NBA - Cavs underdogs at home? - Sports, Baseball, Football, Basketball and Off-Topic Discussion Forum

I was looking into the NBA Eastern Conference finals, and I noticed two very weird things:

1. The Cavs are +1.5 at home (+1 on Bodog)
2. The over is at 171, and all three games have gone under

Are the Cavs that bad? Are the Pistons that good on defense? I thought for sure that LeBron would be able to put up a couple dozen points.

The Piston are just that locked on defense. Outside of game 3, Lebron has shown me nothing

I'm not betting against a home playoff dog, that's just me though.

The 171 sounds about right...although I would bet the over

Looks like you would have made some money last night. I was going to take the Pistons and the under, but I couldn't get my girlfriend to hit a sports book in time last night. Good thing, too.

The preliminary line for Game 5 has the Over at 172, so at least that increased a little. I haven't heard a line yet, though.
