I like it when someone makes me go back and really look at a game I like. I worked up my games this morning and found Cle with a + 1 adv. I haven't been thrilled with Phil this year even if they seem to be playing better (I'm not really sold on that either) and I have done well with Cle early in the year and here lately so I put and asterick by them to come back later. Then I read Nick and thought with him giving them a shot straight up I probably had a play getting nine. Then I read Nolan. Now folks, everything Nolan says makes sense and I respect him enough that I decided to really get into this game. Here's what I came up with.
Most people don't seem to have noticed that since the first of Feb Clev has been playing pretty good ball. Here's how the two teams look since Feb 1. Clev is 8-7 straight up, 10-5 ats, and have played four back to backs, winning 3. Two of the wins were against Mil and Ind on the road after playing at home. Phil is 7-7 straight up and 6-8 ats. They are 1-4 ats when the line is 7 or more and only 3-2 straight up. I have it that Phil could be a play up to 6.
Here's where I stand at the moment
Bos u (being the last game of a long road trip can work two ways. Orl is a jump shooting team and could have tired legs. This usually means lower scores. Less d means more scoring opportunities for Bos.)
Clev +1 adv
NJ +1 adv and o
Port o
