"Once we got down, we just kind of got discouraged," Pierce said. "We had lost so many games in a row. So when we get down and the lead goes to 13 or 15, it's hard to have confidence."
Basically he is saying they give up at this point 13-15 points down throw in the towel.
and I want to bet them +8 in utah tonight and probably still will
what a risk
Like I mentioned in another post I made before AC. Anytime I bet the Celtics... They give me a heart attack no matter what the line might be. What makes matters even worse is there on a west coast road trip right now, and the line is only 8 tonight, which scares the hell out of me. Needless to say I'm passing on this game tonight.
I have been taking the points with the Mean Green Celtics, but I think Im laying off tonight. What a piss poor performance last night against the Lakers.
This will be the night the win another, since I passed on it.
I went with Celtics last night as well.
Seems pretty clear they've mailed it in and this road trip is getting too long for them. UTA may be without Okur and Kirilenko again, but they played very disciplined last night and should be able to pick Boston defense apart.
