Result:
LOSS

There is a huge gap between the top tier of the NBA and the bottom, and I don't think the this line shows that. LeBron James is a unique and talented player that can play any position, and he was inserted as the point guard in last night's game, that saw him score 34 points and hand out 13 assists. The Cavaliers' offense thrived, but the defense was awful and I'm sure they heard about it, so I expect a more concerted effort on that end tonight. Brooklyn plays no defense at all, allowing 122.5 points per game to start the season, and if they get into a game of trying to trade baskets with the offense of the Cavaliers, they are not going to stay in the game very long. Cleveland looks good with LeBron at the point and the offense is just too much for Brooklyn. Lay the points on Cleveland.
