My belief is that the easiest time to win on an opponents court in the playoffs is immediately after a loss to them on your homecourt. I also think that the entire Celtics organization and myself are tired of hearing everyone and their uncle talk about the inability of the Celtics to win on the road. This should be a statement game for the Celtics, and lord nows they need it. Time to show everyone the fabric of the team. Look for Garnett,Pierce,Rondo and Allen to play hard. Rivers should also give Perkins a few more touches in the box, as I like him as a player, and believe that he can take McDyess on the low box, which would help with scoring, and make Dyess work on defense. As for Mcdyess, he has been playing lights out, and that changes tonight, I do not believe he has the stamina again to put up a stellar box score.
Bets
Celts + 2 1/2 ist half, Celts + 5 game, under 176 --- 1 unit per
Perkins over 13 1/2 pts and rbs - risk 100 to win 180, Mcdyess under 20 pts and rbs - risk 150 to win 100
