    Seems to me that everybody here is taking Miami. Sure cleveland is missing guys but the Heat are unpredictable and could win by 15 or lose by 20. I cant see the heat getting to many points in the paint tonite and will have to shoot well to win this game. They have been shooting lights out there last 2 games against shitty teams and when they played a team that can defend(bobcats) they got blown out of the building. I highly doubt i will play a side in this game but be careful cause it aint as easy as it looks in that game tonite.

    On Miami +1.5

    34% of bettors on Miami. So Strong RLM, and lines moves to -1//PK

    Looks like everyone is on Cleveland, but Sharps on Miami. At least I am. But I'm no Sharp, more squirrel trying to get nut.

              will add that folks thinking long, many of the recent posts, would eventually side with the home teams

              But i still want that bet, the parlaying public must be all over Cavs & Magic.

              Won't touch either game unless a halftime lead is 15+, they all should finish kinda close.

                So long as James is on the court, CLE is in ANY game.... My gut says CLE and my brain says MIA, so prolly no play here.

                Gun to my head = CLE

                  With two key players out, The Cavs will step up. The books are trying to lure us into Miami i feel but historically when a big player(s) are missing the rest of the team step up. Cavs for me

                    Yeah movement of the lines want people to bite heat but that could be also to cover themselves just in case cleveland does win and the books loose 85 percent of the bets hahah. Lets go cavs

                        i think the injuries create too large a question mark for me too consider this game, but i would expect the Cavs to move sideways in pts. form their previous performance, perhaps a tad up.

                        On the Miami end, it seems like this team explodes or implodes. Tonite, if i had to pick, i would say that they would implode. Particularly in the 1st Half. My feeling here is that the best selection available is Cleveland 1st Half. If they were healthy, and the line was (-5) i would take them. It seems to me that when a team is due, that even the reserves can't miss a shot... or when a team is due to play poorly, even the All-Stars can't make a free throw.

                        Cleveland 1st Half
                        is my go. but i would just watch this one sail by.

                        PS. keep up good work!

                          I am not betting a Miami game the rest of the year. It is senseless for me to put money on a team that can win by 30 or lose by 40 the very next game. Good luck on those who play. I am on the sidelines.

                            I jumped on heat +1. no talk about dwade? He's on the same level as lebron's IMO. I was fine with the cavs losin mo but delonte as well? That's thin

                              I'm on Cavs -1.5. Missed the line movement, but still feel confident. If it stays close, Cavs will take it.

                                My thoughts exactly Miami is a Jeckyll/Hyde team. Win by 20 or lose by 15 you don't know. I think the Cavs big Centers will play a big part and pull through with a win.

                                  Why? They are moving the line in favor of Cavs backers which indicates they want more people on Cleveland. That is if you subscribe to the idea that the books want equal money on both sides.....

                                        The books are most definitely not trying to lure Heat bets, they know for a fact that with the line they dropped that everyone will jump on the Cavs.

                                          The line is what it is because the Cavs lack a true PG with Mo and Delonte out.

                                          Good news for Cavs supporters though, Jamario Moon was just confirmed to be playing tonight.

                                              I have one play for you all tonight... Cav's +1/2 first quarter. They will come out strong but may fade in the 2nd half with Mo and Delonte out. The best play is the 1st quarter

                                                Moon and Parker can both defend Wade..

                                                  Moon is one of the better players on that team - however, isn't he really just Lebron's backup? Who else does he sub in for?

                                                    Yes, he's the Cavs best perimeter defender (although Delonte is tied with him when he's focused). Also, Mike Brown won't go to a small lineup without him, so getting him back adds some flexibility.

                                                    The way the Cavs guards are beaten up right now you have to look for small positives as a Cavs fan

                                                    He will spend significant time on Wade tonight if he's fully healthy.

                                                        Moon rarely subs in for Lebron actually. They either play him as the 2, or they play him at 3 and move Lebron to the 4.

                                                                    But honestly, feed the ball to Shaq because the damn heat have no one to stop him. They've been doing it the last few games, and shaqs been doing damn good.
