Damn you guys really base a decision on stat sites listing fouls??? I mean I can see the thinking, but lets face it rare is the coach that lets his star player get 4 fouls in a first half. That just about never happens, I would have taken it with a grain of salt.
My thinking on Boston is they are cooked. I think they aren't playing for the coach. How can they be tired when they didn't give even 10% in Portland??? Seattle lost a game they led most of the way on a bad break where the shooter had his toe on the line, or else they would have had a chance in OT. Teams that lose a game like that usually have a tough time coming out the next night, yet the Sonics took it to them early and late. That is a very poor sign on a team, if you can't come out with pride after a whipping against a team that figures to be somewhat emotionally drained that is very telling.

WildBill, I posted about the Celtics a couple days ago. I think they're one of the worst 3 teams in the NBA...fade them, fade them, fade them!
Boston lines are inflated because of their history, tradition, and recent playoff wins.
They were +5 @ Portland and Boston. In 2-3 weeks, it would be more like +10. Fade the Celtics now before the value is gone.
