After a GOY (Game of the Year) stinkbomb release, I have vowed to make amends. What better way to right the ship then to bounce back with the NBA opening night card? A wise man once told me "I can accept losing but I will not tolerate sitting out games. If there is a game to wager on, then do so".
Heat vs. Celtics. At first glance this line seems a little light at Heat -6. However, cemented deep into handicappers minds everywhere is the long six game struggle, that was last years NBA Eastern Conference Finals. Furthermore, defending NBA champions are just 2-8 against the number in their last ten openers. For those looking to make a case for the Celtics, it appears they have found one.
Beware. While Rondo presents a matchup nightmare for Miami (along with almost every other team), the rest of his Celtics teammates are coasting on fumes. Without the services of Ray Allen, who is incidentally playing for the Heat, Boston will have more issues trying to run their offensive sets. As of now their best shooter is Kevin Garnett. While the Celtics remain a proud team with Pierce and the aforementioned Garnett, I cannot help but think that this could finally be the year where their age catches up with them.
After finally winning an NBA title that eluded him, expect to see a more relaxed Lebron James as he tries to lead the Heat in defense of their championship. During the past two years the Heat appeared at times to carry the burden of a team that was expected to win. In doing so, this was a squad that would play tight and allow lessor teams to compete with them. This year is a different story. Two teams but only one is going in the right direction.
The Release.....Heat -6 over Celtics.
