Chugg- you are a respectful capper who knows his sh1t - but i was curious to know your reasoning behind the Celts at home? Although I agree that Boston should win by 10+, looking at their last 10 - and excluding the teams they should beat by DD -
they really haven't blown the quality ones out by 10. (look at PHX at home, Tor isn't bad, and Hou.) I'm just wondering if this is a trap game. A healthy Terry, Nowitzki, Howard, Kidd, and Dampier

Also, with the Avgs (use them or not) - they speak volumes. Will Bos Def show up and limit Dallas or will Dallas never find their shooting???

Last stat - Bos with 2 days rest (5-2 ATS) - Dallas with 1 day rest (13-15 ATS) Both teams have a 14-9 ATS (Bost at HM) and (Dal on Road)..
Seems fishy - you still all over them huh? GL to ya!
