    I say Celts win, but I’m not that confident.

            Does it matter?
            They will lose to Milwaukee
            Celtics will do what they always do in the playoffs

                  you can only hold Durant back so long before he explodes for a 40+ game

                  rare to see him shooting poorly past couple outings

                  Nets win

                    First of all
                    Brooklyn only has Kyrie and Durant
                    And kyrie has been in space and Durant mediocre
                    As for mil they play as a team
                    So does the my heat if u get past mil
                    Obviously all of Boston thinks they are the best team
                    But they are in for a rude awakening
                    Tatum chokes a lot
                    Just like they think mac jones is a good qb
                    Highly overrated

                      So you don’t notice the lockdown D that they having been playing and all the league is talking about?

                      Milwaukee plays a team game yes, but they don’t have the 1-2 super stars like the Nets and the Celts have them razzled.

                          And the last half of the year no one has played better especially on the defensive end.

                          Some talking heads are even saying they could be the best defensive team ever.

                            Wow..
                            They look good to the league Bc Brooklyn has been overhyped all year
                            All u have to do is double Durant
                            Mil has shooters when Giannis isn’t driving
                            A big man w Lopez who yes thinks he’s a three pt specialist but better than what Brooklyn has

                                Anyone who says that
                                With the way the basketball league in general play defense doesn’t know sports
                                It’s a different game now
                                Give me pj tuckers defense anyday over any of Boston defenders
                                Plus Steve Nash bad coach
                                Doesn’t know his ass from
                                His elbow

                                  Ill be the first to say Miami isn’t the best team they ever had or close
                                  Adebayo takes off games
                                  Overrated
                                  Butler only shows up in playoff’s but shouldn’t get the ball in the last min of games
                                  Spoelstra not a hood coach etc
                                  But one injury changes everything
                                  But Boston is a good team
                                  Not great
                                  And why didn’t Udoka take out Pritchard after he played so well first half?

                                      The most accurate post here. These guys are done.

                                      Maybe Kyrie can argue with someone about how he’s set for life after the sweep.

                                      Maybe KD can tell us all it’s “just hoop” and people don’t know the game like he does.

                                      Maybe Ben Simmons can… well, just retire man.

                                        Miami/Boston should be the ECF and will be a good one.

                                            I agree. Both teams play stifling defense. That would be a dog fight of a series. Ali/Frazier.

                                            Still hard for me to count the Bucks out just yet though. A part of me says they're extremely overrated but they are the defending champs.

                                                Do you really think Kyrie wants to go back to Boston??? To endure all that heat? Hell no. Kyrie is done. He won't show up tonight. Not happening. I'll be surprised if he scores double digits tonight.

                                                  Line is basically a pick
                                                  Nobody knows who is going to win

                                                  Why everyone here broke

                                                    Public sentiment seems to be shifting. I have to side with the Nets at pk odds

                                                      Still hard for me to count the Bucks out just yet though. A part of me says they're extremely overrated but they are the defending champs.
                                                      They are not getting past Boston without a healthy Middleton. I don't think Boston is giving them easy open looks all day like Chicago has.

                                                        No, it’s in Brooklyn.

                                                          Agreed. Bettors seeking value may already see it in Brooklyn but as that line drops it will only increase the value.

                                                          Boston has gone from the moneyline nobody wants in the Foster thread to the public taking them on the road against the Nets.

                                                          I think the shift has happened.

                                                          Even with the matchups and recent performance, different levels of percentage stacking "sharp" Forecasts vary but do see a Nets win.

                                                          My non predictive public gauge shows Boston winning by 5 points.

                                                          I don't know who will win, this game is loaded, but the environment for the Nets is developing there. For what it's worth.

                                                          I think this is why they are a slight favorite, the books like the way they have split the money and I think they didn't mind generating some Boston action early, and as that action gains traction, they will start seeking those Nets bettors.

                                                          I think we saw a similar mechanism at work in the Phoe/NO series.

                                                          Good Luck whatever you bet.

                                                            The Celtics line has steamed down a full point from +2 to +1. I get the sense that the Celtics are all-in on this game. They need to get rest for players like Robert Williams, they don't want to have to deal with an upgraded Nets defense if Ben Simmons is back for games 5-7, and they don't want to open up a window for the Kyrie and KD to figure out the Celtics defense and make the series close.

                                                            OTOH, the Celtics are super public, on the road, and pretty close in value to the Nets. I'm leaning toward a small bet on Boston, but at only +1 I may just lay off.

                                                            Just my opinion...

                                                              Good thoughts Ian ^^^.

                                                              I think you have a grasp of this game and the situation, whatever you choose to bet.

                                                              That is my opinion.

                                                                  Point of seeking rest is still valid though. It's a broader point and often considered by bettors.

                                                                  Tough to turn it into a predictive metric though.

                                                                  Sort of off topic but I have been saying that when it comes to capping the NBA, especially the long regular season, it can be more about capping the percentage chance a player even plays.

                                                                  This is the new forefront of NBA capping as load management becomes a thing. There are sophisticated bettors and models that are beginning to work on regressions here.

                                                                  Note they manage load regular season, but expand the playoffs for more games, like the play in tourney.

                                                                  lol
