These lines this year have been either right on or ridiculous. I actually capped these games and came up with Cleve able to give 9 which is pretty damn close. A missed foul shot or a made layup at the end could be the difference in loving it or hating it. These teams are very similar. GS proved last night that they can score if given a chance. Cle will give them that chance. The edge goes to Cle on coaching. In the other game most people would figure Hou to win, especially if McGrady plays but I come up with them only giving 1 even if he plays. Right now the only thing I feel pretty good about is the over in Cle and I'll wait until closer to game-time before making that decision.

nice call on over. i see the philly total is 199.5. last year at this time it would be about 185 or less. looks like more teams or trying to play like dallas instead of new jersey or detroit. i also thought in the nba the defense was usually ahead of the offense early in the year.do you not think vegas might overadjust the lines for a while?
Lowell, as of last night we have had 14 days of NBA play. If you remember at the first of the season I said that the league wanted higher scoring games. I was surprised that the totals the first week looked like they just went back and capped last year's teams and came up with a total. For the first 7 days the totals went 32-15 over. On the 8th day the totals went 8-3 under and only 27-23 over for the week. I think what you are seeing now is what you will get at least until the All-Star break. Good luck tonight
