    He should have to shave his beard if Cavs lose this game. I'd bring that perv off the bench and start Schroeder.

    Scott Foster ain't in Cleveland for Pistons that's guarangawdamnteed. If Magic can score 112 and 113 off Detroit, I sure hope to hell Cavs can at home w backs against the wall and the Extender on the whistle.

    117-103 Cavs

    Cavs TT over 108.5

    over 213.5

    Cavs -5.5

    Cade has rendered Harden useless in this series. Any minute he plays on either end is a positive for Detroit.

    Harden is a regular season stat padder when no one plays defense.  When real basketball is played in the playoffs, he gets exposed.  Can't play defense.  His Iso ball style doesn't work against a defense like Detroit that can't put pressure on the ball.  Age has also caught up with him as he looks a tad slow.  He's not exactly athletically gifted compared to his NBA peers.

    The Cavs should rebuild after they get kicked out the playoffs. Harden is a proven cancer but they got smoked last year too. Rebuild

    If you know how he really plays then you know something is off with him. Just come back after this game on how his stats would end up

    James is not what he once was , and he seems to like being a complementary piece, but at 110-109 he did hit that clutch 3 ball.

    Let it ride.

    OKC TT under 110.5

    Lakers +9.5

    Capers only allowed a handful of road teams to get over this TT last few seasons. I kinda think the League knows if Lakes get smoked in this game they no show G4 so good for viewership to keep this one close.

    107-104 somebody

    How on Gods green Earth is that 1st half total 103.5?

    Thunder have gone over that # in every playoff game v Phx and LA thus far. In regular season matchups LA and OKC went over this # in all 4 meetings.

    i smell a rat.

    under 103.5 1st half
