Cavs getting 10 points against OKC on Saturday!

With the way OKC blew out Memphis, I'm not surprised that they set the spread to +10 for the Cavs.
Pretty big spread still.

Cavs won 4 of 5... they now back to reality losing by 13 and 18. now next night have to face OKC

Cavs and the word defense =

and they shot under 40%

When the Cavs aren't shooting well... do not put a penny on them

I think ima just be a spectator on this game, lets see what happens to the chemistry after that russel Westbrook/sefolosha fiasco... I obv can't back the cavs here lol I love my money 2 much

Cavs sent Detroit to the stripe 43 times... lucky Detroit only made 23 of them and still beat the Cavs by 18

If Cavs cover its only because OKC let's them

Use okc in teasers.. Smell a back door cover here...

+10 is not too much

CLEV just lost by 18 to DET, OKC just disposed of MEM by 17. Making short work of CLEV should be a walk in the park, right? Or so goes "gambler's logic." But then this is the NBA = Where Amazing Happens. I think public is being baited towards OKC -10. Small play on CLEV +10 here. Not so much as a "play on" CLEV, but a situational fade vs OKC. Cheers, schmucks!

Less than 20, but once the Cleveland starting 5 start getting fatigued (around the 3rd quarter) that's when OKC will basically start igniting the spark that will lead to the blowout.

How does Ibaka blow a wide open dunk!?
A professional athlete can't be making those silly mistakes.

Again, the NBA. Where Amazing Happens.

Seriously though, bettors shouldn't put too much stock into team rankings and big lines. These give the impression of "strength rating" where in fact there is a lot of parity in the league. It's the NBA, the cream of the crop of the basketball world. These guys are pros. On any given day, given the right circumstances, the worst team in the league can convincingly beat the best team. Witness how MIA has fallen several times to lottery teams. And guys keep hitching their wagons to the strong horses, then cry "fix" when they lose.
