Call your momma if you need some money for this one. The only question is how much you want to win. This is the easiest capp of the year. Detroit 1st quarter, half, game and at the half. GL

Well, I'll have a best bet play on the Celtics and a nice ML bet, and a strong 1st half play , and ML 1st half.
 
Based on my statistical data and the history of many series  that shows a team playing like the Celtics have played this season vs a team playing like the Pistons, the team playing like the Celtics will rarely fall behind in the series.
 
And I love it when most experts and gamblers are against me.
 
You better heed The Claws words !!

 Pistons win by at least 8 if not more...  Probably going Under but I will just bet the -5......

Wow, I though SA would play the Lakers a little closer Friday eve---sort of like you have to win one or more away to take the series---I guess they didn't have that Piston Power to take game 2(Away)

Detroit at home. As long as its under 7 take it. Theres a 14% probability  that the Celtics win so detroit -5 to -5.5 is safe. underboy.

Piston's Moneyline looks good!!!!!
 
I have only one problem with this game.  Whenever a team wins game #2 like Detroit did on the road and then returns home, the home team usually wins and covers the spread the next game if they are less of a favourite then the last time they played at home!
 
Last Home game Detroit was -2.0 favourite.
This game Detroit opened at -5.0 favourite.
 
Beware.....It kind of looks like they want us to "JUMP" on Detroit.
 
Plays for TODAY:
 
Detroit Moneyline(2 units)
Boston +5.0.....Possibly higher by game time(3units)
 
GL to All

for some reason I win more often when I tease, I guess that's the beauty of it.... Pistons and the under are my tease today!!
 
I think I could make a living off of the tease.. especially ncaa football
 
also if 1 unit = $100 then I got 10 units to win on this one

Taking Detroit here, but buying a point and a half since my book now has it a Det -5.5. Celtics road problems continue.
 
And as for Sportzone's question. GL means "good luck" and ML means "moneyline".
 
PISTONS -4 (4 units)

I hate to repeat myself every other day, however it's the same story for every game in the Eastern finals....Under 1Q.  These two teams struggle to find a groove early in the game.  First quarter unders have been money in the bank.  I'm also playing Pistons
-4.5.  Detroit will go up 2-1 tonight at home infront of their home crowd.  Boston may get a road W this series, but tonight is not the night.
 
Under 1Q 44
Pistons -4.5

Ladies and Gentlemen, people, folks, kids, anyone thats reading;  I have 1 question and 1 question only.................................................................WHAT HAS CHANGED?   WHAT HAS CHANGED? WHAT HAS CHANGED?    I have been asking everyone this question since the second road loss to Atlanta. WHAT HAS CHANGED FOR THE CELTICS?   They can't win in ATLANTA- 0 for 3,  They can't win in Cleveland-0 for 3, So here it comes again............. WHAT HAS CHANGED?  I hope my celtics can win, but even as a BIG fan, I don't see anything that has changed. Until they win on the road,    Detroit minus the chalk.             WHAT HAS CHANGED????????      DETROIT MINUS POINTS.
