Yes. We will be 2 of the few making a right call Mac. I will be able to give you the winner of this game after the first 6-8 minutes.

I can guarantee you, Charles Barkley drop everything he has on the Boston too !

I agree, live betting is prob the safest route. Just try to notice the pace of the game, and that will prob dictate how the game will turn out.

I also think the 2nd half bet will be much easier to figure out as well. If the cav's are down double digits at half then they will tank. If it's close or the Cav's are winning decisively then take the Cav's. Much better move betting this way tonight. Too many unknowns coming into this game. Why not wait a bit.

If I was yet to make my play, I would 100% agree that waiting on the line is a good call at this point

you and i both enjoy live betting... I agree I would either no play or live bet to get a good value on my lean. SOOO many unknowns would definitely be more comfortable seeing how they come out.

Actually he has his whole life on the cavs.

Not exactly comforting, given the league we're talking about here.

Does the NBA really want a long layoff between the semis and finals?

BIGDAY · 05-13-10, 05:22 PM

Followed Lakerboy and went big on the home court! Go Boston!

adam3401 · 05-13-10, 05:23 PM

after reading everything thats been said on here up until now, i personally think celtics will win. However, i do see both sides. Hearing the argument that Lebron wont have 2 horrible games in a row, he'll have more intensity, etc.. are all valid. on the other hand, you see that the celtics are a aging veteran group of guys who want another ring, are at home in the garden, and have an up n coming PG who can blow by the guards CLE has been putting on him. It was interesting to hear your guys opinions on stern, the nba being rigged, or that lebrons meds are affecting him mentally. All make sense to me so im not doubting it. I feel that there are more things in the favor of taking the celts at home..GL to everyone betting today regardless on who you pick. I'll be following BOS at home tho, just my .02

this game will give us a clear picture of whether or not the nba is in vegas back pocket.

I don't get what goes on in your brain. You're such an indecisive, radical thinker. Teams that sweep get that advantage- simple as that. Stop looking at the line movement, stop looking at public %s, and study the matchup carefully. There will be no "fix" tonight- the better team will win the game.

7secondsOrLess · 05-13-10, 05:28 PM

NO! He going with the percentage. It was like 83% or something, where the home team closes out a team out facing elimination as a visitor going into a game 6.

Even he can't be that dumb to pass that up. Then again, maybe he's hoping they pull a Boston Redsox like the 2004 ALCs.

Everything about this game from the spread to the ref assignments speaks to impartiality on the side of the NBA. Emphasizing what the league wants over the details of the actual matchup is not handicapping. Conspiracy theories are for kids living in their parents basements...

"Study the matchup"? Yeah, that really gets you answers.

Let's see: in Game 1, Boston came out and hammered Cleveland for 2.5 quarters. Then Cleveland hammered Boston.

In Game 2, Boston hammered Cleveland in Cleveland.

In Game 3, Cleveland hammered Boston in Boston.

In Game 4, Boston shut Cleveland down. Then in Game 5, when everyone and their dog -- including you -- expected LeBron and his boys to lay the hammer, they rolled over.

If you can come up with something conclusive for what to expect tonight based on this series' history and matchups, be my guest. I'm all ears.

I'm just saying the NBA probably doesn't want a weekend without games.

This guy can't be serious? I'll tell you something to expect based on this series' history, Rajon Rondo is too much for Mo Williams, KG is too much O and D for Jamison, Shaq plays no D and Paul Pierce in game 5 finally found a rythym. I could go on for days.

The only people that should be betting this game are people that have closely followed the NBA for over 5 years. You seem like you are new to the NBA- maybe a few years- no disrespect. But you're looking at things you shouldn't be looking at.

New to betting the NBA? Yes. But I've watched it for 25-plus years.

I'm surprised at how arrogant you're being here, given how many of your picks have crashed and burned lately. No disrespect.

Haha, yes I had 1 horrible week and still over 60 percent for the playoffs. 60 percent is not even good. I sound arrogant because although there are way better cappers on this site than me, no one knows more about the NBA. Good luck whatever you decide to do.

BTW- I didn't expect Lebron to lay any hammer in game 5, If I did, I would have bet Cleveland for the game. I ended up taking them second half only for only $150. Get your facts straight.

Dude, they were down 6 or 7 at half, yet you took the 2nd half bait because you expected LeBron to lay the hammer. If you didn't, you wouldn't have put any $$$ on them at all.

"No one knows more about the NBA" than you? Give me a break. How can you say that about a group of total strangers -- especially ones who are capping better than you in the postseason?

True it was a bad call. Are you serious NC? Who knows more about the NBA than me on this site- please tell me. The only people on my level of NBA knowledge are "Tealish" and "Williams22"

Ok, LakerBoy has a horrible postseason record- does that mean that "Chris Johnson" is a better capper/knows more about the NBA b/c his record is better this postseason? Get real man.

Chris Johnson- you're a fool. And anyone that quotes you without talkin down to you is a fool. I don't talk down to ppl- I'm just arrogant, and you need to earn my respect. If you don't want it, you don't have to have it. Good day.

Your arrogance gets funnier by the post.

Capybara · 05-13-10, 06:38 PM

Hey Gents. Busy thread here!

I believe Lebron will have a huge game tonight, however I see my C's taking it.

Go Green!! 18, Baby!!!!

anjaru · 05-13-10, 06:41 PM

Can we all be in agreement prior to this game starts that if the Cavs win, there will be no claims of "Stern/refs rigged this game?" I'm on the cavs, and if I lose I will say it's because I am stupid, and that reason alone is why I lost money.

BIGDAY · 05-13-10, 06:42 PM
