Who do the Cavs want to play in the first round?

[seaborneq]

Hawks have nothing for Mobley. The Hawks want to play the Knicks in the first round

Don’t mind either opponent — would probably lean Raptors. They seem to be going the wrong way . Though agree about Mobley

Cavs probably cooked in the big picture though

Can’t see them beating Boston

It doesn't matter who they play but if I'm Cleveland I don't want to see Atlanta because that team is red hot and they're a team that is very good defensively. I think I'd rather face Toronto although either team will be a tough out. Cleveland can make ECF but I'm not sure they can win the East even though I think it's wide open.

Nobody in the East has anything for Mobley, but Cleveland will still play through Harden and Mitchell and lose a series they can easily win. Mobley needs to take 20+shots per game in the playoffs. The offense needs to run through him.

agreed a mistake to got thru Harden. In other news Cade Cunningham returns tonight from an 11 game absence. Might come down to Boston and Detroit if Cade is healthy?

I didn’t know Cunningham was coming back before the playoffs. Cleveland thinks they want Detroit in the second round. Detroit will physically impose their will on Cleveland. Duran is the only player with the horsepower to hang with Mobley. Mobley will take him outside and leave the post wide open.

DET+550 to win East. BOS +155. interesting. CLEV +350

Boston can be had if you have a Duran or Mobley. They are a donut with a hole in the middle. Nothing but stiffs in the front court.

then in your opinion DET/CLEV Have good value at those odds? In addition DET has home court not that means a whole lot to BOS.

Yes. Detroit would have homecourt advantage but JB and Tatum would wear Cunningham down over a series. Duran would have to average 25-15 to win that series. Cleveland has nothing for JB and Tatum, but if they played tough through Mobley 30-12 they could beat Boston but wouldn’t have home court. Boston shoots too many 3’s to bet on them to come out of the East with zero front court.

^THX for the take. I would probably Play DET +550 if I was going to play it but will most likely hold off. GL.

Tend to agree that Detroit isn't going to be some pushover

They're tough and physical

Really hate that Harden is on the Cavs lol

That move closed the championship window. Garland would have kept the window open a little longer. Harden closed it immediately

Doesn't matter Cavs gonna run through the east like shit through a tin horn.
