My friends, barring a major injury, a world catastrophe, or a miracle, I just don't think any of us feel Cleveland stands a chance against Boston in this series. On paper, this is a team that has dropped four of the the last six straight up, while only covering one of those six outings. They were taken down by the Eastern Conference’s top-seeded, Boston opponent in Game 1 at the TD Garden, 120-95. Looking at the Celtics last eight games, in which they went 7-1 SU, with the one defeat coming at the hands of Miami in Game 2 of the opening round, they have absolutely shredded every opponent. It doesn't matter they're double-digit favorites, they are 5-1 ATS during that span laying 10 or more points. However, this is a boatload of points, sports fans, it really is. I mentioned at the top of this analysis the term "on paper". Basketball is not played on paper. Do I think the Celtics can beat this team by as many points as they want? Yes, I do! However, the Cavaliers were embarrassed in the series opener and must at least come back here and save a little face. Please understand Boston is not only a talented team, they are a smart, well-coached team. They know they don't need to blow out Cleveland here to get the win. They also know they can start pulling their starters when the game is in hand. I don't think this team needs to win by this much of a pointspread. I really do feel this value and taking the underdog here. Take the Cavaliers. Thank you.
