0.0000000001% chance CAVS lose tonight!

[DwightShrute]

isn't this a gimme? a no brainer?

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

so was game 1 right? if i was you id put my house deed on it

[AgainstAllOdds]

People dont seem to learn around here. They said the same thing for Cavs game 1 and then last night for Lakers game 2.


Anythings possible.

[DwightShrute]

would you bet the Cavs? ML or spread?

I just don't see them losing both home games.

[durito]

So, then you should bet 99.993% of your bankroll on -633

[csimmalavong]

i hope u are right

I would say you have to do whatever you think is right.

If you want to bet the Cavs ML, go for it. But if they lose and you get buried, your gonna be hurting.

[xyzky]

It's a lot of CHALK...

[Buckeye]

Nothing is for sure. I wouldn't say Cleveland is a lock as how are they going to be able to solve Orlando's inside game or three point shooting? I think Cleveland's best hope in Orlando comes out with not much intensity since they won game 1 and Cleveland will play with a bigger sense of urgency.

[MonkeyF0cker]

I'll take +100000 on the Magic for the max please.

[SportsTerminator]

Cleveland and the Laker series is different. The Lakers won game 1 Cleveland didn't. So the Lakers were more relaxed game 2. Cleveland have to win game 2 if they don't want to lose the series. Don't forget Cleveland were creaming Orlando first half by 16 they just let the lead slip like Orlando has done in the past. So Cleveland is well capable of demolishing this team. Cavs win tonight! No way they go 0-2 to Orlando.

[WileOut]

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Orlando won game 2 as well. If Orlando had Jameer Nelson they would be head and shoulders better than the Cavaliers. Lebron and Howard are a wash. Other than those 2 players, Orlando has 2 all stars, Cleveland has 1. Turk and Lewis vs. Williams.

If Nelson was there, he and Mo would be a wash and the Magic would be 2 all stars better than the Cavs. Orlando may still win this series even without Jameer because Alston is no slouch. He's not anywhere near as good as Williams but he has to be guarded because he can hit the 3 and he can get to the rim.

Lebron's future is not in Cleveland. They will bring him to New York either to the Knicks or to the Brooklyn team. A place where money is not a factor and they will surround him with all stars. The problem with the Cavs is that they have absolutely nobody to guard Howard and they have no inside offense other than Z, but Z can only play 25 minutes a game.

Orl ML, look at my thread "it is not impossible"

[Iwinyourmoney]

[Shark79]

Cavs pts and ML ... this is gonna get ugly.

[gambit718]

Hey Sharky, think this one goes under this time around?

[pavyracer]

There is no guarantee in sports, well except England beating San Marino in soccer all the time. Lebron looked injured when the game ended last time. Anyone watched him limping and blood coming out of his knee? What if he gets hurt tonight during play? Don't take anything for granted.

This is the playoffs he'll play with 1 leg lol. This isn't Iverson or McGrady we're talking about.

[LT Profits]

I wouldn't say .000000000000001% nor use the word Loc*, but I put Orlando's chances of winning this game straight up at no more than 10%.

Remember that Boston's only blowout win over Orlando came in Game 2 at home after the Magic stole Game 1 on the road, and I see the same thing happening here.

Besides, do you really expect a team that lost one meaningful home game all season to suddenly lose two straight home games in the playoffs?

[losturmarbles]

the zebras will make sure cavs win if its close.

[MonkeyF0cker]

10%? You should be absolutely huge on the Cavs ML then LT, at least 25% of your bankroll in fact.

[SportsTerminator]

After watching the pre-game interviews with the Cavs team. GAME 2 IS A LOCK! This might get ugly like Sharky said. This could be a similar to Houston vs. Lakers game 2.

[LT Profits]

I would never lay -600 on one game, but I concede that price actually has good value here.

[unde0087]

ya well game 1 could have been ugly instead they lost, I will take my chances with Magic +10

[DwightShrute]

I know that nothing is guaranteed in sports as a sure thing and Orlando is a great balanced hard working team. Without James getting hurt in the 1Q, I see them making a statement tonight!

that is just the thing, Cleveland made a statement in the 1st half in game 1, turns out you have to play for 4 quarters to make the statement worth a shit.

[LT Profits]

Flip side of that though is they may have underestiamted Orlando and thought they had the game won at halftime. They will stay focused for four quarters tonight.

[MonkeyF0cker]

I'd be more concerned that the Orlando bench outscored the Cavs 25-5 in game one than any type of statement game if I were backing the Cavs.

maybe so, but what i have learned from this years playoffs is always fade the obvious.

[MonkeyF0cker]

I'm not sure how the Cavs could underestimate them when they lost 2 of 3 to them in the regular season.

[jjgold]

Orlando can easily win again and by more than 10

Be careful here

[LT Profits]

I'm not sure how the Cavs could underestimate them when they lost 2 of 3 to them in the regular season.

Well, did you honestly think Magic had a chance after Cavs dominated first half? I meant Cleveland underestimated Orlado's resiliecy AT THAT POINT. They obviously had loads of respect at the start of the game.

[SportsTerminator]

Both of those games being IN orlando... If Cleveland had another game in Cleveland they would have won that and the season series would be tie 2-2...
