    Spurs vs Cavs: Remember my crystal ball?
    I'm taking the Under until its set below 174. Even with the extra rest I doubt the winner in game 1 will have over 92. My stake will be on every Under.

    As for the Moneyline. the Cavs are a "game dog". At +330 on the ML its tempting to reason this team will steal one of the first 3 games played in SA. Tempting but not terribly profitable.

    As for the sides; We are looking at lines where as SA will be favored in every game. SA -7.5 in gm 1 and SA -7 in gm 2. In games 3, 4 and 5 SA will be -2.

    If you buy the arguement that this will be a low scoring series you simply can't go laying -7.5 points. I like the Cavs and the points in games played in SA. The games in Clevland I like the Spurs at -2. This will not be home court oddly enough for the young Cavs. It will add tremendous pressure coupled with the fact SA is a tremendous road team.

    Good luck to everyone!!

    No way James can beat this team all by himself and if he does he already will go down as the greatest ever in his 4th year. I think Spurs are just too strong and should win 4-2. I have no clue about who will cover each game. I am a fan and not a compulsive gambler.

      Under 180 is the play tomorrow night. I'm staying away from a side in the first 2 games. I think SA will win both comfortably, but 7.5 leaves the back-door open. Assuming the Spurs win the first 2, I will be on the Cavs in Game 3, which I think will be the only game they win in the series.

          Thanks Slash, so far the Cascade crystal ball has been spot on...ie no payouts for a couple of months...and there has been none.

          A real gambler would take the Cavs at +330 in the first and +300 in the 2nd. There is about a coin flip chabce that Cleveland gets out of SA with a W. I think Cav's backers have the refs solidly on their side in the 1st 2 games. It would be an NBA disater to have the Spurs sweep in 4 straight blowouts.
