Good. Stevens is good for at least a few bonehead plays a game, usually including fouling a guy taking a three.

This means Love and Markkanen are in together. Both can shoot 3s and both can post up. Who'll guard Scottie Barnes? That worries me. But Love will help keep Barnes off the offensive boards. He may get 15 rebounds tonight.

I assume Mobley will guard Siakim and Markkanen will guard Boucher. Garland on Van Vleet. Who's their shooting guard? I forget.

That means Stevens will come off the bench, probably to replace Okoro. Osman for Love, or maybe Markkanen, and Love replace Mobley at center? I hope not. Love and Markkanen didn't work out last game.

Line this morning is Cavs+ 5.5 O/U is 215 Money Line is Cavs +180 and Raptors -220

I like the Cavs to win +180 and the over.

Cavs are now +5.5 O/U is now 213 and the line stayed the same. Cavs +180

I like the +180 and over still.

One of my favorite centers of all time. He was a joy to watch. Kareem said he was one of the hardest players he ever played against. Very, very, active. Imagine Dennis Rodman being 6 10 and 250 with a good touch around the rim. I think he averaged 17 rpg and 22 ppg for his career.

Can't say I've had the pleasure of watching him, but I certainly know of him.

It all depends on if they're draining their three pointers or if they're struggling. The game will hinge on that.

Love and Lauri together sucks....

Is that some sort of gay joke? lol

No not at all. Both are negative defenders and they don't play well together.

Presenting Eastern conference rookie of the month award on March 24th seem odd? Unless some awards came out today that I don't know about

Will you get on your knees when they win?

They were a problem without Mobley defensively against LA at the start of the 4th quarter.

If Mobley is playing with them, I think our defense will be okay.

I put 500 on the Cavs +180 the money line, while the game is going on I'll check the live betting line, if they are giving the cavs +10 at any point (do to a run by the raptors) I'll double that bet. I feel like this will be a 2 to 3 point game at the end.

Ok when was the last game this big without LeBron on the team? When Shawn Kemp played for us?

Love played really well against Toronto last time these teams met (and Allen went down early).

Fred and OG didn't play in that game.
