I have been looking at the odds for Orlando to win this series and something seems very wrong. With Orlando only a -235 fav to WIN 1 of the next 3 (to take the series) and with the way they have been playing, how can this be so? Take into account that Orlando has beaten them 5/7 this year so far. I was toying with the idea of throwing some money at what seemed to be free money on Orlando to win the Eastern Confrence at this point, but then got to thinking...How can this come back to bite me in the ass??? In my eyes there is only one scenario in which Cavs win this series and Orl losses 3 straight. This scenario is that in the next game, Dwight Howard gets not only one techinical, but two. In this case not only would he be suspended for game 6 (7 Technicals in Playoffs = 1 game suspension), but also be ejected in game 5 (2 technicals in 1 game = Ejection). This surrely would bring game 7 back to Cleveland and I just dont see them losing in that situation.

cleve should win gm 5 at home which means the big battle will be in gm 6 at orlando where they just barely lost in OT, so they can win gm 6, then theres no pt even playing gm 7 because the series will be clevelands. each gm that cleveland wins put more and more pressure on orlando. those 3s wont be falling as easily the next 2 gms with pressure to close cleveland out on the line. just watch budComment -
I wouldn't put anything past the NBA, ChiTown. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see the scenario you described unfold.Comment -
I would be very interested in seeing a prop bet on Dwight Howard technicals for game 5...Does any book offer this type of thing?Comment -
yes, cleve should have won game 1 and 2 and 3 and 4...however, orlando got no respect and deserve what they have gotten...I'm sure everyone is gonna load up on the cavs at home in game 5...and gonna get burned again...I hate orlando, but even during the reg season they beatup on the cavsComment
