    No brainer. This is a statement game for the best team in the league. They blow the bulls out the building, all but ending the series .


    CLEVELAND -3.5
    LA -3.5

    ??whatcha think?

      Yes, OKC favored by 3.5.

      Kind of weird odds, 8 seed favored by more over the 1 seed than than Utah is over Denver.

        Lakers have been atrocious on the road down the stretch so I'm guessing Vegas expects that trend to continue.

              There's not a no-brainer in these games. Cavs can fall in Chicago.

                  I don't think either line is weird.

                  Cavs would be about -6.5 on on a neutral court, so -10 or -10.5 made sense in Cleveland and -3.5 makes sense in Chicago.

                  Thunder are not your garden variety eight-seeds and this is the game in the series the Lakers figure to relax a bit.

                      Teams at home down 2-0 ran about 60%+ ats at home in game 3 for years, now oddsmakers/maket is compensating for that, perhaps too much. Those lines would be much different if it was 1-1.

                            Cavs will win by quite a bit. No screwing around on the road by them.

                              cavs are 8-10 points better on any court.

                                If that was true, they would have been more than -10.5 at home

                                      I think alot of people are on Cavs by game time.

                                          Well I do think Cavs have better chance of winning than Lakers do. My only point was that the lines are not "off", as some of you are saying.

                                              Yup, the Cavs has sucker bet written all over it. So call me a sucker, -3.5 is too hard to pass up. Taking the Cavs to the bank tomorrow

                                                    No for two reasons:

                                                    1 - NEVER tease through 0 (Cavs)

                                                    2 - Lakers could lose by double-digits

                                                      Yeah I think Cleveland in a no brainer. To good to be true, I don't think so they keep on trucking with another double digit win.

                                                          Cavs could be hard pick. It's really okay to put them on -3.5 line @ road. In my opinion they will win only one game on road so Im going to skip this one.

                                                              Cavs -3.5 will not win stern needs more games so he can make some more revenue to make up for the 400 mill the nba lost this year.

                                                                Lines normally try to say something vegas wants,(or if you want to think really hard, what vegas wants us to think that they are thinking..So we would go nuts and go the opposite lol).. So from -4.5 to -3.5.. maybe they are expecting more money to the bulls but want more money on the cavs.. but the question is.. why? lol..
