Rookiees Celtics/piston Write-up

[THE_ROOKIEEE]

Game 3 For This Eastern Conference Matchup Where The Series Is Split One Game Each.....so Far In These Playoffs Boston Hasnt Shown No Consistency Compared To How Their Regular Season Went....they Have Gone To Game 7 In Both Of The 1st Two Rounds Against Mediocre Atlanta And Cleveland Probably Only Getting This Far Due To Home Court Advantage....i Absolutely Know They Wouldnt Be Here Today If It Werent For That Being They Havent Won A Road Game In These Playoffs Yet.... Seems Out Of Character For Them As They Closed The Last 2 Months Of The Regular Season On The Road Going 11-2 Su / 10-3 Ats... So Thursdays Loss Should Be Their Wake Up Call As It Was The First Home Loss In These Playoffs... The Compition Has Figured Out That If You Stop One Of The Big 3 Then You Have A Pretty Good Shot At Beating These Celtics...that Guy Has Been Ray Allen....he Has Been Absolutely A Missing Part Only Averaging 13.3 In This Playoffs ( Im Sure The 25 Pts Thurs Help That Out A Lil) Compared To His 17.4 Season Average...his Season 3pt (40%) Is Down In These Playoffs As Well(32.4%)...on The Road He Is Averasging 14.6 But In The Last Series Against A Better Defense In Cle He Only Averaged 11 Points In Those 3 Games.... I Will Say This And That Is This Game Will Be Decided By One Player And That Will Be Mr. Allen....now How Will Detroit Play This Game At Home Where They Have Won Their Last 5 Losing Only In The Opening Game Of The Playoffs To Philly...will They Play The Tempo In Which They Won Thurs Allowing Allen To Score 25 Or Will They Play The Defensive Game In Which They Allowed Him Only 9 In A Losing Effort In The Paint....my Guess Is That They Are At Home And Will Play Both Depending On The Game As They Have Many Weapons To Play Different Tempos Of The Game...but Like I Said Earlier In This Write-up ...the Compitition Is Getting Better And Home Court Will Not Be As Easy As It Has Been.... Philly And Orlando Are In The Same Class As Atlanta And Cleveland....my Take On This Game Is That Despite The Loss ,boston Knows It Can Win In Detroit As They Have Already Beat These Pistons In January By The Score Of 92-85... Although Detroit In This Series Has A 4-1 Record At Home Over The Last 3 Seasons...it Is The Celtics That Hold The 4-1 Ats Advantage...the Dog Has Covered 6 Of 8...and Roadies In This Series Have Covered 8 Of 10...detroit May Very Well Win This Game But History Has Shown That The Celtics Play Them Tough.... Im Going To Go Out On A Limb And Take These Celtics, Hoping They Can Find The Road Magic They Had Before These Playoffs Started, Rebound From Thurs Loss....and Maybe Steal A Victory Against The Now Somewhat Over-confident Pistons...... Look For This Game To Go Under The Total Again As Boston Has Been Slowing The Game Down After They Score 90+ In These Playoffs....

FINAL SCORE

BOSTON ~~~ 86
DETROIT ~~~ 85

4**** BOSTON +5
2*** BOS/DET UNDER 176
