The NBA Finals probabilities are officially going ahead and the NBA gambling sports books looked to be close to the mark when they chose the Lakers to win Game 1 at home. However, they were a little bit off the basketball gambling line spread. With a double-digits 102-89 win, the Lakers not only covered the five and a half points in the NBA gambling probabilities point spread, they did so by a mile.

But in one rarely makes an NBA Finals gambling series and only as easily as the Lakers won Game 1. One small upset in play and the NBA gambling series could even at 1-1.

It's not challenging to visualize what the Lakers need to do in order to wrap another NBA gambling probabilities win in Competition 2, after watching the Lakers annihilate the Celtics in Game 1 of the NBA Finals gambling competition.

Thursday night's competition was an outstanding showing by LA which seems to be receiving every series in the NBA playoff gambling competition. There have been some doubts early on in the NBA postseason gambling when the team was tested versus the #8 seed Oklahoma Thunder but those residual uncertainties have faded away over the past few NBA gambling probabilities series as the Lakers have come together and played as well as any team in the NBA probabilities competition.

Once again, in in one of the finest games of his career in the NBA Finals gambling competition, Kobe Bryant directed the charge for the Lakers in Game 1 finishing with 30 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. He played his usual stellar defense, rarely forced anything, let the competition come to him, and most importantly got his teammates involved in the basketball gambling competition.

Bryant was helped out in the Lakers NBA gambling probabilities win by the finest center in the competition, Pao Gasol, who finished with 23 points and 14 rebounds in what we dare say was a dominant performance. Ron Artest also did his part by basically making life unpleasant for Paul Pierce and dropping in 15 points on 5-10 shooting.

It was a departure from the 2008 series, when Bryant was pushed to guard Pierce, and was similarly shutdown by Pierce on the other end. Artest was brought aboard this NBA gambling offseason to take the stress off of Bryant and do the defensive dirty work. He did that and more in Game 1 of the NBA Finals gambling competition by not only making life unpleasant for Pierce but also contributing 15 points on the offense board. The Los Angeles Lakers will win handily if he can duplicate those numbers for the rest of the series.

But all acknowledgement is due to Pierce who, despite being guarded by the finest perimeter defender in the NBA gambling competition, finished with 24 points and snapped up 9 rebounds. He was really the only player that showed up for the Celtics. KG added 16 points but grabbed only 4 rebounds in 34 minutes of competition.

Some of the Celts futility can be blamed on a bad shooting night, but credit is due to the Lakers defense which was stifling.

3 more performances like that and the Lakers will grab their 2nd NBA gambling probabilities championship back to back.
