    Boston BIG Thursday night @ Clippers

    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.

    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.

    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.

    they didnt seem to care about winning these road games...


    dec 14th boston on the road vs rockets, rockets won by 12 points. boston scores 89 points.

    dec 15th boston on the road vs spurs, spurs win by 15 points, boston scores 88 points.

    dec 18th boston on the road vs the bulls, bulls won by 11 points, boston scores 88 points


    do they care about winning in a primetime game on TNT ?

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    +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.

    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..

    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.

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

    These all go along with the original play
