Honestly, you might as well just flip a coin. Celtics had no business covering tonight. All they did was shoot 28 more free throws. You can't cap that, period.

Close your eyes and throw a dart. Doesn't matter, you can do all the research you want. Impossible to cap. I'd say take Boston +9, but that will give you exactly 50% chance of winning.

How about a Lakers ML -500? This has happened the entire NBA playoffs. The losing road team comes home and wins the first home game.

The lakers are favored by 9 points because of boston's woes on the road. have you watched the playoffs? Boston i believe is 2-7 on the road. La is pretty stellar at home so that's where the number comes from. I agree its a huge number based on the last 2 games and boston is no slouch. vegas is trying to make people pay a lot of juice to take lakers ml because they should win game 3.

Welcome to the WWE, in LA, if one even breaths on Kobe it will be a foul. It has to be that way, they certainly favored Boston in Boston and it is only fair for LA in LA. Vince McMahon says LA wins all 3 in LA.

Where did those victories come?? People got KILLED with Atlanta betting BOSTON to win on the road, then got HAMMERED with Cleveland betting Boston to win on the road, then got HAMMERED betting Boston to lose on the road......now the saga continues!!! Do they have us all fooled are we going to go with the pattern or do we make logical choices and bet the smart plays? LA WILL NOT WIN 3 GAMES IN A ROW IN LA!!!! They havent won 1 all year vs Boston yet!!! To win 3 in a row will be awfully difficult, unless Kareem shows up to help Gasol, Odom, and Walton rebound and play defense. Listen to the Lakers interviews filled with nothing but finger pointing and excuses, toughen up FAKERS it the same old song!! The TRUTH is what they need to find an answer for....when he attacks the rim, it makes it difficult for them....Kobe cant afford to try and lock him up ALL GAME thus the burden falls upon others, and its just not there for them. I do believe they make this series interesting, but team defense and defense in general wins, period----ask the Mavs, and Suns how the outscore everyone game plays out year after year. When Bynum returns WITH GASOL Lakers instantly become favorites (in my eyes to win it all) but no one I mean NO ONE(except Turiaf) has the mentallity to play defense or get physical on that frontline. BOL in the remaining games
