Arrow Miami favored by 17.5 over Cleveland. Anyone tempted to buy Cavs?

Tomorrow night in Miami. The Greek opened Heat -17.5

Miami destroying teams right now. Big game with Knicks coming up later in the week. Have a feeling this one closer than last game.

Cavaliers lost 8 in a row, Heat won 9 in a row. Since that Miami win in Cleveland the Cavs have been crushed in every game & Heat has won by double digits.

So do the Cavs keep it close or is this another Miami rout

Currently The Greek has Miami -17.5 -105

Cleveland will get down big like they did against Oklahoma City the other night. Miami players sweat out the backdoor with Lebron and Co. on the bench in the 4th quarter again.

I haven't capped this game yet, but early lean says take the 17.5 pts...Miami wins, but the Cavs backdoor the cover.

I'm playing Heat 1st Half. Off the top of my head Miami has covered at least one half of each of the past ten games. If they don't cover 1st half I might chase the 2nd half.

starting to wonder if his ghost isn't I'MaWinner.

The way Cleveland has been playing lately not sure there is a point spread high enough for me to take them.

Don't think Miami will be up for this game either. If I had a gun to my head I would take the points JMHO!

Considered taking the cavs at +17... Wishing I would have now, though I'm sure the heat come back and get close to the spread.
