    Celtics +2.5 @ Hawks

    Atlanta coming off a blowout win. Celtics have stumbled after a strong start to the roadtrip. I think Boston wins this game and gets back on track.

    Liking the opener of +2.5 -115 at the greek

    Should be an interesting game. I'm leaning Celtics as well. Celtics will come ready to play, question is whether the Hawks will.

    Celtics are poor on the road, and the Hawks are a good team. Johnson and Josh Smith only played 35 and 29 mins last night. I see the hawks winning this game and covering the 2 or 2.5 points, I think that side is much better

    It's either Hawks or nothing. With such a line you can't bet the Celts

    I agree, gotta take the hawks. No sense in taking such a small line on thecelts.

    Celtics always have a hard time playing against the hawks...cant see why the hawks would lose with Joe Johnson back

    Hawks playing w/out Pargo, Collins, Horford, and possibly not having either Rodmanovich (not sure if thats a bad thing lol) or Marvin Williams or Willie Green. Leaning Celtics despite their road struggles

    Was not aware of the injuries. Haven't some of those been for a while though?

    Horford and Collins yea. Pargo is newer and if Marvin Williams can't go that will be big.

    All the angles for this game point towards taking the Celtics. The question is will the Celtics old legs show up and be able to cover. I think they match up pretty well with the Hawks.

    This game has some serious playoff seeding implications. The Celts are currently 2.5 game behind the Hawks for the 6th spot in the East. That 6th spot is really important, because you avoid the Heat or Bulls in the first round of the playoffs. I think the Celtics get up for this game and win it SU. Both teams are really decimated with injuries, but the Celtcs have gotten used to playing without O'Neal and Wilcox by now. Pargo is definitely out, and it sounds like Marvin Williams, Radmanovic, and Willie Green will all be game-time decisions.

    That's kind of a retarded logic considering all games are practically a coinflip after the lines, unless youd like to name some locks for everyone here?

    NO disrespect to anyone here but we all know how INCONSISTENT the both teams were playing all season, its gonna be almost impossible to find a winning angle, IMHO...

    How so, I'm discussing a game on a NBA betting forum. You come into a thread and call us all losers.....

    C'mon man....If you feel the game is too hard to cap, just say that. No need add the loser comment.

    Well ok, your looking for edges/ advantages etc.. the main reason everyone trying to cap the game. Well Boston has a day of rest vs no rest for Atlanta. Boston's needs to break a losing streak vs Atlanta's wining streak. Atlanta has home court advantage. We're capping because everyone is looking for any edge as we do on every game we bet. After the lines are made that's the whole point. As stated prior, all games are practically a coin flip after the lines. Boston has played far more inconsistent than Atlanta imo. That's what everyone's here to discuss though.

    Granted, but all teams fall into that category. Can we really name a team that is consistent in beating the spread. Certainly not the Lakers or Miami. Lebron has consisistantly gotten lazy in the 2nd half and lost the game for me and don't get me started on Kobe. Without D. Rose the Bulls are blowing in the wind. No team is truly consistent in beating a spread which is why everyone tries to get together and look for all of the advantages/ disadvantages from one team to the other.

    I'm only betting on 3 games tonight as the rest were to much of a coin flip for me and I saw no real clear advantage that wasnt outweighed by the other side to play any others, however, on this game I went with Atlanta -1.5, but without people at least trying to come together and discuss their opinions on advantages/ disadvantages some might be swayed in a direction they wouldn't have been had they discussed it. I don't think its in vain either way.

    I think it's Boston or nothing. I hate he Hawks. They are way too inconsistent and this line indicates they will lose.

    First game home after a road game. It's a back to back. Celtics need this game.

    Atlanta isn't going to be easy money two days in a row.
