Wow, what an incredibly random theory.

But if it works . . .

 

[brewer]

whatever works.

 

[Joe Public]

Random question, how do you pronounce "Acela"?

 

[brewer]

a cell uh is how i say it when i read it. funny word. funny trend.

 

[Smokedawg]

count me as skeptical

i mean for this year at least...it stands to reason that most teams would beat the knicks and lose to the celtics, right? I dont think its because the celtics were trying any harder to avenge the knicks honor or whatever the fuck theyre supposed to be doing...

 

[Throwback420]

I liked Boston b4 this like it even more now lol

 

[Satyr]

You mean you just hate the Spurs even more now Throw

Boston went from -1 to +1 on pinny pretty damn fast.

 

[catfood]

Is Boston still a good play, somebody tell me, Ive never watched a complete b-ball game in my life.

The theory (trend) does NOT qualify for today's game. Being that the Spurs didn't cover vs. the Knicks makes it irrelevant. The theory states that no team has covered B2B games (ATS) in 23 straight tries now.

[Retburj13]

not saying to base play solely on this angle but it is a fun fact

cap the game like every other game....

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]"In fact, the league is 0-9 ATS (-8.4 ppg) since March 6th 1996 in Boston after beating the Knicks in New York. Similarly, the league is 0-10 ATS (-9.2 ppg) since January 20th 1997 in New York after beating the Celtics in Boston!"

so it should qualify today, it does not say that they have to win and cover the first game, just win

SA didnt cover at NYY, so the theory doesn't apply, right?

Its only if the team wins the 1st game of the trip ATS, they lose the 2nd.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]"It seems as if New York and Boston have a pact – unspoken or other otherwise – that no team will sweep them consecutively. If a team beats the Knicks in New York, the Celtics go all out to prevent the 2-0, New York – Boston sweep. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Similarly, if a team beats the Celtics in Boston, the Knicks “pick them up” by playing significantly above the linesmakers expectations. This “agreement” has been going on for quite some time. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]It does not say that they have to loose the first game ats, just that they have to loose so the play is celtics today
