Default Re: Tool's NBA line predictions for remainder of playoffs

5.10

Boston @ Cleveland over 177 (-105) *.5

The previous 2 games in Boston have the biggest impact on this very low total. Boston with a 2-0 lead in the series will come into this game relaxed and their defense will soften up as it tends to do away from home. Last series when Boston played in Atlanta every game went over the total after 2 unders in Boston. It's just how Boston plays. They take tremendous pride in owning teams at home and they don't let up. Completely different story on the road. I think if Cleveland wants to win this game they have to pick up the pace of the game, sorta like Orlando is doing to Detroit. Cleveland will break out of their dry spell as they come home to play against a much less aggressive Boston defense. I can see both teams in the 90's for this game. Hopefully the game stays close and it gets some fouls in the end of this one to send it over!!
