Cavs are now 4-1 in road games so far. A mark of a champion is one that can win on the road. Most likely the Cavs will not have the 7th game at home over the next 2 series.
Z had a great 10 ft shot. Mozgov doesn't have an outside game.

If Atlanta is hitting 3's like they are tonight, they will beat Cleveland. I wouldn't be so cocky about this series.

They've cooled off a bit but are still up 10.

And other than yesterday has cleveland even hit 8 3's against the Bulls? I seriously don't know but it doesn't seem like it.

Now that I look, only a couple times they didn't and that's when they lost.

If John wall is going to be close to a triple double I rather play the Hawks.

Was trying to find the series odds but not listed yet. My guess is that the Cavs will be a heavy favorite somewhere along the line of 2.5 to 1. The odds for game one is posted and is rated a pick.

Cavs will win it in 6.

So might be smart to bet against them? It would be a win/win!

All in on the reverse jinx. Bet against them while hoping they win.

What that means is in Vegas, if you want to bet on Cleveland, then you have to bet $21.50 to win 10 bucks. Cavs win the seroes you win 10 dollars. If the Hawks win, you lose $21.50.

Conversely, if you want to bet on the Hawks to win the series, then you risk betting 10 dollars. If the Hawks upset the Cavs, then you would win $18.70.

So...in a nutshell, the odds makers are saying that the Cavs would win 2/3 7 game series if they kept playing them.

This is all I've seen.
Kyrie Irving's knee is the biggest concern out of any of his injuries, and his Game 1 status remains up in the air.

Irving has been dealing with tendinitis for "several weeks," and he aggravated it on Thursday. "We sat Ky out and he's going through a lot of treatment and we're monitoring and just hoping that he progresses from here until game time," David Blatt said. The coach couldn't guarantee Irving would play in Game 1 vs. the Hawks on Wednesday.

Also...
​LeBron James is dealing with a minor back injury, but he's expected to play Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
LeBron apparently "tweaked his back" at some point against the Bulls, but since he's a cyborg robot with no ability to feel human pain, we don't expect any issues. In all sincerity, LeBron will be fine and is prepared to put the Cavs on his back in an effort to win Cleveland an elusive championship trophy.

Updating a previous item, Kyrie Irving (knee) went through practice on Monday and vowed to play in Game 1.

Coach David Blatt said he was "encouraged" by Kyrie's participation, and this is a much more optimistic take ahead of Wednesday's Game 1 than was being presented at any point over the weekend. We expect Irving to be in his usual place in the starting lineup, but he won't be 100 percent healthy.

I haven't been concerned about Kyrie playing. I wouldn't be surprised if he feels a lot better than he did all of the Bulls series. Just seems to be a lot of smoke screens coming from the Cavaliers' camp.

11 out of 12 playoff winners had home court advantage. A tall order for the Cavs who will play game 7's on the road.

Cabs will win in 3. Horford has never won anything in his life.
