Game: Charlotte Bobcats at Cleveland Cavaliers Oct 31 2009 7:35PM
Prediction: Cleveland Cavaliers
Reason: I’m laying the points with the Cavaliers on Saturday. I had both of these teams last night, and cashed a 2-0 card. The Cavs rolled the T-Wolves, but we had to sweat the Bobcats as they blew an 18-point fourth quarter lead, before winning by a basket in double-OT, covering by half a point. But the Bobcats have suffered a shooting-freeze in each of their first two games.

They were hanging around the number in the first half against the Celtics, but didn’t score their first points of the second half until the third quarter was more than halfway over. Charlotte finished the game with 59 points. Last night the Bobcats jumped out to a 32-13 lead at the end of the first quarter. And as I mentioned, led the hapless Knicks by 18 in the fourth. Charlotte completely collapsed on the offensive end again, scoring a grand total of 13 points in the final quarter. Charlotte has made just 58 of 166 shots in two games, a 34.9% rate. That includes a rotten, 3 of 28, 10.7% mark from behind the arc. They have also committed 33 turnovers with just 28 assists. And this team was thinking about a postseason run just a week ago? The Cavs bounced back and picked up their first win of the season against two defeats. They had no trouble with the T-Wolves and I suspect they’ll handle most of the “scrub” teams on their schedule. Charlotte fits that bill, and I’ll lay it with the Cavaliers once again. Thanks! GL! Scott.
