The Lakers lost three games by 20 points or more during the regular season after Shaq's return. They were 3-0 ATS in the next games, covering as 1 1/2 & 4 points dogs, and as 11 point favorites. In those same games, they went over totals of 188 and 202, and under 208. That's not a whole lot of information, but I'm leaning back towards the OVER. I don't like laying more than 9 1/2 points in the NBA.

I agree see my post from last game. gl

I'm liking Minny, NJ, played Boston and under.

Leaning towards the under in the Minny game right now.

Short BS session here:
Boston will come to play tonight. NJ should wipe out the worst team in the post-season after that loss. Nobody wants to take the East. The Lakers will still not be motivated, definitely at least the supporting cast won't bring it. I think the playoff grit and the traveling may temper what has been phenomenal shooting in this series to this point, but that would be going in the face of a ton of trends in favor of the over. GL

The OVER hit, but I'll admit that I got lucky. What was it--180 with about three minutes left? OT got me over. As one of my friends is fond of saying, "I'd rather be lucky than good"
