    Boston Celtics @ Orlando Magic

    We will have tonight the first final in 2010 NBA season. The Magic will host in Orlando the "not so much surprising" Celtics, for the first game in the Western Conference final. Could Orlando finally lose a game in this playoffs? Since the start of the playoffs, Orlando were able to shutdown their opponents by 4-0. They didn't allowed yet any game, being invincible in this playoffs when they start the conference final.

    In the 8 playoffs games they already had, they didn't had any lucky win, as they win all of them convincingly. Since the last games of the regular season, when Orlando's coach, Gundy, said that there would be no rest for the team when they already had granted the playoffs, the team is increasing and getting stronger. Even without any rest in the last games, where they were all required to play, to improve their game and chemistry, the team didn't seemed tired in any playoff game.

    And due to easy qualifications, they only had to play 8 games since the end of regular season, giving them much more days to rest than the opponent. At home, they won all their games by 9 or much more points, with a great offense and defense. They just seem to be unstoppable on this playoffs.

    The Celtics, arrive here with lots of work. They benefited of a bad coaching from the Miami Heats side to snap a 4-1 win. They won one game at Miami, with an INCREDIBLE bad play from the Heats in the last seconds, and were able to hold their home games, ending the series early. Then, they started a series against the supposedly almighty Cavaliers. However, we all saw that the Cavaliers were far from their best.

    The Celtics were able to manage a good defense, having the edge in the paint, and snapped 2 games at Cleveland. Their frontcourt was their only theorical edge, but they also had the big help from the unexpected (for some) Rondo, that have made some great games. However, they will host today a frontcourt that have Howard on it. If they had problems at Miami against Miami frontcourt, today we will see much bigger problems to the Celtics. They are not playing this year as they should.

    They have a good roster, with the young Rondo helping the old Big Three, but had lucky in this playoffs. We have to discredit the previous opponents that the Celtics had, but today, they will face the team that is in better shape and have the higher moral in the NBA. They will have big problems in the paint, and probably will not be able to impose their defense, the key of their wins. Their offense will also have big problems, as at Orlando, it isn't easy to pass the Magic big men.

    Pick: Orlando Magic -6.5 -109 (1.92) BetPhoenix, -110 (1.91) Bookmaker, -111 (1.90) Goalwin
