Mr.Biscuit...do we read the same screenplays while taking our morning poops? Seriously man, its like you know what im about to say....Cavs almost mailed in it in during Game 1 in that 2nd Q putting Lebron on the bench with the likely intentions of taking the Raps jizzz on the chin and converse their energy for tonight...however Tom Cruise Korver and I Shot JR Smith kept hitting their 3pt bombs to make the game uber competitive going into the half...if anyone thinks Toeonto lost that game in the late 4th Q by going ice cold they are mistaken...they lost that game in the 2nd Q by not going for the jugular and playing with intensity to start that 2nd Q...thats been the Raps issue all season long coming out flat in the 2nd and/or 3rd Qs...and thats all coaching folks...i really cant believe it, but Lue outcoached Casey badly in game 1, and that cannot ever happen. I have always believed in Casey for this team, and tonight he has to prove me and everyone else wrong...Raps will likely repeat that first Q effort, and will look to extend their lead in both the 2nd and 3rd Qs...leaving the 4th for garbage time and winding down the clock...hopefully.
Also, look for Philly ML to be a solid choice for any 2 game open parlay bettors here...i expect regression to their means, so Philly will shoot better from 3 whereas Boston wont likely be able to match their game 1 shooting %...also if you believe in the zigzag theory, this game should be an under by significant margin as compared to game 1 final total....Philly will make their defensive adjustments and look to take away Tatum and Rozier, leaving only Smart and Horford and Morris to beat them....and i have seen enough Celts games these past 2 games to know that these 3 guys are not reliable to carry this team offensively when needed the most as they are all jump shooters...tonight Boston will likely be ice cold from range and if they shoot above 40% from the floor not counting bunnies and dunks, i will be very surprised.
Locked in:
Raps Under 54.5 1st Q...weird 6pm local tip off to appease the American tv schedule for Boston/Philly to be in primetime...yet another agregious slight to the Raps by the NBA but i digress...i dont think the seats will be full when the clock starts to tick as rish hour traffic downtown toronto is brutal...so playing at a weird time infront of many empty seats, and at a time these players of habit are not accustomed to, could lead to a first Q snoozefest...so many times you will see in euro hoops that first Q is either a brickfest or walk it up every time type slow pace quarter, only to go off in the 2ndQ and beyond....we shall see.
