NBA Playoff Pick 5/20/2008

May 20, 2008

Game one of the Eastern Conference Finals tips off on Tuesday night.  The first match-up in the East features the much touted Boston Celtics against the wily veteran Detroit Pistons.  It’s a clash of two great teams to be sure, but with Boston currently sitting as 4.5 point favorites at home, which direction should your bets be leaning?

Game 1 - Eastern Conference Finals - Detroit Pistons @ Boston Celtics
The Pistons are one of the few teams to have actually picked up a win against the Celtics in Boston in the regular season this year.  While that’s quite a feat itself, don’t let that sway your opinion too much.  I saw the Celtics build a lot of confidence in their last series.  Face it, they face as much pressure as anyone because they are expected to win every time they step on the court.  That’s completely unrealistic of course, but what’s not unrealistic is to expect them to come out and win big every time they step on their home court in the playoffs. 
Your Game 1 Winner:  Boston Celtics -4.5
