2008 NBA Finals Pick - Game Four

The Lakers were able to sneak out a victory in Game 3 of the NBA Finals and now they have a chance to even the series at 2-2 before heading back to Boston for Game 5.  The Lakers were able to pull away during parts of Game 2, but they could never manage to hold the big lead.  The line for Thursday’s game still favors the Lakers by 7.5 points, so odds-makers obviously still think the Lakers have enough in the tank to win handily.  I think that Tuesday’s win was a big step in the right direction for the Lakers, but it also threw up several warning flags.  If Kobe can’t perform down the stretch, or his misses a few free throws earlier in the game, the Celtics would have a 3-0 lead.  That obviously did not happen, but it doesn’t bode well for L.A.  The line is still too high for this match-up in my opinion, we will stay on the Celtics for Game Four though the Lakers still have a good chance to win the game, just not by 8 points.
