0.6* Magic +3 -115
Going to add more to this, but wanted to get a bet on them just in case the line moves.. I love the Magic in this spot, believe all the pressure is on the Celtics and they've been surviving in these playoffs by the skin of their ass. Tough series against the Bulls, Davis hitting last second shot to keep them alive.. Magic blowing games they should of won etc..
Howard is the x-factor here, Boston doesn't have many big men left so if Davis and Perkins get in foul trouble that will be great.. Howard and the Magic missed 50% of their FTs the other night and still won by 8.. I think the margin of error for Boston is less than that of the Magic..
I'm just going with what my eyes have seen, I've seen the Magic as the better team.. Getting more than one possession and plus money on the ML is the kind of spot I like to be in on larger plays..
I know I'm pretty much alone here, cause everyone on the forums love Boston and I can understand, but I throw out home court completely, Orlando has played them great at the Garden beat them in game one and should of beat them in the other game.. Bulls played them great at the Garden too, home court means nothing in this spot.
Magic looks like one of the better plays of the season to me.

I'm with you.. other than game 2, Orlando has looked like the better team OVERALL. sure they blew two leads but in general Orlando was the better team
I'm taking the better team + points and they'll say say Orlando is bound to fall apart in the 4th again.. which is possible, but honestly, I'll take my odds that they won't, for i feel it is better than the odds that they will. AND that fact ALONE is a large reason I'm with you gyne

Gyno. Thanks for the posts bro. I usually agree with your analysis, but didnt the Celts "survive by the skin of their ass" every single series last year? I know I know no KG, but its possible this team just knows how to win. Ray Allen hasnt come out of the locker room yet in this series. If he does, and has a big shooting day, the Celts may just survive by the skin of their ass again. Personally, I'm not touching this game b/c I think its a flip of the coin. However, this Celtics squad has been lights out in game 7s. Anyway, thanks again for you posts bud. GL
Saying the Magic have been better in this series through what you've seen on the court is just flat out wrong.
Use the Dwight Howard factor, say what you want about the Rashard Lewis mismatch... but saying they've been the better team or saying what ESPN has touted all week that the Magic have won five of these six games is just flat out wrong.
Good luck - you're going to need it.

Not having KG is a big difference, not having James Posey shouldn't be ignored either. He made some huge shots for them last season..
Plus they seemed to have a huge home court advantage last year, this season that hasn't surfaced yet.. Bulls played them close in almost every game played at the Garden, Magic as well.. The Garden mystique is not there this season..
May the best team win, hopefully its the Magic.
