    Do NOT take the Suns tonight
    Books know that everyone and their grandmother's going to be on Phoenix.

    I could easily see a 6-point Suns win thanks to a vintage fluke bullshit NBA backdoor cover.

    If The Greek keeps Phoenix at 7 especially, stay away.

          What line would you feel comfortable with? Will Cleveland score enough to keep up?

            Damn, SBR has it @ -7½ (-110)
            Cleveland sucks, but that's still a lot of spread for the Suns...

                Suns are terrible, wouldn't surprise me if they cleaned house soon.

                    I agree with no coin on this.
                    Reading up on the card this AM I was definitely thinking about going big on the Suns just cuase Cleveland sucks so bad.
                    Then I thought twice and looked at the way Pinny was juicing Cleveland basically all day and decided No Play on this game for me.
                    This game smells like a backdoor cover is coming.

                      2 weeks ago they got within 8 on the road so I can see them keeping up. Besides they haven't played since saturday so you figure they regrouged and can manage to pull something off.

                                Where a team scores pointless points that have no effect on the outcome of the game but screw your bet. Perfect example: titans colts Thursday night game when the titans scored a TD as time expired with like 80% on IND -3

                                  backdoor covers can also refer to teams playing to win and not to cover a spread; for example a 5 point football underdog team going for it on 4th down in hopes to tie the game instead of kicking a field goal to cover the number. that's kind of te opposite as the titans/colts, but sometimes underdogs can get you too, not just favorites. but the Suns are the favorite so this doesn't matter.

                                    I got the Suns at -7.5. Oh well, I don't believe in "what the books think". I went with the better team and that's the Suns. They're making a small run right now, and they should take care of the Cavs easily.

                                      Warning. Lebron is not playing tonight for cavs so they won't b at full strength.

                                        Thanks! And is that just a coincidence when that happens, or are you guys saying they have some sort of a deal with books to **** up the result when public is on the spread, even though it doesn't really change anything for them?

                                                    Greek never even went to 7.5.

                                                        I would never advocate a Cavs play.
