Isaiah Thomas will make his debut Tuesday night in Portland

Interesting to see how the Cavs do with Thomas. He is going to have more passing

KRIT · 01-01-18, 02:43 PM

Blazers will likely be an auto play for me here.

Jose Calderon has done a solid job for them but I think it's a safe bet they'll be a lot better with Isiah in his place.

Why? Cavs have lost three straight? Blazers playing in Chicago today as well

I like to fade teams integrating a new big player.

jjgold · 01-01-18, 02:53 PM

If he dominates the ball the Cavaliers are an easy out

Let’s not forget he’s about half the player Kyrie Irving is

Yup. Cleveland will be fresh and motivated, Portland will be exhausted.

Hman · 01-01-18, 05:33 PM

Even a perfectly healthy Thomas from here on out isn't enough to get the Cavs a title.

Bingo

Reporting 8-12 minute time limit. Not a real factor.

Think he will be a ton of fun late in season and playoffs. Certainly NOT Kyrie, but has proven to be a hand full in the 4th under pressure.

Totally agree with this. Cavs not used to playing with IT. But i do expect Cavs to win but just in a close game. Im taking the 8 points with the Blazers.

RudyRuetigger · 01-02-18, 01:06 PM

pretty sure he is retired

Cavs 2-15-1 ATS at home

blazers 13-5 ATS on road

plus the blazers 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS on the second game of road back to back so far this year

Gooleez21 · 01-02-18, 01:35 PM

He may be looking forward to tomorrow too much

spargament · 01-02-18, 01:42 PM

Telling you, Cavs win this game regardless of how much IT and Lillard play. This is a ridiculous spot play given rest. Not just the B2B.

3 games in 4 days, crossed a time zone after the Hawks game to play the Bulls. Lost an hour last night w/ another time zone change. OT game. Cavs on 3 days rest.

Lebron by himself gets them there

19th Hole · 01-02-18, 03:04 PM

He may get stepped on.

Pikachu · 01-02-18, 07:33 PM

Haven't seen him played since last year playoff. The guy looked so tiny and kind of fat.

shadymcgrady · 01-02-18, 07:42 PM

I'd be surprised if it2 can fit in well with Lebron. He seems to need to dominate the ball in order to be effective which happens to be Lebrons strong suit

Catch and shoot players seem to work best with Lebron and Thomas needs about 45 dribbles before he feels comfortable shooting

He's also a poor passer due to his limited court vision bc of his height. A big red flag for a point guard

The only way I see thomas thriving is if Lebron takes a back seat since he's more capable of adapting his game to other areas and letting Thomas play to his strengths

Kyrie didn't dominate the ball?

Lebron stepped back to give kyrie the green light to shoot it up. Kyrie has a reliable jumper

Have you watched Thomas play? He dribbles and dribbles then dribbles some more and hopes for a bailout or hand out free throw. He's mini Lebron

Come on guy

ThaTopMoron · 01-02-18, 08:03 PM

Cavs ended 2Q on a 7-0 run... finally playing a bit of D

I would take Cavs 2H as they are on a 3 game slide... but you never ever know with this team

jjgold · 01-02-18, 08:12 PM

They lack defense when he plays

Liability overall

Cavs only play defense when they want to... that's why that Golden State game was low scoring. they played D but still shot horribly themselves and then the refs ended them

play4win · 01-03-18, 12:03 AM

and he ain't gonna play against boston, fackin dummies

jjgold · 01-03-18, 06:39 AM

He is not even playing tonight in Boston

PUSSY

19 minutes = 17 points
