Dddevin69 - That was my primary point, to begin; you were raving repeatedly about the '91 Bulls, whereas, I'd say the 1995-96 team even surpassed that sweeping squad. You made your love for them known, in six posts on the first page alone. No one will tell you here what to write/not write. Still, after all is set out (or so one would think) at your end, you conclude with a very safe, non-paying "Orlando(+8.5) plus 3 pts for insurance" ? Are you going shopping? If so, might it be to a liquidators, for that won't achieve much pocket.
Your 'prognosticating' is rather guarded, and with a safety net.
Have a look at my posts, and see just where I have led anyone astray.
As for your continued man-crush on the nonsense spewed from on-air ESPN personalities - they're just that - personalities, talking out of their backside, with but a two or three-year shelf life.
it's all good dude. we are both on the same page. I'm just drawing comparison to a weaker bulls 91 v the greatest NBA squad of our lifetime the 96 team. no harm meant. Sorry, about the repeated posts. sometimes I wonder if some of the younger posters remember what was going on during that time when MJ and Magic finally met up in 91. Personally, I didn't realize the Bulls greatness until it was all over. It didn't sink in while it was happening. I'm thinking today's sports experts and fans are trying to drink and appreciate the sweet Lebron Kool aid while it's happening instead of waiting years later like the lebron haters did when Lebron 1st came out.

Gotta go with Orlando here I'm getting 8.5 points right now and I think it will move to 9 later today. After coming off that win against the Celtics Orlando has a lot of confidence. Defensive player of the year Dwight Howard is gonna show the Cavs what's up after resting for 10 days they aren't ready for this. I'm taking Orlando 1st half +5 and for the game.

Here we Go Again! We Own LBJ and CO won the last 7 of 10 from them.. Why the Big # 9 I have no IDEA. Take the points in this one and let the best team handle business in this one. LBJ and Co will be in for a suprise.
GL
EARLY LEAN +9 ORL
Cle -9 sounds about right. plz look above as to why. Orando just got out of an emortional series against boston. It will be close either way you bet. The over /under might be better with the UNDER due ot Clev being a great defensive team if not the best.
Orlando has the perfect amount of rest ..without being rusty...Had 2 days off before game 7 with BOSTON and 2 days off after...FATIGUE (physical or emotional) will NOT be a factor for Orlando...GOOD CHANCE TO CATCH CAVS RUSTY OUT OF THE GATE TONIGHT and maybe even grab the game itself...+8.5 looks great in that light.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didnt Orlando spank Philly in game 6 on the road and then turn around and spank Boston in game 1? (prior to the let down in the 4th qrt)
Got to take Orlando and the points however I think this one squeeks over the total.

I'm not big on picking spreads in Game 1s. It's hard for me to get a feel on how the teams will come out after so much rest especially the Cavs in this situation.
I do like the Over 184.5
Both teams have greats def. but more specifially they have great interior def. I think Orlando can keep pace with Cleveland for most of the game which will keep Lebron and other starters on the floor.
Remember most Cleveland games stay under because Lebron & co. are usually chillin' on the bench with 9:45 left the 4th qtr. due to lack of competition. For example 2/22/09: Detroit 78 @ Cleveland 99. I had the Over 180 which shoulda soured over, but Lebron was getting a foot message by halftime. A gambler never forgets the bad losses.
Anyway, Orlando's perimeter offense can keep the scoring on pace if they can hit some 3's. I also see alotta free throws in this game. Hopefully Dwight Howard can hit 50% of em. I also see Dwight avoiding foul trouble and stepping aside to give way for some easy layups for Lebron.
Both teams can score over 90/each. OVER 184.5

THIS IS ACTUALLY MY FAVORITE BET OF THE GAME. MAGIC WILL SCORE 88 POINTS TONIGHT. THEY HAVE TO! THEY HAVE NOT SCORED UNDER 88 POINTS IN A GAME IN A WHILE.

No question your analysis is feasable and I actually agree with it somwhat. If Orlando is hitting close to 40% tres this game easily goes over...period. Lots of energy at the start might at least have the 1Q over 50...but doubt it.
However, I don't see points flying in tonight. Cleveland is likely rusty and will win the ML but won't be putting up much more than 90 tonight. Instead they will rely on defense since they are healthy and rested. Clev and Orlando will trade baskets at times but mostly I see the teams going on one sided streaks due to defense and turnovers. When this happens, unders come in regularly...unless of course tres are falling like rain and the foul game is played incessantly the last full minute. Clev plays the tre well and knows this is the Magics inside and out game.They will be primed to stop it before it gets started. Too boot, 4 of 5 of their series games have played under.
I think I will take an in game QTR under once I see a previous high one to be safe. The 4th Q could easily go over 50 if the game is tight (but over 6 pt spread) so FT ops may be plentiful. Lebron will drive the lane almost every opportunity in that situation stopping the clock for pts. Am I waffling? Yes somewhat...ha....cuz it's a tough call if fouls are up. But why do these teams play under so much?????

W8ligfter what do you think the game is going to go over or under?
UNDER . . . Rule of thumb bro, just always watch for the reverse line movement as seen here which has already dropped 1.5 points since it opened at 185.5

by the way devine....ur avaitor is so gay!!!!!.....lmao!!!!
WTF!!!!!....any dude who listens 2 espn anchors is fade material all day!!!......if u take clev i will be on orl!!!.....omg!!!!
who you callin gay girl????? wha?? is it gay, or is it style? somethin ta think about. you're a moron if you dispute everything they say on ESPN. Jemille HIll and Scoop Jackson would run circles around a clown like you. feel free to bet against what I say.....and let's see who picks em better. It's not a matter of opinion when you wager on games. Either you are RIGHT OR WRONG. my history of picks speaks for itself. I called most of the Chi v Boston 1st round playoff series.
It's definitely GAY dude. Unless you share the same style as the guys that hung out at the Blue Oyster in Police Academy. And did you really just say Jemele Hill would run circles around people? The same Jemele Hill that said rooting for the Celtics was like rooting for Hitler? The same Jemele Hill that predicted the Georgetown Hoyas to win the Big East this year? Yeah she's a genius. I really wish she would start a site so I could buy her picks off of her. Sounds like she really knows what she's talking about.
And why do you keep saying the Great Cavaliers Franchise? They have no franchise history. They've been around 19 years longer than the Magic and have the same amount of Conference Titles and 2 less Division Titles. That whole city is cursed.
As for the game itself, I like the MAGIC and the OVER. The Magic have covered 10 of the last 11 against Cleveland including all 3 this year. There's a reason that Lebron wanted to play the Celtics instead of the Magic and it has nothing to do with avenging last years playoff loss. It's because they don't match up well against the Magic. They have no one that can guard Dwight Howard or Rashard Lewis. Big Z is too slow and not physical enough and Big Ben is too old and small. Varejao cannot guard Lewis either. If he tries to guard him on the perimeter Rashard can go right around him and if he doesn't guard him on the perimeter Rashard can stick an open 3.
The Cavs also have some nice matchups though. Everyone knows Lebron is pretty much unguardable but Mo Williams should dominate the Magic guards as well. And Big Z can hit an outside shot. Dwight Howard might have to leave the paint and come out and guard him from time to time which will leave the lane open for Lebron to penetrate.
So I'm taking the MAGIC and the OVER. Cavs will win, especially since they're at home, but it will not be another double digit victory like the rest of their postseason games.

this may be a close game, but how can anyone say the cavs suck. when was the last time a team went 39-2 at home? they would have tied the record, had they not sat the whole team, and lost by one to philly. labron has much more talent on this team, then the team that got swept in the finals a couple of years ago. although i admit, orlando is one of those teams that the cavs do not match up well against. it will all be on a matter if the cavs take care of business at home.

. . . Just like the spread of the game opening at 9 and now down to as low as 8!
I like when both you & I agree on the same picks - I don't know where your "inside info" is coming from, but I'll take Magic & under here for sure..... GLTA
