They are getting 18 tomorrow. They can get ROLLED and backdoor that. Its like when the heat gave them that many points. They have a lot to prove. But still Im hesitant with this group.

I agree + 18 on any professional team is an awful lot of points. I might have to get on top of that one too!

you meant to say why.....and its because why I just said. They were +18 AT MIAMI to lebron and the heatles and hung tough after losing to them by 30 at home. Cavs are on the verge of losing 18 straight. You dont think they can hang within 10-15?

18 is really high. Definitely worth a small play, but it's still too soon to see if they are finding a rythm. Can't get the 55 point loss to Lakers out of my head. I say Celtics are up 20 going into the fourth, but the cavs will back door in the last few minutes of the game.

Teams get +18 lines for a reason. Its cause they suck very very bad. Last years Nets never had a line that bad. Historically shitty teams dont do well covering spreads like this 19-29 ATS overall.

It's still possible if Lebron does not get a ring in the future.

that was earlier in the season when they still had varajao for interior D and something to play for
they got none of that now
mite be 20 points by the end of the 1st quarter like the lakers game
and oh yea, boston lost to the wizards a couple days ago ................

+17.5 at my book. I'm going to hit it medium. I don't care if they are down 30 at halftime, that is just TOO many points to be giving up.

It certainly is a tempting line but remember the cavs did not cover 15.5 in L.A, 17 in utah and 17.5 in Denver.

At the same time the Celtics have only been 17-33 against with double digit spread the last 3 years. They also have a road trip coming up so there is a good chance the starter get less minutes than usual.

Cleveland back to back Boston just lost a horrible game to wiz last game! By John wall desperation 3 bank shot! Boston at home! I say if Boston starter wasn't to play and they let they're bench play for them the line would be Boston -9. Hahaha now include the starters it's -18 haha
Boston was up last game by 16+ points on the wiz and somehow they came back now my guess is they learn from that and doc wouldn't allow a 16 point lead slip away to a effin lost!
The over play seem better to me but I like Boston -18 too

Would you really take that risk. It seems silly to me. It seems more like your hoping rather than them being able to cover. Boston could quite easily beat them by 25.

last year the nets was +16 at utah .. and utah covered... the cavs are on a b2b have some rhythm but they do suck with alot of injuries, the celtics are bad at covering spreads.. they might cover if they try ... i think the size of celtic is big enough to stop the cavs.. so celtics -18

Man, I dunno if I would even take 20 with that squad, especially on a back to back after a very disappointing loss. I'll consider it though and check the line movements later on in the day.

guys happens every year, the worst team in the league for the first half is always above .500 against the spread in the second half, normally convincingly so.
