And my wife will not be fucking happy about that. I will officially be shitting my pants tomorrow. I lose and my career is over. Is there any better play?? opinions would be greatly appreciated. Don't even know the line yet, but I think it will be good since they are in Miami who's coming off a win.
threads like this dont end happy.
at least wait until Boston is healthy before betting on them? Wade has showed us he can win games alone. of all picks to take, an injured team vs superman is not the best option. my best advice is to identify a truly horrible team (t-wolves) & find a good spot to fade them.
GL to you...

As crazy as the Celtic's injury situation is, they still have a lot of heart on that club. Miami is nowhere near to being a lock for this game because they rely so much on one player. In the 8 minutes that Wade was out, Miami was outplayed big time by the Bulls and they are not a complete ball club by any means. Wade is going to feel the fatigue from Monday's emotional game, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Celts scrap out a win against a vulnerable Heat team. I don't recommend betting this game, it smells like crap.
I wouldn't risk my bankroll on the injury depleted Celtics playing on the road against an up and down Miami team. Actually none of tonight's NBA games jump out at me. If I had to pick a game to throw my bankrool at tonight, I'd take Texas A&M -6.5 over Texas Tech.
Texas A&M is 23-8 overall, 9-7 in conference, and riding a 6 game winning streak.
Texas Tech is 13-18 overall, 3-13 in conference, has lost 8 of the past 10, and they're 0-11 on the road. (Tonight's game is on a neutral court.)

To be honest, as far ATS plays go, Boston as an underdog is most likely the best value on tonight's NBA card. Pierce and Allen have been obviously stepping up more than usual on both ends of the floor since Garnett went down, and those two will be assigned to defending Wade more than likely. Boston won't have to worry too much about Miami's big men, which would be why Garnett wouldn't be missed as much like for instance against Orlando.
Look at the games they have lost since Garnett went down, mostly teams with a good PF/C combination. Randolf and Camby exploded on them when they played the Clips...
Couple the fact that Boston are on 2 days rest, which is the optimal rest time (enough rest without rust being a factor in the 1st half)... and Miami coming off a double overtime, and you could almost say... a delusional win against Chicago who are putrid on the road. Coming off a win is usually a disadvantage, but coming off a 2OT win like that should be even more so...
Rondo being out will be a factor...but this might be the first game they realize Marbury is a cancer and he'll be lucky to get even 10 minutes of playing time, which will be an added bonus for Boston. They also know better than any other team how to defend a one man show (Lebron for instance). If you do make an all nothing bet like this, its good to do with a team that is really battling for the first seed, hobbled or not.. and have them as an underdog to boot....
But, I really hope you reconsider your options and finding a better way to get through the situation your in....

Hey guys, just got on and read all the comments. I'm scared to take Boston but injured teams step it up alot of times, right? I am thinking of takin it for a nickel and one other nickel... I personally like Gs at home, and I may tail venomous with the over in GS. Trying to scramble here, tip off soon.
