Lebron James Goes to the Miami Heat

Its official like a referee whistle, Lebron James is “going to South Beach to play with the Miami Heat”. Kudos to Lebron James for making his decision based on winning a championship, not for the money. Although many Cleveland Cavs fans are upset with the news, they have to respect what he did for their city which he still calls home.

NBA Finals Betting

The NBA Finals are taking an extra day off today and game #5 of the NBA Finals will be played tomorrow, Sunday, June 13th, 2010. The series is currently tied at 2 games a piece, with game #5 being played in Boston.

As much as I want the Boston Celtics to win, the above picture sums up Kobe Bryant’s reply to that. Kobe Bryant may be a cocky, arrogant, ball hog of a player, but you cannot doubt his intensity and there is not one single player in the NBA that can match his drive to win the NBA championships.

NBA Betting Lines

Online sportsbooks such as Bodog currently have the Boston Celtics favored by +3 points (-105). I would take the Lakers at +3 points (-115) because I don’t believe Bryant is going to go back to LA without a 3-2 series lead.

Bodog also has the Over/Under totals at 188 points, which indicates that online betting experts are predicting this to be a low scoring game which I would have to agree with.

Regardless of what happens, this game is going to be a lot more interesting than any World Cup game tomorrow!

Lakers Celtics Online Betting

So far in these NBA playoffs the Lakers have been giving it to the Celtics from behind as seen in the above picture. The Lakers looked unbeatable in Game #1 of the NBA Finals and if you were man enough to bet online for the LA Lakers at -5 point favorites against the Celtics, you would have made yourself a pretty little penny betting online.

NBA Finals Betting

Tomorrow’s game #2 of the NBA Finals takes place in Los Angeles and the Lakers are currently -6 point betting favorites as found the Bodog online sportsbook. After the shellacking the Lakers gave the Celtics in game #1 of the NBA playoffs, I would expect a much stronger effort from the Celtics.

Before you bet online for this game you have to keep in mind that both Garnett and Allen played horrible in game #1 so the game looked far worse than it actually was. Expect big games from the top 3 Celtics; Pierce, Allen and Garnett. Taking this into consideration, I would bet on the Celtics to cover the +6 point spread for this NBA online betting wager.
