Cavs at Lakers on Thursday

[rake922]

What would you set the line at?

[BigDeem5]

Cavs -3.5

[TwoWays]

Depends on kobe and lin. Kobe playing make lakers 5 point dog. Lin playing makes lakers 10 point dog. Both playing id set the line at lakers 20 point dog

[jjgold]

Who would've thought love thing Irving are the weaker players on Cleveland

[laclippers504]

Poor Lakers

MUCH AS I'M ON THIS I CANT STAND THEORY CAVS MENTALITY RIGHT NOW

THEY PROBABLY WIN THIS GAME

[laclippers504]

Meaning the CAVS probably win

[Git Lo]

Cavs by 30

The lakers are an even bigger joke than the cavs. Watching the Heat/Lakers game was funny. 4th Quarter NBA ball at it's very worst. Heat turnover, then Nick Young playing hero ball and taking 4-5 low percentage shots after some fancy dribbling, even missing a key dunk on a fastbreak late in the game trying to be flashy. Then the old Mamba Kobe re-enters the game making several key mistakes on both ends (throwing the ball into the stands, getting blocked, 39 year old hero ball at it's finest). Meanwhile, who even knows what the hell Carlos Boozer does out there, besides yell. He's got the hops of a 5 year old now, I almost feel bad for the guy, he's too slow to compete. You've got some random players in Davis and Hill that can contribute occasionally. Then there's Lin, makes a great play, only to be followed up with an equally disastrous play (Turnover to Chalmers for an easy bucket late). The Cavs are at least trying and competing for the playoffs/seedings and just going through a tough stretch, the Lakers are a complete disaster offensively, they beat themselves with no ball movement, poor offensive ball movement overall, just hero ball BS from "Swaggy P" and Kobe. This is one spot I would pound the Cavs, at least the ML hard. All you need is a half healthy Lebron and Love.

Will the cavs tank to get rid of the coach?

[juanquintero]

I think opening this threads for games are really great, instead of each one giving a opinion in a different topic. If you want a player prop take LeBron James as he looked great in the 1st game and always gets fired up vs Kobe

[jjgold]

I took over 205.5 I believe

lean towards Lakers also

[Smoke]

Laker ml

[RavensFan2k3]

I like Lakers here

[kobstopa]

Laker ml

I like Lakers here

You all can't be serious? I would consider lakers +9
I think the cav will put up some points while Kobe will brick some air balls.

kevin love always have a big game in LA

[stevek173]

How is Harold?

[jjgold]

Cleve does not have the players to compete on major level

[dawgs777]

Julius randle would of made a difference for lakers.

Hi, how do you feel that any of that historical data will play any part in tonights game considering the
complete roster overhauls during that period?

the head to head doesn't mean much but Cleveland's ATS record this season speaks for itself. Especially on the road.

[Emf66]

the head to head doesn't mean much but Cleveland's ATS record this season speaks for itself. Especially on the road.

With respect it completely doesnt:

1. Lebron out extended period
   
2. Irvine out
   
3. Moz / Smith intro
   
4. completely overhauled team in the first place

If what you are trying to say is the Cavs have been very poor ACROSS THE BOARD yes thats
completely justified but to use that to project forward is an extremely dangerous game. They could
win or lose this game by 15-20. The constant squawking about the coach situation may well play a
factor which no capper can assess either so imo anyone taking a position on this game is pretty brave lol but BOL to all. A sensible thought would be to play it live/ingame once you get time to assess
effort levels and players mindsets

Im not being a dick btw, Im heavily invested in historical data (team of 3 who crunch it for me) and
its bearing on NHL/NBA/MLB and its great if you use it correctly and completely misleading if
you dont

[Ghenghis Kahn]

if kobe and swaggy both play, this game goes under. they'll probably make 5 out of 50 shots combined.

[dawgs777]

fk cavs vs lakers

give us LeBron vs kobe one on one

[TwoWays]

Watch whoever kobe guards tonight. If that person works on there stand still practice 3 pt shots with no one in the gym they will be successful.

[Azshadios]

Under

[Git Lo]

Cavs by 30

on pace

[James Marques]

Tied after 1. If this stays close, Cavs will quit. You don't fight for a coach you don't respect.

[Git Lo]

Whats going on with the coach? They have a solid roster.. they can figure out defense I wouldn't even worry about the Cavs

[TwoWays]

Cavs suck. They have an average team, playing well cause it's against the lakers

[GoBlue77]

cavs players have been reported as saying to opposing teams plays that they were losing to get fired. not the first time its happened in NBA but to openly admit to the other team and now its public record. not a good look.

[TwoWays]

Whoever kobe is guarding can get an uncontested shot whenever

[GoBlue77]

Cavs suck. They have an average team, playing well cause it's against the lakers

playing well lol? they just let the LAKERS shoot 60%

[TwoWays]

Lebron is not a leader. Dwayne Wade was the leader among them and bosh in Miami.
