New York Knicks vs. Cleveland CavaliersWebsite Gambling Article by - Mike Rose - Nov 2, 2007 Brought to you by Who2beton.com The 2007-08 NBA season begins tonight for the NY Knicks as they invade the Quicken Loans Arena to take on Lebron and the Cavs who opened up their season on Wednesday night at home vs. Dallas. The Cavaliers went on to compete for the NBA Championship vs. San Antonio last year, but the Knicks fell short of the #8 seed in the second season on the last day of last years regular season schedule. Each club returns a bulk of last year’s team. NY returns Jamal Crawford and Stephon Marbury at the guard positions with big man Eddie Curry in the middle. SF Quentin Richardson, otherwise known as “Q”, looks to bounce back from last years nightmare season that saw him on the IR for a bulk of the season. Looking to compete for points in the paint will be Power Forward Zach Randolph who could be the missing ingredient in getting this offense more consistent. Their bench is very deep and will definitely contribute to the Knicks finally reaching the post-season this year… As for the Cavs, not much has changed. King Lebron is back as the leader of this club, and his marry band of misfits return fully intact. Ilgauskas is back in the middle and Drew Gooden is back at the PF position. The Cavs front office is hoping to get more from SG Larry Hughes this season in terms of staying healthy. His absence played a crucial role in molding some of their newer faces a year ago, and the club is excited to see how the guys mesh now that they’re all 100%. PG Daniel Gibson hopes to prove his coming out party in the post-season wasn’t fiction…. These clubs split their four meetings last season with each team picking up a win on their opponents court. In their two games at Cleveland last year, the Knicks won SU as 9.5-point road dogs and lost in humiliating fashion 90-68 as 10-point underdogs. Oddsmakers opened the Cavaliers up as 6.5-point home chalks for this match-up with the ‘Total’ set at 186’. Will Lebron and the Cavs bounce back from their despicable opening night home loss to Dallas, or will the upstart Knicks hand them their second loss of the season. Tune in at 7:35 ET to find out….
