Pick: 3 unit(s) ATS: Boston Celtics +9.5 (-110) (Normal)
When I saw the spread for the game tonight I thought it had to be a joke. What have we seen from these two teams in the playoffs or regular season that justifies a spread this high for the Lakers? The comeback the other night? Come on, the Celts were up by over 3 touchdowns and got a little complacent. But they were up by 3 touchdowns! The Lakers don't have an answer for the ball movement of the Celtics. When the Celts swing the ball around the perimeter the Lakers just can't keep up with it and the Celts either end up with an open jumper or an open drive to the basket. The Celtics play great defense and even if the Lakers manage to get the win on their home court tonight which I am doubtful about, the Celtics should be able to keep it within this big number.
