Boston/Detroit
Boston +6
Although they have had trouble winning on the road in the playoffs don't forget that the Celtics were great on the road in the regular season. The win in game three was enormous as all of the pressure now squarely sits with the Pistons. Rodney Stucky has been a superstar for the Pistons but its the Celtics that have gotten better bench play of late overall. Doc Rivers ran a superb game plan and got everyone involved and helped guards bust the press with back court screens. Boston is now 34-16 ATS after a win by 10 points or more this season. The Pistons showed zero motivation in the second half and gave up when they needed to standup. The Pistons again exhibited why they are 2-13 ATS in the Conference Finals over the last three seasons. They have a history of falling down after a bad performance as noted by 15-30 ATS after scoring 35 points or less in the first half last game.Boston has covered last 20 of 28 contests as underdogs and 6-0 against the number when priced at 5-to 10.5 points and they will get my money tonight.
p.s. Take time today to remember the troops fighting today and the ones that gave the ultimate sacrifice. GOD Bless.
