No such thing.  The only great situation I can think of for the Clippers is for the league to go on strike so they don't have to get embarrased anymore on the basketball court.

nbafan88, you need to review their home schedule this season and then come back and let us know if you feel the same way.

Public percentages are meaningless when it comes to the Boston Celtics!  How many times do I have to say it?  These guys are a square's best friend!

It's not big enough.

I'm waiting for your $75,000 or $100,000 play.



GL with your play.

Teams laying DD on the road have a bad record this season. So it's a good play.

If there were such a place as Squaresville, U.S.A., there would be a statue of KG, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen in the center of town.

masterbator,

I just feel that the clippers will have more motivation for the full 48 minutes and Baron Davis will put in a good performance after being called out. The clippers are underrated. Based on their record yes they are HORRIBLE.. but you can't just look at wins and losses when half the team has been injured the entire season.. we'll see what happens

But......how often do you see these guys try hard?  And how often does their best effort get them anywhere?  Why do people think that the Clippers will be motivated?  And what difference does it really make if they are?  Every team is motivated when Boston comes to town, yet the Celtics have still murdered almost everyone on the road now for over a month.

He's been called out since the first week of the season and still he's mailed it in now for a solid four months.  Why would anyone expect this malcontent to come up big?  Baron Davis is stealing Donald Sterling's money.

No, they're not.  They are exactly what we think they are.

Well we're not here to judge their potential when fully healthy, We're here to size up their chances tonight in their current injury-riddled condition.  And besides, even if they had all their players healthy, Mike Dunleavy would still be their head coach, and therefore they would still SUCK!!

good luck bro on that play you have a 50/50 chance of a backdoor cover.  also with people quoting fading the public thats great when 70 or 80 percet of the people are on them. when 90 percent is on the spread and 96 percent is on the moneyline good luck.  do you really think that 96% of the money is wrong, every sharp, square bettor capped this game totally wrong.  good luck  with that one and hope it wins for you.  maybe vegas knows something and the c's come in tonight shooting nothing but bricks.  nice to see you are betting 30 grand a game and still take the time to share it on here

Nailed it. This is my main reason for backing Boston, which I locked in early this morning at -8. If it were a middle tier but better team that LA Clippers -- say, the Sixers, or maybe Charlotte -- then I could see the rationale. However, nothing I've seen all season leads me to believe Boston will "ease up" and just try to cruise through this one cause its the Clippers.

Boston plays with a mindset to crush EVERYONE in their path. If they can win each game by 20+, they will. They don't let up, period, no matter if it is Cleveland, Orlando, Minnesota, or LA Clippers that they are playing.

Bator is dead on point here -- Boston should be the play. People are overthinking this, trying to get cute, and are gonna get hammered when the Clippers are down 12 at the end of the 1st quarter and then play with the same amount of heart and desire (zero) that they have exhibited this entire season.



.....True well said

But this dude thebest  could be on to something..cause he took Phil +3 in Phil and I said he was crazy.........Celts won on Ray Allen 3.........and the Sixers lost but covered that game............gl tonight....no play for me.........but the Celts roll in this 1...they have a different mind set then most teams.they will roll tonight...hope I'm wrong....get em..it's all love

I just have to shake my head and laugh.  After all I yapped earlier this afternoon, I just took the stinkin' Clippers +11.
 
Come on, guys, I had to do it, I had to!  Any game that opens at -8 and gets bet up three points?  I'm not just going to sit there and do nothing.
 
I actually felt a twinge of temptation when I saw the first +10.5 a couple hours ago.  Then +11 came up and they got me.
