Can anyone explain why the defending NBA champions are eating less chalk than Orlando as home fav's?Boston opens at -2 for game seven and the eager have bet them up a half point so far.They are public favorites,and yet opened at only one more point than winning the game outright?And many here are convinced that Boston ML is a lock.I was wrong about this in game five,(taking Orlando because of the small number)which makes me think this time they can't be giving away free money on Boston,defending NBA bet against champs.The poor orlando three point shooting in their game six win makes me wonder if they are ngoing to hit a bunch in the next one. Something stinks about this low number..........
Boston Orlando small number
- Thread starter edludes
- Start date
I guess the loss of Garnett and to a lesser degree Poe vs Nelson for Orlando is supposed to equal Boston laying less points at home than Orlando is having to?RE:The total going down from 188 to 186,it seems with all the 3 point misses by both teams in all these consecutive unders that a bunch will go in in this last one. Wish Orlando even remotely resembled a tough-minded outfit,there isn't one player on their team I'd trust to want the shot in a pressure situation.Lewis has the talent and the match-up advantages to be that guy,but seems strangely unconfident,weak in the head.Very hard to back them though the short line suggests it might be the correct play.

Im not sure if the C's play is causing the close games or lack of defense...we have competitive games throughout the series thus far and Ray Allen has been absent....since Courtney Lee came back Rondo hasnt played with any fire...this is a difficult one the numbers suggest Orlando...I just keep thinking Ray Allen has shot almost 1000 3 pts since the lastgame and he will be more on then off, and if he contributed the 17-5 he can along with the normals the C's could blindside Orlando(WHO IMO MUST SHOOT 55-65% from 3 today to keep the crowd out of it and pull this one off) dont think we will see lazy defense today from the C's.....BoL on your play, I'll be watching just rooting and HOPEFULLY enjoyinh a C's win:box2:

Haven't played anything yet.Just trying to see if someone can tell me why Boston gets a shorter line than Orlando does at home.Why try to induce Boston betting when they are a public favorite?

Its really a bland play to pick the defending NBA champions ml to win game seven of a semifinal series when they are only laying 2 points at home no less on the sainted parquet floor.Maybe they should be getting two?

Bloodbath....did u see Stern happy as all hell when Orlando pulls back out to 15 in the 4th? I'm betting my life on the Cavs for the series.
