Boston BIG Thursday night @ Clippers

[t-wizzle]

Like I said before yesterday's game, this is an important road-trip for Boston. They failed miserably on their last roadtrip so it's no doubt they will be focused this time around. They looked great yesterday as the offense was efficient and they got great production from some role players.

I'm taking Celtics +8.5 for at least 10 units here. Waiting for reduced juice at 5Dimes. Will also throw a few bucks on the ML. Clippers can't win every game the rest of the year.

tomorrow is a shit fukking card. 2 games....so pissed i lost my only play today, only 5 unit, up hugre past few days but still furious.

[vasilli07]

They will win tomorrow and probably lose at Utah.

CP3 is going to show Rondo who is the best PG in the league. DJ and Griffin should dominate the boards since that's Celtics weakness area. And the bench, the likes of a has-been Jason Terry and inconsistent Lee versus Bledsoe and Crawford.

You again! You know fellas been discussing Celtics game but they can stop and address your concerns.

[Sport_Fish]

I thought OKC was 'large' at 20+ units...now create a thread with boston 'BIG' for 10 units

Ppl here need to stop tossing units around like its nothing. Just post a play/write-up its more than enuf.

I've had 5 games circled for this week for a week or two now.

Thunder, Lakers, Celtics yesterday. Nuggets tonight. Celtics tomorrow night. I also took Clippers big last night. Not throwing around units, I'm sure I'll go back to posting primarily 1-5 unit plays after this Boston play.

List of teams Clippers have beaten in their 14-0 run:
denver
phoenix
sacramento
new orleans
detroit
milwaukee
charlotte
chicago
toronto
phoenix
dallas
utah
sacramento
minnesota

I believe Minnesota at the time was Love-less and Without Rubio. They beat Chicago by 5, I think, and Utah by 1. They are one of my favorite teams but they might be getting over-hyped at this point...

Boston matches up well here but the thing with Boston is you just can't trust them to give 100% effort until after the break. Pierce Garnett and Rondo don't even care if they get a 7 or 8 seed in the East. They don't care about home court at all. They're not scared of any team in the East in a 7 game series. Road/home means nothing in the playoffs. Boston should have beat a lot of teams this year they lost to.

[Goat Milk]

That looks kind of like the the teams OKC beat during their 12 game win streak.

[Catchn_Picks]

gl twizz...I know this is a big play for you...admire a gutsy call in that LAC is in a groove right now. Hope you get em.

[t-wizzle]

They care when their record dips below the .500 mark.

[BigDofBA]

I don't think any of us know when these teams care or not. Sometimes they just take nights off without any rhyme or reason.

I really like this play though. As you said, the Clippers won't win the rest of their games and Boston should be able to keep it within 9.

With that said, I could see Boston getting down double digits and just mailing it in. Wasn't there a similar situation earlier in the year and Boston got blown out by San Antonio? I could be thinking of something totally different but I think they did.

[innovation]

Line somewhat soft and perfect for argument to be made by each side.

I don't see Clippers changing what they do best. I think it will take them on the road at a high power ranked home court team before they get edged out of a victory. My thoughts are that could be in Denver on the 1st.

Good Luck Clippers just play to good on both sides of the court for me to fade em tonight.

[BigDofBA]

It seems like every time I back Boston big, they can't buy a basket and end up scoring like 8 points in a quarter to find themselves down 20.

[Snowball]

+8.5 is just enough to make it interesting for a back-door cover.
sure, they could win too, but like Goat says, they are just not
going balls on for it 48 minutes. It's not worth it to do so.
Probably ok as part of a teaser.
Team is still searching for flow. This team has a lot of new parts.

[t-wizzle]

I may add to Boston +8.5

[dosogood]

what do you guys think about KG under 14.5 points??
blake will give him lots of trouble,and KG is 8 -12 -12 last 3 games..

also considering rondo over 14.5.. since celtics will less likely have too much points in the paint and rondo will be very competitive against c paul..

[brainfreeze0]

I think Boston covers the spread but I don't see them winning ml

[t-wizzle]

Does anyone know why every single book just went to -9? They all moved at the exact same time and when that happens it's usually because of an injury but I'm not seeing anything.

[Powderguy]

I like the Celts as well to keep it close

My book Iasbet opened at -9

[Speedy88]

Good luck wizzle, can't believe all the hate your getting. You're one of the few credible people in here.

[Yinz Hooligan]

most books opened at 9..its just going back the the number it started at and will move based on backing from there...maybe books want more boston backers? is the public on bos or lac?

[t-wizzle]

Thanks speedy. One of my favorite posters around here.

[t-wizzle]

Boston +9 -105 (5x)
Boston +8.5 -107 (3x)
Boston ML +380 (1x)

These all go along with the original play

[ridims]

Yup on it to Twiz. Glad to see this!

[ChiLLx]

Not a good start

[Look4Cover]

On Boston +8.5.

Hopefully, the Celtics get something going in the second half....

[alamo]

Why did the Celts pull big Kev Garnett after only 5min
