Lets break down the individual match-ups of this game. Forget about game 5 already, Boston dropped 120 pts, that aint all on LeBron. Also keep in mind LeBron might go off tomorrow and still not win. So looking soley at game 6 I believe Bostons starting 5 is superior to Clevelands. Rondo has been a nightmare for the Cavs, Parker has not played playoff D on Allen and Boston has done a great job of playing team defense on ol' Burger King. Jamison hasnt shown up yet as a result of great Garnett defense and KG has had a great series on both ends of the floor for the most part. And Shaq, wow this guy just simply isnt interested in contesting shots whether its his guy or not. I think James did a good job defensively on Pierce for the first 4 games but Pierce seemed to find a rythym last night. As far as bench play Glen Davis has stepped up his play since the post season started. I also have noticed the Rivers must have told Sheed "Hey, blackie, you suck quit takin deep jumpers cause you cant hit shit!" As Wallace has brought up his shooting % slightly over the last few games(which wasnt difficult after shooting less than 30% for the season.) Mike Brown also can't coach for shit just listening to ESPN in the backround and apparently some of LBJ's teammates have come to him in the last 24hrs with coaching changes they would like to see for game 6 in which LeBron said something about "not stepping on coaches toes" and "you can only say so much" Personally I see LeBron having a great game and losing in a close one which is why the only thing that disturbs me about taking Boston is, -1.5? Are you serious? Looks like the biggest trap of 2010 so far. All intelligent thoughts not pertaining to LeBron and his game 5 performance are welcome.

I like Boston here. BOL on your play!Comment -
Defense wins championships, well in this case a berth to the Eastern Conference Championship series. Put it to rest Lebron is the MAN, but he can't do it alone its just that plain and simple. Unless the Cavs play some surprising defense tomorrow it won't matter if Lebron goes off or not. Celtics -1 i'm booking it in right now!Comment -
I agree with you post 100%. The Celtics are a better "team". I feel like even if Lebron is himself the Cavs will lose.Comment -
The line is just to make you overthink. Boston is loaded with experience. They wont let this slip away. Forget about the line. Boston wins by 4-5 at least.Comment -
There is no doubt that Boston is the better team but that line is fishy as a vietnamese prostitute. Boston should be -3.5 at least IMO. Also I have been watching the NBA closely since about 89-90 and I have seen way bigger upsets than if Cleveland were to win tomorrow.Comment -
It seems I am the only one over thinking it though, with the exception of a few Cleveland homers everybody is takin Boston and going large on it too. My buddy Jeremy has 200 on Boston and that is probably his biggest bet ever and that kid ****in blows ATS every game he just takes the favorites like SamsnCharge and he always bets the Overs and hes got the UNDER in the game.Comment -
Yeah something is up here I have a feeling. Don't the books EXPECT everyone and they're mother that's not located in Ohio to pound the celtics? To me the like should be like -4ish as that way some people would maybe take Cleveland, thinking they losing a close one right?
The game has the feel of the Orlando/Atl game 4 except except the Cavs have the talent to win so I'd expect the line to be a little lower the in that case (-7 I think it was).Comment -
i like the cavs they will play alot betterComment -
Sk, personally I would of placed it at -3.5 or -4 at least, knowing the public was gonna hammer it.Comment -
Another fishy line.Comment -
The Suns or Lakers would humiliate the Celtics. The Cavs would be a better series.Comment -
i like the under in cle/bos game 6Comment -
I capped CLE @ BOS as a pk, so the line seems right to me. IMO, betting percentages are skewed on small spread like this one. The difference between the bet % on BOS & CLE is at least partially being made up by Cavs backers taking the ML at +money for more value. I don't foresee this line moving that much before tipComment -
boston at home to go to the championship for that line is a great deal. good luck on your play. I would be curious to see the stat in the history of an underdog team with a chance to close it out at home would be. maybe i will see tomorrow. best of luckComment -
boston easy win tonight!Comment -
u might have something here.... that's why im only rolling with celtics w/ my normal bet. no need to go crazy betting-wise on this game. it's crazy as it is!Comment -
