It is rare that Las Vegas would set the odds for an NBA Championship at three-to-one. Even with the Celtics up one game-to-none, in a seven game series the best you would get at the sports books is probably two-to-one.
But three-to-one are truly Hall of Fame odds for this series.

In an earlier post, I noted the Cs, while favored to win game one, were not favored to win the series unless it went 7 games. The Ls were prohibitive favorites if the series went 4 or 5 games. Overall, the Ls started the series as 2-1 favorites.

Now the Cs are 3-1 favs? Money must be pouring in on the Cs at Vegas.

My take is the winner of tonight's game takes home the hardware.

I'm a little wishy washy on tonight's game, sadly.

The Ls are a little better than I expected. I know, I know. What the heck do I mean by that? I just wasn't buying all the purple hype. But the Ls played pretty well in game 1, much better than they admit playing.

If Ray Ray can come up big and be the go to guy, if Pierce can play big in a supporting role, if KG can take it the paint like he did on 12/30 at staples, and if we get one big game from Rondo or Powe, we'll win.

Otherwise, it may probably will be a struggle.
