1/1 ?
so if I bet 100, and win, I get 100 back?
100 initial + 100 win = 200 back
Cavs 106
Spurs 78
Are you sure that's proper odds symantics? I'm pretty sure 1/1 means you bet 10 you win 10, 2/1 = bet 10, win 20 etc.
Oh, and I forgot to say...
Hooray v-bookie!

If Tim plays, we will be underdogs, but have some chance since we are playing at home. Cavs are 24-1 at home. They are beatable on the road as last night showed. Nevertheless, Cavs are the favorites to win this game tonight even with Tim playing.
If Tim does not play, then Cavs are almost certain to win (although anything can happen during any one game).
Cavs will want to rebound after this last poor outing against Houston.
Keys-
1. keep LeBron taking midrange shots and not layups.
2. Rebound well defensively and limit Cavs to one shot. Spurs are the best defensive rebounding team in the league- but that's when Tim Duncan is playing. Ilkauskas is about as good an offensive rebounder as there is in the NBA. And Cavs are one of the best at offensive rebounding.
3. Close out on their 3 point shooters. They now have surrounded LeBron with a lot of very good 3 point shooters including Mo Williams, Daniel Gibson and Wally Scyrbiak (spelling is wrong).
4. We can't settle for jumpshots. If Tim plays, we must go through him.
Jumpshots off of penetration which are wide open and in rhythm are much better than others. Also, transition 3's are not bad.
5. Team defense on LeBron. No one person can slow down a player as good, big, strong, fast, and athletic as LeBron James. It is up to the whole team. Everyone must know where LeBron is at all times. He is a determined and motivated player. He will want to make up for his subpar performance last night.
6. Crowd support.
7. Try to get as many easy points in transition. You don't want to have to score against the set defense of the Cavaliers all night.
Cavs 100 / Spurs 84 (even if Tim plays).
98-90 Cavs
Spurs 96
Cavs 89
