Celts -1/Over 179

[No coincidences]

Putting the "first game without a star player" theory to the test. Celtics win, and without one of their main defensive stalwarts in KG, the game goes over.

Boston 95, Miami 89.

could go either way even without KG but good luck.

What was Boston's record this year in the 13 games without KG?

I know last year they were like 16-7, and they beat Miami once without him early in the season (a high scoring game, I might add -- 112-106 in OT; 101-101 at the end of regulation).

The last two Miami-Boston games without Garnett:
218 points in 2010
220 points in 2009

Boston's Results/TT/GT when Garnett missed 10 games earlier this year:

W-114-221
L-96-198

4-6 record, 97.8 PPG, 197.2 total PPG (nearly 3 PPG higher than their season average)

Books made an egregious error with the 179. They're trying to correct it and have pushed it all the way to 183.5 now, but I'm still guessing the final score will be north of 185.

Love the vocab.. Shows intelligence.. I first heard this word when I was 20 and was impressed with it so I looked it up.. It came from then Federal Reserve Chairman Allen Greenspan... He was detailing the egregious greed in America in the business world.. I believe that was 1999.

Look at the game totals from this series when KG doesn't play. It's staring us in the face. Now I'm not saying this is going to be a shootout, but I'd play it all the way up to 185 and never look back.

I love the 1H over and took it at 90.5. Most of these defensive battles start fast anyways and slow down in the 2H. I see it slowing down late and the 1H will fly over 90.5 with no problems. Basically, the same as all Celtics games.. scoring in the 1H and a crawl in the 2H.

Let's keep our fingers crossed for a decent 4th quarter total and sweep.
