10* NBA Game of the Week - RED HOT!
(NBA) Cleveland vs. Atlanta,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -107.00 Cleveland (Away)
Result: Loss
The Cavs made some changes and now this team is deep and looks for real. Now I won't talk about Cleveland's LBJ, Irving and Love, as enough has been said, especially regarding James, the league's best player, if not this year's NBA. Cleveland's acquired J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert from the New York Knicks to provide additional scoring (Smith) and perimeter defense (Shumpert) plus has bulked up on the inside by picking up the 7-1 Timofey Mozgov from Denver and just recently signing the 6-10 Kendrick Perkins. They can go BIG or they can go with SPEED. Yes, the Hawks own the league's best record but note that since falling below .500 back on Jan 13 (19-20), Cleveland has been the best team in the league since mid-January, going 20-4 SU and 18-6 ATS. Atlanta has taken 2 of 3 in this series this season so I look for Cleveland to set an example here on Friday night. Look for LeBron, Irving and Love to come up big!
