So this is it, Andrew Bogut finally decided where he wants to go and chose Cleveland Cavaliers. After Deron Williams which came from the Mavs, Bogut follows but not a direct trade to Cavs since he was first traded to Philadelphia 76ers for Nerlens Noel and did some talks with the team so that he can landed to a contender team.

Well for me, Bogut is a great addition for the Center spot at the Cavaliers since we all know that their big man is not that consistent. Just make sure Bogut will come healthy till the end since he is an injury proned player and his dissapperance will give a big hole for the Cavs.

It is a good addition although I'm not sure if he'll get some playing time in the playoffs/finals once Kevin Love comes back. The Cavs are a little thin in their frontcourt without him and Andersen but I can't see Bogut and Kevin Love at the same time. Also Bogut next to Tristan Thompson looks ugly as hell in my opinion, 0 offensive threat from those two.

But he can certainly help with his rim protection and passing abilities for now. I don't see him playing more than 10-15 minutes and even playing those minutes it could be a risk since he's too injury prone. Deron Williams on the other hand is a much needed backup PG that could even end up being a starter if he plays well enough (or at least be on court at the end of games), especially with JR Smith out.

Quite agree as Bogut and Thompson is really not that on action in terms of offensive plays. But Cavaliers can rely on them on defensive phase as this was their specialty and line since they entered the league.

Im expecting Kevin Love to be more productive if ever they will entered the finals again. Last finals, I considered him as a nervous players just like James Harden when Oklahoma City Thunders reached finals for the first time.

Remaining games for the Cavaliers will be it's training ground to test some mixed plays and to adapt the playing style of new additional players in their roster.

Let us not count out the possibility of the Cleveland Cavaliers being upset by the Boston Celtics in the East Finals, assuming that these two teams make it all the way there. Although the group of the Celtics which is led by the phenomenal Isaiah Thomas is still lacking substantial playoff experience (compared to the Cavs), they can still put up a very good fight. What’s more scary is Boston’s future because they have a lot of assets that they can use to further improve on their line up and fill the holes that they currently have.

That's what I'm thinking also, if the Boston Celtics will reach the Finals, it is already a great achievement of the team and that will give them the confidence which will make them scary for the seasons to come. Honestly, they surprise me this year, I thought it was the Bulls who will be the rival of Cleveland Cavaliers this season but Celtics just cross the line and they want compete with the champs.
Tonight's game was really good to see, I enjoyed watching it together with my son who also love basketball.

I was also impressed on how Boston Celtics played against Cleveland Cavaliers.
Boston's win overshadowed the seventh triple-double of the season for James.
Deron Williams had a chance to to be the hero in his Cavaliers debut but guess
its not his night. With this win against the Cavaliers, Boston has now a better
chance to be the top team in the East With Kevin Love and J.R. Smith still
unavailable to the defending champions and they are just 3 games behind the
Cavaliers.

Boston played great and their homecourt is very hostile. However don't forget Cleveland is missing both starters in Kevin Love and JR Smith, two prolific 3pt shooters (last night the Cavs had a terrible night of 3pt shooting). Boston won fair & square, the problem I saw on the Cavs side is that Lue played both D-Will down the stretch. Jefferson played great the minutes he was on court but he didn't play one minute of the last quarter. Derrick Williams is having a great run and all but he's still new, he's not the first option to be on the floor in the final minutes in my opinion. And Deron Williams could eventually close out games but not in his first one!

That was very unwise from Lue and that is what costed the game for the Cavs in my opinion.

It's fine whatever rank will Cleveland Cavaliers landed since when the playoffs started, all teams will be 0-0. Im agree that Boston Celtics can be an East contender and maybe a finals contender since surely they can keep up with the teams that will take the spot from 5th to 8th.

The only teams I see that will take the East crowned are Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors. Yes other team/s like Washington Wizards can be a candidate too but still they didn't entered in my own analyzation being a standard bearer for the East.

Tonight's Cavaliers vs Celtics match up is interesting. Cavs are without Love, JR. Smith and the new addition Andrew Bogut while Celtics are without Gerald Green. It is happening at TD Garden( Celtics Home) and they are bookmarkers favorites as of now but only slight. Head 2 Head, Cavs have won the previous 2 meetings this season but the games were close. I predict that Celtics take this one at 1.83x.

They are already on the third quarter and Celtics has a lead of 3 points with the score of 74-71. And I don't know why Cavs is doing this things and keep on getting new players, aren't they good enough and they still need to get Bogut for their next games? I don't understand, still whatever they do they lost to GSW.

I guess they are competing to the good line up of GSW or rather preparing a team versus a team like GSW whom they are saying super team.

The players they have recently got is solely to improve the bench which isn't that great honestly. Deron Williams would cut it as starter for a lot of teams and he's the backup PG for Cavs now. Cavs also lacked a big man as I don't see a decent one other than the starter, Tristan Thompson. Bogut will bring the much welcomed additional height to the team for rebounds and a good bench player as well. I think these were really good acquisitions and could be Championship winning move.

well maybe a lots of adjustment still needed as the season now is getting closer to the play off the point of getting new players is good to math up with the western team cavs needed to make good blending of their newly hired members, i lost my bet considering lebron and irving are really trying to win that match but home court advantage really place the win for Celtics.

The absence of Kevin love is a big factor, with Love, the cavaliers can help them to win and probably can take a win even playing at Celtics home.
Also, I am quite hesitant to bet on the line because based on my experience, when cavaliers are not heavy favorites, they lost most of the time.
Anyway, too much excuses from me, I have to give credit to the Celtics who is the hottest team right now in the east, they are getting better every season.

That was a thrilling game and Celtics won. Again, it was the little man Isaiah Thomas who is making this team a threat now and I'm glad they won the game because I was able to take them live with 3.20 odds in the fourth quarter.

Next bet will be on the Clippers -2.5, I have a feeling this is my day and I will stop with a great profit. lol

I want that game go to Celtics and it did happened. I'm waiting for the social media people about bashing Cavs, I don't know why they got a lot of bashers throughout the web. But they did lose because they're team has lesser force for this match. I guess you will really have a very good day with those match, good luck to your bet.
