I definitely don't hold the Celtics' postseason performance to date against them - even after accounting for all the opponents' injuries, they were still just as dominant as they've been all season.

(Not that the Vegas spreads are everything, but they've pretty much hit the number square over the 14 playoff games.  However much the gap has closed in the last six weeks is almost entirely a product of Dallas blowing its projection out of the water.)

And as you alluded to, I think the only reason the MOV looked a little less pretty in the Indiana series is that they won the game they were supposed to lose.  Had they gone to Indy tied at one, I'm fairly certain both victories would have been more resounding.

My one concern from the Celts perspective is that they turn in a dud in one of the first two, thinking they can just turn it on and coast from there.  But this is the finals' and there's more time between games, so perhaps those prior mishaps at home don't apply.
