Los Angeles Lakers @ Boston Celtics Tuesday June 17, 2008 9:00 pm
Game 6 of this final with the real possibility of having a new champion today, in case Boston wins at home today. Having in account their two games at home and the heart they've showed in these last two games, the team of Boston is clearly favorite today, however, the Lakers have ... read more

Game 5 of the finals, which can be the last one if Boston wins today. If you remember I took the Lakers in the past game as a DD and there isn't much to say about this game, as we all know what happened, with Boston making one of the biggest comebacks ever in the NBA finals. And ... read more

Game 4 of this finals with the Lakers down by 1-2 right now and having the chance of tie the series tonight at home. The Game 3 was very important, as both teams had chances to win the game and fortunately for the Lakers, Vujacic and Kobe were capable of finishing off the game on ... read more

Game 3 of this final where everybody is expecting a Lakers bounce back tonight. But unfortunately the bookies also thought that way and they have removed any value on the Lakers side, as 9.5 points would obligate the Lakers to blowout Boston tonight, in order for them to cover. This ... read more

Boston receives the Lakers in the Game 2, leading the series by 1-0. For this game I have the feeling that the Lakers will be very competitive and they may even win today, however I think the public money pounded so much LA that betting on the Lakers doesn't have value anymore, as ... read more

Los Angeles Lakers @ Boston Celtics Thursday June 5, 2008 9:00 pm
Most of the favoritism for the Lakers come from the run or the momentum they've created in this playoffs. They just needed 15 games to reach the final in a wild Western conference, instead of Boston which needed 20 games to find their path. That's for me the best explanation to understand ... read more

Game 6 of this series with the Western champion already known: the Lakers. I have to show my frustration how the Game 5 of this series went, as if you remember I took Boston -6 and Boston won, but didn't cover the spread. The positive fact is that I was able to predict exactly what ... read more

Decisive game tonight in this series, with Boston and Detroit tied 2-2 right now and a win tonight will put one of these teams one win away from the NBA final. Even though this series is 2-2 right now, we have seen it all in this series, with both teams winning one game at home and ... read more

Game 4 of this series and the Lakers lead the series by 2-1, however the Spurs have won their first battle at home, by blowing out the Lakers in style by 103-84, confirming that they are a team with character, even when the situations aren't the best for them. I remember that they ... read more

Game 4 of this series with Boston leading by 2-1. It's curious to see that the momentum of this series quickly changed in just one game. If with the win of Detroit at Boston (the first home defeat of Boston in the post season) there were a lot of doubts that Boston would be capable ... read more

The Spurs receive the Lakers today and they are trailing 0-2 right now. Obviously this game is crucial for the Spurs and if they lose today, it will be impossible for them to comeback from a 0-3 in this series, like the history of the NBA tells us. In the Game 2, the Spurs were destroyed ... read more

Lakers won game 1 89-85 in a weird game given the fact that the result was 45-65 with 5:54 to go in the third quarter, thats right! The Lakers outscored Spurs 44-20 after this including a 24-13 run in the final quarter. Its hard to think that the Spurs will get such a huge chance ... read more

Short write up for today. If you remember I write the following for game 1: "Actually, I've studied with a lot of detail the three games between the two teams in the regular season and Detroit had a lot of problems to score easy shots, in the paint. Boston defended extremely ... read more

First game of the Western conference final between the Lakers and the Spurs. Yesterday we had another win with Boston defeating Detroit. If you remember well in my explanation, the fact that Boston played more games than Detroit in the previous series wasn't a reason strong enough ... read more

Besides taking the Spurs, I'm also taking the under on this game. The Spurs had a lot of troubles to score in the previous games of the series at New Orleans, scoring not even 82 points per game (79, 84, 82). This game will be refereed by the most experienced official in the league ... read more

Game 7 of this series where everything will need to be solved today. Both Boston and Cleveland have won their home games and today it's Boston who plays at home. This game is extremely dangerous for Boston, even though I think Boston is the favorite to win today, no way I would pick ... read more

Game 6 of this series and the Lakers are currently leading by 3-2, which means that a win tonight would put them automatically in the conference final. For this game I like the spot of Utah for everything they have done at home during this season, just like these playoffs are happening ... read more

Game 5 of this series and right now the series is tied 2-2, so I can say the major decisions to find out who will face Detroit in the Eastern conference final will be in part decided tonight. Boston showed that they can't win on the road in this post season, being 0-5 in those games, ... read more

For this game I'll accept the risk of taking a team playing on the road right now. It seems to be dangerous, after all in 16 games already played in the conferences semi finals, only one team playing on the road won and covered the spread. The only exception was Detroit last Saturday ... read more

Game 5 of this series which will probably be the last one of Orlando this season and which will qualify Detroit for the Eastern conference finals once again. Detroit won at Orlando by 90-89 last Saturday, in a game if you remember I took the under. This game had two very different ... read more

The Cavs defeated Boston in a pretty fashion way by 108-84 in the Game 3 of this series. This was a brutal loss for the Celtics and hopefully for us it opened a very good window of opportunity for the Game 4. What's weird about the team of Boston is that are yet to win a road game ... read more

San Antonio was finally able three days ago to win a game in this series against the Hornets and now the series is 2-1 in favor of New Orleans. In the Game 3 if you remember I took the under on a best bet and I was completely tricked by Popovich's strategy and I give him merit for ... read more

Orlando won the Game 3 and right now the series is 2-1 for Detroit and if you remember I took Orlando in that game, even though the conditions are favorable for Orlando again today, I won't go again on Orlando, as I expect a kind of bounce back from Detroit, so in this scenario I ... read more
