    Sorry bob I have no idea what side you are on anymore with all your reverse jinx threads. That has to stop. Just pick a side and be forthright about it.

    +16.5 on 5 Dimes now.

    Never in my life....A number one seed. Like this team is chopped liver without Thomas....Like this coach isn't competent. Like they don't play defense. Like they don't hit outside shots.

    The record keeps growing....another half a hot dog down the gullet....

    And the squares keep laying the number.

    I am ALL FOR GOING SQUARE at the right time folks. But not at a price that is unforeseen in possibly my lifetime!!!

    Who cares if they are the better team!

    16 not only compensates you for that fact, it literally puts a dump truck worth of points on your lawn to overcompensate your for it!

    I got fukd the other day when the line was - 5 and my local went up to - 7.  Maybe I'm stupid b/c I took the pts, but it's really hard for me to believe a team getting beat like they did on Friday has any plans on fighting on Sunday. + 16 damn whole lot of pts, but this TEAM quit and are scared of the CAVS. I seen guys from BOS actually helping CAVS players up when they knocked them down *** bulls$it *** this is the playoffs have some balls. I don't blame the coach I blame the players and leadership in the locker room.  This TEAM is emotionally shot completely helpless. CAVS have absolutely no remorse for BOS and little to no respect.  If you think for 1 second King James will let his TEAM play for nothing less than a blowout.  Your crazy! I get it +16 too many pts, but if they only win by 10 or 15 it's a let down for this CAVS TEAM. Going into this game just to keep CAVS focused I'm sure they are wagering amongst themselves they can beat this BOS team by 20.  Anything less is unacceptable.  They know who's waiting for them around the corner and this series is a statement before we get to the finals.  No pride for BOS and therefore no cover.

    One thing I will say about BOS coach in his post game interviews he's just amazed and damn near nutting in his pants about CAVS. It's almost as if he's coaching the CAVS and just said the hell with my team. If I was IT I wouldn't play either when your own coach having wet dreams about the other team.  Damn shame how the game is played now of days.  


    CAVS - 16 EASY

    I got fukd the other day when the line was - 5 and my local went up to - 7.  Maybe I'm stupid b/c I took the pts, but it's really hard for me to believe a team getting beat like they did on Friday has any plans on fighting on Sunday. + 16 damn whole lot of pts, but this TEAM quit and are scared of the CAVS. I seen guys from BOS actually helping CAVS players up when they knocked them down *** bulls$it *** this is the playoffs have some balls. I don't blame the coach I blame the players and leadership in the locker room.  This TEAM is emotionally shot completely helpless. CAVS have absolutely no remorse for BOS and little to no respect.  If you think for 1 second King James will let his TEAM play for nothing less than a blowout.  Your crazy! I get it +16 too many pts, but if they only win by 10 or 15 it's a let down for this CAVS TEAM. Going into this game just to keep CAVS focused I'm sure they are wagering amongst themselves they can beat this BOS team by 20.  Anything less is unacceptable.  They know who's waiting for them around the corner and this series is a statement before we get to the finals.  No pride for BOS and therefore no cover.

    One thing I will say about BOS coach in his post game interviews he's just amazed and damn near nutting in his pants about CAVS. It's almost as if he's coaching the CAVS and just said the hell with my team. If I was IT I wouldn't play either when your own coach having wet dreams about the other team.  Damn shame how the game is played now of days.  


    CAVS - 16 EASY

    CAVS - 16 EASY


    Cavs can play for a blowout.

    12-13-14-15-16 is considered a blowout. And we win with every number (as it has gone to 16.5 on 5Dimes).

    You all keep saying this about the Cavs yet justify nothing they'll win by17+. And you can't do that. There is no justification for it.

    If you lay 17 here, you have to win by a MINIMUM of 18 to cover.

    That is a spread that isn't even given out in the NFL where one score is 6 pts.

    Not even the god-awful Browns got such a number. Books just don't want to give it out.

    Think about that. Just let such a thought ruminate before you lay that kind of record-breaking chalk so willingly....

    Think of all the rivers of bankroll blood that will be spilled by the squares as they continue to drive this number up to the heavens...


    Their only words, as they sit in a pile of ash, in tattered rags, dragging a piece of broken pottery across their arm, like Job of the Bible, muttering....

    "How could I have been.....

    With Thomas out the Celtics can throw out a very good defensive squad. Thomas for as brilliant as he is offensively, he's also one of the worst defensive players in the league.  

    Smart, Bradley, Crowder, and Horford are all excellent defenders. Those four will see a lot of minutes tonight.  Also Jaylen Brown is athletic enough and active enough to be a nuisance on defence.  That 5 man line-up should get the bulk of the minutes i'd imagine and its a line-up that i personally like a lot.  Five versatile defensive players, with acceptable offensive capabilities. Maybe we see a little bit of Terry Rozier, Olynyk at the 5 when Horford is resting, and maybe a smidgen of Amir Johnson and Gerald Green depending on the matchup.  Going with two big men doesn't make sense when the bigs need to be able to guard the perimeter with Love and Frye out there. Basically only need one big to stay with Tristan Thompson when he's in the game, everyone else on the Cavs is a perimeter player.

    With that said Boston doesn't have enough offence to win this game. But i think they have enough defence to cover 16 points and the backdoor is always open.  Might be wishful thinking but I think Cleveland wins by 12-15 points and the Celtics find a way to cover.  Will be placing a small entertainment only wager on Boston +16.5 and hope for the best.  GL

    First half, though, I think Cleveland makes a statement. I'll ride that one.

    Celtics are going to lose by 20. King James is on a mission. There's literally no mercy. They were up 40 at half time and 2nd half all the starters kept going.

    I can justify the win by 17.

    It's because LeBron feels the mass media's doubters that he's GOAT
    and he has one sure-fire way to make their talk less loud.
    Back-to-back blowouts. 

    Olynyk made sure LeBron has one less ring - and the documented
    same cheap play he tried on Robin Lopez when the Bulls were
    spanking their behinds the 2nd time in a row — for Boston to
    retain Olynyk's services is what makes LeBron and the whole team
    despise with great passion the entire Celtics organization.
    LeBron knows that an organization thru inaction, sanctions dirty play;
    he knows that a much poorer team in a much smaller market
    like Sac can and did show Boogie the door out (for doing a lot less)
    and Boogie is at least double the impact of play compared to Olynyk.

    It's because LeBron is not doing any Bookies any favors
    knowing what he has now learned from what his buddy
    D.Wade who's learned about the Chgo mob & MJ's Dad.

    Bron knows GS watches his army, as they know Cavs watch them
    (and not just the scouts and advance-club stat guys - the players)
    and when GS beats Portland at home by 29,
    then just recently topped that by beating Spurs by 36...
    well, I think you get the picture
    the Cavs will equal the record-blowout to show that it was no fluke
    whilst, in turn, it sends a shot across the bow of Waracle Arena.
    GS topped out at  -14 and won by 36
    36 !!  And against the Spurs, no less !!
    Therefore the Cavs, to feel asgreat as the Dubs, MUST
    win by at least 36 points.

    And you expect Lebron to respect -16 ???
    He'll need his team to win by more than 36 points
    (because the Celts are considered far less worthy an opponent
    than are the Spurs)
    Bron has to feel he & his team have once again been disrespected,
    for that # isn't at least -23 as it, at least, ought to be.

    LBJ knows his supporters feel it's a case of
    the NBA's GOAT vs. the midget line of -18,
    (rather than at least -23).


    You've posed a lot of inquiries - I attempted to tackle the major ones.

    Enjoy the game - it will be indeed memorable.
