Cleveland is playing despicable defense. Simply a one man show on offense with Lebron and his playground antics going one on 3 against the defenders in the Lane because he is Lebron, the unstoppable!
Well Lebron and the Cavaliers need to get down to basics. They were utter crap against Charlotte and the loss by 7 points is flattering to them as they were down by over 20 at one stage until they chased down the score.
Note: Lebron and Mo Williams scored 47/74 points.
Cleveland are conceding 94 ppg both home and away. The reason why I say they are playing crap D is due to the fact that they are getting into a lot of junk time basketball and that's from the 1st Qtr. Lebron seemingly likes to just take it through the lane and players and get to the rim. If they miss the opponents get onto fast breaks to the other end where Cleveland's lame defense is nowhere to be found.
Take a look at their margins of victory and there is hardly the 10+ point differentials like last year. They have hardly cruised nor demolished the opposition. The +7 points for a team like Dallas is as eye catching as a pole dancer in Vegas.
Dallas are scoring 102 ppg away from home and shoots a decent 46%. Five of their last 6 games have gone 100+ and they have thumped Houston in H-Town and mauled the Pacers last nite. Dallas look the real deal and their veterans are leading the way. They also got more rest than normal as the starters all rested during the 4th Qtr.
Both teams will see this as winnable and when that happens, teams do what it takes to win, ie defend as well as offer an offense. Cleveland will be desperate to not lose back2back Games and I am sure Coach Mike Brown will have to start pleading with his lazy ass Defenders to show some commitment.
The past 9 games between these 2 franchises have resulted in 8 scores being well under 196. The past 3 "Lebron era" meetings had Cleveland winning 102-74 (H), 100-81 (A) and 88-81 (A).
I am guessing that these 2 teams know each others defenses well enough to suggest nothing much will change here. They are both playing back2backs however and there is the likelihood they will be sharp early but if the game is highly intense, it will depreciate offensively.
As stated, Dallas rested their starters in the 4th Qtr while Cleveland chased the game against Charlotte till the buzzer. This may be more telling in a game where it will have a Playoff atmosphere.
I am estimating a slow tempo play by Dallas here to ensure that they run a premium offense and get the right shots for the right players.
This has an 89-84 scoreline written all over it.
Play: Under 196
Also consider Dallas on the Money Line and the +7 Handicap.

Perhapst you should be aware that Dallas is playing their 4th game in 5 days and are on a back-to-back. Considering they are a relatively old team the amount of playing time will take it's tall. So the -7 is not as tasty as you think and this can very well result in a blowout. Not to mention that tired teams usually don't play much defense, so I also don't like that play much either. But If I had to bet it would be the UNDER.

CLE-DAL It looks like under, but now the points total is 194. That's pretty slippy. P.s Yesterday was a perfect night. HOU-SAS under OKC -5 MIA-WSH under CHA-CLE under Guys what you are thinking about 194 points total?

UTA-POR under 188.5 looks quite solid, seems to be also tough match. Tonight pretty hard unders'! Now I am considering; 1) CLE-DAL under 194 2) UTA-POR under 188.5 3) WSH-CHA under 191

For tonight I just picked CLE-DAL under 195.0. Last days both teams had tough games, especially CLE, so again like yesterday (HOU-SAS), defense will win this game. GL to all. And sleep well!

Missed the Washington and Charlotte line too but that play would have been Under anything set at 185. I hear it was set at 190 or so. It was off at the time I was online and had fallen ill late last nite so didn't get a chance to look at it.
I am not going to handle Cleveland Games. The fact is they are continuously scoring 60 points in 1st Qtr and although I didn't see it, appears the same old BS. Cleveland games have been costly and I know more people are leaning for Unders in their games.
Either you get on the Overs train or leave it. Smart money is don't look at Cleveland again until the Playoffs where they will lose playing this style of play.

I always take Cleveland to win first half and then they build such a lead they lose the 4th with Lebron hitting the bench...........................Cleveland @ h/t is a winner moe often than not

Thanks again for following. Unfortunately, Memphis shot poorly and they went from 60% shooting at HT to around 48% by end of the Game. What a complete choke and I would feel for people that backed them at +3.5 as they were up by as much as 20 in the Game and le by 15 going into the last Qtr.
They are a young team and possibly one of the more promising line-ups so i think this will be a "good" lesson to learn to not treat games as over unless the fat lady is definitely in the house.
Boston and Miami combined for 60 which i wasn't expecting but played to what I thought they would for the next 3 Qtrs. Good defensive game and some lousy shooting by Miami from the perimeter. They really are a hit or miss proposition.
Anyway we go 1-1 and stagnant on 23-13 overall. Still good profit-wise but I will take a review of the teams as some of the game plays are not what i expect from certain teams.
At least they are playing the Game which is more than I can say of my Chicago Bears. Man have they been a waste of time this year. Strangely it wasn't Jay Cutler that stuffed them today - it was the whole team.
Hope they can win against the Rams next week.........

Still a great record, even after a not so hot weekend. Look forward to your picks today...
Still would love to see a confidence level rating system though... ;) You played a lot of games on Saturday, I had no idea what your "top" plays were...

Seriously glad I have not posted or played anything these past 2 days. Everything I had assessed is down the tubes with some of the teams and results the last 2 days and I am glad I did some re-assessments because there are some major changes in the level of play by teams.
Wish I had backed NY and Washington as they were 2 dogs I thought could win.
Will post some plays for Wednesday in the next 3-5 hours and hope they get us some winners.
NBA all of a sudden is getting harder to predict.

Well ... what are you waiting for? Indiana/Sacramento over or under? The Houston/Clippers game is too close to call, for me, anyway! I like the OVER in the Indy/Sacto game... is that OK? I'm just playing a hunch. (Very minimal).
