Cavs and Rockets -- "Lets go Fishing" Angle

Question

Similar to the Pelicans last night down 0-3, playing at home. Doubt creeped in of the almost impossible task of beating GSW next game on the road. So, since they’re home already – maybe thinking, they’ll give one best shot, but will not be as desperate(?) They’re home already why “bother” going to GSW.

Could this be same angle for Cavs? Thus, Cavs ML is a solid play.

Also with Houston? As we saw how undermanned Portland played last night at home. With Mavs, unfortunately, they just don’t have the personnel to compete against the Rockets.

Thoughts?

Some teams like the extra revenue of a game 5. Look at Spurs/Blazers last year. If any series should have ended in 4 it should have been that one. Never underestimate the power of the mighty dollar.

I&#x27;d think the LeBron and the Cavs are motivated to get xtra rest after seeing the bulls, their next opponent fail to sweep last night. I like ML. Considering teasing Cavs with Spurs or Cavs Spurs ML.

BB there is a flip side to that coin, the extra game is a drop in the bucket in terms of revenue, but the health and rest of players could extend their run many more games (also every meaningless game played carries a slight risk of a devastating injury)....

I get both sides (extra revenue vs rest), but something about a LBJ-led team that shows me pride and about making statements.GLTA!
