Went 5-1 yesterday only to lose on all the scoring in the 4q of the NO/Den game. On to today's games...
Bos@Chi:
Line: Chicago -2
Really? The defending champs as underdogs in their first road game of the playoffs? This game is screaming Bulls. The Celts are not even close to the same w/o KG. They no longer have the defensive inside force to stop the opposing guards from easy layups (i.e. Derrick Rose). The Celts also lost all 3 road games last year in their first playoff matchup.
Saying all that, I still love the Celts in this matchup. Here's why:
1. They need this win to regain home-court advantage. If they are going to steal a road game, NOW is their chance. They can regain momentum of this series and take a commanding 2-1 lead.
2. The Celts are a better team when the public believes they can't do it. They thrive in an "under-dog" type role. Tonight, most of the public loves the Bulls @ home because of their stellar home play during the entire regular season.
3. Even though they lost KG, they still have Paul Pierce and this is still a team that played well without him (albeit, they are a completely different defensive team)
I also love the Under of 200.5. I don't see either team reaching 100, with this being a defensive battle that ends in the mid 90s.
Bos-95
Chi-92
On to my other picks for the day:
Utah +1.5
Under 214
Dallas -4.5
Over 190

leaning on the celts earlier but now, im going for the bulls. its because its their first home game in this series, you can sense the bulls' eagerness on dominating the celts in their territory, they are more hungry for the win tonight. plus celts are not on 100%(some key players are injured and out for the season).
