How big of a play should Boston -1 in game 6 be?

**OLBG Sports** · 05-12-10, 12:10 PM

I will post that same thing that I just post in another forúm...

For me, the only problem is that everybody who says that Cavaliers is going to win use the same argument "Lebron is better than any other player" but you need to see the whole team, not only one player... this is a team sport not a individual one...

**BennyFang** · 05-12-10, 12:16 PM

I'm sure I'll think and post again about this before tomorrow night but what about the under? I could see this one being a real grinder, maybe play in the 180s???

Look out for Tony Allen, he looked great last game @ home

**og4667** · 05-12-10, 01:35 PM

do you think this could be a repeat of game 3? That is the only thing that worries me. Considering how passive Lebron was last night, if he comes out hard like he did in game 3 it could be a cavs win all over again. Game 3 was Boston -1 and we all know what happened.

If the Celtics come out with intensity to match the cavs tomorrow then I say YES, hammer the Celtics as the Cavs are finished.

The Celtics know this is there best chance to win. Garnettt has already said this will be there game 7. They know if the Cavs win they are most likely toast unless Queen James shits the bed again.. Also, Boston would like to wrap it up on there home court.

I hope the Celtics win game 6 and them I will take that money a hammer Orlando Game 1.

yes, good call. The line shifted to Celtics -1 by gametime. Still though what are the chances of Lebron coming out tomorrow like he did in game 3? Can the Celtics contain him??? After watching everygame this series I would say yes.

If you think about the lineup that the Cavs used for the majority of the regular season it is completely different from what they are using now. At the beginning of the season Shaq was not an asset then they started working him in effectively and then he got injured. Then they had a much different lineup that they used for the rest of the season but it was still effective. Then they trade for Jameson and he sucks at first but then slowly gets it going kind of.
Now here we are in the playoffs and the Cavs are using a lineup that really isn't battle tested. Mike Brown doesn't give Delonte West any solid playing time, Big Z gets a couple of minutes, he plays Moon sporadically, JJ hickson who was a starter during the reg season gets next to no playing time, Mo williams can't guard anybody on the floor, Shaq is too slow, Daniel Gibson has gotten a couple minutes, Anthony Parker can sometimes hit an open 3 but can't really guard anybody on the Celtics either. Meanwhile Doc Rivers has an 8 man rotation that he sticks to while Mike Brown seems to still be trying to figure out what lineup he should use.

I think this assessment is solid. The Cavs actually just match up poorly with the Celtics, and Brown has been making it worse by not using his players as he should be. I don't think the Cavs are capable of making the adjustments necessary to beat the Celtics in this series.

The more I think about this, the more sure I am that I'll be playing the Celtics in Game 6.

cavs have it

**KiDBaZkiT** · 05-12-10, 05:02 PM

Mo Williams is probably the worst defender at the PG position currently in the post season. Shaq's defense is awful, guys are constantly driving right around him and shooting right in front of him and he doesn't even bother to put a hand up. Did anyone see before an advertisement last night they featured a slow-mo replay of KG hitting a turn around jumper over Jamison and clearly mouthing "Mother****er can't guard me." I agree 100% and Clevelands team defense is absolutely pathetic. I cant even begin to name all the problems with Clevelands team. Cleveland better hope they get a big lead early or its the end of the season for them cause with that shit defense they can't possibly come from a 10pt deficit. I have been saying all year too how terrible of a coach Mike Brown is. Cleveland is just an absolute mess and if Cleveland didnt shoot 60% FG's and 91% FT's on 34 attempts their season would of ended last night. The Cavs are making Rondo look like Magic Johnson right now.

**og4667** · 05-12-10, 05:29 PM

Yea I agree Jameson cannot guard kg at all and Jameson isn't playing good at all. I just think it comes down to the cavs using a lineup that has only played together during the postseason. I can get the celtics at pk at the casino I bet at in reno and really thinking about a big play.

**brooks85** · 05-12-10, 05:34 PM

boston -1 heavy for me

**Foals** · 05-12-10, 06:21 PM

It's like Boston has Cleveland figured out. Boston for me

**texhooper** · 05-12-10, 06:33 PM

i wouldn't go 10 dimes if i were you. you're up a nice 150 units, i'd go 50 at the absolute max if you're wanting to make a real big play. you don't want to wipe out 100 units in one swipe should something weird happen, plus there's a lotta playoff ball left to cash in on as well.

i do agree boston is the play, and i feel pretty damn good about it too.

if you do put 100 units don't post that you did because the haters that would come out of the woodwork if that play lost...man, half the board would get banned.

**Gonna_Win** · 05-12-10, 06:37 PM

Cavs are done, Bos will blow them out

**wookieehumper** · 05-12-10, 07:32 PM

I'm going big on Boston. Lebron is playing like a big flabby vagina in this series... Cavs will get destroyed unless Lebron's elbow magically heals all of a sudden

**sweetjones55** · 05-12-10, 07:33 PM

Tony Brothers hasn't reffed in a very long time. I got a bad feeling we will see him tomorrow night.

This gentlemen has got it ALL right. You have to got be kidding me if you think the Cavs are going into Boston and taking game 6. They got absoulety destroyed last night in all aspects of that game. Boston -1 is not a trap its a given. After a performance like that 24 hours ago and the books are giving us a Celtic spread of ONLY -1 in a Game 6 close out game at HOME. Common guys this line was set to have equal money on each side. Make the play, Boston -1 (referees pending).

**Wilforth** · 05-12-10, 10:40 PM

We mustn't forget the fact that Boston are vulnerable at home.

As KG said, this is their Game 7. It sounds weird, but I honestly think Boston will be playing with the same sense of urgency as Cleveland will -- if not more so. They'll be motivated to finish the series now and not have to go back to Cleveland, where you'd deal with all the Game 7 LeBron at home hype.

I think this is a point that a lot of people are failing to grasp. The books have checked out on this one, posting a fair line and waiting until the dust settles.

After the past 2 games I think the hype would be the least of their worries considering how well that worked out for the Cavs.

I like boston.
