so I am assuming you mortgaged your house to place a bet on warriors -240 to win the championship since you are so confident they will win?
Clev, any team with Lebron fetching 2-1 is great value. I hate Lebron, one of my least admired athletes ever, but he is still the best player in the nba. The guys a total pos, a phony, narcissist, a cowardly flopper. I hope GS sweeps them, but as a gambler, you got to look at the numbers without emotion. Side note, I am very much looking forward to Tyrone Lue fucking up this series cause you know, he s Lebrons choice as coach.
Far as respect, its hard to play the card when you have the coach of the year, and every single voter thought that curry was the mvp of the nba my man. Clev is going to go small ball with the team that invented it? Yeah.
everybody looking at the OKC and Golden State series and see how gs struggled against OKC but they fail to realize that Cleveland does not have the offense or big men as okc who is the number one rebounding team in the NBA this year for that matter.
Can Irving and love perform on grand stage to consider big 3? We shall see.

OKC leads Cle in all 3 main categories on offense: Pt (2 vs 8), FG (.476 vs. .460) , and pt differential (7.3 vs. 6).
When you play against tougher competition all year and still have better offensive stats, hard for me to justify Cle is better than OKC.

I believe the Cavs will win the title...just not sure if I should place a series bet before or after game 1. If the Cavs win Game 1, they'll probably fall to +115 or so for the series. If they lose Game 1, they'll jump up to +260, possibly higher.
Think the Cavs are in much better shape than they were a year ago. If they stay healthy, they win it all IMO.

hno:, not regular season.As expected, the Cavs showed that they match up worse vs GSW with Love and Kyrie in the lineup. For those of y'all still not convinced after watching Gm1 (as well as the 2 regular season games), here are more words and videos from professional writers:

One thing that surprised me was Channing Frye's stat line: 0-1, 7 minutes. I thought he may be a reason of optimism for Cavs fans since he wasn't on the team for all of the previous matchups and was seemingly acquired for THIS particular matchup but Kerr went small every time he checked into the game and Lue wanted no part of that.
It's just one game, I know, but it sure ain't looking good for Cleveland. The NBA still has Scott Foster in their back pocket and we all know he's past due for an assignment. Plus there's still the potential for Draymond to miss a game (or two) if he does something stupid. And if you're a conspiracy theorist, Nike (Lebron's real team for life) may flex their muscle at some point... but I dunno. Maybe Cleveland backers can point out some reasons for optimisim on their end because I sure can't see any reasons (on the court).

Gotta check that one my man, don't know if you men saw these tidbits, WITH Thompson and Curry in the game, Dubs outscored the Cavs by 1. W/O the the Splash Brothers, Dubs win by 14. Caveat to this is after loosing Game 1 of any playoff series, the King is 9-0 in Game 2. LottaL to all in Game 2.
