Cavs should steamroll the Celtics tonight

[Goat Milk]

Goat, is it fare to say that both coaches are a "little challenged"? I don't know if Mike Brown is any smarter than Rivers. The difference is Brown is working with the best player in the game and a deep team.

Rivers is inspirational. I like him. He's just an idiot when it comes to using his bench. Bench production is the key to long term success. Brown is better with his bench. He's good with diagnosing matchups. Let's see what he comes out with tonight. Putting Mo Williams on Ray Allen will be a huge mistake.

Mike Brown is still nothing to write home about, but he's made great strides this year. Also, Lebron manages the end of games mostly by himself now. Boston looked lost coming down the stretch of game 1. Doc was caught in the headlights.

I have to agree. Problem is everybody is a huge mismatch for MO on defense. MO is a +- loser every game practically for a +team so that tells you something. MO needs to go off offensively just to break even. Me, personally I wouldn't ever play MO. Streaky good shooter is all he is for me.

Yea, 3 points over the last 5 minutes says alot to what you are saying.

For real Willy, you got to drop the "gay mamba" and pick back up on a Lebron dunking avatar...it is killing me.

One of the keys to tonights matchup will be how Boston's anemic bench performs. They have got to get more than 14 and 12 minutes out of Tony Allen and Glen Davis. If they can get 16-18 quality minutes from each Boston wins this game.

Big Baby has been a huge disappointment all year after showing promise in the playoffs last season. But you're right, the Boston bench whether it be Tony Allen getting easy baskets by taking it to the hole, or Rasheed hitting a couple 3's, is key to their success. Their main guys just can't log 38+ minutes comfortably and still have enough to hang with Cleveland at the end of the game.

And chasing with Cleveland ML the entire series is dangerous. Yeah, they're supposed to beat the Celtics easily...but they're also one hyperextended elbow away from losing this series.

How about this one over KG?

I'm liking your Cavs chase idea btw.

I agree that was why I prefaced it with people that actaully have money. No I wouldn't reccomend this to the $25 bettor that has $159.27 in his account or any peon in general. The strategy is right for me because even if Boston was to win the series they won't do it in 4 straight regardless of James was out are not.

Yea, I like that one better. Also, keep in mind that tealish thinks chasing on Cavs ML is dangerous

That's why I prefaced it about not being of for peons.

True, but still I don't think it's unlikely for the C's to beat a LeBron-less Cavs team 4 straight times. Cavs may be deeper this year, but they don't have the pieces to handle losing the L's MVP. Psychologically, they'll be done for already.

Chasing is fine. The only problem with that is Cleveland is going to lose both games in Boston.

Williams, change that shit back.

Lol Williams, I think after that dunk, it was all downhill for KG from here. Tough, I really liked the guy before

Not a chance. Cavs will win one in Boston.

gotta agree with this...but i don't trust the under or over and don't trust the -6 for the Cavs, either Boston will lose by DD or they will lost by under 5...just not sure how they will come out and play after the game 1 collapse.

Cavs pulled a cover out their ...game 1 that was crazy so im just going big on Cavs ML tonight.

[Goat Milk]

Not a chance. Cavs will win one in Boston.

yeah- what are odds (if cle wins tonight) for Boston winning 2 straight at home?

[tealish]

If it's better than +350, I'll take Boston winning 2 in a row at home too.
