YTD: 77-69 +7.7 units (0-1 last night on brutal backdoor cover by Orlando)
4* 0-1
3* 2-0
2* 9-3
1* 66-65
NBA 71-64
College 6-5
2* Cavs -8
As I stated in the headline, I'm 11-2 on plays 2* and higher in the NBA this year (two of my 2* losses were in college) and I put out strong plays only sparingly. This is one. Cleveland was in a bad slump for three weeks but have come out of it. They annihilated Milwaukee last Saturday and then won decisively on the road Monday in Orlando. They now have two days of rest and are at home. Cleveland is still playing to cinch a playoff berth and remains only 2 1/2 games ahead of the Nets for the final Eastern slot. Cleveland has two road games in a row after tonight's game and knows this is the one they must win or risk blowing a playoff spot. I see high motivation here. The Knicks have no motivation and have lost 10 their last 11 SU! New York is playing no defense and has given up over 100 four games in a row. LeBron's best games are against teams that apply only token defensive pressure. In an important home game for the Cavs, I predict a rout.
