Even with Kyrie out I still think Cavs are a better team. These two teams are going in opposite directions. Hawks have failed to impress me in the POs so far. They just don't seem like their regular season team. Carroll is out and KK has been MIA. These are things you can't fix mid-series. Cavs meanwhile have shown improvement. TT and TM are more than capable of hangin with Horford and Millsap inside. MD is shining in Kyrie's absence. Then we have the two throw always from the Knicks. Not a JR fan but he's playing with a chip on his shoulder. Shumpert is a solid defender and now contributing defensively. If this was round 1 yes I would come back and play the Hawks to get it to 1-1. Not in the conference finals where teams separate themselves and have shown us if they are capable of contending or not. Cavs are going to finals and will make short work of the Hawks. Also, lots of love for Atl tonight. Hardly see anybody backing Cle especially with Kyrie out? I don't mind being on an island by myself with this lonely play. Sprinkle a small amount on the ML +140 as well. Main play...
Cavs +3
Good luck fellas!
