Cleveland +5 1/2 (2 units) Jazz, Pinny, Oly.
Missed the 6 watching it vanish. Popped up so was the right thing to do watch but takeback immediate, so back with 5 1/2 opener. Now Motown has finally realized talking will not win this series. But it may be too late. They do not have Lebron. They are not at home, and the Cleveland fans have been terrific. Just looks like these teams are now even, with the 4Q's belonging to King James, not Motown. Interesting to witness an odds on fave to win it all meltdown. I would say my passing of the torch scenerio may have got here a bit sooner than anticipated. I also feel they have a legit shot to close it out here. The only thing that has this line where it has been last 4 games is rep. It is about 7 or 8 points off. And Cleve has won 4 straight ATS. But the line just sits, waiting for that Motown turnaround. 11 first 3 in Motown, 5 1/2 or 6 in Cleveland. Zero adjusts. But as far as where it should be after these 5 games played, you tell me. Fine, I will take the home dog, again. Cleveland just excels at winning the close ones, a big, as in huge factor in the playoffs. Without the zebras assist, see Dallas. They are doing it legit. Plus, they have some incredible 18-2 record in games decided by 2 or less, last 20. Is that the stat? Coach Brown, the one still in the playoffs has done an outstanding job with adjusts, end of game calls and plays. You do not win close games by accident. I have upgraded him to playoff coach in his first run. Sure it helps to have a Lebron, but a bad coach can ruin the best players. We are buying this as I post, so do not expect it to be around long.
Best Wishes...OF :cheers
