I don’t expect Cleveland to win but I put a few dollars on them because they were plus 600.

No defending him but curious what you thinking they should try here.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

They should likely cover if they getting 600 points so I think you got this.

Cleveland wisely attacking the rim a lot more than they did in Game 1.

Cavs are simply at a talent disadvantage. Garland is a tiny PG that is a sieve on defense. Okoro is useless. Mobley is a liability on defense for the most part except for the occasional block which is mostly due to bad offense rather than his defense. Mitchell is legit but he's one guy. This Cavs team needs a massive overhaul. No chance Mitchell is staying long term. They're kinda screwed because any team building with Garland as the #1 and Mobley as the #2 is destined for play-in territory at best.

Hopefully Niang fouls out before the 2nd quarter here.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

lol at ‘I can see Joe calling a timeout if they have a few more possessions like this.’ The lack of urgency is crazy.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….
