The Cleveland Cavaliers are a F’n problem!

[Mac4Lyfe]

Cavs are 24-9 against the spread. They are 29-4 on the season. This team is so fun to watch. Incredible.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Cavs just beat down the Warriors after blasting the Nuggets. They have yet to lose a game versus the West. This team is a fukking problem y’all. I hope you’re paying notice and cashing tickets.

[Mac4Lyfe]

They're back to scorching the earth. Them in the East and the Grizz in the West. Both teams playing super-fast... both Atkinson & Jenkins innovative coaches...

For years now coaches have been saying in training camp we're going to be top 5 in pace of play blah blah blah... but not everyone can do it and make it work. You could say it's because they have the talent to do it, but Bickerstaff had the exact same team... Jenkins meanwhile is using former GLeague guys like Pippen & Huff & LaRavia -these guys might well fail in other places.

Great post.
What amazes me is how so many people say that coaching doesn’t matter in the NBA. That’s crazy talk. Almost every team in this league have superstars. It’s a star league. But you need a coach that can manage egos and build a culture. This is the same Cavs team Bickerstaff had but they look totally different.

I closed out an open parlay with Cavs ml. That was easy.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Spida drops 27 as the Cavs blow out the Bucks. They are now 3-0 vs Milwaukee. I hope someone tailed.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Donovan will let you down when you need him most.

Donovan will bring it tonight. Cavs win big after the Bucks are fat and happy winning the cup. Let’s gooooo.

Pacers went through a bit of a slump after losing the cup final last year... I can see this happening to the Thunder to some degree. They've had a good run of late but their talent level isn't that special right now.

[IBetYou]

The Bucks are just a bad matchup for OKC. The Bucks are just physically imposing. When is the last time OKC scored over 100 points against the Bucks? They only scored 81 tonight. Ouch… Blowout city.

What did that have to do with my comment? lol

Yes, looked like the matchup angle was strong there. Smallball teams struggle against bigball teams. Thunder will look a lot different in the playoffs with Chet available, touch wood. But good on the Bucks. Anteto' is quite a character eh?

[Mac4Lyfe]

This cup framework is stupid. I thought initially they were going to put all the group games together. But no they have games all over the place. And what's this talk of wild card? Next best record is not wild card.

what's better bet than Cavs first quarter v bad teams right now?
hate that I don't bet quarters, Cavs making me re-think it as they are home v Hawks on Wed, then teams play again in ATL on friday

Damn, sorry I’ve been out of town fellas. I should have posted to layoff Cavs. It’s weird but they really struggle vs Trae Young. He kills them and guys like Jarrett Allen never play well.

Huge game Sunday vs the Celtics. We shall see if they are for real or pretenders.

No cup contest for the Cavs

[veriableodds]

Only time I wager these crab legs, and against a not good team(ATL) and loose

[stevenash]

Mac?
WTF is wrong with Mitchell's shot?
And Jalen Johnson is a beast, if Atlanta could flip Young in a trade that makes sense the Hawks could be contenders.

if the Cavs come out flat and are trailing and drop to -3, -2 live ill prob take a stab because the Pelicans are gutless in my opinion
and yes, if the Cavs are healthy they will be a major test for Boston. but Bos will still get Porz back soon and Brown played bad imo but Garland has to know when to stop shooting

Garland was God awful but he’s played too many games this season. Atkinson probably should have shelved him but this was good experience for Garland. Shooters have to shoot. He’ll get his offense right. His defense is the biggest question and that game Boston abused him and Merrill. Both players will have to step up their defensive intensity. This game was good experience.

[ThaTopMoron]

They had a 21 point lead. The game was looking like a blowout.

I wanted them to win just because it was the Celtics. But I think this was a good loss. I could see them easily dropping tonight’s game too. They’ve played more games than any other team which is very perplexing, so they have tired legs and coming off all this emotion. A big letdown is to be expected but Atkinson is a pretty good coach. I think he’ll have them prepared.

[asiagambler]

I like what Atkinson was doing at Brooklyn before he was forced out by Durant et al. Good to see him get another shot and doing well

[Mac4Lyfe]

Celtics never hold the big lead and never expected them to with it being on TNT. Drama down to the final minutes.
You didn't really want it to continue did you? Season is 82 games you don't want the team to be drained. They prob exhaled after the game and playing again v Pels who just got smacked... wouldn't surprise me if Pels cover and hang around most of the game.

We were watching different games. Merrill was the one I saw getting picked on all game -seemed like every play in that opening frame. Did well... Like a smaller Strus.
I guess Garland more an open court type. His p&r game hasn't appeared much better at all since he entered the league... a 6ft guard that can't read simple coverages and deliver passes on point and on time -and he's a starter! Imagine that! If they could trade him for Butler that would be good for both teams.

Oh yeah, they abused Merrill too. I’m surprised Atkinson gave him the start and played him that much. It was tough going with the Cavs missing so many players. If Okoro, Wade or LeVert had played, I think they could have won.

[ThaTopMoron]

If Tatums linebacker hit on Mitchell was properly called a flagrant foul, this game most likely goes into overtime. How many times can Tatum and Brown just push guys on the floor and never get called for fouls. Crazy.

The Celtics shot lights out, scored 36 more points from 3 than the Cavs, Cavs were missing Okoro, Wade, Levert and Strus, their top 4 on ball defensive players, Darius Garland having his worst game of his career and the Cavs still only lost by 3 points on the road. I can’t wait for Cleveland to wax that ass on Dec 1st. Can’t wait. Just have to stay healthy.

Garland has been awesome in the first 15 games. He’s been the MVP so far. He’s probably worn out as the Cavs have played more games than any other team in the NBA. He maybe a bad match for the Ca as they don’t respect him and just beat him to shit like Jordan rules. He’s put on a little bit of muscle but it may take a couple more years for him to defend Tatum and Brown. Boston put him in PnR and forced hi. To guard them all night. Great strategy.

Garland is penetrating horrible. Cavs have to get rid of this guy if they want to be contenders.

told everyone Cavs would lose because it's on TNT

of course the spreads and total were decided in the final 20 seconds....

I didn't think you were an NBA guy. I guess you started stealing from the books in every sport. What about NHL?

[lakerboy]

same old TNT, if the over hits first game take the under 2nd game. or reverse of that. 60% of the time it works everytime

[ThaTopMoron]

I saw Cavs +120 yesterday

now.. just now, I saw them go to +180

why?

another 15 game win streak ends? TNT style like the NFL made sure KC was undefeated for the Bills game at 4:25 which only had 2 other games going on?
