An article written by JR Valdez, blog.gamblerspalace.com: 2008 NBA Finals: Lakers vs Celtics Betting Odds
The 2008 NBA Finals in a nostalgic matchup that takes up back to the 80’s an era of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird what some would say is the most storied rivarly in professional sports.  Now instead of Magic and Bird we have Kobe and Pierce or Kobe and Garnett or maybe even Kobe and Allen. Regardless, we have a great matchup that many pundits, bloggers, self professed handicappers, and basically anyone in any kind of media outlet suggesting that this series would be over in 5 games in LA.  I was the only guy I knew saying the Celtics in 7. I know, I know its easy to say now that they are up 2-0, but I have been busy and am now just getting to my monthly Laker Hating, very slackass on my part and I apologize. So lets get on with it shall we:
Game 1: Celtics 98 - Lakers 88  Both teams kept it tight and the met all expectiations providing for a high energy, emotional opening to the 2008 finals and preview of what we can expect for the rest of series.  When Paul Pierce went out with hurt knee and they had to carry him off the court there was a slight tremor that went off around the world and I will tell you the cause, that was the collective force of everyone around the globe tightening their sphincters at the exact same time. LOL…… And then in the second half a strong wind spurred the globe to move out of alignment with his triumfate return and the subsequent exhale of all those who had tightened up earlier.  Pierce played brillantly and without him I don’t think they can get it done.
Game 2: Celtics 108 - Lakers 102 Game 2 has been clounded with whining from Lakers fans about the disparity of free throws granted, I mean if Kobe and Odom would have focused more on scoring rather than crying to the refs then perhaps they would have capped off the return from a 24 point deficit and won, but rather than play they did what all Laker fans do, cry cry cry….  I have to admit, I thought the Celtics were going to piss it down their legs after giving up that huge lead and it seemed like the clock couldn’t run down fast enough for them.  This concerns me because they really needed to crush the Lakers before a flight across the country and 3 games at the Staples Center.   Now it looks like we may be heading back to Boston with a 3-2 deficit, unless…… The Triumverate  that is Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen can come together and collectively will themselves a win in LA which could completely discombobulate Kobe and the gang and almost guanreentee the Celtics a Championship.
Game 3 is scheduled for Tuesday night at 9pm est. in L.A. the current spread is Lakers -9 which is probably right on considering the Celtics will be a little jet lagged, I don’t expect them to win or cover.  All you Laker babies have a chance to recoup some of thos losses from game 1 and 2 as I expect the Lakers to come out and crush them, give the points.
