I dont usually start my own threads about games (almost never) but this is a gem tonight. I like the Celtics -3 for many reasons but to be super safe im taking the ML. Celtics have had 2 days off and that will be huge for an older team, on the flip side Oklahoma city played last night and will be playing their 7th game in 11 days. OKC has cooled off after that hot stretch and is only 12-7 in their last 19 games. And we all know the Celtics are starting to gather steam as this group at least attempts to make a deep playoff run for the last time together. The only thing that would scare me about this team is complacency vs bottom feeders but OKC is a top NBA team this year so the Celts will be geared up for this. The final reason I like this game is it is midweek so no late night shenanigans by the Celts while OKC gets to bed early with a hotel curfew (ive seen this hurt the Celts this year but not tonight). Celts will come out strong tonight and press forward after the spurs letdown. 103-89
Celtics ML -150 (you will thank me)

#3OKC is better than the Celtics also.
If you are a top team in the West, you are better than every team in the East with exception to Orlando/ClevelandComment -

#5Perkins is playing. Pierce may be out but they can score against OKC without him. 2 days off for the Celtics is like a completely different team. Throw in OKC played last night and this will be the 7th game in 11 nights, too much bball to beat a rested CelticsComment -

#22News: Pierce (shoulder) will play Wednesday against the Thunder, the Celtics' official site reports.
Spin: The Celtics wouldn't be running Pierce out there if he wasn't ready to go. Get him in your lineups.Comment -

#23Pierce is playing after all.
i like OKC tonight ML and +6
i think celts can and will go DEEP in the playoffs
this yeas regular season was mostly about getting healty
and they do have a very respectable record
really don't care about these garbage games anymore..
OKC should be able to take this.
if the game meant anything I would be on boston.
for them this is no more than a scrimmage.Last edited by Snowball; 03-31-10, 06:41 PM.Comment -

#2661-57 Celtics at the half..........Celtics announcers are dropping hints that refs are favoring OKC too. Celtics outrebounding them by 4 yet OKC went to the line 10 more times............so Celts are shooting .711 and OKC .568 and they are only up 4. but im confident in the 2nd half cause the only way OKC wins this is with more help from the refs, and then the boxscore will look way too shady

#27Celtics are still working schemes and getting ready.. they are going to be all on for playoffs.. on a night like this it came down to the wire because OKC was hot on 3's and happenned to go the other way.
Not something to read into very much.
watching postgame with KG and Pierce now.
some positives tonight ! bench getting better.. Sheed looked great !
Celtics shot 59.5%
KG swore in the postgame. Said Durant was treated like Michael FUKKIN Jordan by the refs and Pierce said the Free Throw Differential was the game.Comment -

#30Much like the C's making bitch ass excuses.
Celtics are front runners, and hated around the league for it.
Whenever they have a lead going into the last few minutes of a game. You can see Paul, and KG barking at their opponents. Not today though.Comment -

#31yea that's what Doc Rivers just said. 34-17 free throw differential.
they did a lot of things right, and still lost because of that.
this is bullshit. NBA sucks. FIXED. 60% shooting by Celtics.
Commisioner David Stern is in on the fix.Comment -

#34OKC did get more favorable calls, but it wasn't as bad as you make it sound. The Pierce strip/block on Durant was all ball and it happened at a crucial point of the game. But overall, like I said, it wasn't that bad. Definitely not worthy of statements like "the refs gave the game to Thunder". Perhaps the fact that you had big money on this game may have skewed your perception here.Comment
