Going to ride the money train for as long as it lasts. Cleveland finished the 05-06 regular season with 5 straight unders, finished the playoffs with 5 straight unders, and has begun the 06-07 season with 3 straight. The public still sees LeBron James and thinks over, close to 70%. We see a team that is struggling on offense as evidenced by their 43.5% FG shooting and abysmal FT shooting 60.8%. Atlanta has also opened 06-07 with 3 straight unders, and is even worse on the offensive end, shooting just 41.2%. The trend data supports these thoughts. Cleveland has played to 39 of 55 unders vs NBA East, or greater than 70% of the time. Overall, the Cavs have gone under in 16 of last 21, and ATL is 13-3 to the under following a straight-up win. All signs point to the UNDER, the struggling offenses, the recent trends, and fading a 70%+ public.
