    I do not like the idea at all. in my eyes they would not be terrible + I expect overreaction with spreads after LBJ leaving

Love going to score more , also some clutch mins coming for him. vets are not scared to play as they had 4 trips to finals last years , so I expect high confidence anyway. cannot imagine hood playing worse :P clarkson can produce , osman better for sure + sexton. they are not bad. winning culture last years

    cavs don't know how to play defense in the regular season

    fade em to the bank just avoid certain spots and situations like the cavs playing a tired team or a team on a long winning streak

    should be easy easy money early on vs good to very good teams

    toronto will want to rape them regardless of lebron being gone

    i literally had no clue the cavs were playing... or who they were playing

    they played toronto and were down like 13 at half?

    wow... if only i listened to myself more often... easy win

    i don't bet early in the nba season tho, too much football and spot games in baseball playoffs to worry about the crappy NBA

    line was +13. cavs have covered, 1-0 ATS this year , expect more of those backdoor covers. too high lines coming

    wow the line was that high... even more incentive to bet 1st half only

    tired of losing spreads in the 4th quarters because the better team coasts to the finish line

    nba final 5 minutes are nuts anyways to begin with

    I had a feeling that last few seconds would have fukked someone. I didn't bet this game because too many NBA shenanigans.

    I don't know what to think of the Cavs. They might get a bunch of wins over teams that are just as bad as they are. The East really sucks this year (the last decade too). Who will be playing for ping pong balls early? The Cavs should lose to keep their protected draft pick but Dan Gilbert is too prideful and is trying to win with poor talent. I'd lay off them the first third of the season. They'll play hard and keep lines close most likely. Midway in season and the last third is where reality will set in and they will be losing by blowouts.

    They will be dreadful but I could see them being scrappy and covering a lot of games.

    You think the Cavs are bad. Take a look at who the Clippers have on their team. They are winning right now at halftime, but at the end of the season they will have the worst record in the league.

    Orlando will be right there with them at the bottom.

    i was thinking the opposite (tail cavs) (and i don't see 2-0 ATS as validation of my being correct)....

    basically kevin love and some nice pieces that fit modern nba (ball movers and 3 point shooters)

    love was a beast for minnesota. a long time ago but he just voluntarily cut back his FGA rate in cleveland. probably itching to shoot way more.

    sexton/clarkson are high energy PG/combo guards... george hill too..

    i will admit i had never heard of their second dominant minutes player. a euro guy. i will get his name.

    rodney hood is good player

    also, korver (limited minutes so far), TT (he sucks), JR (limited minutes or DNP so far), ro

    we should have a pool on worst nba record. gotta be western conference as there are alot fewer soft spots.. LAC, sac-town, maybe memphis??

    thinking about it, i'm thinking there aren't that many eastern soft spots either. but the travel is alot better.

    Cavs are 7 pt favorites over the Hawks?

    i'd blindly put my money on Hawks +7 as the Cavs may have had lucky covers but they will struggle to be able to mentally pull out a win and cover of that magnitude as they will be thinking... if this gets close late... we don't have LeBron to bail us out... they won't know who to give the ball too.
