Maybe I'm crazy, so someone talk me out of it if that is the case... but I see a ton cappers on these forums and others lining up to take the under and the cavs when I see the opposite to be more likely.
Straight from covers.com:
Cleveland:
Under is 9-2 in CLE last 11 games as an underdog.
Over is 13-3 in CLE last 16 vs. NBA Atlantic.
CLE are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 Thu. games.
Boston:
Over is 9-3 in BOS last 12 vs. NBA Central.
Over is 7-3 in BOS last 10 home games.
BOS are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall.
Head to Head: Over is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings.
FURTHER, other info:
Over is 5-0 in Cavaliers last 5 games following a ATS loss.
Over is 6-0 in Celtics last 6 games following a ATS win.
Everything seems to favor the over, it's almost too good to be true which is why I am nervous.
Regarding the Celtics on the spread, I honestly believe Lebron's elbow is no longer 100%. I don't care if he blew up in game 4, I had tendinitis in my elbows when I was in high school and I couldn't play sports for almost a year before that completely went away (and it was incredible painful for the duration). I don't think he is 100% and without Lebron I'm just not that impressed with the Cavs... despite the fact I'm not very high on the Celtics either.
Either way, gonna pound the Magic hard whoever they play in the next round.
Someone give me some strong reasoning to talk me out of making these bets... at the moment I'm a strong lean to both the Celtics -1.5 (-110) and the Over 193 (-110).
