Cleveland tries to eliminate the Nets
Basketball Betting Lines
05/16/2007 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Cavaliers attempt to eliminate the New Jersey Nets and advance to the Eastern Conference finals, as the teams battle
tonight at Quicken Loans Arena.
The second-seeded Cavaliers leads the best-of-seven series 3-1. If necessary,
Game 6 of this semifinals set is scheduled for Friday at Continental Airlines
Arena.
A victory would send Cleveland to the East finals for the first time since
1992. The Cavaliers fell in six to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in the
conference finals.
On Monday, LeBron James scored 30 points, grabbed nine rebounds and dished out
seven assists to lead the Cavaliers over No. 6 New Jersey, 87-85, in Game 4
at Continental Airlines Arena. James scored just four points in the fourth
quarter, going just 2-for-6 from the free throw line, as Cleveland survived to
take a commanding 3-1 lead in the series.
Larry Hughes added 19 points for Cleveland, while Zydrunas Ilgauskas
registered 13 points and 11 boards for the Cavs, who won despite not hitting a
shot from the field over the final 2:30 of the contest.
Vince Carter finished with 25 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in the
loss for New Jersey, but with a chance to tie the game he lost the ball out of
bounds with 1.9 seconds left in the game.
Mikki Moore ended with a career playoff-best 25 points in the loss, while
Richard Jefferson added 15 points and Jason Kidd contributed five points,
career-playoff-high 17 rebounds and seven assists for New Jersey.
Cleveland won Games 1 and 2 of this series at Quicken Loans Arena. The
Cavaliers are 4-0 at home in the postseason, and have dropped two of their
last three games when they have the chance to eliminate the opposition from
the playoffs.
The Cavaliers, who have never dropped a series in the postseason when they win
the first two games of the set, have won three straight Game 5s in the
playoffs.
The Nets, who have never comeback to win a playoff series after losing the
first two games of the set, have dropped two straight Game 5s in the
postseason. New Jersey has lost five straight contests when facing
elimination.
This is the third time the Cavaliers and New Jersey are meeting in the
postseason. Cleveland defeated the Nets twice in the first round. The Cavs
knocked out the Nets in four, 3-1, in 1992 and in five, 3-2, in 1993.
The Cavaliers swept the seventh-seeded Washington Wizards in the opening round
of the postseason. Cleveland is 2-2 all-time in the Eastern Conference
semifinals. The Cavaliers defeated Washington in seven games in 1976 and beat
the Celtics in seven in 1992. They were swept by the Bulls in 1993 and lost in
seven to Detroit last year.
New Jersey knocked out the third-seeded Toronto Raptors, who won the Atlantic
Division during the regular season, in six games in the first round. The Nets
have lost their last two trips to the Eastern Conference semifinals. They were
ousted in seven by Detroit in 2004 and in five by Miami last season.
The Nets are 2-3 all-time in the East semis. New Jersey, which lost to
Milwaukee, 4-2, in the 1984 East semis, did defeat the Charlotte Hornets, 4-1,
in the 2002 semifinals and the Celtics, 4-0, in 2003. The Nets are 2-0 in the
conference finals and 0-2 in the NBA Finals.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
