobe and the gang are too good and will be seeking revenge. Instead, we’ll take the over with great value. The last couple have gone under, and we have seen some real sloppy play. Missed layups, bad shot selection, bad passes, the list goes on. The Celtics have yet to have more than 1 person have a solid offensive outing, yet the totals have come just under. We feel this may be the game where both teams click offensively.

Celtics -3.5 vs. Lakers W
The Celtics come to play when they need to. This is a must win, and I just can’t see them losing 2 in a row at home.

Celtics/Lakers Under 192.5 W
Will we get the Game 3 Celtics versus the Cavs or Magic? WHo the hell knows with this mystery team. What we do know is all but 2 of their home playoff games have gone under the total or pushed (1). Doc knows his team must play defense to beat the Lakers so again we should see good intensity. The refs may screw this up with a billion ridiculous foul call.

Celtics +6 @ Lakers W
Here we go again. The Celtics were out hustled on Thursday; it was very strange. They laid a stinker like this against Orlando and Cleveland as well. This should wake them up because the Lakers are much tougher than they were in 2008. I think the C’s got cocky. KG played terrible and Pau Gasol made the mistake of telling the media KG lost a step and is now just a jumpshooter. KG mad. Celtics mad. This should be a tight one.

Celtics +5.5 @ Lakers L
Classic battle between offense versus defense. We think the Celtics win it all and have a good shot at taking Game 1. The Celtics have been the most physical team in the playoffs. The Lakers let the Suns burn them for over 100 a game. Lakers are playing for revenge here, but that won’t be enough. Lakers have not played a good defensive squad since the Thunder. This one could shock them
