Game 3 - 4 - 5

[SIMON]

Here's what I'm gonna do.

I believe the road team will one of the 3 games in LA. Reason being...since the 2-3-2 format was installed the home team has won all 3 games only once. And, correct me if I'm wrong but that was the Miami/Dallas series two years ago.
So one time in 20 years it has happened ?

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.......

Lakers Money lline tonight...Even though I think they crush them like a soda can tonight but afraid of the "extensive garbage time" and a backdoor cover. Laying $ 1200 to win $200

THEN

WITH the chalk at +550 on the Celtics

I will take $400 on Game 5 Money Line +550 Celtics to win $2200

and if they lose...I will press it again $ 400 on ML Game 5 ML +550 to win $2200

So with a win, I either bank $2200 or $ 1800
or lose -$800 with both games

If I win game 4 - then I play the Lakers minus the chalk in 5 thinking the Celts will tank a game and win it at home in 6.

GOT IT ???

Feedback ????

Also, this hinges on the Lakers winning tonight.

But I like the Home team here because in the 14 playoff series the Game 3 winner was the Visitor only 3 times !!!!!!!

LA vs Denver
SA vs Phoenix
Boston vs Detroit

So the home team has won game three 11 of 14 times ?

Re-enforcing the LAKERS MONEY LINE TONIGHT

Finally - If the Lakers win tonight that puts me at +200

I will be wagering $800 over the next two games - but only 600 of my own cash.

I either win 2400 / 2000 or lose 600 NET

I like those odds.

Good luck.
I think the Lakers win maybe even roll(but I am wrong plenty of times) tonite,but putting $1200 to win $200 on a team that is 0-2 is risky in my opinion.
You are going to kick yourself if Boston wins tonite then loses the next two.

Detroit beat the Lakers in Games 3,4,and 5 for the titla in 2004...........so it has happened twice, I believe

 

[TouchdownJesus]

I think Lakers win the next 4. They played like crap in 4th qtr of Game 1. They got hosed and should have easily won Game 2 and didn't even play that good. They are the better team and its so funny/sad to hear all these guys on espn saying how "everyone was wrong".

Stern got his long series. It may go 7, but Lakers will win it.

 

[kegray1]

Not sure where you got your stats from.
Mav is right Detroit in 2004.
Lakers won home game 3,4,5, vs Phi in 2001.

my thoughts are the Lakers have not beaten Boston this year--with or without Gasol...

they are outplaying the Lakers and their physical style of play is not what the Western Confrence teams are used to.

Pierce is a man possesed and playing like it...

what is most puzzling to me is that the Celts are up 2-0 and still only -142 for the series at Pinny wich tells me that someone knows something I don't and that the possibility of the LAL winning the next 3 games is not out of the realm of possible...

however I don't think the Celts can be beat 3 times in a row...their D-fense is too good.

The Lakers may win tonight, but everyone thinks they WILL win tonight and Vegas doesn't build big hotels because they give away free money...

IMO the Celts stay within the 9.5 (bought it to 10) and very well can win this game and are worth the shot at +450 more than the LAL are -560 (not sure where you are getting the C's +550 anywhere)...

good luck whatever you do..

Winner on the money line last nite.
I think the risk was worth it because I didn't watch the game....LOL

Will hit the ML on the Celtics in Game 4

Lakers/Philly final...The road team won 3-4-5. Not the home team.

If I recall, Iverson had a great game one and Philly won in OT. That game was in LA. Then they lost the next four in a row.

Again, my statement was that the HOME team has only won games 3-4-5 once in the NBA Finals.

Detroit won 3-4-5 in LA (2004)

LA won 3-4-5 in Philly (2001)

Only Miami won 3-4-5 at home two years ago.

Where did you get your stats ???

So, ML Celtics in game 4...if they lose...then Double Down ML game 5

Made sense so I went with it. Thanks and good call.:00hour

As usual, the home team failed to win all 3 games.

Had the Celtics +330

Game 5 is the tank game.

I remember the one year the Lakers beat the Pacers in the finals in game 4. The whole team took game 5 off and they lost by 30. Then in Game 6 in LA kicked the shit out of them

Same thing happens here.

Lakers and the over.
I don't care what the spread is....

No defense in the game.

HEAVY OVER PLAY HERE.

You were right about LA/Phi. My bad, but LA/DET was in Detroit and they won all 3 home games:

Either way.Great job on the play.
