    Cleveland Cavs +720 against the Heat...

    Going to throw a couple units on this. I know the Cavs have an AWFUL road record, but it looks like they're finally starting click (5-1 in last 6-- best winning span since the Lebron era). The players are starting to understand Mike Brown's defensive schemes and it looks likes the coach has finally figured out his rotations. Kyrie Irving has finally shaken off his awful shooting slump and is avering 30 ppg over the last 3, while Waiters has accepted his role off the bench as "instant offense." We all know that Miami has troubles playing with the "big" teams, so it Cleveland can squeeze something out Bynum, Varejao, and Thompson, this should really be a dogfight to the end. Not to mention, Miami has not looked inspired this season. Cavs almost took one from the Heat last season but blew a 20 point lead. It's worth a shot on the ML with the way they're playing.

    Heat might lay an egg here. Looking forward to the Pacers game. GL

    Is, he serious??? After all the rest Miami has had and coming home to face his old team with everybody available, I'm sure they will want to crush the Cav's, who are not very good to begin with, especially on the road. Miami all day...

    This is just a case of someone trying to pick a 'spot' on a huge underdog to win to look 'sharp'

    Good luck with whatever you pick but Def not a ML play

    I hope he is only betting $1.00 on this. I saw a guy yesterday post his three plays , all for $5.00 each. Why bother. Who even takes that kind of action ???

    Very true, typical Miami play when they feel like it. I think tonight they feel like it. That road trip wasn't very successful. They will ratchet it up @ home and cruise.

    Because they don't have a large bankroll to start out, likes the research and wagering on games and can keep a record of wins/loss % and will see if they can make it profitable. Weather you lay $5 or $500 per game, if you have a losing record, you're fuked. If you have a winning record, you prove to yourself that you can do it, then can start to lay more $$ on games. Seems pretty smart to me to start out so you don't lose your house...

    Sad but true. Just hope it isn't this one. they have lost enough easy ones already, and are not killing themselves so far. Like the other day vs. Indy LBJ comes out and says just another game, the hype is for the other team and the fans. I guess that means they weren't going to try, and they didn't. LOL

    The players are buying into Mike Brown. Kyrie Irving is playing defense this year and his offense has definitely caught up. Cleveland has a lot of bigs and will hit the glass hard and make hit difficult for Miami to score on the inside. The Heat are soft. Brown also has been rotating two teams with the 2nd consisting of Waiters, Varejao, and Jack. There's some depth their to. They're turning the corner and Shaq thinks they're the 3rd best team in the east. Spread is a give, but ML hit looks good. It all adds up...

    Already played CLE this season, if James was looking to make a statement at cleveland's expense, that was it. However, may be some truth to that Miami steaming after indy loss in particular, and makes this graphic. I can't take it, but I do see some value here based on your points, OP.

    It's hard to go against the Heat at home after a loss. Cavs are playing better, but don't know if they cash ML.

    Ok. I loaded up on this one. Really like the odds here. Don't normally post plays here, but I have a gut feeling...
    3 units CAVS ML +910
    3 units CAVS +13
    Will be back at game time.

    Cavs just need to hang around. Brown has done a good job with these guys.

    never had a chance. 0 defense being played by the cavs so far. Heat could score 150 here if they wanted to.

    You obviously only like to watch half a game and then call it a day. Heat come out flat. 9 point game.

    Heat down 2 now. How big was the Heat lead? Wasn't it 16 or 18? These guys are truly pathetic. Down 4 now.

    Got up to 19. Lots of game left but the CAVS are finally learning to be competitive and win. Mike Brown is a good coach and he deserves a lot of credit for what we're seeing.

    Uh oh. Bron Bron waking up. Why doesn't he just take games over more? Can get to the rim any time he feels like it.

    I hate to say this, but the CAVS were playing better without Irving in. I'd put him on the bench and get Jack back in there...

    Errr. Tough loss. Up 4 points with 3 minutes but Heat turned it up. CAVS have some maturing to do, but they've made some nice progress. Easy cover. ML loss.
