Had a 61-44 first leg of the NBA season. Hit a pretty big slump during the end of January and took some time off from posting. I hope to be back for the duration of the regular season.
Cavs -10
The Cavs are a team who finished the first leg of the season strong with a couple quality wins in an uncertain situation. I was skeptical of how they would be able to function without Love but I wasn't giving enough credit to the veterans and leadership on the team.
The days off should have helped everybody but it will affect some teams and players more than others . One player that the break definitely helped mainly from a rest perspective is Lebron. He had a massive input of minutes during the first half of February and will have to continue to shoulder a huge load for the next five weeks in a tight playoff race. He's probably been the second best player this month other than Wall and his teams 7-1 while averaging almost 11 assist per game.
The Knicks are a team who Cleveland has owned in the past. They've been a big disappointment and right now really have nothing to hang there head on. The only reason their in the headlines is the whole Melo trade talk.
The Cavs go for the second straight season sweep and it's hard to see them not winning by a healthy double digit margin at home, where they own the second best record in the league. I expect a barrage of threes from Cleveland at a high percentage and the Knicks to not be competitive in this for the majority of the game.
