1-1 finals game 1
77-61-2 playoffs
Lean:
OVER 202A pinch of several days rest rust & a cup of some finals jitters, stir thoroughly & serve - mmmmm Tastes like UNDER.
Orlando only shot 29.9% from the field & 34.8% from the arc. Now that they have been exposed to a finals game atmosphere the jitters may be minimal and some rust may have been brushed off and squeeks oiled and lubricated. Orlando made some nice drives in the paint and also had many open looks but could not finish i think that may be due to the jitters and rust and the same drives may sink more in game 2. After adjustments made by Orlando after the blow out they should shoot better than 29.9% and score higher than 75 points.
LA shot 46.1%, the way Kobe looks like he hasn't eaten in months i think he and his crew may continue to shoot well as the several days rust may be behind them also. Kobe put on a clinic and did what he pleased on the Magicians, we all know nobody is stopping him and will continue his onslaught.
Furthermore Phil Jack took the foot of the gas for pretty much the most of the 4th Q and if Magic stay in this game LA will play to the wire and the total will be pushed much higher than it was in game 1.
Moreover both squads scored an average above 100 pts in reg season and La scored exactly 100 in game 1. I think LA may score over 100.
Also leaning:
ORL plus the pts based mainly on this line which has not moves spite of heavy LA backing. It actualy just dropped by a hook at my book LA -6
