These two teams always play each other tough defensively, and this game should be no exception. They played each other in the preseason just a few days ago, and pushing and shoving went on during the game. Boston will have Kevin Garnett back this season, and he will make a big difference on the defensive end. Meanwhile, Cleveland added Shaq, who will improve the Cavaliers already tough defense. I look for this game to be more of a grind and played at a slow pace. Both offenses will struggle because of the season just starting. It will take both line-ups a few games to get going offensively, so the defenses should have a big advantage. Take the under. 3 UNIT SELECTION
