First bold is FYP, second is "lol". 95% is super generous to the Cs if anything. 70% was pretty fair, though it looked pretty off based on what transpired. Cavs outscored the Cs.
I expect the Cs to regress some, and theirs a strong injury risk this season due to age and Perk's ever ailing shoulder. The combined improvements of Rondo, Powe, etc will help counter them somewhat, but I don't expect quite the same dominance, as the East has improved.
and fwiw, I'd be somewhat hesitant about taking this bet for the Lakers. Cs I feel fine about it, though.
