538 doesn't know that Lebron, Kyrie and 13 Larry Sanders clones would have a better shot at a title than us.

It's a broken / useless model if that's the garbage that it's spitting out.

Time for 538 to go back and check their math because in this case, they are dead wrong.

They recently lost to a bunch of teams that they were heavy favorites against; it set them back quite a bit

What is chip?

BTW Cavs are destroying the Pistons right now and Love is expected back possibly for their upcoming road trip per Cleveland.com

It's a model that can't know the Cavs don't take the regular season seriously.  I don't know if/how it factors Love's injury.  The Cavs have been playing like garbage recently (tonight notwithstanding) and there's an old saying about data models: "Garbage in, garbage out."

Earlier today the Celts were 6%.

The odds of Cleveland getting the #1 seed jumped significantly, too. It must be due to the results of tonight's game.
