I just made 2 Futures bets on the Cleveland Cavaliers

[Bostongambler]

28 now. As I’m sure you know. Get it!!!!

[d2bets]

I found a Cavs to win east +15000 tonight. Funny thing is they are 3rd to last in odds, behind Pacers, Hornets and Raptors. Come on. Those teams are not making the playoffs.

[Mac4Lyfe]

31+

He's at 28 now and the Kings made a great run, so he's not coming out of this one. He should get that easily.

Cavs read their press and let up at half. A loss here would really be painful but they just might need something like this.

Where? That's great odds. Edit. Damn DraftKings that I can't get.

Cavs had a 29 point lead down to 8. Unreal. Kings were in the bonus in the first 45 seconds of the 4th quarter. I've never seen that before. Damn refs.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Allen at 30 now. Just needs 1 more point for you.

[Bostongambler]

29 now....


Good luck

[Mac4Lyfe]

Wow, horrible offensive call on Rubio. Refs got a phone call.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Allen should be shooting throws to cover here.

[Str8Mush4Life]

Boom with the free throws

[Bostongambler]

Didn’t it land on 31?

[Mac4Lyfe]

The last time the Cavs didn't have a lead?? Last Wednesday in the 1st quarter.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Didn’t it land on 31?

Hmmm, according to the stats it says 31. I thought he had 33? 31 should still be a winner but that was close. Would have easily had it if it was PRB instead of PRA.

[Str8Mush4Life]

The way I say things is fuzzy.

I had points+rebounds+assists over 30.5 so I say I need 31, which you are correct it landed on.

Good shit. They must have took away 2 of his points? He had 21 by my count?? It really shouldn't have been so close. Allen normally pulls 15+ boards a night. I'm not sure how they record blocks either because he had 6 by my count but was only credited for 4?

Nice hit.

This Cavs team is a covering machine.

Thanks Boston, now if I can get 2 more assists from Seth Curry then we'll be good (not looking good though lol).

Good luck all!

[Mac4Lyfe]

These lines have not caught up yet. Way too soft against this Cavs juggernaut.

I got the Cavs losing only 2 games for the next month. Possibly only losing 1 game. They do that and people will really start to take them serious.

[Goat Milk]

Goat, you are a basketball purist. Have you stopped looking at stats?

Jarrett Allen top 10 in Oreb, Dreb, overall rebounds and efficiency. Also Allen is #16 in blocks. Mobley top 6 in blocks. When do you see 2 teammates both in top for blocks? Garland top 10 assists, #7 turnovers. You are looking at 2 All Stars in Allen and Garland and Mobley will be rookie of the year and rookie first team All Star. The Cavs have lost just 2 games with the 3 of them playing.

Apart from Jokic and Embiid, I could make a great case that Allen is the 3rd best center in the league right now. He totally shitted on KA Towns tonight. Please keep it quiet but Darius Garland is quickly making a name for himself as a PG. Most casual basketball people don't even have them on PG lists but the guy is quietly becoming one of the best in the Association?

They're a good team defensively for sure but they will struggling to score the ball in the playoffs. Mobley Allen Markinen, Garland, all those guys can get shut down real quick, they have no offensive game. Their strategy is to get out and run. That doesn't work in the playoffs when the game slows down and you have to score in the halfcourt.

The Bulls would destroy this team in a 7 game series, not to mention several of the top dogs in the East. Jrue Holiday will absolutely shut down Garland if they played a 7 game series, it would be embarassing. And who's gonna guard Giannis? Mobley? Okoro? Lol. Laughable. Please. I realize you're a homer, and I agree the future is bright for Cleveland if they can attract a real superstar perimeter player, but spare me for now.

[Wrongside]

I just I should add my gripe here. I too have futures on division and conference (1st week or two of season I placed it) but I don’t care. I was staring at +1100 to make playoffs up until 10-14 days ago, and now it’s all more annoying because I didn’t pull the trigger.

The Cavs have had their struggles in the 4th quarter this year. That is something they will need to work on. Sexton was the guy but now they need to find another go to. About the only guy that can stop Garland is Holiday. No shame in that, Holiday is a lock down defender. Mitchell did a pretty good job shutting Garland down in the 4th tonight as well. They have plenty of time to figure things out. I think Mobley and Allen should be the 1-2 punch. We'll see. Milwaukee had the same problem the last few years. Who takes the last shot. Holiday is still probably the go to although Giannis is now getting All Star foul calls. Many of those calls are bullshit.

The Bulls just got BLOWN out by the Cavs. The Bulls do not have an answer for the Cavs big lineup. Lonzo was guarding Mobley. Good luck with that. Garland had no problem scoring against them. Who on the Bulls team is going to score on the Cavs? That was their 2nd lowest scoring game of the season. The Cavs will easily overtake this Bulls team. Watch. The only 2 teams in the East that can give the Cavs problems are the Nets and the Bucks. Both of those teams can score even against top defenses. You have to be able to shoot from 3 and be able to make tough contested shots over 7 footers. Most teams can't do that.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Look at the Cavs shooting value rankings. That's about 5th best in the league. The stats show that this offense is pretty good. They move the ball like the old Warriors. But the scoring stats value points to problems in the 4th quarter as they are 23rd. Some of it could be because they've blown a bunch of teams out and just coast in the 4th but I agree with their 4th quarter struggles. They had nice leads against the top tiered teams but ended up losing in crunch time. Fortunately, they are ranked #1 in the 1st quarter and #2 in the 3rd quarter.

We will both be able to hedge these bets for a nice profit...

I wish I had a make the playoffs bet. That is a no brainer.

That's usually and probably the case, but there's a first for everything. Zero chance is inaccurate, and you don't believe it. I know you don't believe it because you won't hand me $1 million if if happened. If there's 0 chance, why not?

There’s always a possibility for everything in this world, be it 0.0001%, that’s still a chance right ? But come on man, unless somethign crazy shit we have never seen happening, like all the top players out injured in the East except these Cavs players, it’s just not happening lol

Mac, year after year on this site, you rely so much on the regular season. You know all of these games being played right now mean nothing right? Zero. It feels like I have the same conversation with you guys every single year. There's a reason I said Utah wouldn't get past the second round last year after their amazing regular season. No one on this site said that except me. Everyone had Utah at minimum in the WCF. Minimum.

When it gets to the playoffs, teams actually try. Veteran players actually care. When you're the Cavs and you're full of all these wide eyed youngins, diving on the ground for every loose ball, that means nothing other than you care more about a meaningless game than a guy like KD who has 2 finals MVPs.

In a bulls series, Bulls have the best player on the court. Derozan is the best player in a cavs bulls series. You know who the second best player is? Zack Lavine. You know who the third best player is? Vucevic.

Goodnight Cavs. You catch my drift?

Enough with your homer shit man. Hawks are much better than the Cavs as well when healthy. The Knicks will even beat them. Not to mention Miami. And Philly if they can get another star out of the Simmons trade.

Cavs won't make it out of the first round. You heard it here first.

[Mac4Lyfe]

I just googled, how many titles does Derozan and Levine have and the answer was ZERO.

i can’t seem to find one Bulls player with any deep playoff experience. Love has a ring. Hell Rubio won a Fiba championship.

The Bulls are no real threat to the Cavs. Allen, Mobley and Garland are the 1, 2 and 3 best players on the floor. Did you honestly mention Vucevic with a straight face? Did you not see Allen shit on him time after time the other night?

The good thing about this debate? One of us will be right.

So the team that beat the cavs this year when both teams were healthy by 30+ points is no threat to the cavs?

[Mac4Lyfe]

Demon - LAY OFF THE EGG NOG. That was the 1st game of PRESEASON. PRESEASON!!!

The Cavs have not been blown out all season. They were leading at half in damn near every game. They struggled down the stretch against good teams, losing in the end.
