Just started handicapping game #4 and it's obvious the oddsmakers expect Boston to get rolled tomorrow. However, Billups is still hurting. Prince has been playing like crap and why would Boston not show up when a win guarantees them a shot in the NBA Finals??? Detroit doesn't have a legit answer for Garnett and Perkins was dominating in game #3.

Boston was SO bad on the road for SO long. Their first road cover of the playoffs might help this team's confidence and I wouldn't be shocked if they pull off the SU win tomorrow night. Interested in other's thoughts.

Tough series to cap. If Ray Allen would do ANYTHING on offense, and if they keep Big Baby on the bench, I think Boston can both win at home and cover on the road.

Big Baby is horrid and Allen continues to be a liability. I think Pistons win Game 4, just don't know by how much.

The NBA is scripted about as much as one would think. Take SA, lose by 30 the previous game and come home and win by 20.....50 point swing. Are you kidding? With that said, it is Detroit or nothing for me. Detroit will win the game, perhaps just a ML play.

Good luck.

Can't argue with that. Boring script.

Detroit ML or nothing.

This is a hefty #. I do know Bos has their confidence back and Det has no answer for the ticket. If prince shows up than Det wins big. Prince is the the denominator of this team. Lean to under.

Pierce has shut prince off completely. Pierce shut James down in previous series. Very underrated defensively. Hard to handicap game with Mr. Big shot health up in the air.

Actually Allen is solid on D,hes great at FT shooting,yes hes been in a slump shooting wise lately,but a liability is a stretch IMO.
