Boston Celtics at New York Knicks

hothandsmgee · 03-21-11, 08:05 AM

Thats an interesting game considering how both have underperformed lately

mann2chc · 03-21-11, 08:18 AM

I think this gme goes under... Its a statement game for both teams but i think boston's statement will come thru clearer... Besides i dont think the knicks will be able to bait the celts into an uptempo game... GL!!!

panik · 03-21-11, 08:23 AM

Ill go with the knicks. They have showed up on big games. (Last time against Miami) I think they will show up tonight.

Interesting game, maybe we should ask for opinion our "smart" mate (madrabbit) who lost real small fortune lately by betting on the Knicks. It would be interesting to hear his opinion about this game and then take the opposite side, of course!

It will be the fourth game os the Knicks in 5 days ... Boston is travelling a lot also ... but I think Knicks will be walking today!! ... The Bulls tied the Boston season record ... and they need to win ... they didnt play yesterday ... Boston takes this!!

shermanator · 03-21-11, 10:00 AM

blinky88 · 03-21-11, 10:21 AM

myr10 · 03-21-11, 10:23 AM

Both teams are playing like shit, Knicks need this more than boston though.

M.W. · 03-21-11, 10:24 AM

thebestthereis · 03-21-11, 10:35 AM

not sure how you can like the knicks in this spot unless rondo is hurt

GarbageMan · 03-21-11, 10:53 AM

O197.5 the play here

pokerpro44 · 03-21-11, 11:11 AM

GTS925 · 03-21-11, 11:25 AM

Boston is the play here. BOL!

DemoralizdDreamr · 03-21-11, 12:00 PM

Under is too easy, both teams been playing on the road and in some tough games. Should be tired slow start to the game.

I don't think so. Knicks would need to lose pretty much all of their remaining games to get knocked out of the playoff race, and they are facing 50% scrubs 50% playoff contenders until the regular season is over. While they would like to get any win they can (every team not trying to get top lotto pick would), Boston is fighting for home court advantage against the Bulls who just tied their record in the Easts #1 spot. I see that as Celtics needing a win more than the Knicks.

yes

No bet

and since most of the other games are ridiculous 10 point or greater spreads, I think it's a good day to take off. GL if you play this.

face · 03-21-11, 01:11 PM

rondo pisses me off, and carmelo anthony pisses me off. if you want to yell at your tv and piss your girlfriend off by being a dik all night, bet on this game. This is definately the best one for that type of thing. also if you like to smash things.

Avenger · 03-21-11, 02:31 PM

I like the under.

Knicks been shooting like crap, played yesterday, no practice time to correct their bad shooting.

Agree, Celts need this game more and they're shooting like crap too. Rely on Celts to step up on defense when it's a clutch game.... betting they will still shoot crap but win game with good D. Knicks will try to score in the paint tonite, due to their poor shooting yesterday, so betting they won't shoot a lot of 3s and tempo will be slow.

GL. TBH: I'd stay away, both teams been hard to read lately.

jds07v · 03-21-11, 03:24 PM

lean celtics but ain't gonna pull the trigger on this one

JerseyLove · 03-21-11, 03:33 PM

Celtics and the under. You can thank me later. It will be a very low scoring game. It's a Monday night thing guys.

ShogunRua · 03-21-11, 03:34 PM

Pass.

DeeWizzle · 03-21-11, 03:54 PM

Gun to my head, I'd take the knicks +2....

Then I'd take boston mI when the gun wasn't aimed at my head anymore.

tennisjump · 03-21-11, 04:01 PM

I wouldn't bet on the spread, under seems very solid to me.

portnoy65 · 03-21-11, 04:07 PM

Boston play for me

and under

pdprodigy · 03-21-11, 04:08 PM

Today the Knicks will win.

chantrain · 03-21-11, 04:23 PM

Celtics -2, in MSG (where visiting teams tend to play well and the Knicks tend to go barely over 50% for the season)?

This must be a gift. FREE MONEY, people! free money

nbarlotta3 · 03-21-11, 04:25 PM

Idk Knicks play well against good teams.

chantrain · 03-21-11, 04:30 PM

Yeah, but Celtics play defense. I just think the Celtics are a vastly superior team to the Knicks. Boston playing crappy recently is not the same as the Knicks playing crappy recently. the Celtics are just way better.

Even if I lose, I never feel guilty betting on this type of thing because I know its the smart bet. Better teams tend to win. Visiting teams in general tend to win in MSG. Knicks are 19-14 home record this season. They let the CAVS beat them there.

Gtawatson · 03-21-11, 04:49 PM

I would tease this and take the celtics +3.... Celtics won last time they faced and the knicks have been playing terrible since then and playing on the road doesn't seem the phase the celts much....no way they lose this

ya, im staying away from this game. thats the smartest bet

NBA_Brosuf · 03-21-11, 05:05 PM

Knicks and Celtics played 2x this year. Both times, Knicks won by the spread.

Also considering that they won without Carmelo. Now imagine what it would be like with Carmelo. Knicks won by the spread times 10. LOL

Knicks is also 8-2 or something ridiculous like that on a Monday Night game. Also, MSG is a factor.

I'm taking the Knicks +2 and I'm riding her home. Both teams are desperate for a win. Boston to hold onto their #1 seed and Knicks are fighting for a playoff spot. Good luck to both.

hahaha, also if u like to smash things. this game has been a challenge to cap, mostly because both teams can either show, or not show, or 1 and not the other, etc etc. its that time of the year for boston (looking for playoffs), and new york.. they are just an untamed beast- so who knows. bol on what people decide- may put a small wager on the over and hope everybody makes their freethrows tn.
