NBA Finals Game One Thursday June 5th

We have finally reached the Finals after a long grueling season and we have the ultimate rivalry revisited as the Lakers and Celtics go at it in game one tonight. We have seen all through the playoffs that the totals have been staying under at the rate of 48 to 30 or 61.53%.

This game tonight should follow suit as the Lakers are underrated on the defensive side of the ball. Their defense has been excellent throughout the playoffs. People still tend to think of the Lakers as "Showtime" and generally see them as an offensive minded team only. The Celtics, especially at home, have shown that they can hold good teams below 90 points on a regular basis.

Tonight's game should be "get to know" night for both teams, and until they figure out each other's defensive strategies for this series, the under is the way to lean.
