Basketball

Tonight’s Action: The NBA Finals will tip-off tonight at 9:00pm in Boston in an old-school matchup of Lakers vs. Celtics. The Celtics are 2.5 point favorites and the Total is set at 191.5. There will be a ton of emotion early before both teams settle into their groove, that seems to make the Under a good wager, and the downward movement of the Total since it opened at 194 tells you how the rest of gamblers are viewing this game. But The Dean is not a Total player, so you do what you need to with that. With the game, the Celtics have no starters that were in the Finals before but they have veterans on their bench that have been. That calming influence and experience will be felt in Game 1. The Celtics were the best team in the regular season when it came to Ws and Ls and their home-court dominance is what carried them in the playoffs.

There are many matchups that are intriguing, some that are scary and others that are yet determined. With it all out there, I will be laying 3-stars on the Celtics minus the points tonight while paying special attention to the methodologies implemented by both coaches.

For the series, The Dean says Celtics in 7. If you don’t like that prediction, perhaps you would rather side with Tmac by the Bay who likes the Lakers in 6.

Big Brown got the #1 post for Saturday’s running of the Belmont Stakes. Not the best position to start in, but neither was his position at the Kentucky Derby where he started at the furthest out position and still won.
