The Cleveland Cavaliers are a F’n problem!

[ThaTopMoron]

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.

just hurts with who's out right now for them

[IBetYou]

Come back to ridicule me in two years lol

[IBetYou]

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

[IBetYou]

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.

[Mac4Lyfe]

People got carried away with Edwards last year. Great down hill scorer but not really a lead guy. Amen Thompson will surpass him before long as the top American 2-guard.

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.

[Mac4Lyfe]

no wonder the Cavs are killing the wolves because they couldn't hit a shot for almost an entire quarter... they didn't cover again last game v wizards so the % of covering for this game went UP up and away!

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.

They were 2-21 in that first quarter. I’m not sure if Hunter makes the Cavs defense this good?? Or the Twolves are just sucking eggs.

Mac, are you betting any Cav futures? To win the East? Or to win the NBA?
I haven't followed NBA that closely this year. Just a couple observations:
1) I know Boston is coasting. I'm not sure they're that HUNGRY this year. Might not just be them coasting.
2) Remember all the Western notes I posted last year. My instinct is that the West isn't that strong this year OUTSIDE of OKC. Teams like DEN/Min/Dal are not as good as they have been in the past.
I'll be rooting for your Cavs. Hope they do it.

I’ve got futures on them to win the east and win the NBA. I’ve been tying up my money on futures bets. Haha. OSU cashed for me. The Browns did not. I also have +3000 o the Gators basketball team. That team probably has a better shot than the Cavs. They are built to win a title, crazy guard play, tough, LONG big men.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Lakers starting 5 looks really good
Luka, reaves, lebron, finney-smith, and williams. Several games over .500 and upgraded their roster.

I like the Lakers and Mavs after the trades, provided all these guys can stay healthy, especially AD. The Mavs defense is going to be ridiculous and the Lakers are going to be impossible to stop from scoring.

[Mac4Lyfe]

T-Wolves open the game by going 0 for their first 15 from the field.
Finer brick laying you'd be hard pressed to find, unless of course you're at a mason convention.
0 for 15, I don't think I'd ever see such a dubious beginning.

It's a good move. Niang too weak defensively to be of any use in the playoffs. LeVert mediocre. Hunter will likely remain a backup, but definitely strengthens their rotation.

I really like Niang, although he’s athletically challenged. He seems to be a locker room glue guy. Him and Thompson were very close and did a very entertaining podcast. LeVert was just so inconsistent. I’ve been watching basketball for decades and have never seen a guy air ball 5foot shots like he does. Good grief, he miss too many bunnies. Plus he was on an expiring contract. He had to go.

I think this move makes Cleveland a serious contender.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Deandre Hunter is a good pickup, hes been getting better over the years but hawks are putting their faith in the rookie.

Yeah, he’s a solid starter. I hate messing with the roster when it seems like Cavs players like playing together but this is an upgrade at SF.

[Mac4Lyfe]

The Cavs were up 8 with 56 sec left and magically win by 3 needing a last sec shot to go in. The Cavs really fouled same guy twice in the final 10 seconds shooting a 3...

the Cavs moved down to -3.5 with guys being confirmed out for the game...

Cavs lost to Boston on TNT (hmmm, remember this happening on TNT when the Cavs were 15-0 and I told you to bet Boston?)

so lost one and now won played with the spread... next opponent is washington who after losing 16 in a row have won 3 ROAD games in a row?

Yeah, Cavs spread is a good bet next game. That is how the league works.

Yeah, you have to read the tea leagues in the NBA. A lot of strange shit day to day. Cavs were up 10 in that game with 40 something seconds. Game should have been over. Then allow Detroit to go on a 12 to 2 run. How the hell do you let them tie the game? How the hell did Detroit cover the spread. Strange shit.

Yes the Cavs have now lost to Boston, OKC and Houston twice. But they were without both their best wing defenders in Wade and Okoro. For as awful as they played last night they were still in it at the end. Boston was at full strength. I don’t worry about meaningless games in February. The Cavs will be alright. But feel free to pile on right now.

Meaningless February game bro. Stick with your words. I will be back in May. You will not.

Haha, I’ll be here in May. It’s only basketball. For some reason you thought they would lose tonight. Nope. It’s all good.

They are third in the east pegging order. Boston and NY are both better. They will lose again today but it's February and those games are meaningless right? Team is not going to win anything.

Cavs will have the best record in the East and home field advantage in the playoffs. Boston is the champion. You will have to go through them but NY is nowhere the team they were 2 years ago when they beat Cleveland in those playoffs. The Knicks are much softer. Ain’t worry about NY.

Cavs are far better this season, and you'd have to be blind not to see it. Celtics likely still #1 in the east. Knicks pfft... probably not even top 4.

[lakerboy]

Trash? The Cavs have been an upstanding organization for quite some time. They always carry upstanding players. You don’t see them inthe news doing dumb shit. They are young and inexperienced but they will be a force to reckon with as these older teams get too old.

Got bitch slapped by 'the rivals'

[lakerboy]

Same Cavs team we already knew about. They’re the new regular season try hard team. At best they get to ECF. Nothing new here.

Give me 20/1 for the Cavs to win the conference.

I wouldn't bet it with your money

Of course you would because those aren’t the odds. They are basically +350 to make the finals.

Can I get Boston to win ECF at 20/1 or no?
