I just made 2 Futures bets on the Cleveland Cavaliers

[Mac4Lyfe]

Markkanen IN, Garland/ LeVert OUT

Markannen still may not play.

but why the Fukk is Garland out again? This shit is getting ridiculous. You’re good to play in the All Star game but can’t play against a Detroit team that beat you a few weeks ago? These guys are reading their own press clippings. Very disappointed because they looked like a team first squad hungry a few months ago. Fukkk

[shadymcgrady]

Didn't Chris Paul play with a glove just to get an assist despite missing the rest of the regular season?

[ChuckyTheGoat]

I have gotten destroyed in this thread.

Follow, fade or Ignore. Do as you see fit.

Three plays:
*Cavs (game) -6 -105. 630/600.
*Cavs 1h -3. 220/200.
*Cavs 1st qtr -150. 150/100.

Good Luck!

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Don't need to listen to me:

*I like the spot. This is Road Fav off BB Losses WITH revenge for bad laydown last meet vs DET.

That was game they sprinted out to 15-0 lead and then melted down in 4q. Despite absences, they have plenty here. Just have to regain focus.

Mac cleveland isn't winning the east man

[Str8Mush4Life]

1st quarter locked in Mac

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Dammit. I might be short again.

Doesn’t look that way. Team defense has gone to shit the last month. I was banking on the defense because the offense is already challenged. My one hope is that they figure shit out once they have their full lineup. They still have not all played together. Crazy.

good shit Musher. I don’t know what to expect with this team every night now. Total dice roll.

Damn Chucky. I was pulling for you in the first half. But a push is a win there. Let’s hope they bring it home in the 4th quarter.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Think I jinxed this team.

We'll see if PORT can win yet again.

You right, their defense has gone to crap. Allen overrated

When is the last team to win a championship without a legit superstar?

[ChuckyTheGoat]

When is the last team to win a championship without a legit superstar?

Pistons come to mind with the VERY SOLID core, but arguably no superstar:

*Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace, Billups, Richard Hamilton.

[Mac4Lyfe]

When is the last team to win a championship without a legit superstar?

Garland is a legit superstar but he’s turned into Anthony made of glass Davis.
Allen should be a superstar but he’s terribly inconsistent. He’s really the glue to the team but he doesn’t know it. When he sucks the team sucks.

[Mac4Lyfe]

The press has jinxed this team. They’ve read their clippings and think they’ve already won a title because Lebron wants to play with them.

All the while, Portland is playing with a huge chip. Love to see it.

Very good synopsis, Mac. Any handicapping success I used to have was mostly based on Contrarian Handicapping.

Cavs really could have gone as high as the 1-seed. But they've mangled it.

Spot-on re: Portland. Those guys are making the most of their opportunity. Amazing how motivation will light a spark.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Garland, Levert and Rondo all out tomorrow vs Washington. WTF, this team has been decimated by injuries. This is really getting ridiculous. Be lucky for them to make the play in game now.

total Degenerate play:

Cavs 1q M/L -190. 380 to win 200.

Let's go Chucky.

[Mac4Lyfe]

I'm rolling with the Under. Cavs have to slow it down and ramp up the defense without any guards.

Will Windler/Pangos get minutes 2nite?

[ChuckyTheGoat]

I have jinxed this team. More bleeding.

[Mac4Lyfe]

I have jinxed this team. More bleeding.

Injuries have taken its toll. Playing too many Gleague players now. Fuk. It was a good run.

[IBetYou]

Pangos don't play for the Cavs no more. He left to play for CSKA Moscow, although given what's going on over there he may be back before long.

Speaking of Ukraine... why don't CJ McCollum and the Social Justice Council do something about Putin?

[IBetYou]

Nightmare season for Pangos; a total flop in the NBA. Then goes to Russia and it's WW3.

Pangos basically got replaced by GLeaguer Goodwin. Sports is a business. One minute you're in the NBA, the next minute you are in Syberia.

One more game without Garland, Rondo, Levert, (Rubio, Sexton). This team is playing basically with one point guard and he's a Gleaguer. The way I used to just bet the Cavs ML, I now just bet Cavs Under. Tonight is 108. How the hell are they going to score 108 points with one PG? The only way the Cavs can win games is to slow it down, play hard nose defense and hope to win down the stretch.

I'm HUGE on Cavs Under 108.

[JIBBBY]

Cavs lose tonight. This team is hard to bet on lately.

[shadymcgrady]

So it seems like garland has a back injury that could be worrisome. Don't know why he put on a show in the all star game if that was the case

He has a case of the bitchitis..

[shadymcgrady]

He has a case of the bitchitis..

Maybe, maybe he just wanted to play in the all star game for the first time. Either way he is the most important player for the Cavs given the next man up rondo cannot sustain long stretches of a playoff series as the primary creator for the offense. Cle has alot of time to get it right before the playoffs so we'll see

[JIBBBY]

Garland does make the wheels turn on this Cavs team. He's out and that's why I will fade the Cavs tonight.

[shadymcgrady]

They are gonna be running cedi Osman at the point, lol wtf

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Here are my plays:

*Cavs +3 -106. 530/500.
*Cavs +137 M/L. 100/137.
*Cavs 1h +1.5. 420/400.
*Cavs 1q +1 (-115). 276/240.

Have to attach one video:
