Boston & Cleveland

im playing the opposite...

Pinny doesnt allow us clients do they

I dont see how anybody thinks PP being out is no big deal!!!???

PP has been key in the losses the Cavs have had VS  Boston..i like the line of 1.5 think Cavs take this game..

Mike Brown has said he doent think Powe will get any time tomorrow...WTF is up with this coach?How can he let this chance for Powe to get some revenge go by?Powe has talked about this game in every article when asked about when he'd return...

Lebron and company cant lose this game they need to rack up wins and stay ahead of the Lakers...the hardest part of the Cavs sched will be behind them after this game...have games @ Celts,Spurs and Hawks none of them on B2B nights...only two game roadies rest of the way too...

thank you. Has Cleveland played a complete game to their standards since the All Star break? Something is wrong over there.

(Tony Allen)....nate robinson playing?

Line is up to giving Boston 3.  Both teams have not covered ATS much lately, and BOS is a dismal 0-4-1 in their last 5 at home, while CLE is a dismal 1-4-2 in their last 7 on the road. 

Cleveland was last favored by 5 at home against Boston, where Cleveland actually lost by 6, and they're favored by 3 in Boston. 

When Jamison last played against Boston, in over 40 minutes, he went 2 for 17 FG's.

The intention of the point spead, as I understand it, is to lure and get an even amount of action on both sides.  Perhaps without Pierce, this game could be a pick 'em.  Lakers are generally better than the Mavs, and the Lakers get Kobe back, and so what happened?  Paul Pierce being out, mentally picks up the others, while at the same time it's harder for the Cavs to devise a game plan with the C's star starter not playing.  The only reason I can think of why the Cavs are favored by 3 in Boston, is a vast majority is just blindly backing the Cavs.  So obviously the Book is trying to attract some action on the C's side, and thus giving you the C's and 3 if you want.  C's and 3 at home is delicious 

Never liked Delonte West who is average at best.  Rondo is up and coming, and near the top as far as point guards go.

KG will produce more than ye old Shaq, as far as points, rebounds, and assists go.

If Ray Allen is hot, especially from 3, the more Lebron will be neutralized.  Tracy McGrady only scored 6 against the C's.  C's know how to play defense and will make someone other than Lebron beat them

Perkins, Daniels, Davis, Wallace and Robinson are all decent role players, and compared to Cleveland's Williams, Parker, Varejao, Gibson & Hickson there's no significant advantage.  If anything, I'd side with Boston (experience, at home, underdog).

"To me, he was the best teammate I've ever had." 

- Brazilian-born F-C Anderson Varejao, on how much he misses the traded Zydrunas Ilgauskas.

As a team, the Celtics are more together right now than the Cavs.

Plus, I'm reading that Paul Pierce is likely not to play.  I haven't seen anything yet confriming he definitely will not play.
