Something I'm very curious to see is what the line will be for game 3.

Very good guess Onthereal,
opened today -2.5 and quickly went to -3.
Vegas lined this a sweep. Barring a blowout win of G3 by Cavs,
LBJ may not care to have to go back to Oakland for both ridicule
and another blowout loss.
Can't help but wonder if the Celts wouldn't have provided more
of an engaging matchup and a more competitive Finals series(?)

You can't be serious? The Cavs are way better then every other team except the Warriors. The Warriors are unbelievably stacked. Lol the Celtics? They would get annihilated... like beyond ugly. I'm talking 140-80 games

First off, I never said the cavs would win this series. I'm betting game by game. That's noted in prevoous posts all over the place. Secondly, I hinted a while back we definitely could see a 16-0 record here regifting the dubs this year for their gift to the cavs LAST YEAR.
I've made two bets so far these finals and call it stubborn or not, even though those two bets lost (1st quarter on both games), they were the right bets in my eyes. I lost basically on TWO buzzer beaters. I can live with that. I was hot, really hot, hitting 21 out of 24, then with these last two losses, the train slowed down. My capping was spot on in those two losses and I can live with tough losses like I had the last two first quarters. Just unlucky. The luck works both ways so it's all good.
Flipping the script? We'll see tonite exactly what that script is. In my eyes, the series starts or ends with game 3. The media is on their knees deep throating everything the dubs provide. It's comical. I mean, I get it but its a bit much. I've said it before: if played straight up, nobody beats the dubs, ever, so long as this team stays together. Nobody knows though if we start seeing some antics here come tonite. I smell them coming.....There will be some good value bets tonite and I plan on finding them as the day progresses. Time to get back on track and finish the great run I've had. I never gloat about my record but it's been f#ckin on fire. Yeah, I said it. Listening to some in these forums brag every day is repulsive. Hit 21 out of 24 and hit 60% over a course of 81 bets, then we talk. There are a few in here doing that, yet they are very humble. I like that. I respect that. You know who you are. Keep truckin.

Yeah, except the NBA Playoffs are all about matchups.
Boston is the only team (not your Cavs) to go into GS's
Waracle and win 2 years in a row.
And at home the Celts played the Dubs a lot tougher
and tighter than Clev ever has...
...just saying

Just wanted to point something out here. When I hear sage steel and others in the media talk of lebron James being tired I laugh my a$$ off. Really? The Cavs swept the first round resulting in a ton of time off, they then swept the second round which resulted in a ton of time off and then they had over a week off in between the conference finals and the finals. From there, they have had two days off in between every game. How is this guy tired? Don't talk to me about mileage and how it's his 14 the year. Sorry. If anything, this is the most rested lebron James has ever been! What I saw last game in the 4th quarter late by lebron was his acting. The deep breathes, the tired, slouching look.....this guy is the best in the business folks. I'm sure he is tired just like everybody else and even though he has the most minutes logged in NBA history, this is what he plays for. Something to watch.....the antics and if they continue, the media will hop on which they have already.
The sole reason why the "fatigue bs" is coming up is so that it gives him his "out" like two years ago. Can he do more? Sure. But he's doing a ton already so to help prevent the dents his legacy will take again if they lose, the fatigues card I said your out folks. Or it's to paint this picture so that more people get on the dubs. Well....so far it's working tonite. Listen, the series starts tonite everyone. Dubs took care of home court, no surprise but let's see what happens tonite. Lebron will get his but who will help out? There will need to be a helper other than kyrie and love. JR, Tristan, Frye, Korver....who steps up? I'm all about great storylines but this "fatigue bs" just isn't working for me.

I will also say this: in all my years watching sports, I have NEVER seen such a biased media towards one team nor have I ever heard so much crowning going on this early in a series. For every one thing discussed about the Cavs, we hear 5 about the dubs. Listen, I understand, the NBA is selling their product and getting those ratings but it's a bit much. It's nuts actually. The crazy thing is that on the other side, there is a dude named lebron James. I mean we are literally hearing people like Paul pierce crown this team for the next THREE YEARS. It definitely could happen but let's get through this year first. I wonder what would happen if the Cavs win tonite or better yet, somehow even this series. Can you imagine this media? A complete 180! Let's see how this unfold tonite.

Cavs may try their best to block shots and play defensive cuz they know one more game to lose, it may be over for them. This is the finals. Bookie may want to lead to game 7 to create drama. Lol. If I may share my opinions, i think with all the heats from the home team, Dubs may hesitate to shoot effectively. Physical game is needed carrying out by Cavs. So I am quite leaning on Under 1st half and whole game.
Btw, WNBA is quite on Under track today so I may relate (even tho they barely have anything in common but just saying)
Forgive if I barge.
Goodnluck sir

50-32 playoffs
I made two correct bets in the first quarters of this series but lost on buzzer beaters. I said I would hit this bet again and tonite, I am a man of my word. The playoffs have treated me very very well so I'm gonna stick with my capping, I'm gonna stick with my guns here and I'm going to think that the Cavs have an inch of pride here tonite.....at least in the first quarter. A good buddy of mine reaffirmed this so may end that is a sign. Who knows. I like this bet and with being unlucky the first two games, I'm hoping I'm right here game 3.
Cavs ML FIRST QUARTER

Cavs just can't get out of their own way. No perimeter defense at all and no common sense in transition.
50-33 playoffs now
