PlayOffs Record 21W-13L-1P
A few of you have accused me of being a Laker homer (george is getting upset, robbie ) But that's not true at all!
Honestly I separate my betting from my heart as far as I can. I never let my emotions get in the way of what I'm about to wager.
Let me just state here for the record that when NBA season started, everyone, me included, expected the Celtics to be where they are now. They simply are a bloody brilliant outfit. You can't get better than them, and if you argue with that fact, then you're an idiot with all due respect. Let's just try and forget for a moment about how they got here, past the useless Hawks, or the Cavs and their up n down games against the Pistons. But if you look back in the beginning of the season, that's the real Boston Celtics.
Whereas the Lakers... Well no one (perhaps a few die hard fans) expected them to get where they are today. No one thought the Lakers would do well this season, AT ALL! Here in Australia you could get em at 61/1 at one point. Imagine you'd invested a grand back then..you'd be 61 grand richer by the end of game 7 (there goes the Laker homer again I hear you say) Nah but really, the Lakers are the surprise package here and not Boston.
But let's get to the point i.e. What does game 4 hold for us as far as our money is concerned?
Some books opened the lakers -11.5!!! Most have adjusted back down to 7 now. Great as Boston are, I believe they'll lose tomorrow and they will not cover the spread either. Lakers are tough at home, we all agree on that hopefully. Just to add to that, Boston have been attrocious on the rd! Rondo may or may not be available but he's not 100% whatever the case. Lakers are playing tough defence too, especially at home. Such factors and the line where it's set and how it's been moving point strongly toward one play only
LAKERS -7.5 is my 5Unit bet for tomorrow!
Best of luck everyone and hope we hit
Cheers
