After getting smoked yesterday and having one of our worst weeks of the year, the PHATLINE looks to start the week with a big win. Boston, which went a league-best 31-10 in away games during the regular season, has dropped all four of its road games so far in this post season, a potentially disturbing trend for a team aiming to win it all. A perfect 6-0 inside noisy TD Bank North Garden so far in these playoffs, the Celtics dropped to 0-4 on the road Saturday night with a 108-84 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, who trimmed Boston's lead to 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.
BOSTON +2 vs Cleveland
Ben Wallace still has the virus and Anderson Varejo with a banged up knee. As we had the Big Ticket having a big game in game 3, he should step it up and have a big game tonight. Ray Allen is to good of a player to keep having a bad series and I look for him to break out of the bad shooting streak. Boston has the second stingiest defense in the league at 90.3 points per game.
2008 BASKETBALL SEASON 56-43-1
