Give me your thoughts on Cleveland please???

I have not even ran these numbers yet and I am already drooling at the Cavs line......

I have to think they owe their fans a great game and a resounding W after that embarrassing heartless and gutless performance to the Heat and its new star the former King of Cleveland.....and topped it all off with a winless road trip....that also failed to cover ATS.....

So my thinking here is that Cleveland will be due for one hell of a game.....or do you think they implode???

I think this game will tell us all where Clevelands mind set is and heart is.....Because If they have any life left in them at all the Bulls are in deep shit.....and I mean this seriously....

Thoughts???

I think I am personally going to chalk this game up as a "No Play" for me.  Being from Chicago the Bulls are the team I know most about in the NBA and my biggest gripe about them at this point is they are nowhere near their potential.  Everyone thinks they are going to be this force in the East, but they aren't yet and that worries me.  Granted Boozer just came back and is working his way into the system still.  But for my money, speaking about this game specifically - I would not be suprised to see the Cavs win or at least cover. 
This is more a comment about the Bulls not living up to their potential yet as opposed to how bad the Cavs are.  In fact, I was suprised early in the season how respectable the Cavs were starting the season.
For me it's a no play, but I would be leary of the Bulls still at this point.  They still play down to lesser competition instead of drop the hammer and go for the kill.  I truly feel this all changes after Jan 1st - I think that's when the pieces start to come together and they drop it into the next gear and seperate themselves in the division.

only way they can give the fans a show and have people still comming to the stadium for a game is a OVER the number..

score some points both ways and make it exciting for the home town fans.

The word on Cleveland talk radio today is that Byron Scott has lost this team, or maybe never even had them in the first place. Byron Scott was even quoted as saying that the Cavs players are "hearing" him, but not necessarily "listening" to him.

The Cavs players are not playing for their coach, plus they have no leader on this team. Every player on the team is a "follower"...i.e Mo Williams, Andy Varajeo, Jj Hickson, Boobie Gibson.

I don't see the Cavs playing out of this "funk" anytime soon. They have no heart, and were reminded of it immensely, the last time they stepped foot in Quicken Loans Arena.

CAVS WONT COVER

This is true.

JLB I love your picks, I am from Cleveland and the word back home is Cleveland is just lost. They let down their fans on national TV by buddyin up with Lebron and alot of the fans who cheered hard and attended games are jumping ship until they blow up the team and "rebuild."

With that being said the main article when I opened up ESPN is how Cleveland should be pissed at Dan Gilbert and not so much Lebron because he knew the team was basically garbage without Lebron. If this doesnt motivate the players to fight to the end then the team is hopeless.

My lean which doesnt mean anything is Bulls in a close one, but I am staying far far away from the sides in this one. The Cavs are in too fragile of a state right now and the Bulls are riding high.
