CELTICS +1.5 V SAN ANTONIO ***
The celtics are looking fantastic as of late. As I have been saying all season Kendrick Perkins is learning how to be a REAL threat in the post and a lot of this has as much to do with GARNETT's ABSENCE last year as it does with his PRESENCE this year. That and the fact that the celtics have a new big man coach added recently who has been working with Perk.Combine that with San Antonio's inability to play for an entire game, and their weak Frontcourt (no offense But Duncan is on his way out..)
Also I am a firm believer in taking a look at what sort of competition the team has been playing prior to their matchup with an elite team. The Spurs have won 5 straight against bum teams, 3 of which have sub 500 records the other two are Houston and Milwaukee (who is actually a lil better than average.)
The celtics are going to thrust and bust all over the slow Spurs team whose bench is also not as deep as boston.
Looking on the other hand , the celtics have not had the ROUGHEST go at it, however they did Beat MIAMI at in MIAMI and a tough tough Charlotte team which they smacked in their crib.
The celtics boast their own 5 gamer coming into san antonio and I think they win tonight 100- 88
