NBA TODAY PLAYOFFS (5/21)

Question

YTD (NBA PLAYOFFS):  0-0&#xA;Figured why not post the first NBA postseason play on the 21st. Been watching and sprinkling a bit here and there. Would be great to have a positive thread but as I know a lot of that is predicated on winning. So here we go&#x2026;&#xA;BOSTON FH (-6):  I know many people like the under and for good reason. My general feeling is that the experience the Celtics have will come into play especially early, but I do think in this full game too. Scoring isn&#x2019;t the issue for Boston it has been defense when they have struggled. IF they can control the pace, they should win this with ease. I am confident they will come out knowing they will be able to outrun the Pacers but I think they will want to ensure they clamp down on the defensive end out the gate. I think Halliburton is excellent but he is prone to bad offensive stretches and I&#x2019;d imagine White, who is a good defender, will be guarding him for Boston. I prefer the first half tonight and if I played quarters would probably back Boston there too. Full game at 10 points is, at least in my opinion pretty sharp but then again at this juncture in the playoffs I expect most the lines to be. &#xA;I also appreciate the full post season rosters and motivation vs load management which makes successfully betting the NBA regular season more challenging especially this past year.  As always, tail or fade good luck to all&#x2026;

@LAGameofInches&#xA; Always appreciate your insights and wish you luck.  I still like the full game side with Boston.  They played 2 series at 5 games each, and the Pacers have played a 6- and a 7-game series.  Celtics are on 6 days rest and Indiana only 2.

Thanks everyone .&#xA;I also don&#x27;t see them losing the FG but so many people seem to be backing Boston and I&#x27;m guessing, as stated above, the spreads are as tight as ever, so would hate a backdoor type of cover.  Regardless, I stand behind Boston and their experience.&#xA;Good luck to everyone here&#x27;s to a profitable day, collectively.
