We've lost with the Dallas Mavericks in Game 2 and 3 of the series, but I'm not making the same mistake again. They kept it close in the first half last time out, but then the Celtics decided it was time to put them away. Sure, the Mavs made it somewhat close in the end, but not really.

Is there a risk of the Celtics taking the night off to secure the title home in Boston in Game 5 instead? I don't think so, as I think they still have some respect for the Mavs and don't want to let them back in the series.

5* PLAY ON THE CELTICS.
