Regarding the Cavs...

perfect spot to fade em tonight if you ask me. They have been playing down to teams all year long and haven't really laid too many beatings at all. If you see them catching DD's vs anyone save NJ, FADE them....
Mo provided a lot of points/assists per game, with that gone, and delonte as a replacement for him, not sure what the heck they are gonna do cept keep James in all game.

OKC plus the points tonight

It'll be interesting to see how the Cavs adjust. They signed a D-League PG to a 10-day contract, although I doubt he'll play much. I think Boobie will start at point. However, I think we may see Lebron at point at times which could be very scary for opposing teams. Anthony Parker is also capable of playing the point.

I've been burned so many times betting against OKC, I wouldn't be surprised if they win SU tonight

OK has been hot the last month...Roll with em until they run cold is my thesis

If I was forced to pick I would say no, they don't. However, I'm staying away from this one since I need to see how Mike Brown is going to adjust. For example, if Mike Brown starts Boobie but has Lebron run point, he could go into his "Magic mode" and start setting up Boobie and AP for 3s all game (both top 5 3-point shooters). If the Cavs run Boobie at point all game I think they will struggle as he's really not a natural PG.

That being said, Cleveland should dominate inside. However, I think that the Cavs will grind out a win here and will never lead by more than 8.

Well, my gut was right, but I'm glad I didn't play it. Great game by Lebron as he spent most of his time playing Point. That last block he had on Durant was amazing!

Very much so. Glad to see him have a decent night when he got the chance.
