ARE YOU KIDDING ME?....NO WALKER AND BUCKS ONLY MINUS TWO...WITHOUT WALKER YOUR ALMOST MISSING A DOUBLE DOUBLE IN POINTS AND BOARDS...YOU ALSO ALLOWING THE DEFENSE TO FOCUS ON PIERCE A LOT MORE...UNLESS SOMEONE STEPS UP FOR THE C'S THIS COULD GET UGLY EARLY..

I KNOW WHEN A KEY PLAYER GOES OUT WE TEND TO PUT TOO MUCH INTO HIS LOSS AND THE TEAM OFTEN FOCUS' MORE AND PLAYS AS A TEAM....BUT THIS CELTS TEAM IS THIN AS IT IS...BATTIE OUT/DELK HURTING...BREMER HAS STEPPED UP NICELY AND THEY ARE ON A NICE LITTLE RUN BUT I THINK YOUR ASKING WAY TOO MUCH FROM THIS TEAM TO WIN TONGHT WITHOUT WALKER...

NOT TOO MENTION PRIOR TO LAST SAT WIN AT MILWAK THIS WAS A TOUGH MATCHUP FOR THE C'S AS THE ROSTERS WERE...

1.) BUCKS MINUS 2

I'm not big on revenge in the NBA except when its one of these quick rematches like tonight. Hopefully Walker's replacement will not step it up tonight.

IM NOT BIG ON THE REVENGE ANGLE MYSELF VALUIST...BUT WITH SUCH A RECENT LOSS AT HOME THAT MAY BE A FACTOR..IT CERTAINLY CANT HURT THE BUCKS EFFORT...

IM TRYING TO PICTURE EXACTLY WHO ON THE CELTS CAN FILL WALKERS ROLE TONIGHT...

WALKER IS AVG. 21.8 POINTS PER GAME AND 7.5 REBOUNDS..I WOULD IMAGINE THAT WILLIAMS WILL GET A LONGER LOOK THAN USUAL TONIGHT...AND TRY TO SET UP SOME MATCHUP PROBLEMS...BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT PIERCE HAS TOO HAVE MONSTER GAME TONIGHT...AND SOMEONE HAS TO FILL WALKERS ROLE...WHICH IS A LOT EASIER SAID THAN DONE

I dont see anybody on the Celts doing anything. I agree with you cooz. I think milwaukee will pull this one out. I think just the presense of Walker not being there will hurt the Celtics. I can see the Bucks taking advantage of it. I think the only reason its so low is its in boston. Im talking Milwaukee, but very small.

good luck

I strongly agree. Pierce will play his usual game, but can you imagine the great comeback versus Philly without Walker??? Boston had a close call in beating the Bucks on Saturday and without Walker the line is only 2 . . . The Bucks should play well and finish what they couldn't do Saturday. The under is a slight lean also.

I believe Vegas is banking on the hot play of the Celts and their no quit attitude, as long as Charles Barkley keeps his mouth shut tonight and doesn't add fuel to the Celtics fire the Bucks should be a nice play.

gutsy performance by the c's ...everytime bucks started to pull away they would go on a little run....the threes were flying....but in the end they just didnt have enough without walker...

They should be able to take care of business with the Nuggets without banging the 3's. Ball controll, better rotation, see a game in the 170's. And they dont want to get into a running game with the Magic. JMHO


GL & Nice call!!!!!!!!!!
