    Boston Isn't Losing Gm5
    Woah crazy prediction. Should be a DD win, so -5.5 is a good play, but then -235 is nothing at all to pay in this situation. Boston has had 3 days to think about blowing game 4, 3 days to grasp the importance of this game in what could be their last run.

    This is a year Boston "has it", like 08 and 10. Game 3 shows what happens when they focus up. Game 2 in ATL w/o Rondo, down DD in the 4th and won. Major statement games to show the capability of this team. It's another must win situation here, playing at home vs. a Sixers team with little experience that isn't ready for this against such a veteran team that will be more focused than ever.

    Since 08 Boston in the playoffs is
    33-9 (79%) SU at home
    23-7 (77%) SU after loss
    16-1 (94%) SU at home after loss
    6-0 (100%) SU at home in game 5
    6-0 (100%) SU at home after losing last home game

    -235 implies 70%. I'd honestly say no less than a 90% chance to win

    Wow great stats and as a Sixers fan I agree with you. Boston takes this one but I don't know if it will be a blow out win.

        Never count out the heart of an individual or team. You saw what happened Friday night. See what the 76ers can cook up tomorrow. So far I've liked the food.

          In all honesty, those stats don't really mean anything. This is a new season, those other Celtics teams since '08 aren't the same team as this one. And this Celtics team isn't as good as the 76ers team they're facing. Philly will go into Boston and win game 5. They have more heart and they want the game more. Those clowns that make up the Celtics roster don't know a damn thing about winning in the postseason. They're also scared of Philly. That's already been proven.

          76ers run away with this one late.

                    Great Avatar. I don't care about the stats, as most of them are irrevelant, but you never know which Sixers team is going to show up. If this goes down to the last second like the first couple of games did, I don't know how I will be able to stand it.

                      It's funny how perception works. When the Sixers play a good game it is just looked at as Philly playing a good game but when Boston plays a good game like game 3, all of a sudden they are back. Here's the bottomline, the Celtics ******* suck and will lose this series unless the Sixers choke it off or the refs jam in in their arse.

                        I am not expressing an opinion on the game, but those stats are completely meaningless. Scam artist websites like covers, and scam artist touts like Brandon Lang provide numbers like that to make you feel confident, but in reality they are completely irrelevant. There are about 16-20 men who are going to step on the court to play basketball tonight, those matchups are the only things you should consider when determining your bet.

                            What the hell did I just read? Surely you guys must be trolling.

                            The Sixers definitely have a shot tonight, they are young, athletic, and deep, and for those same reasons they have a very real chance at winning the series. That being said, what you guys posted is complete and utter nonsense. C's scared of the Sixers? C's not the better team? Please, let me have some of what you're smoking

                                    Both bad teams with no offense or rebounding will get smoked by the Pacers in 5 whoever wins.

                                      .. so, it's not about the ref's who are going to step on the court?

                                      BOS ml. zig-zag.

                                              Sorry, my post was addressing all 3 posts. My bad.

                                              They certainly look shaky, but Rondo is playing better than ever and KG for the most part is looking like he did 5+ years ago. If Pierce and Allen can get healthy (BIG if), I'd say this team is as good or better than the 08 team.

                                              That being said, their health has always and will always be the concern. I definitely don't expect Philly to back down

                                                I don't see them losing tonight either. They seem to own this series now. The odds for this game and the series are basically the same though so I took the series and went very large at -225.

                                                    baskets will have something to say if the celtics lose, thats a definite lock.

                                                          Home court and bounce back are significant, and SU trends show it better than ATS. Boston is only 10-7 ATS at home after a loss, compared to 16-1 SU.

                                                          You get all these games like 08 game 5 vs Cavs where Boston was -9 and leading by 11 3 mins left, only won by 7. Did they bounce back? Not by ATS cause of a back door, but in reality they were well in control entire 2nd half. SU is all Boston cares about

                                                          Yepyep trolls SU trends mean nothing when 4/5 starters + coach have been the same for 5 seasons. Yep Sixers are the much better team

How do you know that Brand, Iguodala, Lou Williams, Holliday, Turner have more heart than the Celtics squad? You also know that Boston is scared of Philly?? Your ammazing man, you must make a lot of money on this game.

                                                                    Maybe the Sixers win...I don't know yet because the game hasn't been played and my crystal ball is on the fritz. But to me it seems like your making a lot of assumptions there.

                                                                      celtics are winning this game. Paul Pierce was really hobbled the first couple of games in boston, and this team has always risen to the occasion when their backs are against the wall (last season was different because rondo was playing with 1 arm). It's actually ridiculous how well they perform in crunch time. we've seen it time and time again over the past 5 years.

                                                                      The celtics are known to get calls anyways against a majority of teams (except maybe Heat/lakers), especially at home. I don't like the line at -5.5 because of how close the games have been, but i'd be comfortable saying the celtics win by 4.

                                                                      The celtics let up and played stupidly (horrible turnovers) and the crowd played a big factor in the sixers comeback in game 4. 9/10 Iguodola isn't hitting all those clutch 3s.

                                                                      ML is a great bet. i preferred to buy it down to -3.5 and get -150.

                                                                      The sixers are a bunch of kids mostly. experience will prevail
