    CLE@BOS, Too easy?

    Right now the spread is -1.5 Cavs, does it seem like a trap to you guys?

    -CLE has some momentum after snapping their losing streak
    -Jamison has complimented their offense very well, freeing up the lane for James and Shaq. This will cause problems for Garnett, who isn't very mobile.
    -Pierce is ruled doubtful for the game. Even if he plays he'll be gimped.
    -Bron will be hyped up for this game, if there's such a thing as a statement game, this would be it.

    Thoughts?

    Not easy at all. Cleveland has not played well since losing to the Nuggets. That 10 point win over New Orleans was a closer game than the final score indicates.

    One of the main reasons the spread is this low is because Cleveland has not won in Boston in quite some time.. I think they have lost 10 straight games in Boston.

    Yeah, it appears like a trap play. But hard to go against the Cavs here.

    I can't bet Boston here even though a win would do wonders for their confidence. I would much rather be on the side of the King especially on TNT Thursdays.

    As much as the overall outlook for BOS has improved, especially the playoffs outlook
    there are reasons why I lean CLE

    1. Pierce out
    2. Daniels was sick, but will play
    3. Nate Robinson not worked into BOS play schemes yet. As it has been pointed out, Doc is sending him out there to play "pick-up". It's going to take a few more weeks at least to work Nate in.
    4. KG is better, but not near 100%.
    5. Cavs looking better

    as a BOS fan there is no way I would bet Celtics tomorrow night.
    This weekend the Celtics/Nets game is far more to my liking as a bettor.

    On paper we can all agree that the Cavs should run Boston out of there own gym...Funny thing is that most likely will not happen here. Boston will be wise to slow the game down and run all there offense through the low post and kick out to Allen for open 3's when they present themselves. I must admit Cleveland looks good in this spot, but it will be difficult to cover most likely.

    I think this game will be close, but think Cleveland covers as well.

    The C's have been playing well lately and they're at home. A lot of people have written them off and they will be looking to make a statement. This is far from easy.....

    'Bron will definitely take it as a statement game. The cavs are meshing better and better and should have the advantage at 4/5 positions. Look for an LBJ takeover. Big stats....

    Boston is looking to prove they still got what it takes to get another championship, also i dont think the cavs have ever won in Boston so i would deff lean towards Celtics.

    hrmp.. boston or cleveland?? seriously is a flip of coin... I personally do not like lebron as he is way too cocky, but betting wif money we have to think hard...

    this is wat cocky guy say:-
    "There's 82 games in the regular season. You'll have ups and downs," said LeBron James, who had 20 points and 13 assists. "We've had way more ups than downs. We have the best record in the Eastern Conference and one of the best records in the league. You can go two or three games where you don't win a game. That's not our worries."

    Yea that seems pretty cocky to me.

    What do we care if a guy is cocky, we are all here for the same thing: TO WIN MONEY.

    remember also Pierce is listed as doubtful again. Will Marquis Daniels be able to stop Lebron?

    If the line makers thought the Cavs were gonna win, it would be a bigger line than 1 or 2. I'm not fukking with this game because Boston team right now is shit, but they will fight hard tonight.

    Cleveland may be 8-2 vs Boston ATS but there also 0-4 (away) SU since 2008. I will have to watch the betting bur my lean is Cleveland right now.

    the line is this low because of CLE's road woes when playing BOS.... that coupled with the fact that CLE just snapped a 3 game skid and BOS is no pushover.... this line is spot on imho.

    I wouldn't say Cleveland has momentum. It was a sloppy win at home against the Chris Paul-less Hornets. The Cavs, known for their defense, have not been playing any at all lately.. New Orleans put up 40 in the 2nd Q against them. Now, not saying the play is Boston, but Cleveland has their own set of issues right now to work out.
