Pacers +3 1/2 2 units. Carib, 5 Dimes, Tradewinds.
Keeping plays midrange at first, better to put the toe in water, than dive in and crash my head into a rock or break neck n shallows. Reggie's last hurrah, and he seems to be 100% it for the last go round. Like the way Indy came together after horrible incident in Motown. They actually were right there with Motown to win the East last year, and had a great surge late. Did very well early in playoffs. Came out of gate strong. Celtics, well, they were just woeful, getting swept with zero competitive games. Sure some players in and out. But to me Artest stunk it up in the playoffs. Indy looked like World Champs until they hit the defensive wall of Motown. Let me assure you, the Celtics have no defense, none that resembles Motown's. I feel we have a nice coaching matchup, something you always have to take into consideration. Some coaches just do not do well at the next level. But what I desire my playoff teams to have, experience and defense. Indy has both. Also, if a series price bettor, I would look at Indy +1.10. If Indy did not have a huge chunk of season taken away by brawl do you think they would be a dog in this series?
