No McGrady, No Problem! Boston losses another one! Losers of 6 of their last 8!

[PO69]

And most of these losses were not by teams that you would expect could come within 10 points of Boston!

Houston wins by 4
Charlotts wins by 8
Knicks win by 12
Portland wins by 5 without Roy
Golden State wins by 10
Lakers win by 9



Then even their 2 wins were not that impressive. They managed to beat Washington and a real bad Sacramento team

It doesnt get much easier for Boston.


Now they have to travel to Cleveland and then play a home-in-home series against a suddenly tough Toronto team. I could see 3 losses here as a definite possibility

cleveland will be a fun game.

 

[PO69]

I would think that Boston will be around +6 in that game. I may take Boston, but I dont think that they can actually win the game

I've been looking forward to this Cavs-Boston game and also the Cavs visiting the Lakers a week from Monday more than any other regular season NBA games in a long time. I'll be in Vegas the weekend before the Lakers game, then am going to that one when I get back. Can't wait.

I think Z being out for Cleveland changes things a bit since the Cavs had been getting hammered on the boards lately (until the rout of Charlotte). I don't know if the Cavs have enough bigs to rebound well against Boston, and when they get outrebounded, they struggle.

PO69 is right..the line will probably be Cleveland giving 6 or so. If the Cavs were at full strength, I'd be all over them since they've been waiting for this game for a long time. I think the Cavs will still win, but it'll come down to the free throw shooting at the end for whether they cover the points...

swings in the NBA.. I like Boston to match up well with Cleveland and keep it close

 

[queposkid]

with these losses mounting..Marbury to Celts becomes more and more a possibility..

 

[FeelTheTruth]

Can't imagine the line being as high as 6... no chance IMO... 3 sounds about right

 

[PO69]

The line will be higher than 4 for sure
