Larry Hughes for Retirement

Ok fellas I bet online a lot and lately I have been winning by betting on some of the Cavs games. Not the actually score, but the individual players.
I thought to myself who else would know just as much if not more than the Cleveland faithful on this board.

Before each game I am going to post the betting lines that this website has on the Cavaliers and its players. And we can discuss it just for fun before the game tips off.

Ok here we go:

Lebron James over or under: 27.5 points tonight vs. Nuggets
Cavaliers over or under 100 points?
Nuggets over or under 107 points?
Cavaliers +7.5 points vs Nuggets?
Allen Iverson over or under 31.5 points/assists?

I can also just post this on the Game Thread when its made instead of a new Thread before each game?

SamTheMan67

Honestly I would take the cavs under 100 lebron over 27 and the rest I wouldn't be confident guessing lol. prolly take AI over 31.5 assists/pts

HB

I personally think Lebron can score over 27.5 pts.. reason: He did not log to many minutes last game and the nuggets as usual play some pretty poor defense.

Cavs total points I am going to go under: not to confident other than its a back to back

Nuggets under 107 even though its a back to back I think we still play some pretty good defense.

The way Gibson has been fouling - I think we put Devin Brown on him early along with LBJ and keep AI under 31.4 pts/ast

And lastly - I think the Cavs will be lose 99-89 (not covering the spread) (sorry)


please discuss if interested

I could see Lebron trying his newfound defensive prowess on Carmelo tonight. Perhaps that could force AI into taking a few more shots than he normally does.

EDIT - On second thought, doesn't Carmelo usually take a ridiculous number of shots when he's playing against Lebron? He always seems like he's trying to prove something.

It would be a huge statement if Lebron could shutdown Melo or AI tonight.

also the Nuggets over/under just went to 107.5 looks like a lot of betters are going with the Over still at 107.

DQ for 3

I took LeBron Over 27.5 pts
Cavs under 100 pts
Nuggets over 107.5

Carmelo is not really a guy you can shut down. He scores alot of his points in transition running out on the break, Karl never has him crash the boards. He also is probably the best at moving off the ball in the entire NBA and gets alot of easy baskets that way.

Lebron can make his defensive mark checking him down the stretch, but Carmelo will get his 25-30.

Projected Starting 5
Cavaliers:

PG - Daniel Gibson SG – Larry Hughes
C – Zydrunas Ilgauskas
SF – Lebron James PF – Drew Gooden

Nuggets:

PG – Allen Iverson SG – Yakhouba Diawara
C – Marcus Camby
SF – Carmelo Anthony PF – Kenyon Martin

NOTES:

- Nuggets are just loaded with firepower. Coming off a back to back against a team that likes to push the ball like Denver will be tough. Winning this game would make the West Coast trip a huge success, we'll see if the Cavs can rise to the challenge.

- Melo vs Lebron will be entertaining as usual, but the biggest matchup might be Iverson. Boobie will have trouble staying out of foul trouble against him, so our best option might be to use Larry defensively @ PG.

- Denver has had some defensive problems in the last few games giving up big #'s in the 1st half. If the Cavs come out aggressive, we should be able to put points on the board.

Hey now - this is the gambling thread - not the game thread - we don't need comments that do not have "over/under" in the sentence

Larry Hughes for Retirement

So Lebron will put up around 30ish? we still score under 100 and they score over 107?

Thats a lot of confidence that Lebron's teammates do alm
