2-1 posted plays
(I lost on the Blazers who gave up 40 to the Stones in the 4th qtr the other night while contributing 11 themselves after leading by 13 going into the last quarter.....(puke, puke, puke)
What an ugly game to talk about here. No wonder words haven't been spoken about this gm in these threads today.
Utah has been at home since beating the Grizz on Saturday night sleeping in their own beds, screwing their wives and girlfriends and feeling REALLY good about themselves, as they should. This Utah team is 3-1 on the road, losing their season opener on the road against the up-start Pistons as a slight fav (-2)...After their mini vaca, they then had to take a flight to Cleveland Ohio. I would rather walk on nails then go to Cleveland Ohio for anything, much less play against LeBron and Co.
But look a little deeper and those road wins are against the (cough-cough) Sixers, Pacers and Nuggets...Not exactly world beaters. Hell, not exactly bball teams.
We have a line tonight of Cleveland -6 because the season is young and the books aren't yet prepared for tms such as the Jazz, Pistons and T-Wolves. Cleveland is 7-1 but only have a margin of victory at home of 7.5. So the books are looking at Utah and their road wins vs the Cavs and their home wins and set the # lower than average margin of victory for the Cavs. Hmmmm....why?
I can't answer that. What I can answer is the fact Cleveland won't take this Jazz tm lightly. They can't. If they do, they'll lose SU.
LeBron is the x factor here. He is the King of Kings (sorry Triple-H)...he knows this isn't a gimme game. I see a regression to the means tonight for Utah and their road victory's. Cleveland had an off day yesterday and have only played one b2b, and that was opening night and the day after. They've played every other day since then. They're comfortable, rested. And get this. They've been at home since Nov 3rd. Screwing their wives and whoever else is in their black books, sleeping in their beds, eating out of their fridges, playing w/ their children AND MOST IMPORTANTLY....practicing in their own gym.
Give me Cleveland in a blow out tonight.....
