Boston -1

WTF?? I expected -3, -3.5, this is the same situation as last year vs Orlando before game 6, Cleveland gets outplayed throughout the series and goes to Orlando as a 1 point fav. This series is over, Celtics have the better team, LeBron is not 100% regardless of what he says, Boston by 10

yes, u are correct it was Orl that opened as 1pt fav, but look at the result 13 point win and the game was never in doubt as i remember Magic had a 20 point lead at some point in that game. Vegas is making the same mistake again.

Boston -1 is begging you to put money on the Celts.....I'm putting the farm, kitchen sink, and '72 Gremlin on the Cavs at +1.

Everything points to the Celtics and the line is only at -1.5 now? Something's fishy. I'm going to wait til halftime. By then we'll get a pretty good feel if the Cavs showed up to play or not and can put something on the second half accordingly. Celts are the "logical" play but with the line as it is, it may be better to wait.

Everyone??? I see more people here on Cleveland than Boston, and even Vegas is mistakenly still under the impression that the Cavs are the team to beat. 4-7 vs the spread in the playoffs, this team is overhyped
