Look at their record. You don't go undefeated against East teams at home unless your pretty good. Cleveland matches up very well with Boston.
Pierce and Lebron is a slight edge to Bron
Perkins and Z is a slight edge to Z
Rondo versus Mo is a slight edge to Mo but close to a push.
Ray Allen versus Delonte is what is undervalued. West defends Allen very well.
Powe/Big Baby versus Wallace/Verajao edge Boston. Andy is banged up and Wallace is just returning and doesn't have his legs yet.
Bench slight advantage to Cleveland as their shooters shoot better at home.
Not having Garnett is a huge loss for the C's. The Cav's defense can stop all of Boston's players except Pierce. He will get his points but expect Ray to struggle and they will force Rondo to be a jump shooter. I expect Boston to score less than 90 points here.
Just noticed ur post. We had the same thoughts and conclusion.

So Cavs win 3 key match ups and Celts win 1. Factor in home court Cavs will win. 3 pts go to home court and the match up advantages more than covers the 3pt differnce for -6. Gonna pound the Cavs hard
Great minds think alike
I will say that Pierce has probably been more consistent than Lebron the last 5 or 6 games they've played but very close. Lebron has been better on the road but has sucked in Boston. Pierce seems to bring it every time.
TSOP - the C's are looking past this game despite what you think. Doc will rest his guys early into the 4th quarter after the shellacking they will get up to that point.

T's bias for the Celts is going to bury him, just like my bias for the Nuggets

Going with Cavs, looks pretty easy
Cavs should of beat Boston last year in layoffs and that was with Garnett.

Up to +8 on BetJamaica now. Celtics locked into the 2nd seed and Cavs looking to clinch the best record over the Lakers.

Boston will play well today. Doc Rivers could fuk it up. But the Celtics are the play. If KG were healthy, I would take the ML.

There is NEVER (NEVER!) a game that Boston plays against Cleveland that is "meaningless". Especially right before the playoffs start to make a statement in the toughest arena to play at currently in the NBA.
Very silly statement, fukkin preposterous.
First quarter says enough so I don't even need to get into this quote. Cant bet with your heart brotha, the Celtics don't pay your bills. Die hard laker fan here but I wouldn't dare pick them against Memphis tonight cause the game doesn't mean squat to them.
