I know that's Captain Obvious stuff. At +2.5, we can cover if game is tied and there's a bucket at the horn.

Depending on how it plays out, I do think the Sixers could be viable in Game 4, too. We'll see.
I totally agree with you on the +2.5. When you like something... you gotta go with what you like. I've seen games in which +3 is valuable. Oddly enough it does fall on 3... and at least you get your money back. I know someone will chime in and say... OMG... what's the juice on that? lol Well.. when I used Bovada a lot... they always had games at +3 for -115. Can't beat that lol when the typical line +2.5
