I can't say that <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com
ffice:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1
lace w:st="on">Boston</st1
lace></st1:City> win tonight will surprise me, but still see value in Pistons to win bet. First of all, I believe that they are simply more ready than <st1:City w:st="on"><st1
lace w:st="on">Boston</st1
lace></st1:City> to reach to the Finals and I believe that they are a better team if you compare player to player. That is my opinion at least. But, for them to reach the Finals, they need to win in <st1
lace w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Boston</st1:City></st1
lace> tonight or in Game 7.
There is a chance for <st1:City w:st="on">Boston</st1:City> to win after a tight game, not a small chance even, but I have a strong feeling that if it will be a close game, <st1:City w:st="on"><st1
lace w:st="on">Detroit</st1
lace></st1:City> will find the way to win it in the end. Most chances are that <st1:City w:st="on">Boston</st1:City> will either blow <st1:City w:st="on"><st1
lace w:st="on">Detroit</st1
lace></st1:City> of the floor or lose flat out. I will go with the second option. I'm still waiting for Sheed and Billups to show up to the series. If they will score around 30 – 35 points, it will be very hard for Boston to win this one and believe me, they both are feeling like they are letting the team down and they both love to take responsibility and usually excel under pressure.
<st1:City w:st="on"><st1
lace w:st="on">Boston</st1
lace></st1:City> on the other hand are in trouble I believe. So deep in the series and Doc still searching for the right adjustments and the right line up. Perking or Big Baby? <st1
lace w:st="on">Cassel</st1
lace> or Rondo? Do you try to force Allen to improve or try to hide his offensive slide behind other players? Doc sees the same games that we see and he sees that Celtics are simply not convincing. I feel that <st1:City w:st="on">Detroit</st1:City> can turn the flame any time and make a run for the series, but how many people feel the same way about <st1
lace w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Boston</st1:City></st1
lace>?
I will take <st1:City w:st="on"><st1
lace w:st="on">Detroit</st1
lace></st1:City> to win with great odds with low stakes tonight and hope they do the job. Still, it is more a fun bet + value than a really strong bet to invest in I believe and that is the reason for low units (the high odds are the second reason).
I lean toward Under as well, but if I'm right, we should see decent game from Sheed, Billups and Allen as well, so I'm afraid it can be a very close call, so I will skip this one. Boston Under 90 points maybe got value, still thinking about this one...
