Cavs shoot for 2-0 series lead over visiting CelticsBasketball Betting Lines05/03/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Celtics will try to avoid falling in a 2-0 series hole when they face the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers tonight in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals at Quicken Loans Arena. Mo Williams sparked the Cavaliers in the third quarter on Saturday and LeBron James finished off the Celtics in the fourth, scoring 10 of his 35 points in the last six minutes, to lift Cleveland to a 101-93 win in the opening game. James, wearing a protective sleeve on his injured right elbow, added seven assists and seven rebounds for Cleveland, which scored the final seven points to seal the win. "It's been better, but I don't use excuses," said James, who was awarded his second straight MVP trophy on Sunday. "I'll be ready for [Game 2]." James is scheduled to undergo daily treatments and a repeat MRI for his strained elbow but is not expected to miss any time in the series. The diminutive Williams, meanwhile, netted 14 of his 20 points in the third and fueled his team with his first dunk as a Cav in Game 1. Shaquille O'Neal and J.J. Hickson each chipped in 11 points apiece for Cleveland, which held an aging Boston club to 5-of-19 shooting in the last 12 minutes and won for the 13th time in its last 14 postseason games at The Q. "We stuck together throughout the game," Cleveland head coach Mike Brown said. "As the course of the game went on, we really kept our composure." Rajon Rondo ended with 27 points, 12 assists and six rebounds to pace the Celtics, who received 18 points and 10 boards from Kevin Garnett. Paul Pierce logged 13 points but was just 5-of-17 from the field. "I thought we settled with our jump shots," Boston head coach Doc Rivers said of the second half. "Their pressure had a little bit to do with it. I just thought we got away from our game plan." The Cavs and Celtics split four games in the regular season while both clubs finished off their opening round opponents this year in just five games, as Cleveland dispensed of Central Division rival Chicago, while the Celtics sent the Miami Heat back to South Beach. The teams have met four times in the postseason dating back to the 1975-76 season when Boston won the Eastern Conference finals over the Cavs in six games. The C's also won a first round series over Cleveland in 1984-85, and in the East semis in 2007-08. The Cavs only win in the postseason over Boston came in the East semifinals during the 1991-92 season, also a seven-game set. Game 3 of the series is scheduled for Friday in Boston.

Online Sportsbook Football BettingLaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season. There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
