Western Conf Finals Gm#3

I am taking the Suns for a couple of unconventional reasons.The main reason is everyone thinks the Lakers are a better team than Boston.So they are a better value of an underdog than the Celts were yesterday.And the home team lost yesterday so why not today?They are the Lakers for gods sake? And the money line is not juiced up,so I can take a favorite and only pay an extra dimes juice on a book installed home favorite.Win or not ,it is the right way to Gamble.Because I feel that if you truly capped this game properly L.A. would be the play.Hence the line movement.I hope this makes sense to everyone ,because it makes enough sense to me to make a play on it.Though not a huge one but,


Suns ML -120 to win 2 units


Btw my posted record is now 17-13-2
