Even though the Lakers are favored at vegas,I can assure you The celtics are a monster fav ,and heres why,,,,1st off Boston already beat the lakers 2 times in the reg season,both by blowouts and rondo didnt even play 1 game.......2ndly Boston won 9 more games than LA,,,not 1 or 2 or 3 but 9,,,,whens the last time you saw any reg season best team underdogged????? Not many times let me tell you.If the reg season games had been close,then you might be right but just adding 1 player (Gasol) isnt and shouldnt be enough to overcome what Boston has in store for LA.This series is no doubt gonna be remembered as the "david and goliath " series.We will see if the lakers can slay the mighty Celtics(Goliath) on the parquet floor
