NBA Playoffs Sunday

NBA Playoffs Sunday [B]518 Chicago +5.5[/B] We must recall that the Bulls were up by 21 at one point in Game 3. Noah and Deng played/play so much better at home. Even HC Del Negro called a good game. I do not see Cleveland blowing out Chicago in this game and up by doubles. Why the line adjustment? This game opened -6? This line should be Cavs -3 tops.

Even a close series like Spurs/Mavs has seen a half point (compared to a full pt +) correction towards the team off the loss. Thoughts?

Agree Red, the zig zag contributes, and my handicap was inferior to the line, and bleeping dead nuts wrong. There is money to be made from it, no question. Good point.
