GL LB

[JaimeMiro]

No way Cavs losing. Lebron owns Toronto...
Hope raps prove me wrong!

[shari91]

LB I told you last week... no more with this team. Even if they happen to win they'll just get your hopes up only to be stomped on again. They did well getting this far but please don't put any more faith in them.

I hear you Shari. I just think that they can at least cover here.

For both of our sakes, and all of T.O., but mainly you as you have money on them, I really f'n hope they do. Everyone's banned me from watching the games live after game 2 because I just cannot stomach it at all so I'll sneakily follow on ESPN online. Best of luck my dear friend

[lakerboy]

Thanks Shari

[keely85]

its pretty sad they realistically could have had 4 sweeps in the second round.

[The Kraken]

Could Shari ban LB for 24 for betting the Raptors? Has this happened before

Raptors win. Take it to the bank!

BOL Laker

Lakerboi has been money, Im not betting against him even thought I think the Raps lose. Derozan is a broken man

You could ban someone from the forum but if they have any sort of moral fibre they'd still bet the same thing anyway and I respect that. It's the ones who flip flop in a thread and you can't even follow who they bet or at what line or when they bought out live or bought back in that kill me. He's making his play and sticking to it. As obviously a Raptors fan I hope he wins but I just don't feel it... no money on it for me but I'll cheer LB's play all the way just as I have for many of you before

Ya, Derozan has a mental block when he gets down. Guy just loses all confidence when not playing well and without him I don't see them winning. But if they hit their 3's tonight, they have a shot. The Raps remind me of the Trailblazers 3-4 years ago. They had two good young players and were always good in the reg season but just could never get over the hump in the post-season, Raps are the same way.

Probably time to break both teams up or at least add to them because whatever they're doing isn't working when it counts.

BTW one of my favorite NBA players Jonas Valanciunas. Had drinks with him after a game in OKC one night and then hung out at the pool for a while at The Skirvin, super cool guy

[Regul8er]

Good post Kraken.....except I wouldnt classify Lowry and Derozan as being young. Derozan is turning 29, and Lowry is 32.

[gauchojake]

Shari have you ever dropped the ban hammer on a poster for name dropping nba role players? Just curious. Good luck with your bets!

[cankid]

Raps cover tonight!!

[shocka1212]

only way ill bet Toronto is if the line moves dramatically in their favor.... otherwise, nope... sweep it is.

[thetrinity]

Laker you don't think they left it on the court Saturday? Felt like a last stand to me.

[jtoler]

Why are they only +1578 lb, is that a sign they come back and win the series.

I worry about this too for both Raps and Sixers. Game 3 was basically must win and they lost, how do they respond. If they have pride, they go all out and keep it close. But each player on both teams know the series are over so they could just mail it in.

Cavs won't want to go back to Toronto, so I can see them closing it out, whereas C's know if they don't finish them today they can beat them in game 5 at home.

See guys Toler is paying attention. The Cavs are tired

Blowout.....team is completely defeated. Much like the OP and his love for only playing big money underdogs.

Cavs are at home and will want to close out the series in front of their fans. Plus, considering Pacers took them to game 7, they'll just want to finish out tonight so they can get the extra rest in to makeup for the long first series. Put in the extra work tonight so you can go sleep in your own bed tonight and not have to worry about getting on a plane to go play Game 5.

Boston does have Game 5 at home if necessary, so not as much incentive to win (however, I still think they will put up a good effort to close out). Also, while I think coming back to tie (confetti and all) and then losing like they did in OT has them likely dejected; I doubt the 76ers will want to get swept in front of their home crowd.

Not going to bet these games (since both my series bets could cash tonight and don't want to complicate things), but if I had to, Cavs -5 and 76ers ML, maybe Boston +6.5 depending on my gut feeling close to game time.

[The Kraken]

76'ers still gonna win that series

[Grits n' Gravy]

I hear you Shari. I just think that they can at least cover here.

You pick them to win outright in thread title but then think they can at least cover?

GTFOH

[JIBBBY]

Raptors packed it in.. Cavs are not gonna want to travel and extend this series any further.. Cavs and Lebron close it out tonight. Raptors gonna quit in this game at some point and probably get blown out..

Good luck though LB, I'm going Cavs and the sweep!!!

[jtoler]

you guys keep saying what a team is "not gonna want" to do. that doesnt matter, they have an opponent in front of them who wants the opposite. teams also know the earlier they finish a series and sit they arnt as gelled to start the next series, have to get their legs back under them. I dont have much faith in the Raps and logic says they put it out there last game and still lost and tonight you wont get the same effort, but they did finish 1st in the East and if they have any pride then they are "not gonna want" to get swept having finished the season with the best record in the East.

[Snowball]

I came close but can't take the Raps..
Lebron keeps shaking his head at me.

[Fire in da hole]

I like you LB

but fk the raptors

hope you find find a way to hedge and they lose by 30

[The Giant]

Something tells me even if the Raptors lose tonight, Lakerboy will bet against Lebron in game five...
