Picking Cavaliers Over Spurs
Both the Cavs and Spurs, who are usually among the top teams in the NBA, have been struggling lately as they head in to this match up. The Cavs are 1-5 in their last 6 with 4 of those 5 losses by double digits. The Cavs have been struggling so much that there has even been mumblings about Tyronn Lue getting fired. Spurs on the other hand are 2-4 in their last 6 and their usual home dominance was challenged by an 8 point loss to the Pacers in their last home game. Spurs will not have Pau Gasol for this game.
I think I'll go with the team more desperate for a win.
My pick is the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Spurs up 63-55 at the half. That's what I get for picking a dysfunctional team. SMH.
Cavs should just give up. Down by 11pts with about 2 minutes left. It's over.
Spurs won 114-102 (Final). Cavs are now 1-6 in their last 7 with 5 of thoses losses by double digits.
