I don't want to lay that kind of chalk anytime, especially in a game 1 of a series. That Heat ML game #6 is about the highest I will, it was -230. And I only felt comfortable laying that with a game a team HAD to win.
Cheap line (at least in my opinion) for a team that has responded every time with their back against the wall the last two years. I also don't think this Magic team is good enough to go up 2-0 on the road. I am under no illusion this is the same Celtics team as a year ago but I think they're good enough to compete and possibly beat this team Magic in a series.
I expect the Cavs to come out a bit rusty offensively. Both of these teams don't mind using the whole shot clock. I fully expect a feeling out process in the first half and a low scoring half.
keep treading water, can't put a few wins in a row together.
I'm leaning Rockets 1st half
I think it's another situation you see max effort from the home team. I don't know if they can hang the whole 48 without Yao but I think you see them sprint out of the games today.
