***KNOCKOUT PUNCH OF THE DAY***
It is absolutely mind boggling to me how a team can totally dominate the boards and shoot 80% from the charity stripe compared to their opponent's 62% and yet when the final buzzer sounds you look up at the scoreboard and realize that team LOST by DOUBLE DIGITS!! Yes, I am talking about New Orleans last night!! So frustrating and my POD run in the Playoffs has been horrible but tonight it changes with a HUGE anti-public team - BOSTON!! The Celts just split games at home and have an injury list that continues to grow and yet tonight finds themselves as ONLY a 3 point DOG!! And let's not forget this line actually opened at 1.5!! But why?? Why such a soft line especially given the fact that the injuries keep mounting for the Celts and they just struggled at home in a 2-game stand and easily could have found themselves down 0-2 coming into tonight - but why did oddsmakers make Chicago such a soft fave on their own home floor?? The answer is simple!! It's called "the heart of a champion"!! Because the Bulls were so competitive on the road the public sentiment has quickly shifted in favor of the Bulls. The Bulls, who opened up as a huge series dog, are now the public "favorite". EVERYONE has written off the Celts but NOT ME!! I look for Pierce and Allen to step and have huge nights and to re-gain control of this series with a huge road win!! I am all over Boston - MY PREDICTION: BOSTON 105 DA BULLS 92
