00:00 We start with the first game inside TD Garden. The Celtics booked as a 14 and a half point
00:08 favorite with a potential series clinching victory tonight over Cleveland. With a win,
00:14 Boston back into the Eastern Conference Finals for a third consecutive year. 15 points earlier
00:20 this Wednesday morning, now 14 and a half in favor of the C's. The over-under is 206. Let me ask you
00:27 this in two ways DRS. Last time we were in Boston game two, it was the Celtics losing big on their
00:34 own home four to Cleveland as a 14 point home favorite. Let's start with this. Is there any
00:41 chance the Celtics lose outright tonight once again inside TD Garden? No, because if you take
00:47 a look right now, let's just go fan the sports book right now and say okay what's the points
00:51 prop here for Donovan Mitchell? It's not even listed. Well I don't think he's going to play
00:53 tonight. So I don't think they can win this game and also sometimes we do see this Ben in the
00:58 previous game. Cleveland didn't win the game but they did cover the spread and it's one of those
01:02 where you sort of can rally the troops for a game without your superstar player there. Then as we
01:07 know Ben like the bottom falls out sooner than later. You thought that that would get your last
01:11 great effort at home and then it's a formality. The series isn't going any longer than the next
01:16 game which means human psychology dips in a little bit. All right we got to travel to Boston, one
01:21 more game and you get absolutely pounded in the first half. Now granted it's the playoffs on a
01:25 regular season game in February and these guys do have a lot of pride but I've seen that so many
01:29 times like boy I didn't expect that performance without your key player and then you say oh well
01:34 it's supposed to lose by 20 to 25 points and they do that tonight. That's the angle I'm looking at
01:39 what I'm actually getting from the Cleveland Cavaliers because also on top of that some guys
01:43 that performed very well without Donovan Mitchell we now have tape on the way that the Cleveland
01:48 Cavaliers want to play without Donovan Mitchell so a lot of things going against the Cavaliers here for me.
