I believe in game 5 we are looking at our closest result thus far in this series. I expect both defenses to clamp down and the style to be a closely contested highly emotional half court grinder. Boston will be better defensively after allowing the Pistons to shoot 51% in game 4. The Celtics also know they have to bring their best defensive effort in game 5 because the Pistons lit them up for 103 points and 49% shooting in game 2 on their home court. Antonio McDyess has been on top of his game defensively guarding Kevin Garnett. MdDyess is hungry, as he hasn't gotten a Championship ring in his career. We are looking at a 1-possession game here and playing on Detroit at +5.5 means you don't need to win the game to cash your ticket. Play Detroit +5.5 in game 5.
