Orlando has better talent with KG out and still they are in a dogfight and a Game 7 for one reason--BAD COACHING
Ron Van Jeremy is horrible as a coach when it comes to close games. WHen tough decisions are needed, the mans butthole puckers up. I wouldnt trust my money in that mans hands ever.
Everyone knows when the games have been close, you have Celtic big men consisting of Perkins, Michael Rapport, Glen Davis, and seldom used Mikki Moore--you go downlow to the big guy. Not throw up some jackup three pointer or have Rashard Lewis play with his back towards the hoop.
Rivers will outcoach this bum in Game 7 and the Celtics will move on only to their ASSES kicked against my Cavaliers.

Being from Cleveland here's my insight being a huge Cavs fan--They are a different team without Z out there. Z can stretch the floor with the bigs for LBJ, West, and Mo to slash towards the hoop. Without him it takes away from their games and lately they have struggled a little bit. The linemakers are giving the Cavs their due with this line but if I were to play it I'd play the Nuggets as much as it pains me to say it. The Cavaliers are a damn good team but without Z and Boobie playing, i'm not sure about more playing tiime for Wally and Sasha. I like Sasha defensive game but he tends to turn into the blackhole on O and like to shoot outside too much. Hope I'm wrong but I'd play the Nuggets tonight...

This line is very fishy--Being from Cleveland and a Browns fan, this line should be at 7 at least. The Browns are beat up defensively, players are calling out the O.C., and the coach is dead man walking. The team didn't even show up last week and that been reported by various sideline reporters. This team is a mess and I just can't see the Colts not beating the Browns by at least 20.
The Browns secondary is horrible at everything--can't tackle, can't cover, and the D-Line GETS ZERO PRESSURE if its not Shaun Rogers (and he's banged up). On offense your going back to the original starter Derek Anderson who the home crowd doesn't like (throws better ball but crowd will boo first bad throw guarentee), Edwards another player who the crowd is against because he can't catch period. So basically right now the Browns wish this game was in Indy
Manning wil pick apart this defense since he will have all day to throw. Also the Browns give up chunks of yards against the rush so wouldn't be surprised if Addai gets over 130.....
Only way Browns make this a game is if its a shootout, and I just don't see Edwards catching the ball consistently....Colts 38 Browns 17

Wake is just too big and physical for Cal State Fullerton---Look for Wake to wear them down and easily cover the 11---Wake 92 CSF 71

Let me give my two cents on this game being from Cleveland and a Browns fan. I liked the Browns earlier in the week and especially when the line stayed the course. But now with Winslow more than likely being out and Shaun Smith being downgraded to doubtful, I will just play the over in this game. The Browns D-Line is all banged up with both Smiths (Shaun and RoBaire) being out and our starting safety Sean Jones may play but will be limited.
On offense Heiden will fill in for K2 and even though K2 is the far better receiver, Heiden is a very good blocker and might work to the Browns advantage in the run game. Ryan Tucker (RT) will be making his first start of the year and this guy is our glue that holds the line together. I'm sure he'll be rusty a little but he's solid as it gets.
It will all come down to a few things: Field position for the Browns (Cribbs) and DA being able to make some throws downfield and not making dumb mistakes. If he does that early then the Giants will cruise to a victory. If the Browns come out and get the ground game going which will open up the air game then they can make a game of it.
Defensively for the Browns, if I'm the Giants I pound the ball and wear down the depleted D-Line. After Shaun Rogers and Corey Williams, its a makeshift d-Line. Once that happens then the Browns are on their heals and Manning will have a field day going downfield........
I'm hoping my Browns come out like a bunch of wild dawgs and get the Giants playing from behind. I see a Giants win if the above scenerios don't pan out for the Browns---GMen 31 Browns 17

As soon as I saw this line I jumped on Detroit +4.5 and here are my reasons-----
1) Boston has played two Game 7's and their legs are not there IMO. Pistons have been off and are well rested and are a mission. They proved alot to me when they were down 2-1 to Philly.
2) Boston hasn't impressed me and if the Cavaliers had one more step up, besides LBJ, in any of the 4 games in Boston, they would of one 2 games easily. The Pistons not only have two but they have 3 if not 4 guys that can put the ball in the hoop with consistency.
3) Billups will lockdown Rando and have his way with him. Wallace can play as a big or take his game outside and he will put that Perkins STIFF to shame. KG will get his on whoever is guarding him but Allen will struggle at both ends on Hamilton. Allen is looking OLD BIGTIME and RIP will be able to expose that. Add in Prince and his stellar defense he will lockdown Pierce. Pierce had a great Game 7 but at the same time, he's beat from having to cover LBJ for 7 games......
Pistons +4.5 Game 1 BIG
Pistons for series BIG and win it in 5
Boston has been exposed for what they are, good home team who can't win on the road. Your not winning a Championship not ebing able to win on the road. Pistons take 1 out 2 in Boston and then take next 3..........HOW BOUT THAT CHOWDAHEADS!!

Cleveland honk here and here's my insight on tonight's game. Getting the Cavaliers +8.5 or 9 is a gift. These two teams are all about defense and getting anything more then 4 is a gift IMO. All these games will be close and never out of reach. LeBron coming off a horrible performance in Game 1 adds so much more value on the Cavs. Even though Pierce struggled that's going to happen the rest of the series while LBJ is on him. Allen should bounce back but doesn't scare me at all. Garnett is the serious mismatch for the Cavs and I was surprised Doc Rivers didn't go to him more in Game 1. The Cavs will give him the outside shot rather him playing down low. The Celtics don't have anyone to matchup with Z so he should continue to put in 20 and get his usal boards.
I see Boobie matching Allen in points so then it comes down to bench play---Cassell had a nice game 1 but Brown will pay more attention to him. Other then Cassell and maybe Posey, the Celtics are thin. The Cavs can turn to Joe Smith, Devin Brown, Sasha P, or even Damon Jones (but don't look for that to happen) to ge some scoring............
All in all its going to be a clsoe series throughout and look for more the same tonight-----Cavs +8.5 for me!!!
Cavs 90 Celtics 84 LBJ 34-13-8

Here's my two cents on this game being from Cleveland and all. I told you all in Game 4 LeBron would go off and respond. This is another one of those game as LeBron has been chomping at the bit to play this game. The King after leaving the question & answers after Game 5 was heard saying to his entourage "I f'd up this game for us" This has been reported by credible reporters in the Cleveland area. Plus LeBron didn't speak to the media after yesterday's shoot around and that doesn't happen with him. Now all this can mean squat to some of you but for people who have followed this kid throughout his WHOLE career, LeBron responds BIGTIME after hard loses, especially ones he blames himself for---
Now I was at Game 5 and here's what you can take from it---Cavaliers missed 15 layups, not jumpshots, LAYUPS!!! Nobody stepped up to help LeBron and when that happens usually Cleveland loses. Usually after a sloppy game the Cavs comeout guns a blazing and have a really sharp game. With the suspension of Songala (sp") that will help Z alot. Z has trouble covering DS due to his outside jumper. Z has to respect that therfore putting vulnerable to a quick drive to the hoop. Now all he has to do is worry about Haywood who is all about the inside game. The Wizards LACK OF DEPTH will be the reason they lose tonight. The Cavaliers are pissed the way the bigs were killed on the boards in Game 5. Look for the Cavs to attack the hoop and get the Wiz into foul trouble early.
If Mike Brown has any brains he'll put LeBron on the block early and get these guys into foul trouble. If LeBron is out past the top of the key just dribbling as the shot clock is ticking down past 5 seconds then the Cavs will be playing Game 7 in Cleveland.
But my opinion is the Cavs pound the glass, out rebound the Wiz, and the Wiz having no bench after early foul trouble. LeBron goes off for 38-10-10 and Boobie, Z, and West all throw in double digits for a Cavs 102-88 win...gl to all

I'm from Cleveland so obviously I'm a Cavalier fan. The Wiz had everything going for them in Game 3 as it do or die. But the worst thing that could of happened, HAPPENED. The crowd chants of "overrated" to LeBron is the kiss of death. You do not give this kid any extra ammo. That just fuels already sick desire and look for LeBron to put another sensational performance today. The past two days you can just sense something special going to happen and here comes another 2007 Game 5 Eastern Conference Finals vs Detroit performance...............Cavs plus whatever the points, hell I'd even give points today (lol ok maybe not)

I live in Cleveland so obviously I follow the Cavaliers. When the trade was made for Wally, Big Ben, and West, it was made for the playoffs. Even though this team hasn't played at the level in which they need to, one thing will push this team. And that's the comments by the Wizards. I liked the Wizards when the matchups first came out just due to the Cavs not jelly and too many question marks. But when the Wizards opened up their pieholes, they just entered a whole new level. LeBron has been injured with the back the past 5 plus games but the last game against Philly was all I needed to see that he was ready for the playoffs. HE WILL PUT THIS TEAM ON HIS BACK AT LEAST FOR THIS ROUND AND MAKE THE WIZ PAY for the comments he's "Overrated" and "they want the cavaliers". When will teams learn, don't trashtalk LeBron. Go ask the Pistons what that got them last year. This year the Pistons haven't said squat because they know he can take over whenever he wants. (Just not against the Spurs)

Both teams are playing no defense whatsoever lately. Since Hughes joined the Bulls are more an up tempo team. Last 5 games both teams are scoring over 100 points while giving up more then 100 a game.
4 plays
Over Wash-Chi
Under Tor-NJ
Under Atl-Phi

Rockets may continue the streak but give me 7 points and the Hornets all day all night. Look for a close game throughout....
1* Over 224 Den/Utah
1* New Orleans +7

Taking the Over here of 224ish---My theory of Denver not playing any defense went out the door yesterday against the Spurs but I look for that to come back tonighti n Utah. These two teams scored 233 and 229 in two prior meetings. Add in they both played last night and you have a game of sluggish defense and alot of scoring......
1-1 This week

Plain and simple, until Denver learns to play any sort of defense, they will not be able toplay with the big boys. San Antonio has been playing great ball as of late just like Houson. Denver just has a bunch of me guys while the Spurs know how to win games as a team. I'll take San Antonio getting points against a Denver who can't defend anybody. Another great spot play IMO
1*Unit San Antonio +2.5
1-0 this week
