    I mean you can't compare the Fakers with a line of -1200 at times in the playoffs to the Cavs....

    The -650 line is a gift

    (ML and -10.5 for me ... use the profits from the ML to pay for the runline...and save an extra unit just cuz)

    Laying 6 1/2 to 1 taking the road team in an NBA playoff game is a gift?

    I sure hope you're joking?

      I see no reason why Atl has ANY chance of competing at the same level as the Cavs. Cavs are going to want to come out and close out the series...for the extra rest before the next series if nothing else.

      If you think any different, then no worries. I make a unit even if Cavs don't get the 10.5. 5 units if they do. I like my chances...

        The last thing in the world the Hawks want to do is win tonight and have to go to Cleveland (possibly the best home team of all time, top 3 for sure) and watch them celebrate on their own court. Cleveland is not the type of team to just relax and win it in the fourth quarter. They want to blow you out. They have covered 11 spreads in a row. I can't see that streak ending agasint a banged up, nonmotivated Hawks team that knows there season is over.

          I doubt they win as well, but I don't see it being a blow out! They will toy with Atlanta all night, and not playing there starters as hard, its game 4 of a sweep coming why play as hard when you know they haven't even competed with you yet this series. Have extra time to rest when you win by 5 and let your starters have an easy game with plenty of rest.
          If it seems to good to be true it usually is!!

          I have a natural instinct to exploit market ineffieciencies!!

            I think Cavs will come out swinging to close out the series and sweep 2 in a row. They will play hard for the extra days of rest and mentally let the lakers know they can't compare to them when they meet in the finals

              Nothing can be called a gift in sports but Cavs at -650 against a Hawks team that have all but begun their vacation is the closest thing to a "gift". The Cavs are no Lakers. They win any game that's within their reach.

                All-in ML Hawks tonight!

                LOL just kidding. Sweet hit the nail on the head - Atlanta wants to end the season tonight and go home.

                    I'm seeing the hawks and a huge effort tonight. Trap written all over it. "don't want to travel back to cleve". Are u kidding me. These are pro athletes and their pride is on the line. Take the points in a close one

                      The King and Cleveland will close this out tonight. 10 is a lot of points but Cleveland does not want to keep this close. If Atlanta plays like the team that took Boston 7 games last year they may cover, but what is their real motivation at this point? They know the series is over and do not want to travel to Cleveland for the next game. I wouldn't bet the house on Cleveland but sure wouldn't bet on the Hawks who have looked horrible in this series.

                        ....

                        Cavs will cruise along....there is an opportunity for a back door cover here by ATL in the 4th...

                        I am thinking the KING wants to end this and watch as Orlando and Boston kick the crap out of each other for the next couple of games...

                            The king. Hardly. He's good. Not tough against a couple of JV teams. I can't wait to see the celtics beat the cavs minus kg. Take the hawks and the points tonight fellas

                                When the Hawks loss game 3 they lost all hope. That destroyed their confidence. Even if they win today they know their going to lose game 5. So the Hawks attitude won't be there. I think the Cavs will be more focused than the Hawks in closing out this series. Cleveland have won all their game by double digits, I don't see why that should change. Although their is a first for everything and the Hawks may have some type of pride and don't want to be swept. So I like the Cavs to win but -10 might be pushing it. I say Atlanta +10 or Cavs moneyline.

                                  Not to start trouble, but the Celtics will be lucky to win 2 games against Cleveland. It is not hard to tell you are a King James hater, but that is ok, let's just hope the Celtics can get by Orlando so the series can happen. Personally, I think Orlando would be a tougher series for Cleveland.

                                      Oh, by the way, the Celtics are not taking a series from the Cavs, if they even make it past Orlando.

                                        any win against cavs is a welcome change in the next series. its like they are on a diff league from the rest. no fun with them trashing everybody by double digit. GL with the plays, i clearly stated next series cause i know that a lot of the dudes are on cavs.

                                                    I think they win big for the 1st 3 quarters. Anybodies guess who wins the 4th at scrub time.

                                                            As I expected, Atlanta kept it close.

                                                            I'm lucky I got +11 at Bodog, though.
