Correct

[Brock Landers]

Cleveland played them real tough every time, even in Boston +7 is probably the play

[krk1030]

Like Cleveland plus the points.

[Tsoprano]

Probably going big on Celtics moneyline, and good amount on spread. 1st day of the seaso at Boston, the Cavs have a beating coming to them.

Agreed. Celtics are getting their rings. They will be pumped. Will play hard. And they play tough D on LeBron. Dont see how the Celtics can lose.

Over

[I.R.B]

Over N boston ML.

[ZBOIZ]

My first initial thought was Over!!! But I will not play this one!!

The Lakers and Portland might be your over

[krk1030]

Lets not forget when the Heat got their rings.

i think the play is boston, or dont play at all... cleveland was pretty bad in preseason, won only 3 games ... ya they played boston tight both times they played them in the preseason .... boston.... at home... for the first time since winning it all... look for them to pour it on... either play them or dont make a play

[I.R.B]

Boston N the Over.

[flyingillini]

I am on Cleveland and the over

[Iwinyourmoney]

sharp line. Close game, boston wins. I think clev plus points may be the play. Not sure yet

[Garso]

I like the over as well...

[jjgold]

I think Boston in 1st half

Can Lebron play them in another close game again??

[THEGREAT30]

I havent seen the spread yet with the site I use, but it seams to be -7 in other places, Lebron is the only one on either team thats played truly competitive ball in the last 3 months, I dont think the Celtics are three scores better at this point. I got the Cavs +7.

[Wilforth]

If the spread doesn't change:

Cavs 1Q
Celtics -7
Under 179.5

[fiveteamer]

Is this still pre season????

[SBR Lou]

Is this still pre season????

No. This is the start of the regular season.

[Tsoprano]

I think Boston in 1st half

Can Lebron play them in another close game again??

Nope.

[crisp]

i'm not certain but i think last years opening night all the dogs covered.

[sportsguy04]

For sure take Celtics at -7.

[InTheHole]

Boston Green

[tab]

Cavs +2 (1st quarter)
Cavs/celtics over 40 (1st quarter)
-the total went over 40 in 3 of the 4 regular season games in the 2007-08 season. In the 7 playoff games, 4 games went over 40, 2 games stayed under 40 and in one of the games, the celtics and cavs hit for 40.
-This total for the first quarter is really low and easily should go over. Just too many scorers on both teams in this game.

Don't you remember how pissed off Lebron was after game 7 last year?? Don't you think they can stay within 6-7 pts here, no way in hell he'll allow a Celtic blowout, plus do you really think Boston comes out in game one with the same fire and intensity after having the banner up and getting their rings...they'll be feeling good while the Cavs will be pissed.

[JC2008]

Boston will cover.

ya people tend to play some pretty good bball when their feeling good, lol. celts will cover

Cavs added Mo Williams a 17 pt scorer and Celtics lost Posey a 7.4 pt score and 4.4 board player who made over 100 3's and shot 38% on them last year...how many times did he come through last year at there end of games?? A lot...

[rossta4i]

Boston -3.5 1st half. why cause "I got that feelin, oh baby baby I got that feelin"

[tab]

Cavs +2 (1st Q) and +3.5 (h)
-I think cavs are a real bargain espcially when they are underdogs at half and the game. Betting favorites at the first half is not wise. You are better off taking the favorites like the celtics for the whole game. The cavs will not start fouling in the 2nd quarter like they will in the 4th quarter. Plus the cavs are solid on defense.

[SportsLockPicks]

Boston wins, Cavs Cover..Love the Cavaliers. Wait til gametime, this line will inflate bigtime...maybe as high as 9

[crisp]

sharps must be pounding the living piss out of the cavaliers. line is now +6. wtf?
