All the ML's shifted too.  Prepare to be shocked.

Yea I saw that Bob. At first I couldn't understand it, how could Cavs go from +5.5 tonight at home to -4 in game 6 at home , actually -4.5 now.

That's a 10 point swing.

Then after thinking about it , I think your mis-reading the situation.

Remember, if Warriors win tonight those lines are all meaningless, so they only way they come into play is "IF" Cavs win tonight .

So for Cavs to get to that game 6 that need to win 2 straight and after last years comeback, if Cavs win 2 straight the public likely will begin backing the Cavs thinking another come-back is coming.

But to even get to game 5 Cavs need to win tonight in which case the same thinking applies and to get to game 7 means 3 straight by Cavs.

The book made no reduced line on tonight's game, actually raised the line making Warriors bigger favs because to reduce the line reguires a Cavs SU win to set the public thinking into motion about a come-back.

To use your theory about the lines go lower indicating Cavs win then line going higher would indicate the Cavs lose tonight and never get to any of those adjusted line games.

Bingo Pretty simple stuff but Bob has to cling on to something at this point

Cavs down 3-1 last year opened at +2800 and settled at +1300

Cavs down 3-1 this year opened at +1300 and now at +1100

Of course it would be that way, look at the difference between last year and this year with Warriors adding Durant and last year odds to back the Cavs much, much bigger where ave joe's like betting into big odds with a little money to win alot, just the nature of how it goes.

If your theory of lines was to hold then the line being inflated in game 4 last night would indicate a Warriors win , the game was everything but a Warriors win.

Cavs aren't coming back and winning this series, they could win game 5, maybe,  but that'd be all she wrote.

If you think the Warrior are better this year Claw then why is the line worse for Cavs this year?

Cavs will win in 7
