Schule's NBA PRIMETIME PUNISHER *NYK@CLE* (Absolute Monster)
(NBA) New York vs. Cleveland, 10/30/2014 4:00 PM, Score: 95 - 90
Point Spread: -10.50 | -110.00 Cleveland (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 5* play on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After losing to the Bulls in their home opener by a score of 104-80, Kicks president Phil Jackson says his team is "not ready for showtime". They will be right back on the court tonight in Cleveland, and they will be a big underdog against LeBron and the Cavs. Cleveland is the favorite to win it all this year, and while I didn't pick them to win the title, I do think they will mop the floor with the Knicks in their home opener.

"Obviously now that the real games are getting started, we're going to find out," Blatt said. "I thought we showed in preseason that we're a pretty good, competitive group and we played some good teams. But there's a big difference between preseason and regular season for everyone."

The Cavs won five of their seven pre-season games, and one of those was a convincing 107-98 win over the Bulls, holding off Chicago in spite of 30 points from Derrick Rose. The home team is going to be all fired up tonight, looking to make a statement in front of a rowdy crowd.

I expect LeBron and company to put this one to bed early, and the Knicks should be overwhelmed here on the back end of a back to back.

Take CLE.
