Hawks Celts Round 3

[20and2]

I really don't wanna bet against the Hawks but i just don't see Boston losing to them 3 times in a row. And they are at home this time. It is a back to back for Boston but today's game was in the afternoon with a very short flight home.

Might have to go with Boston here

[W0lfy]

Only problem I have with this game is Atlanta getting embarrassed by Orlando on Friday night.. Teams usually respond after an embarrassment, but the right pick here seems to be Boston.

[moneymaker09]

i think the right pick is boston too. even tho somehow atlanta keeps shuttin them down i think boston wants their revenge and is gonna come strong this game, lookin forward to watchin this game tomorrow

[wolverines]

all I have to say

[Wilforth]

It's hard for any team to go 3-0 against the C's. But I still think there are easier Monday picks than the C's.

You're right that is a legitimate concern but i still say the Celts don't lose 3 in a row to them

Even if the Hawks show up strong and hang tight the Celts can still cover late because it's only a 3 point spread.

[wolverines]

hawks are pissed from getting blown out sat and they are rested

[ijenpo]

You can say Hawks are pissed about getting blown out, but you don't think Boston is pissed that they lost to them twice?

[innovator8520]

[PAPSMEAR]

i'm on the boston bandwagon. The hawks are hot and cold. The celts are back on track. At home they will not get swept. BIG PLAY for me here

[WhatAboutMeBitch]

Celts should win

[MrSink]

im on celts
it's hard to win all 3 games against one team expetially boston
-3 is really close margin so in my opinion they should cover
gl all

[iceaxe56]

hard to call--in the pros its all about the legs--celts will be tired but hawks rested--bookies i think have the spread right --it will be cose either way

[zoukakos]

Hawks isn't a very good team on the road, look at their last 10 games away, they are 4-6. Only two of those 4 won are against teams that above .500 mark (Dallas and Toronto), the other two wins come from Pacer and T'woes.
On 6 games lost, Detroit, Chicago, Denver, Cleveland, Heat and Orlando.
I think Boston has very little problem to take care of Hawks tonight at home, JMHO

Hawks last game was an ass kicking in Orlando where they literally took the Beeline straight to Disney and never on on I-4 to the arena. They play when they feel like it.

[Fishhead]

CELTICS are a strong play on this end.


This line may move to -5

Beeline? wow that's old school Orlandoese

Celtics, but I won't be happy about it till the game starts

[JohnAnthony]

I'm staying away from this game, but if I had to bet it - I'd either go Atlanta ML or Boston with the points.

As some of you mentioned, it's pretty hard to go 3-0 on Boston. But I think Celtics already got the chance to figure out playing against Atlanta after games one and two, yet they lost the third. You realize it's one of those unique match-ups where an excellent team may have a very hard time against a good, yet a worse team?

Hmm, I hate Atlanta that's why I'm still not sure..but I'd go with Atlanta ML.

[daydrinkn]

For whatever reason Boston always struggles with Atlanta. I think they take the sweep. Fading the public play.

[thebestthereis]

Bad scheduling spot for C's, although it was a bad scheduling spot for the Magic yet they still bombed the Hawks anyway. Hawks +4.5 and pray.

[20and2]

Final play for me is Boston -3 (knocking off the half point as usual)

I may regret taking them instead of Oklahoma -5 but it is what it is

[jaymac82980]

if my local offered ML's I'd take atlanta. which means im on atl +4.5

atlanta seems to own noston this year. im a huge C's fan, but this fact I just can't argue. Maybe if Garnett was playing I would lean the other way, but he's not, so I won't.

Isn"t this what they were saying about the Eagles and the Cowboys?

[20and2]

Isn"t this what they were saying about the Eagles and the Cowboys?

Not really

Cowboys were clearly better on the interior lines, and they were superior because of it, and most people knew it ( at least the smart ones)

You really think the Hawks are superior to Boston ?

[jjgold]

I took Boston -2 in 1st half

Celtics ML at -175 is screaming trap, it seems.

some teams just match up well with others

[SRBI]

BOSTON -- Boston center Kendrick Perkins is chasing franchise history.

Perkins is currently shooting 64.4 percent from the field and is first in the NBA in that category.
Cedric Maxwell set the Celtics all-time franchise mark for field goal percentage during the 1979-80 season when he shot 60.9 percent from the floor, but Perkins is on pace to eclipse that mark.

Since the game against the Golden State Warriors on Nov. 18, 2009, Perkins has knocked down 75 percent of his shots (42-for-56). He is averaging a career-best 12.4 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game.

[SRBI]

BOSTON -- No Celtic has ever led the NBA in steals over the course of a full season, but Boston guard Rajon Rondo might change that.
Rondo is currently first in the NBA with 2.56 steals per game and in total steals with 87. He is also ranked first in steals per 48 minutes at 3.40 which is well ahead of Chris Paul's 2.87 steals per 48 minutes.

Rondo is averaging a career-best 13.7 points, 9.7 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game to go along with his 2.56 steals. Paul, from New Orleans, is second in the NBA in steals per game (2.26).

Lets not doubt the Celtics too much now ya hear, this kid is not that bad, nice lil guy to feed off for energy.
