    Even better is when they say, 'Blowout, but I don't want to lay 6 points....ML just in case'.

    Cavs played 86 games this season including sweeping the Pacers
    and resting their bones means what.. that they forget how to gel ?

    Don't see it.

    Snowball...I respect you, but you have to admit this thread is a bit funny... "Blowout" so we buy the hook on a 6.5 line...Blowout IMO means 15+

    BOL though buddy

    Line seems short. Assuming homecourt is worth 3, i'm not buying game will be a pick em in Toronto. Cleveland would be at least 8 if books liked them.

    That's what i thought.. Line does seem very short, I was expecting 9 or 10 points myself... Hope it's not a trap setup ...

    Cavs rested and at home, game one of the series is a must win, Cavs have owned the Raptors at home as well in the past..

    If you like Toronto this is the best opportunity. Cavs haven't played in a while. Toronto started sloppy against Bucks but the made the right adjustments to the line up to dominate the final 3 games.

    Toronto built the team with moves during the season just to face Cavs. Tucker was brought in just for the purpose of defending Lebron. Toronto definitely has slight edge in defense here. I think Toronto +6.5 is the play here or pass. Moneyline is worth the stab as well.

    ^^ Not sure by just adding Serge Ibaka and PJ Tucker represents a "build of the team" to take out the Cavs this year.. Remember Cavs added some pieces as well this year.. D-Will playing like the old D Williams is just one addition paying off when Kyre sits.. Cavs bench is stronger this year then last..

    Facts -

    Cavs coming off a dominate sweep of the Pacers.. Looking to be firing on all cylinders right now.. Rested and prepared now to face the Raptors..

    The Raptors are 1-11 all time in Game 1 of playoff series. The Cavs are 15-1 against Eastern playoff teams at home dating back to 2015.

    Frye shot better than 58 percent against the Raptors during the playoffs last year, and Cleveland earned its wins by an average margin of 15.5 points.

    I would suggest waiting until the first half is over, to see whet mode the Cav's are actually in???? Then play the second half and live bet. Just a thought. You might get some good prices for the second half, of course depending on the score. The Cav's with big leads tend to let the other team back in it..... BOL snowball.

    44 mag I just feel the Cavs are ready to roll.. they just watched Toronto almost lose,
    did you watch that game ? Raptors had a massive lead then let the Bucks back into it.
    Cavs were attending a watch-in party at Lue's house.
    From that party comes a plan - they are ready to ball.
    Waiting for a live entry and turning down -6 can lead to never seeing the -6 again also
    We know the Cavs are capable of 48 minute domination.
    This is the playoffs not a regular season game.

    That wasn't a dominant sweep:.. what golden state did to Portland was a dominant sweep

    Any 4 game sweep in a seven game series is dominate as far as I'm concerned.. Was it as dominate as the Warriors sweep of the Blazers no it wasn't.. I will agree with you there...

    Thanks, I go by past trends and current play over anything else.. I'll bet on those numbers and trends in this game all day long... I'd be very surprised if the Raptors win this game..

    I think raps have won one game 1 in their franchise history, so maybe they do get blown away.
