Boston Celtics -3
Yes, I'm 0-2 backing the Celtics so far in this series but I like this situation tonight and expect them to grab a win and a cover in game 3. First of all, they're playing with 4 days of rest. This helps the Celts more than the Heat. Miami had/has the momentum and a longer layoff usually tends to potentially negate that. Boston. on the other hand, has a chance to rest up and get healthy. Second of all, they're getting Shaq Dizzle back. Sure he probably won't be very effective but it's another big body to take up space down low. Even if he makes LeWade "think twice" about driving to the basket a couple of times, and instead settle for jump-shots, Shaq's job has been done. Third of all, this is still the Celtics team that beat Miami 3 out of 4 games during the regular season and both times in their meetings in Boston. Sure Perkings is gone now, but I still feel this team has enough to compete here and get a crucial home victory.
Miami is a very good team but they're not a 'perfect' team. In round 1 against Philly they lost one on the road against the Sixers and won the other one, which came down to the wire. This team might seem invincible, but they're not as dominant on the road (no team really is). This is truly Boston's 'SUPERBOWL' and I expect them to respond.
Good luck!
