Well back to the NBA finals after a couple days off. This line move is treacherous. I personally don't see how everyone loves the Lakers tonight as they are now laying 1 on the road against the best team in the league and the best home team in the league. Even with foul trouble and bad shooting late in the game the Celtics handled it and covered easy allthough it didn't look that way for most of the game until a couple minutes left in regulation. Kobe Bryant can't do it alone and never was able to get this far because of that. You saw the same situation in the late part of the 4th when he took the game and put it on his shoulders. This team won't win that way. Personally I feel the same thing will happen but this game should be a little closer. The Lakers have not covered against Boston yet this season. Back in November the Lakers lost by 13, then in a re-match at home they laid 3 and lost outright. Now losing in game 3 they have an 0-3 record su and ats against the Celtics. Laying 1 in a "must win" game 2 on the road means nothing. They can lose tonight and take the next 3 at home. Thats how the NBA works. Even if Boston loses at home they should cover in game 3 on the road or even game 4 getting points in both. I'm going right back to the Celtics and the over in game 2 tonight as I feel this one ends up in the mid 190's tonight. There is no way the Lakers will finish the game 4 of 20 from the field and Garnett won't miss 9 of 10 shots either in the 4th. I personally see a 98-96 game. These 1 point lines usually end in a win by a basket. Expect a close game ether way.

2* LA/Bos Over 190.5
1* Boston +1
