Defense won tonight.

Only time C’s have put b2b strong performances together was gm6 and 7 against bucks (not counting the punk ass nets series), good time for it. Kinda kicking myself for not playing Heat knowing that. More pissed off I didn’t know about Williams being out in time to jump on what turned out to be the easiest bet, Bam props! said that the minute @King Slap said Robert Williams was out, knew it be Bam time, nobody else on Boston can check him. This series quickly becoming a battle of attrition with so many key pieces on both sides banged up!

Assuming heat can manage Jimmy buckets knee to get 30-35 min a night out of him going forward I really think this series will be decided on whether Robert Williams can play. Granted we gotta assume if Williams remains out C’s will surely come up with a different strategy to deal with Bam but that gonna turn him back into a playmaker like he was in one their regular season meetings late in year when Williams didn’t play and bam went 17-12-8. With nobody else on the roster who can check Bam by themselves Boston will have to dedicated more defensive scheme to limiting Him, it gonna open everyone else up as I think Bam a underrated playmaker. Of course Bam does inexplicably disappear at times but think he will remain aggressive anytime he doesn’t see Williams on the court.

Scott Foster the series extender AND Kane Fitz the biggest homer (I think he's undefeated ATS this postseason) in Boston tonight.

This is no coincidence.

So is it safe to lay the big number? Fuckers making it tough. I’d really like to know Robert Williams is playing to lay this.
 
All I see for Robert Williams is questionable, if he is out I love Bam assist over 2.5. Gotta assume if Williams doesn’t play Boston will have a much different defensive game plan for bam (especially with butler hobbled) but I think that would turn him into playmaker/distributor. 3 dimes for Bam would be gravy imo.
 
Bam double double is +125, hard to see him not getting the boards necessary

DK has Bam assists o3.5 +135

Sounds like Rob in Marcus out. You’ll never have a better random than those 2 but yeah line is huge.

I’m not sure who is more important to C’s in general but this series I think it Williams by a mile. As you see Boston looks like the way more imposing team when Robert Williams plays, Bam goes back to being invisible. He plays Boston takes the series, he misses games and I have doubts.

100%

D White and Pritchard are fine.

They have no rim protection without Rob.
 
another day of just waiting to make sure Robert Williams can play. He plays im taking Boston, he can’t go and I dunno if I’ll bet heat or just pass.,,

Me too. Hope so, gotta go to old lady kids graduation tonight so I had to go ahead and get my bets in when I went to play baseball. Put C’s ml in RR with my pitcher props. Looks like both those gonna cash so will have Boston to cash couple parlays. I really hate playing these fuckers to win b2b games but just think heat too banged up. I’ll prob check my phone and they be down 20 in 1st damn qrtr. Lol
 
Whew. Barely got 16 outs from Urias! Walks guy to start 5th, then single, then another hit, kept thinking after every guy got on they were gonna yank him before getting the out we needed! Lol
 
One of the other threads has the goods on all the twitter jargon, only an announcer and a therapist had to stay in Boston

Gambling site please site your sources to come in with last minute game changing "news"

I think the line movement was all about the hot twit shit that had everyone abuzz today about players missing the game but I haven't seen one source that's said as much

I hope your correct. I really want to see full strength. And I want to take the Heat lol
 
Line movement is due to money and the fact that Smart and Bob are feeling good and likely to play and Herro is probably not going to play. Basically every 1 point player ATS is favoring Celtics and going against Heat.
 
I don’t even think Bam matters long as Robert Williams plays. I’m pretty much convinced it just comes down to Boston giving effort, the problem is they often lack that after a win. I can’t freaking believe they would seriously get down 20-30 points ever in this series if they gave a shit.
 
Be nice to finally get a competitive game: guess I don’t care long as I win my bet but it’s going on 2 weeks now since a game has kept my interest. Don’t think I’ve watched more than 15-20 min total of the conf finals, combined.
 
Have never seen a Conference Finals lined like this.

The Game 5 home team off a loss in this round has been pure money but they’ve never been dogged.

That being said this is an absolute must-win for the Celtics. They will not win a Game 7 in Miami.
 
How bad was the shooting? Miami had 19 offensive rebounds, took *23* more shots than the Celtics, but only scored 80 points.
