[Toronto_Mike]

Toronto should be happy to take 1 game. No one is stopping LBJ, the key is how are the other 4 Cavs on the court going to help him.

The only interest here is whether the Craptors can manage a lead at half-time in any game.opcorn:

Fwiw - some stats from the Raps & Cavs respective 1R series...

Cleveland
- The road team won every game ATS.

- Cavs won every 3Q played.

- The home team won every 1Q played.

- The only Q the Cavs lost in 2 home games was the 4th.

- Their lowest scoring 1h produced the same amount of pts (110) as their highest scoring 2h did.

- Every 1h scoring averaged 18.0 pts more than the 2h scoring.


Toronto
- Craptors started their 1R series 0-3 ATS and finished it 3-0 ATS.

- The Craptors went 9-0 to Under on the road for their combined 1h+2h+FG totals
(as opposed to 6-3 to Over for the same @home).

- All 6 of their games produced the same total result for the 1h & 2h (4 x Un/Un & 2 x Ov/Ov)

- The points difference between halves were as follows:
G1: 1h totaled 14 pts more
G2: 1h totaled 8 pts more
G3: 2h totaled 7 pts more
G4: 1h totaled 1 pt more
G5: 2h totaled 1 pt more
G6: 2h totaled 3 pts more

That renders an average of 5.66 pts difference between each half's totals.

- Only 1 of their 6 x 2h totaled more than 100 pts (G5@home: 105 pts), and notably that was
the only 2h which saw them win both the 3Q & 4Q.

 

[BJPLAYER]

tor 0-8 last 8 game ones? ats and su?

 

[B.A.R.]

[emkee]

Believe Lang is on the Cavs tonight. Going for 3 straight winners.

So far? 0-2 from 2

 

[Frank Costanza]

TORONTO -- All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry didn't participate in the Toronto Raptors' shootaround Friday morning and will be a game-time decision for Game 3 against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a left ankle sprain.

 

[B.A.R.]

Line went from 3 to 5 at some point...

Glad I grabbed the 3 for safety measures...

Back to 3.5....assuming Seasoning Salt is good to go...

[emkee]

That is the right mentality ^^^

Basically 2 teams on a collision course.

 

[emkee]

B Lang on the Cavs -4.5 for 30 Dimes.

 

[B.A.R.]

B Lang on the Cavs -4.5 for 30 Dimes.

Of course he is...

 

[emkee]

He's actually 4-0 in his last 4 plays.

Not sure whether that's good or bad for the Cavs tonight...

 

[B.A.R.]

I know...

That is like 10-0 to the likes of me and you...

ML and -3 will be fine

Just good to see Lang got the best of the number:rofl:

 

[B.A.R.]

Isn't he Mr. "Always buy the hook" or is that just football?

 

[braves]

what are the percentages on cavs tonight? I'm reading in mid 80%

 

[KJ]

78% Cavs, 72% Rox right now ATS

 

[wizardofodd]

line just plummeted back to -2/-2.5

 

[B.A.R.]

3 to 5 to 3.5 to 4 to 2.5.... El movement

 

[Frank Costanza]

So Lowry limited availability at best.

 

[B.A.R.]

Follow the late steam...Raptors winning this. .

 

[H.R. Pufnstuf]

This Cavs team has no shot vs GSW

 

[BetCrimes1984]

This Cavs team has no shot vs GSW

Is this year 2016 or 2017?

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Toronto's ATS result sequence:

loss-loss-loss-win-win-win-loss-loss-loss-...?

---

Toronto has won at least one 1st-half quarter in every home game played so far, while Cleveland has lost at least one 1st-half quarter in every road game played so far.

---

 

[CHSGTMD]

Toronto has won at least one 1h Q in every home game played so far, while Cleveland has lost at least one 1h Q in every road game played so far.

BC, is that 1st half or 1st Qtr or both

 

[BetCrimes1984]

BC, is that 1st half or 1st Qtr or both

That means either quarter in the 1st half:

Toronto has won at least one quarter (out of the 2 played) in the 1h of every game played at home in these playoffs.

Congrats to the Craptors for managing to lead @half-time in 1 of 4 games; pity they managed 0 leads at full-time in 4 games, but there's always next year/decade/century.
