Wizards the series play vs. Cavs?
The Wiz might be +200 dogs later today but IMO anything better than +150 is a good buy. The Cavs are overrated because the Pistons collapsed last year. The Cavs have a whole new team that isn't better. I can see them using the "time to gel" excuse. Where would the Wiz be with Arenas earlier in the year?

The Cavs are absolute  . The cavs without Lebron would get stomped by the phucken Heat.

I agree with you about the merits of the teams, but I think the linemaker will share our evaluation and make the series around -130. We'll see.
I'm also curious to see the Utah-Houston price as that seems a coin-flip and I'm hoping they make Houston around 8-5.

If "KING (BLING) JAMES" learns how to shoot a FT this bet may be in trouble.
If not you're probably OK.

I am confused by why you think that...Arenas, Butler, and Jamison. Looks solid to me. Agree with Wiz to take this one.

3 all stars on one team seems decent. blatche, young, stevenson, heywood and daniels are also decent players.

Well we were on the right side of that one...

102 Cavaliers -108
Anyone who doesn't still like the pick has a nice scalp!

Yeah exactly...MJF already stated the the Wiz won't even win a game. Apparently he has not watched them play when they were without Arenas or Butler. Add those 2 in and they have some serious potential.

My point exactly...anyone who watched them this year without either in the line-up realizes how solid this team can be...all heart.

I respectfully disagree sir. In fact I hit it as soon as the line was posted this morning, however I scalped it out about 2 hours ago.

well maybe not easily like a sweep but i see the cavs taking it in 6. The Wizards are known to choke and in addition Lebron has sort of a psychological advantage over Arenas. The time Lebron wispered into Arenas' ear before he shot the two free throws in the playoffs and Arenas missed them both costing the Wiz the game and the series. Great price on the Cavs now.
