2-2 last night losing the juice. Warriors and Kings might have been the sloppiest game I've ever seen and the Pacers/Sixers was a lot faster paced than I would have expected. Moving on to tonight and some great games including the return of LBJ to Cleveland.

Cleveland Cavaliers -2 1st 6 Minutes ($220 to win $200)
Making this one a 2 unit play for a number of reasons. 1. I don't think there has EVER been a more anticipated return of a player in sports history. Not just NBA history...but all of sports. 2. The Knicks played last night against Chicago...one of the most physical teams in the league, and they got shredded. 3. The Knicks don't have the defensive talent to stop any of the big guys for the Cavs. Irving, LeBron, and Love should all be able to do pretty much what they want. The reason why I'm staying away from anything more than the first 6 minutes is that I do believe it will be a learning curve for these guys to get used to their new roles. For the beginning of the game however, it's just pure emotion.

Cleveland Cavaliers TT UNDER 108.5 ($110 to win $100)
Like I just said up above, there is going to be a definite learning curve for Irving, James, and Love. How much of a role is Waiters going to play? How much of a role is Varejeo and Thompson and the others going to play? Is the "Big 3" expected to put up all the points? What type of offense is David Blatt going to go with? He can have a half court offense and run it through LeBron in the post with a triangle variant that would be great...or they can just run everyone out of the building. Too many questions...and on a team's first game of the year I find it really hard to give them 110 points or more. Prediction: Cavaliers 103 Knicks 92

Some thoughts about LeBron and the Cavs after watching that first game....
There is going to be a ton of over-reactions coming in from all different angles after this one but it's all premature. The Cavs will be fine overall. LeBron just tried to appease his teammates too much in this one. That caused the turnovers and bad shot attempts. When he is more selfish and dominant on offense they will be much better...easy kick outs to Love for 3 and drives by Kyrie.
