4. Boston-Cleveland
•Boston 9-1 SU home, 1-4 road
o 9-0 and 2-3 against the spread
o +11.3 home, -9 road
o Only road win in OT when Sixers gave it away
o Celtics starters shooting 45 percent on road, but bench just 33 percent
o But with rest, shorten bench
o Older Cavs though may benefit from rest and make adjustments
o Better coach exploits short rest, not long rest
o Just three days rest goes over 57.9
o Just enough rest for fresh legs but not too much to be rusty
Houston-Golden State
Houston played too isolation heavy and I said Durant, Thompson
Houston had 12 uncontested 3s making six
Compared to five and three in game 1
Passed the ball much better
Ball moves faster than the defense
Harden’s isolation went from 26-16 but Paul’s 10 to 16
Houston’s bench with Ariza, Gordon, and Tucker was much better
Golden State had some unforced turnovers, which are correctable
Steph Curry subpar, may benefit from rest
Free pick: UNDER 226
