BOSTON CELTICS AT CHICAGO BULLS GAME 2 (BULLS LEAD SERIES 2-0)

Friday, April 21st, 7PM

TV: ESPN

(Current America’s Bookie‘s Line CHICAGO -1.5 TOTAL 207.5)

There has been no more shocking start to a 1 v 8 matchup in the NBA playoffs since 1993 , when the Lakers took a 2-0 lead on the 1 seed Suns in their first round series. The good news for Celts fans is that the Suns won the next three to win the series and ended up in the NBA Finals. The bad news though is it seems like Boston just doesn’t have answers right now for the upstart Bulls.

This is where they have to lay it all on the line, clause if they lose game three , it would be an absolutely insane task to win four straight against a Bulls team that is beaming with confidence right now. This series started with tragedy as C’s star Isaiah Thomas’s sister was killed in a car crash on the eve of the series starting. Even though Thomas had 33 points in game one, something just seemed to be off with his team and it continued in game two.

We can’t forget that Boston did earn the one seed for a reason and they are an extremely talented basketball team. This is the perfect spot for them as they already feel the whole world is against them and to have this pivotal game on the road might just be what the doctor ordered for them to get back in this series. Look for Thomas and company to get out to a big start as they know that this is do or die. D Wade will have his moment’s , but the C’s will have too much on both ends of the floor and will get back in the series in a big way.
