    Cavs should not be favored in game 4

    Sorry but the cavs should not be laying points here. Can they win? Sure. Will they? Coin flip. This series is a coin flip. Books trrying to make us believe the cavs will win. James has no one. This cavs team was never going to win anything.

    Books aren't doing anything. Why do people always say this? Books put out an opening number(better known as a dart) then the betting market completely controls it after that. They tried pk and the betting market bet it to where it is now (1.5/2). Nothing more. Stop over thinking.

    No dude... Cavs easy! Or no play at all if you think it's fishy. I think this is one of top spots in playoffs so far. And this may sound corny, but Lebron feeling disrespected by some Noah comments only fuels the fire. Seems like the perfect zig zag opp...

    Bettors and odds makers are too sharp and know Game 4 will be rigged

    Bulls are better.

    Plain and simple.

    Some years ago they would have still made Bulls favs they've gotten smarter. Over the years I've noticed the number man get smarter on other things too. He's not trying to predict the outcome too much pub perception to not make Cavs favs, normally Bulls would be no worse than pK but they've gotten smarter.

    Pau Gasol is considered questionable for this game.

    It's pretty obvious the NBA cares about it ratings and they love Lebron. They need Lebron to win and carry this series to 7 games. It's good for business and the game.

    If the games are a coinflip then why would series be a coinflip with Bulls up 2-1. Cavs are buried if they lose Game 4.

    Bulls are probably better without him. More Mirotic and Gibson has meant better play. Mirotic spaces the floor better for Rose.

    Wrong again laker boy. It's LeBrons turn
    Zig zag
    Do you really trust Rose?
    Lucky bank shot after he broke the og play call. Lebron missed a lay up. He is highly motivated and no one can stop him. Cavs only lose when he is passive, trying to be a player/coach. He will be in full kick ass mode tonight.

    Except that he wasn't passive in Game 3. Didn't he take 25 shots? He had the ball constantly. Just that he just wasn't very good, missed a lot of shots and turned it over 7 times. A lot of that is on Butler. Nobody guards him tougher.

    I am a believer in zig-zag though. Hard to bet against that.

    Is Kyrie hurt? He didn't look like himself.

    And this Lebron hasn't been aggressive thing is super dumb. He took 22, 29 and 25 shots the first 3 games (25.3 average). During the season he averaged 18.5 shots per game. In the Boston series, he averaged 22.5. It's not that he's not taking shots, it's that he's not making them (39.4%). When Lebron gets aggressive (as he has been), and when he faces an elite defender, his percentage goes down. Also, 15 turnovers in 3 games.

    He's been bailed out by Irving, Smith, Shumpert, Dellavadova and Jones EACH shooting over 40% on 3-pointers. They rely too much on 3's. What happens when they stop falling? Cleveland has scored 154 points on 3 pointers and FT's and 140 on 2-point baskets. Cleveland could be due not only for a loss, but a blowout loss. And they will have their excuse du'jour in Kyrie's foot.

    I agree like everyone else... quite surprised of the opening line. If it stays at Cleveland -2... Chicago is the play.

    It's just a real crazy line.

    Line is there for a reason. It's the Cavs turn. Teams are so close, it's all about effort.

    It's just a normal line adaptation to the fact that the Cavs are the team that "needs" to win more. Nothing to see here.

    Chicago should win.

    Which is why Clev. Will play so hard! Think of it this way, When the biggest, baddest lion is hungry, the whole pride hunts.

    Also, Shumpert is career-ing it. He is impressive at both ends now, seems more confident than ever.

    Gasol is a huge reason they won game 1. Bulls need all hands on deck here. Might as well sit gasol in game 4 so he can play the rest of the series. Cavs win game 4 regardless.

    Yeah but he wasn't a huge reason after that. Bulls are best with Mirotic on the floor.

    No because the whole team no showed in game 2 and he was hurt in game 3. If Gasol can't play, the Bulls will not win this series or any other.
