I like the Celtics to defend their home floor on Sunday and get game 1. Most are expecting the Nets to 'flip the switch' in the playoffs after an uneven regular season. They have reeled off five consecutive victories heading into this series but didn't cover the spread in either of their last two games and haven't played much defense. The Celtics have beaten the Nets in the last three straight head-to-head meetings. They are capable of hanging around offensively, they have the better defense and they’ll be playing on their home court. Boston has also held three of its last four opponents to fewer than 40 made field goals with their aggressive tough defense. Take Boston here on Sunday afternoon.
