triple-dime bet 710 BOS -3.0 (-110) BetUS vs 709 LAL
Analysis: My 10* PERFECT STORM is on the Bos Celtics at 8:05 ET.
Setting the stage for the importance of winning Game 5 is fairly easy. Game 5 winners in best of-of-seven series tied at two-all have gone on to win 130 of the previous 156 series (that's 83.3 percent) in NBA postseason history. Much has been made of the current 2-3-2 format these last 25 years and taking a microscope to the EIGHT series which have been tied at two-all since 1985, we find that Game 5 winners have gone on to capture the series SIX times. The exceptions have been the 1988 Pistons, who won Game 5 at home but then lost Games 6 and 7 in LA, plus the 1994 Knicks, who won Game 5 at home but then lost Games 6 and 7 in Houston. It's interesting to note that home teams in these Game 5s (under the 2-3-2 format) are just 4-4 SU, when a series has been tied at two-all and just TWO of the four Game 5 winners have been able to eventually win the series (the '85 Lakers and the '06 Heat). In contrast, the four visiting teams to have won their Games 5s, have all gone on to take the title. Three teams won in six games (the '92 Bulls, the '97 Bulls and the '03 Spurs) and a fourth won in seven (the '05 Spurs). While this "sets the stage," it doesn't give us any real help in determining this year's Game 5 pointspread winner. I'm taking the Celtics in Game 5 and here's why. Boston did little to stop either Gasol (20.3-10.7 on 57.1 percent shooting) or Bynum (13.3-7.3 on 52.0 percent shooting) in the first three games (LA led 2-1). Odom had done little in LA's first two games but went 5-of-5 from the floor in Game 3, scoring 12 points and grabbing five rebounds. LA's size and length looked as if it could control this series, as Boston's lone win up to that point had come when Ray Allen (32 points while setting a Finals record with eight, three-pointers) and Rondo (19-12-10) had 'monster' efforts in game 2. However, Boston showed a lot of grit and determination in Game 4, as Pierce played his best game of the series (Artest looked helpless) and the Boston reserves dominated a close game in the 4th quarter. Boston's bench would outscore LA's 36-18 for the game, as Davis scored 18 points and Nate Robinson added 12 in 17 minutes. LA's bench has been little more than Odom (he had 10 of the 18 points in Game 4) all series and with Bynum's play likely to be limited with his knee issues, Odom is almost a defacto starter. Remember, KG did little in Boston's Game 4 win plus Allen (4-of-11, including 0-of-4 on threes) and Rondo (5-of-15 shooting for just 10 points) hardly distinguished themselves. Boston has a lot of room for improvement. Kobe's been somewhat held in check this series (he's shooting just 40.9 percent) and while he is always a threat to "take over," my gut tells me this is Boston's game. Gasol's been great but Artest was "defensively challenged" in Game 4 plus he continues to be an offensive 'nightmare,' making 27.3 percent on threes this postseason (why is he allowed to take them?). Fisher was terrific in Game 3 (11 of his 16 points in the 4th quarter) but he's made just 8-of-22 shots (36.3 percent) in the other three games (7.0 PPG) and has yet to make a three-pointer this series (0-7!). I'm NOT counting the Lakers out of this series by a long shot but I do believe they'll have to win Games 6 and 7 back in LA if they want that second straight title. Take the Celtics.
