Boston Celtics - Los Angeles Lakers

Boston Celtics seems to be in better form than in the beginning of the playoffs and I can say that they're finally quite better in offense, scoring more points, which ought to be a clue against highscoring Lakers, because opponents like them always could score many points, even against great defenses. In first game it should be over, but in last quarter both teams played poor, with many easy shots missed. Today Celtics aren't under such huge pressure and I feel they'll pass 100 points line in here. Of course Paul Pierce injury could be dangerous and big loss for hosts, but still Boston looks capable of scoring a lot of points, playing fast basket.

Los Angeles Lakers really disappointed in first match and I think it won't happen again, especially that Kobe Bryant ought to play much, much better, scoring some amazing points. They were excellent in first half, but in second one they lost confidence and efficient, which couldn't repeat today I hope. They really need a win in here as 0-2 would be hard for them to bounce back, so they should focus on their main power - offense. I predict at least 90-95 points for LA, especially that also Gasol with Odom are to play better. Of course in finals trends are rather on under side, also Celtics were playing defensive basketball during whole season, but with Lakers on court, I can't imagine another under in this series, after 98-88 result in game one. Over 191 points at Mansion88 looks really solid and it'll be my maybe even last play this season in NBA, because bookmakers are doing great job with odds so far and it's not strange as everyone knows what to expect from both Celtics and Lakers. Value is only because of quite misleading lowscoring game on Tuesday.
