I hope everyone betting against them loses money tonight.

Ibaka is supposed to be one of our high energy guys... I want to see him play his ass off against the champs after playing poorly in the first two games. Only way we make noise this season is if he's active and engaged.

16. We'll make it a little respectable in garbage time

After Cleveland we will face 76ers in Philli and Sacramento/Washington at home, so I really think we could end up 3-3.

That's what we would hope but honestly I just don't see it happening. As much as people like to rag on philly and sac. They are playing hard out the gate. I think we will be lucky to win 1 of those 3 games. This team has not shown me anytning to believe that we can even beat teams like sac,philly,pho,Washington, Milwaukee. We are seriously playing the worst basketball in the nba right now.

Even if I don't look down on the people that do, I never have and never will vote against my team or national team.

Hey I hope I lose money tonight too! But if this team continues to play like easily the worst team in the league, the only way I will continue to watch is for them to get much better on the court or for me to bet on the games. I've been a fan since 1995 but this is easily the least interested I've ever been in the team with this garbage start. I was excited before the season too! They just look SO bad out there.

Last year we started with a bad record too but we were competitive against much better teams. This year looks different. Bad different. Like the Cavs will easily win by 12 points different.

I don't want my team to lose but if it's easy money (which a -11 point spread sounds like it is) I don't mind making a bet against them. Like I said though, I don't gamble.

The Cleveland Cavaliers IR:
- Channing Frye missed last night's game to be with family after passing of his mother after battle with cancer; unclear if he'll be with the team tonight.

The Orlando Magic IR:
- Jodie Meeks (foot) is out.

Also, my wager is on 24.

Just play hard. Hope I'm not expecting too much.

Post #72 » by **SOUL** » Sat Oct 29, 2016 8:13 pm

PER isn't an end all be all stat, but it's hard to win when only three players are above 17 (Payton, Gordon and Vuc) while Ibaka and Fournier are at 6 and 9. The next closest person is Zimmerman at 12.

Also only two players above 40% field goal percent in two games... Gordon and Payton. No wonder we're 0-2 lol.

May the basketball Gods have mercy on us tonight.

Predicting that we keep it close. Within 10 points.

Less than 30 will be mercy..

The NBA Champs vs a young team, playing bad, with low energy and rhyme?

Hopefully tonight a few players step up..

I'm definitely expecting a loss, I just want to see energy and the continued stellar play from Payton/Gordon.

Also, is it bad that I can't wait until they're somewhat blowing us out and we get to see a lot of Hezonja/Payton/Gordon trio?

Landshark · Post #77 » by **Landshark** » Sat Oct 29, 2016 10:11 pm

I'll go with 22. I expect a bigger deficit than that, but we'll make it up a bit in garbage time.

Post #78 » by **eyriq** » Sat Oct 29, 2016 10:18 pm

I think we win. In the season we make the playoffs we win this

40pts, most of the points will be from someone unlikely on the cavs, tristan thompson or summit

Will we lose by over 30pts?
