Cleveland has lost 1 home game all season

Why are we all so scared of Orlando all of a sudden. We were riding the 76ers over Orlando lol. Let's not forget we're dealing with one of the greatest players of all time. Ride Lebron today!

Actually two still good though. I think magic have a chance late and cover for sure. An outright win would not shock me though

RoagBettor · 05-20-09, 01:31 PM

Orlando sucks. If a depleted Boston team can take them to 7 games the Cavs should sweep.

teasing orl +10 and over 185. i think it will be rather close game than blowout by cavs.

Buckeye · 05-20-09, 03:30 PM

Orlando does not suck. Boston played them tough. Orlando is just lacking the playoff maturity, which Lebron and Cleveland has gained through the last few seasons. Orlando has more talent than Cleveland at each position, except for Lebron and Mowill and I expect Orlando to keep it close throughout, with Cleveland covering by the 4th Quarter possibly. The best play may be under 184.5, as defense should rule this game and series.

The Cavs have lost ZERO games @ home this year with the full team intact. They lost to the Lakers but Delonte West did not play in that game. They lost to the 76ers but none of the teams starters played in the meaningless season finale.

You are wrong, first of all Boston is a very good team even without Garnett. They play tough defense and have alot of weapons on offense. Orlando is a very good team and they will give cleveland all they can handle. They have nobody to handle Howard and if he is getting his, they will have open looks for 3. If Orlando shoots the ball at a decent percentage in the series, they have a great shot at winning it.

I would like to be confident to put my whole roll on the Cleveland line. I mean, yes they did have an astonishing home record this season. Yes, they have swept both of their series winning each game by double digits. Yes, they do sound upstoppable.

However, what too many people are simply dismissing is the matchup. Why do some shitty teams fare so well against one specific good team? Matchups and strategies are what it all boils down too.

I don't know enough about basketball to know/understand what these exactly are regarding Orlando/Cleveland but looking at the basics (scores/results) it is obviously that Orlando does play Cleveland differently than the other 28 teams.

95% of the posts on this forum are about discussing strategies/matchups. khaliagent did this, and everyone else posting 'you're stupid' and 'that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard' need to analyse/reflect upon his reasoning and then add their reasoning as to why they do not accept khaliagent's thoughts.

this little tibit from my boy jgbgsox

CLEVELAND is 9-1 ATS (+7.9 Units) in a home game where where the total is between 180 and 184.5 points this season let's hope this goes to 10-1 after tonight

THIS IS NOT A HOME GAME FOR THE MAGIC BUT BEST BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE INGREDIENTS TO BEAT THE CAVS.
PEITRUS WILL GUARD JAMES TOUGH AND RAFER CAN DEFINITELY HANG WITH MO WILL.
For the opener, Van Gundy will return rookie guard COURNEY LEE, HE WILL DEFINITELY BE ABLE TO HANDLE GIBSON OR WEST FOR THE CAVS.
TOO MUCH GOING AGAINST THE CAVS HERE....I MAY SPRINKLE A LITTLE ON THE MAGIC ML AND DEFINITELY WILL HIT THE SPREAD UP...
ORLANDO IS NOT ATLANTA AND WILL MAKE THE CAVS WORRY ALL SERIES.

more key trends since you guys like them from jgbgsox

CLEVELAND is 31-16 ATS (+13.4 Units) after a win by 10 points or more this season.CLEVELAND is 24-15 ATS (+7.5 Units) when playing against a team with a winning record this season.

what is this suppose to mean? If you are using statements like this as a reason to cap games you are probably not doing to well.

Mac4Lyfe · 05-20-09, 05:53 PM

Is Brendon Malone guarding Lebron tonight

kmarinouofm · 05-20-09, 05:54 PM

Right now Brendan Malone is probably telling everyone in the locker room.. i don't know if you guys know this.. but there is this guy named Lebron James on the other team.... we should probably try to guard him tonight!!

fade cleveland at your own risk.
hard to catch a falling knife, and hard to pick the game they won't win by double digits.

I can't believe you all doubted Lebron... shame!

tough loss for Cavs....but Lebron was not stopped... The Cavs other players relied on him to try to do it all...
