Thinking it'll be the Cavaliers in six games. Tough series, but we'll prevail.

I can’t believe we have to wait until Saturday


Gahhhhhhhhh

Especially after these last two JV games, I am FIENDING to watch the Cavs play.

It’s been such an enjoyable year and waiting for almost a week is not cool.

I guess it’s better then doing the Tankathon Mock Simulator 179 a day from Easter through Late June.

You cannot let Robinson get offensive boards. Got to box out.

We have to get Mobley involved offensively. Two games against the Knicks he had less than 10 attempts and we lost.

But we got motivated Donovan and this team wants to win badly. Let’s do it!

Saturday can’t come sooner enough

What's the betting line looking like for this series?

Fanduel: Series Odds Cavs -260; Knicks +180 - Game One spread Cavs -6, -250 money line
Draftkings: Series Odds Cavs -200; Knicks +160 - Game One spread Cavs -6, -240 money line

Smallest odds to win the series of those posted so far. Next closest is Golden State at -290 to beat Sacramento (+225) on DK

Thank you. I figured it would be Cavs in 5.5 or 6 games.

I could see Mobley having a coming out party in these playoffs. It feels like he’s right there about to show the world what he can do.

Im actually calling for the brooms to come out. But I voted Cavs in 5 giving Jalen Brunson a career game before he fades to irrelevance after this season.

Same here, although I want Mitchell to wreck MSG. They are scared shitless of him, and they should be.

I think the Cavs will play the Knicks
