I will be disgusted if Orlando wins tonight and the Cavs come back to win the series.  So I want to say this is a must win game for the Cavs, even though it would be mathematically possible for them to lose and then win 3 straight.  I can't go big on this because I think the Cavs will keep this close and LeBron will get favorable calls down the stretch, but I like Magic and the points.

This is a gambling forum.  We are here to talk about how these games pertain to actual GAMBLING so that we can make money on these events. 

If you want to go wax poetically about the time you gave Delonte West his cold sores, I'm sure there are a ton of Cavalier message boards for you to do that on.  Please keep all this fan rift-raft elsewhere.  It's annoying.   

If you have an opinion on the game from a betting standpoint, go ahead.  But if you're just going to go into this whole "my team won you were against them hahahaha" do it somewhere other than here.

By the way, I'm sorry if it stung when I gave an honest assessment of your overrated team.

not being an ass, but the write up you have was discussed before the series started by espn and everyone else about cleveland and how they have a hard time with the magic. 
 
only thing is why you say it now instead of before game 1?  still the same teams playing and the same players, so why wait until game 4?  to convince yourself that the magic are the better team TONIGHT?  Yes the cavs are 0-3 against the Magic, but now its game 4, and you are jumping on the magic train tonight. Think it might be too late taht you already missed out on 3 plays on the magic and now decided to roll with them.  (i dont know if you have played the Magic all games.  If so, disregard my post) I'm just curious about why the long write up now?
 
 


I bet on Orlando in both Games 2 and 3.  Here is my thread before the last game:

https://www.covers.com/postingforum/post01/showmessage.aspx?spt=22&sub=100459115

I also backed the Magic on numerous occasions in their series against Boston.

You mentioned how what I said was similar to ESPN, well we ain't got ESPN up here in Canada so I have no way of knowing what they're talking about. 

Tonight I'm just giving my thought process on the game.  I'm not forcing anyone to bet on Orlando.  What people do with their own money is entirely up to them.

Value for Rent -- cogent as always...

That said, I agreed with you on Denver -4.5 for game 4...  which broke the trend of Lakers covering every game they were 3 point or more dogs.  (They were previously 7-0 through game 3...  yes?)

By this, I don't mean, one trend broke yesterday, so another one will today -- but I'm illustrating how you (and I) thought Laker money was wated money in game 4, and why, tonight, I think another such trend will, for independent reasons, happen to break.

Simply put, I think all the fundamental things go as they have, rebounding &tc., but LeBron's posse shoots better.

How about the Lakers having a shooting threat from the PG area? Or a knock down three point shooter? Or how about a 3-point shooting center with incredible range?

The funny thing is that everybody swears the Lakers have the most talent, but in reality...it's really Kobe driving their team forward. Kobe makes everybody around him that much better. Take out Kobe, what do we have? We have the Machine who is 30% this season, Fluke Walton who doesn't do anything well, and young talent who haven't developed their game yet. Cavaliers are equipped with enough experience and talent that I can say "Cavs have as much or more talent than the Los Angeles Lakers".

Nice write-up, but I think that the NBA, I mean the Cavs, find a way to win this game and series.

Because the NBA wants Kobe vs. Lebron The Black Mamba vs. King James ads and commercials are everywhere this is your tell. Bet Cleavland. Are they the better team I do not know. Are they the ratings team = money for NBA and sponsors, YES.

That is insanity.  The Lakers B- game is equivalent to the Cavs A game.  If both these teams play their best game the Cavs cannot hang within ten points of L.A. at Staples.  At the Q the Lakers should probably be favored.  The fact the Cavs have made it this far is a huge accomplishment in itself.  They should be celebrated and highly commeneded for doing so much with so little.

This series = Lakers/ Pistons in 2004 (and I say this as a Lakers fan).  The public was enamored with the Lakers, while Piston backers raked in the dough.  That was basically a five game sweep, with the Lakers winning one game off a miracle finish.  Exactly where this is heading.

and yes we have evidence the magic dont show up ..
since people like judging the past thinking it means something in the present ..
WE ARE IN THE PRESENT !!!
IT IS TUES !!!

 

That's exactly my concern.  Although they've shown up so far, every game in this series.

Couldn't agree more on the Cavs should be commended for what they did this year with a number 3 option ( Mo ) having to play like a number 2 it shows that Lebron can make mediocore players around him better and I mean shit look at what he did with Wally..well until the playoffs started...but the Cavs are a good team just not a great team right now...I'm a Laker fan and I can only imagine what Lebron would do if he had a solid #2 option on his team like a Pau or a Chauncy...the Cavs would steam roll through teams but for now I will just enjoy watching Lebron tonight be Lebron

 

Excellent write up as always Value

 

Peace

usually when everyone talks junk to valeforrent he ends up winning his bet... i think the best thing is to just agree to liking opposite sides instead of attacking each other.

i took the cavs.

Great write up but the Cavs are damn good. You are foolish to say otherwise. Orlando just happens to match up well against this team. Cleveland wins tonight and they will win the series!
