Streak for the Cash: March 14th

Who will win: Boston Celtics or Golden State Warriors

So far, 98.3% of the people are selecting the Celtics to win.  I believe they are right in picking the Celtics and here is why.  First, the aging Celtics have had an extra day of rest and have played well on their current road trip (1-1, should have beaten Lakers).  The main reason I believe the Celtics will win is because Golden State traded Monta Ellis yesterday.  In return, the Warriors got Andrew Bogut and Stephen Jackson.  The trade may or may not work out for the Warriors in the future, but it should have a negative effect tonight.  Ellis was Golden State's best player and it will take time for the Warriors to adjust without him.  If the Celtics play hard instead of taking it easy because of Golden State's circumstances, they should come away with an easy victory.  Pick: Boston Celtics (Confidence: 4/5)
