Edwards has 38 but the next teammate only has 11. They have become so one dimensional, it’s not sustainable. Contrast with the Cavs that are always moving the ball.

think they hold onto this lead and win by 10 to 15, even if Edwards keeps scoring and gets to 40, 45

Hard to recover from a 12 point 1st quarter. The rim looked like there was a lid on it.

I love Amen Thompson. He’s going to be an all NBA defender soon. His offense is really improving as well but a long way to to reach Edwards status.

He doesn't pass the ball. Turned to Jordan a month ago for advice because he was upset about teams double-teaming him -he wants to score every time. Great players make it easier for their teammates.

I give it two years... Thompson will be America's best guard.

just hurts with who's out right now for them

Mac4Lyfe · 02-11-25, 12:03 PM

Yeah, Edwards is in a no win position. He’s surrounded by a lot of JAGS with the injuries right now. Too much pressure for one player.

This is a good take. He has all the physical tools. He is LOOOONG. I already know his defense is going to be unworldly. Plus learning from tough nose Udoka will help a lot. Something just clicked with him offensively. If that continues, watch out.

I’ll be sitting courtside this Thursday when they play GSW. That game has become must see with Butler on the Warriors.

Mac4Lyfe · 02-22-25, 12:14 AM

Cavs blows out the Knicks by 37 points. Put up 142 points tonight. The Cavs are a Fn problem folks. Knicks have beaten up on bad teams but have to beat the top teams in the Association.

Mac4Lyfe · 02-24-25, 05:57 PM

Mac4Lyfe · 02-25-25, 11:59 PM

No Hum, just another 40 point beat down on the Magic. This Cavs team is scary good. Huge game in Boston on Friday.

IBetYou · 02-28-25, 07:58 PM

Jesus these guys are worse than I thought. Down 3-25 in Boston to a Celtics team missing Holiday and KP. Have actually seen this before so it shouldn't be a surprise; it's like the OKC game all over again.

When has Porzingus ever been healthy? You counting on him in the playoffs? Kornet played like 17 minutes. You really putting this loss on him?

‘You left the Cavs for dead the first few minutes. They settled in and masterfully walked the Celtics down and beat them in their own house. This Cavs team is special. Boston is still the favorite but THE CAVS ARE A FUKKING PROBLEM….

Yes, it’s early in the season but if the Cavs can finally stay healthy, they are going to be a tough out. New coach Kenny Atkinson is a huge upgrade over Bickerstaff. They are pushing the pace offensively and still very good on defense. The Cavs are built to beat Boston. They might still struggle with physical teams but NY lost their best big.

BTW, they’ve covered every game this season. All blowouts. Beating down the Lakers tonight.

+4000 to win it all is a good play.

Cavs are down to +700, behind…

Boston +175
OKC +200

He played 19mins. Minus 26 in those mins. Cavs got out-played by the Celtics starters in both halves. They are worse than I thought... sorry.

So you watched the Cavs go down 25-3 in the first few minutes and came to the conclusion they are worse than how you felt initially. Which means you really thought they sucked. They make a HUGE comeback and win the game, even after you posted their burial, and your excuse is Blame Kornet.

The Cavs and Boston are 2-2 against each other. They both have scored the same amount of points. Both teams have had stars out when they played. Stop making excuses. The Cavs are right there with Boston. Sure Boston are the champs. To be the best you got to beat the best. I favor them for sure. But this Cavs team is Jupiter rising. They’re coming for everyone.

Pritchard was also like -26. You blaming him too? Isn’t he the 6th man of the year? That’s like saying the Cavs went down 22 points because of Max Strus. Are you really going there? Did Tatum and Brown play? Weren’t they on the court when the Cavs came back and never looked back. But according to you the Cs lost because of Luke Kornet. Hilarious…

IBetYou · 03-02-25, 01:02 AM

It wasn't a prediction dopey. I was alluding to their chances in the outright market. They fall behind 3-25... then at the beginning of the 3rd the deficit stretches from 10 to 17. I deduce that their best lineup lacks teeth. One game sample but 3-25 penetrating hell...

Not a Celtics backer either -is that how you "win" arguments, falsely attributing opinions to your foes? Celtics have issues with Holiday banged up. Going to be an interesting playoffs this year. Try to enjoy it without pettiness -never met a good bettor that wanted everyone to agree with him, giving points and nominations to those that do ffs.

Tatum kept saying… “Get the fuk out of here”, basically punking the Cavs in the first few minutes of the game. Only for it to come back on him in the end. What’s even more funny was that Kenny Atkinson gave Tatum all kind of praise in the presser, saying how upstanding gentleman he is in the NBA. Haha

Maybe, just maybe the Cavs can’t play Boston with Allen and Mobley at the same time. Atkinson tried different things. His best lineup has been with one big. We shall see. But you said the Cavs showed you who they really were in just a few minutes of ONE game. Then when they come back, you blame Kornet. Not once did you give credit to the Cavs but doubled down that that are who you think they are, which in your book is trash. That’s okay. It’s your opinion, you are entitled to it and you could be right. When did I ever say you’re a Celtics fan? When was I being petty. You started a post gloating about the Cavs being down early and yet, never acknowledged them coming back and actually winning the game. I’m here to set the record straight. The Cavs won.

This is the NBA. Teams make runs all the time. 25-3, okay, well how about the run the Cavs made in the end? How many times has Boston blown big leads??

Mac4Lyfe · 03-02-25, 07:39 PM

We no longer have points. I nominate any posts that I think is good. Don’t care if it’s about the Cavs or not. I don’t care if anyone agrees with me or not. I posted this exact thread the last 3 seasons and the Cavs have been covering fools in the regular season. I didn’t create the threads before the season began like most homers. I watched them play a few games each season and came to that conclusion. You would have made a lot of money betting on them the last 3 years. Maybe this is their year. I still favor the Celtics but the Cavs have been steadily moving up in this league. They have been a problem that teams have to deal with.

Damn the Cavs are definitely a problem. It's going to be exciting in the eastern conference finals when the Cavs have game 7 at home vs Boston and lose unlike in 2018 when they won in Boston. You need LeBron to do that though.
