Las Vegas - Bouncing on to the NBA hardwood out West and gonna roll with the Celtics over the Blazers. Like many of the teams, Boston has had to deal with numerous health issues, but it looks like the tide has turned. The Celtics have won and covered five of the last six including a 105-87 blowout on Sunday afternoon against a VERY good Denver team. The Cs had their starting five on the floor for most of the game, and it showed. Jayson Tatum played 33 minutes, Kemba Walker 33, Jaylen Brown 36, Marcus Smart 34 and Robert Williams III 27. Brad Stevens also had the luxury of a packed bench, playing eight guys, and getting a total of 80 minutes from his subs. You know that we LOVE DameTime, but after looking at Portland's recent work, can't open my wallet for Lillard. The Blazers only two wins this month have come against Detroit (16-38) and Oklahoma City (20-33), two of the NBA's bottom feeders. Against teams with winning records, like Utah, Milwaukee, the Clippers and Heat, it's OH & FOUR in April. Gimme the guys with the green shamrock for the money and you can BOOK IT!!!
