Boston/Miami

[yak merchant]

Okay, I know. Boston sucks on the road. I know Miami is traditionally good at home. I know Miami is on a nasty losing streak and are going to play really hard. That being said, my numbers have Boston beating the crap out of Miami. I don't pretend to know the NBA that good, anyone that does want to share some insight.

Yak, certainly not going to claim I know the NBA that well, but I honestly think this is a pretty good spot for Miami. They've had a couple days rest and a handful of their losses were without a healthy Alonzo Mourning -- which makes a big difference. If Mourning is fully recovered from his food poisoning (and I'm not for sure if that's the case or not) I could easily see him dominating this soft Boston middle. The fact that the Celts are ALWAYS terrible on the road and that they are mostly a 3-point "gunning" kind of a team has me playing Miami tonight. This certainly isn't to say this is the "right" play, but thought I'd try to present a case for the other side. Good luck all
