The People’s Playoff Book It: abetterbomb – Day 2

Playoff time! The Basketball Jones is giving away a pair of Adidas basketball shoes to the person who can put together the longest streak of picks during the postseason. If you’d like to give it a shot, email us. Once a wrong pick is made, we’ll email the next contestant. Sports Tsar is in the lead at 3; abetterbomb at the dish with 1 on the board:

Boston [-8] over ATLANTA (home team in CAPS)

The thrill is gone. Detroit’s beat down last night reminded me that a true talent gap exists in the East. It’s time for Boston to end Atlanta’s nice little run. Boston shut down Atlanta in game 5, and I don’t think the home court crowd will be enough to make up for the fact that the Hawks have a man named Zaza playing center (Ed. don’t give Zaza and his ‘backnee’ too much credit, he comes off the bench).

    I dont know, Hawks have been playing some nasty ball at home. I think Boston will close it tonight, but no cover.

    I think it’ll play out exactly the same way that the Pistons/Sixers series played out. The underdog makes some noise at home, the favorite straightens things out on their own home court, and then, fully awakened to playoff basketball, the favorite smothers the underdog in game 6 on the road.
