NBA Eastern Conference Finals Pick 5/24/08
May 24, 2008
Detroit did what not very many teams have been able to do this year, especially in the playoffs, and beat the Celtics in Boston. Saturday night the Celtics make the trip to Detroit to square-off against the Pistons on their home court. The Pistons have been a strong team at home in the regular season and playoffs as well, but Boston knows that they now have to steal a game from the Pistons in Detroit if they are going to make it to the NBA Finals this year.
Boston Celtics @ Detroit Pistons
The Pistons definitely gained some momentum by defeating the Celtics at home on Thursday night. While it’s possible that this could be the beginning of home teams starting to lose in the NBA playoffs, I’m certainly not sold on it just yet. I wouldn’t count the Celtics out just yet, but I kn ow the Pistons have the energy, momentum, and home court advantage on Saturday night. With five points to give I’m sure there will be a lot of bettors on the Celtics, but I’m staying with the home team as the Pistons have definitively proven to me that they are once again one of the teams to be reckoned with in the East.
