All three games have gone Under the total and we are still looking at a relatively high total of 206 between the Celtics and Cavaliers on Monday in Game 4. I think the defensive intensity will go up a notch, particularly for Boston, and send another game between these clubs Under the total.

Some Celtics are asserting their Game 3 blowout loss Saturday was the "wake-up call" they needed to renew their focus in the Eastern Conference Finals. I was surprised by the 30-point margin, but the Cavaliers were desperate to get back in the series. This also goes to show that even a Brad Stevens-coached team can have a no-show once in a while, and it's hardly surprising given his team's overall youth. But I doubt will see two in a row, and I expect Boston to be the same stubborn nemesis Monday in Game 4 that has been all postseason.
