Pick the Best Bet

I'm a celts fan and laying off this one. It was a hard fought battle with the Bulls and I expect a lttle bit of a hangover.

I believe if Boston wins this game, it will be by the skin of their teeth.(IMO)

ps>I did vote Orlando in the poll.

Does anyone like Orlando to win the series -110. Seems like a good bet to me. Don't think Boston has the fire power without Garnett. Boston doesn't have the bodies to stop Howard.

I think Boston wins game 1 although. Like Boston -3 in game 1, but Boston in 6. Orlando takes game 2 and won't lose at home.

I agree. I think without Garnett the matchup problems with the best Center in the league is going to kill the C's. With Garnett they could put Perkins/Davis on him one-on-one and just simply let Perkins and baby play attempt to deny the entry pass and then hack-a-howard . Now they are actually going to have to defend him more without fouling due to the lack of size depth on their bench and that means more doubles and a lot more open looks for those deadly shooters. The only thing is if Orlando doesnt get some solid play from Howard on the boards the larger starters for the C's are gonna get a lot of extended possessions. Luckily he's 7' and can jump through the roof...

First game...Orlando!!!

Should say Orlando in 6

Boston gets the cover at home! Tough matchup for Boston Inside, but feel they get it done.

I agree.
I may be way off, but some games are meant to be watched and not bet on, and game one of this series strikes me this way.

Jump on the Celtics and meet me at the Window!

Jump on the Celtics and meet me at the Window!

OR "jump" out of the window if they lose.
ps Hopefully the bad karma from Bruins losing at home last night won't carry over.
