NBA Playoffs Wagering Odds: Los Angeles Lakers at Boston Celtics Lines

11th June, 2010 - Posted by tang - No Comments

The Boston Celtics lost an excellent chance this past Tuesday in NBA gambling news and let the home game momentum get away along with losing the possibility of securing 3 consecutive games on home court. Paul Pierce who is a former NBA Finals Most Valuable Player has to become more active as the Boston Celtics are in a do or die scenario. Both he and Ray Allen were relatively dormant in the past loss to the Lakers, and they needed Ray Allen to have another big game. It’s unbelievable but Allen was -13 from the court following the impressive and record breaking shooting of 7 3 pointers from the first half alone of Game 2.

The Lakers will be only one game away from their fifth NBA Title and NBA Victors for the second sequential season with one other good game from Bryant, Gasol and Fisher. Bynum, who landed nine points, was another formidable player for the Lakers in game 3, but more significantly he had ten rebounds, a priceless asset in these playoff games.

The Celtics claimed that game on Thursday night, tying up the series score to 2-2 with the Los Angeles Lakers. The Celts’ win guaranteed them a trip back to Los Angeles and averted a 3-1 deficit that has never been overcome in NBA finals history.

Pierce led the Boston Celtics with 19 points despite no shots in the third quarter, 2 turnovers and one foul. 61 percent of the Lakers’ points were acquired by guard Kobe Bryant (33 points) and forward Pau Gasol (21 points).
