Fine, but I really don't want $10. So honestly it went from 23 to 11, you really think it can't go from 12 to 4??

existentially every game is over before it starts. You know it will end at some point. I mean, so far this series, the team with double digit leads at halftime is winless. You can structure anything anyway you want to. Based on that stat, I'm a guaranteed winner of this bet.

Doug Collins has made a very interesting
observation. When Lebron (especially), and some others
take long shots and miss, it leads to break outs
(longer rebounds) that give Orlando breakout shots.
This is part of the reason their D looks so bad imo.

I believe you are correct about the matchups not
being the most desirable for the Cavs. I still think
Cleveland can play much better defense than
they have shown.

Mo Williams has been awful. He's been the 2nd guy all year and for him to be 10 for 34 for the series kills them. He hasn't had two straight shooting games like this all year.

This happens standing a watching Lebron.
They need some easy shots from guys other than Lebron.
And Mo has been bad. But you got a lot of games to
go. I just cant see how the Cavs cannot work this
series out. D. Howard is so athletic, but so basketball
dumb. He has a hard time seeing stuff coming ahead
of time and just relies on his physical prowess.
