Celtics/Bulls OVER 98.5
Don't really see anything slowing down. Rose and the other Bull guards will have their way going to the basket and that means fouls and stopped clock time. The Bulls got to the line 24 times in that 1H. The Celtics didn't go to the line quite as much but I expect the refs to even that out in the 2H. Pierce will probably go to the basket every time he can. Also, I think the Celtics have no other option but to speed the game up. There is no way they can slow it down and expect to win. No Rondo is a huge loss. The only thing that concerns me is Marbury's lack of experience running the offense.
