[bigboydan]

Go Cavs

[Junkyard Dog]

Lets Go Celtics

[bigboydan]

I need LeBron to score 50

[SBR Lou]

[bigboydan]

Need Boston SU.

I can live with Boston winning the game SU as long as they win by less than 8.

[pat venditto]

Good because I have the Celtics moneyline big.

[SBR Lou]

There you go PAUL, get heated the f*ck up baby, THERE YOU GO PAUL

[The_Kid]

Who saw Lebron take 10 steps on that drive to the hoop?

[Illusion]

The refs have to make sure LaFRAUD gets his points.

[13th Street]

This is the ugliest match-up in NBA history.
WNBA is higher scoring!
If this game break's 140, I will be very surprised.

[thezbar]

This game will define James career to a point. Is he good enough to one handily win a seventh game. I don't see it so far.

[pat venditto]

lebron pushed pierce into the crowd

This game is being played like the WNBA. Very slow paced and very low scoring.

[thezbar]

These teams don"t like each other.

[FreeFall]

anyone going to bet the 2nd half lines?

[13th Street]

anyone going to bet the 2nd half lines?

I'll probably be a dumbass and bet the second half.
I already have the OVER and I'm shocked it's actually on pace right now.
I'm sure that will change in the 2nd half.
These 2 teams are actually playing like real NBA teams!
WOW

[The_Kid]

O/U 88

Boston -2.5/Cleveland +2.5

Thoughts?

[seaborneq]

Cavs will not cover

[babaoriley]

Cavs would be the 2H play, according to the numbers, but that's making the very big assumption that they'll shoot better than 43-44% from the field. And after that 2Q killed my 1H Under, I'm just staying away from the total. Probably staying away from the 2H side also... Really, the only thing keeping this game over is FT's, but with a combined 35 at the half, who knows what will happen.

[Wilforth]

Pretty hard to tell.
The tempo might change in the 3Q and it might well go under. I'll stay off.

[The_Kid]

I'm going to bet the WNBA 2H.

Liberty -4

UNDER 72.5

[13th Street]

I like the OVER?
But that's only b/c of fouls in the 4th quater.
If Boston plays well in the 3rd, that will not be a factor.
The game will get out of hand.

So, slight lean with Boston -2.5
& OVER 88

O/U 88

Not betting but I lean to over

[Wilforth]

This is the ugliest match-up in NBA history.
WNBA is higher scoring!
If this game break's 140, I will be very surprised.

As you can see, it'll break 140. I suspect the 3Q will resemble the 1Q then it will again go over the posted 4Q total. It's all business!!!

[13th Street]

I'm going to bet the WNBA 2H.

Liberty -4

UNDER 72.5

I decided to make a very foolish Parlay

Liberty -4
Under 72.5
Boston -2
Over 88.5

For half unit.

I'm sure this is a stupid bet, but I wanted some halftime action


GL Everyone!

[babaoriley]

I ended up playing the damn over 88 and now we're on pace for 33 points in the 3rd quarter.

[babaoriley]

I ended up playing the damn over 88 and now we're on pace for 33 points in the 3rd quarter.

And of course I put a unit on the Cavs +2.5 after saying I'd "probably" stay away.

[bigboydan]

LeBron James has 30 right now and the Cavs are within 3. So I gotta shot.

[babaoriley]

I ended up playing the damn over 88 and now we're on pace for 33 points in the 3rd quarter.

And after 11 points in the first 4 minutes of the 3Q, we get 16 in the next 2:40. Actually setting up to be quite a game with two outstanding performances (FINALLY).

[seaborneq]

still will be blowout, don't get excited

[bigboydan]

still will be blowout, don't get excited

Thats what I'm afraid of sir.

[babaoriley]

still will be blowout, don't get excited

remember, this IS a team coached by Doc Rivers. Anything is possible.

[babaoriley]

Hypothetical Question for you Celts fans/backers: Would you willingly give up the technical FT/possession if if meant Rivers was getting thrown out and couldn't botch the 4th quarter?

[SBR Lou]

Come on Celtics how about a nice run...
