00:00That total, though, despite an over on Sunday, has dropped by a few points.
00:04Now at 2-12, spread basically the same at 12 in favor of Cleveland.
00:11What I find interesting, Donnie, although we saw the big favorites to win the NBA championship
00:17really handle business on Sunday, OKC win by 51, Boston won by 17, Cleveland by 21,
00:25that game perhaps for the Cavaliers, they were tested by Miami for a good majority of three quarters
00:31really using that fourth and final to pull away.
00:34So how competitive is game two tonight?
00:37I think it will be competitive tonight.
00:39And the reason I say that is, like, you get into a series, Eric Spolster is a very good coach.
00:44You know the adjustments that need to be made.
00:45And also, I think he understood his team was running on fumes by the time you take a look
00:49at the Cleveland Cavaliers who were rested and ready and also are the better basketball team.
00:53We see it time and time again in the NFL.
00:55Hey, get a bye week.
00:56This team's played three straight road games and playing a team off of a bye.
00:59Boy, they didn't look so good.
01:00No team is going to look that good.
01:02Now understand this.
01:03I don't think the Miami Heat are going to win this game in Cleveland tonight,
01:06but that's not what we're asking.
01:07The question is, can they win by 12 to 12 and a half points, which essentially means
01:10two touchdowns.
01:11I'm expecting a better performance out of the Miami Heat, trusting Eric Spolster in that team
01:15and Tyler Hero would have a pretty good game as well, along with Bam out of bye,
01:19you two superstars in the equation.
01:20And also, there is no bonus points there for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and we got to win
01:24this game by 20 points again, just to send a message.
01:27Get the win, go up 2-0, go down to Miami and hope to close out that series in a sweep.
01:31Or worst case scenario, you're back to Cleveland for a gentleman sweep if you do get one of
01:35those games.
01:36But understand this.
01:37I do think the Heat are better than what they showed in game number one, where they got
01:41beat, as you said, by 21 points.
01:42I just think they can keep this game within double digits, or at least I lost the Memphis game
01:46I told you last night.
01:47But that wasn't like, ah, I can't even believe I took Memphis.
01:49They were right around that number the entire game, and I'll take that again with the Miami
01:53Heat, with a chance to stay within double digits, which should easily cover the 12s to the 12
01:58and a half is what we're getting, probably around game time.
