Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers
Boston so far with 7 – 0 record in the playoff at Boston. All runs stop sooner or later and it is always a surprise and tonight we might witness another one. First of all, Celtics trio are bunch of losers and even their biggest fans can't really argue against that (they are great players and I really like each of them, but they still losers). The addition of Cassel was the final stamp for me to tag them as such. Cassel played with Allen and Garnett in Milwaukee and Minnesota and I still remember how Garnett and Cassel lost the Western Finals (by the way, why Celtics haven't sign Sprewell? Aren't the kids hungry anymore?) and how Bucks failed year after year to become a force in the East, despite having a decent squad to do so. Allen's seasons in Seattle didn't do much to improve the impression, but you can't blame him for that. Pierce also haven't done much with the chances given to him. Yes, he didn't get too many, but when he and Walker were in their prime, they were a force in the East, but failed to reach somewhere come playoffs. Let me tell you one more thing, a team that had 31 wins on a road in the regular season and 0 – 6 in the playoffs, that is mental problem and that is the worse kind of problem you want to face come playoff.

Cleveland on the other hand are actually in a great position. Gibson's injury was tough for the Cavs, but still, I think that Cavs would agree to reach Game 7 in this series and in their form. LeBron seems back in form all of a sudden, West and Wally know a thing or two about their hot spots in Boston after playing there last year and Ilgauskas been doing the job in all the games against Boston so far. Allen just can't find his game and Boston needs him desperately. If he will show up, Boston will advance, but can you really count on that?

Add the fact that Cleveland took 5 out of 6 lines so far this series and the fact that we should be getting really low score and I just love the line tonight and Cleveland advancing to Eastern Finals second season in a row.

I wanted to take Cleveland with the line with 10 units stake, but decided to take a different approach to the game.

7 units on Cleveland +8 – 1.97

2 units on Cleveland ML – 4.7

If the difference will be in the line at the end, we still win decent win. If Cleveland will win, we got a very nice profit and if Cleveland lose the line as well, we saved one unit.
