The biggest question the Cavaliers must answer on beginning the season is - how effective will the addition of veteran post man Shaquille O'Neil be? Will Shaq compliment LeBron James, the leagues best player. One thing Shaq has been fortunate in acquiring during his long career is championships - something LeBron is still looking for. Let's see if some chemistry can develop here between these two mega-stars.
Celtics backers should be overjoyed that forward Kevin Garnett will be returning to the fold healthy and hungry for another championship.
The Cavaliers are coming off a year (2008-09) where they went 66-16 SU and 49-33 ATS. The Celtics finished last season with a 62-20 record SU and were 43-39 ATS.
In their last five games the Cavaliers have played host to the Celtics, they have won all five SU and are 5-0 ATS. Cleveland is 8-1 ATS in its last
Nine games when playing Boston at home or on the road.
It will be raucous in Cleveland tonight. Look for the Cavaliers to enjoy a nice opening night by winning SU and getting by -5 ATS.
