GAME 1
Boston @ Miami
ATS - CELTICS +8.5 (x1.5) LOSS
Boston will go into this series with a fair amount of confidence having beaten Miami in their past 3 encounters. Sure that was only the regular season, post season is a whole different ball game but its 3 zip either way you look at it. Miami will be well rested and ready, while the Celtics had to guts out a win in game 7 to get past the 76ers and be here tonight. This is a big advantage for Miami.
However I see many areas tonight that favour the visitors. Firstly Bosh is still missing, This is huge against an inform KG and hard at it Bass. I see these two guys playing a huge roll for the Celtics tonight whole will now be up against Turiaf and Anthony.... Need I saw more.
Another area and a big factor is at the point. Miami's biggest issue in their 2 year existence as this group has been the ability to stop an elite point guard. Rondo is exactly that! He is in great form posting yet another triple double last start and will be the difference here tonight. His ability to work on Miami's weakness and create the best shot for his team will keep this game close.
Miami clearly has the 2 best players on the court James and Wade. The question is can they carry this team yet again? after 3 outstanding games to wrap up the series against Indiana and plenty of rest maybe? But the Defense of the Celtics is far more superior than that they faced against the Pacers. Allen and Pierce are yet to really get going also.
Alot to like about the Celtics tonight especially getting 8.5pts start. Celtics keep this one close tonight in a low scoring affair.
