Celts Series Wager Pending...

Celts -4 (-108) - $90/83.33
Under 190 (+102) $110/112.20
Well, here we stand. Game 6. Weve hit the same points over the head 100 times. We know how each team is going to win this game. Ill quickly highlight what the celts HAVE been doing, and what they need to CONTINUE to do. Ive stated these in my game 1 thread, and nothing has really changed.
Ive been treading VERY lightly this finals, mainly because I have this series wager so in turn I already have money on the celts every game.
These 190ish totals have been an absolute COIN FLIP throughout the finals, that I have not wanted to participate in. But I like the under tonight.
I did play the fakeshow 1Q and 1H (what a fuckjob!) in game 5 and split 1-1, but didnt put in record since didnt get a chance to post. I could. Doesnt matter.
KEEP GAYSOL OFF THE OFFENSIVE GLASS/AWAY FROM THE BUCKET. I have said this 1000x, if they could have done that in game 5, the series would be over already, as it was obvious to see during the 4th Q.
I understand that perkins sitting it out played a big role here, lets hope he plays tonight. PJ brown is a big fucking waste of space, and garnett can not do it all himself.
Gaysol does not have a jumper, gaysol gets all of his points from easy putbacks/layups, and also working screen-n-rolls with kobe and fish. Keep gaysol away from the basket, and you keep gaysol at bay.
Limit Kobe's penetration- pierce has the size to do this (theyre both 6'6) and has been playing physical enough to keep kobe out of the paint, and in turn forcing him to take those mid-range and perimeter jumpers. He has done that, and it has frustrated kobe, as his FG pctg this series has been pretty awful. Even when kobe HAS gotten by him, the celtics have done an excellent job of getting him help from perkins and KG forcing kobe to dish the ball.
If you all noticed in game 5, kobe turned the ball over quite a few times trying to force the ball inside when it wasnt there. His jumpers werent falling (besides 1Q), it took him off of his game/had him frustrated, and in turn it made him force it when it wasnt there more often then not.
Keep him out of the paint, and on the perimeter. Let him shoot.
X-factors---Need a big game from Powe/Perkins (if he plays). KG cant do it all himself, they need help with gaysol/odom. You shut down gaysol/odom, you shut down the fakers. Kobe has not taken over a game yet in the finals... he had all the chances in the world to do it in their 3 home games, but didnt do it once. (I know MJ is smiling...!)
I doubt things will change IN boston, where it will be even tougher on him.
I really dont worry about radman, walton, and machine...theyve been pretty useless this series (although machine plays some excellent D).
Thats about it. Lets hope this fucking plane layover does not screw with the celts, and also that perkins (game time decision)/rondo are healthy, and get this money. GO HOME FAKERS!!!!:cheers:
