NBA PLAYOFFS FREE PICK: Take the over. According to latest NBA trends, the series is 6-2 OVER L8 meetings. Boston is 4-1 Over is 4-1last 5 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5 and 6-2 Over last 8 Conference Semifinals games. The 76ers are 5-1 Over last 6 games as a road underdog of 5.0-10.5, 5-1 Over last 6 games as an underdog of 5.0-10.5, 8-2 Over is 8-2 last 10 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600 and is 8-3 Over is 8-3 last 11 games as a road underdog. It doesn’t get any better than Game 7 in sports. Both teams play defensive basketball but both are tired as well so tired legs can mean difficulty defending. Before Game 6, the last three games in this series went over. Expect Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to come up big again as this will likely be their chance to play together with Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen if the Celts lose. Philly has nothing to lose so they will play all out.
