Who’s next for the Lakeshow?
So I was wrong to be scared of the Spurs… Tim Duncan is still plenty scary, going for a triple double in their game 5 defeat, but his team-mates all seem to have been a little off their games this series.
It is their year off after all… They’ve never won back-to-back titles.
Kobe Bryant was just awesome and now the Lakers are paying just 1.50 (1/2) to win the NBA title. Imagine if their centre, Andrew Bynum was actually playing!
The Celtics face the Pistons on the road today and are trying to secure their own trip to the finals. Bodog has the Celts down for a tough game though, favoring the Pistons to win by 5 points.
The Celtics are paying 2.80 (+185) for the win on the road.
The haven’t been able to do it yet this playoffs, relying on the home court advantage in game seven to win both of their previous playoff matchups against the Hawks and the Cavs.
Bodog are also offering some fun player props. They’ve got odds for who will score the most points out of Ray Allen and Tayshaun Prince, which will be interesting. The ghost of Ray Allen awoke in game 5 to break his slump and score 29 points, so we’re picking Ray to keep up the good form and beat the gangly Prince by more than 2.5 points for a 1.77 (-130) collect.
There’s some other good props there to keep the game interesting. Paul Pierce, McDyess, Sheed, Chauncy and Rondo are all featured.
That’s one of the best things about online sportsbooks. They make watching these games for fun with these funky little types of bets. It doesn’t have to be serious bets on the spread for big money, we can bet a couple of bucks on our favorite players to have a good or bad game.
To me it makes watching the game just that little more exciting.
Enjoy the weekend!
