Can someone please explain how the Cavs, right now are favored to win the East?

[JakeT.]

At different points this year both ATL and Chi were favs to win the East. Then the Cavs made those 2 trades and they've been winning almost every game since, that is largely why they are back to being favs.

Could be both. Because of their improved results recently the public is all over them.

I think Cleveland would be a million times better with Shump starting instead of J.R. J.R. is an average defender and a shooter. Shump limited offensively but strong defender. Cavs already have 3 shooters on the floor with LeBron/Kyrie/Love. Only LeBron and Mozgov are above average defenders. Makes sense.

I really don't think Cavs are going to win it all this year. 5-5 last 10 versus potential playoff teams, 2-8 last 10 against potential playoff teams on the road. Just like the Heat in year 1 I think it's too soon. We shall see.

If playing the bulls, why nor bring in the 12th man and just make it a goal to hurt him. He is a known pussy

Cavs are big chalks to win both.

Only word required

Cause people love to bet on LeBron. Plain and simple.

I guess these points make the most sense to me.

 

[CHOPTALK]

How much better or worse would the cavs be with wiggins instead of of love?

 

[joebatters]

How much better or worse would the cavs be with wiggins instead of of love?

Yeah really. That was LeBron's call. Of course, the feeling was that they wanted to win now and that Wiggins was a few years away. But he is already looking like a star. Lot of pressure on Love now, and as I said he has no playoff experience either.

 

[JakeT.]

It seems strange that the Grizzlies are still around 13/1 to win it all. Most complete team in the NBA. Probably best defense in the NBA. Have scoring options at 4 different positions now. Tony Allen off the bench who can shut down numerous positions defensively. Love this bet.

 

[Gravy]

Derrick Rose is 1 play away from being sidelined again with all his injuriesand wouldnt count out the Wizards giving someone a scare in the playoffs

well well Rose out again good bye Bulls
