2017 NBA Finals: Golden State Warriors vs Cleveland Cavaliers Discussion

[RetroVK]

View attachment 42703

Hard to compare those bulls, celtics and lakers teams to this modern day team given the elimination of the Center position in the NBA, but I think this years version of Golden State is as good as any of those teams.

 

[wizardofodd]

gotta love the pointless discussions regarding if the bulls could beat gsw...

 

[emkee]

Totally different eras, league now is focused on scoring and protecting the shooter.

Handcheck = Automatic foul. Basically the league now is 'pussified'.

Back in MJ's prime you'd get raped in the lane etc. Tougher league and you earned your points.

That being said, athletes over time have improved with all the sports science and shit.

Dubs are built to take full advantage of today's NBA.

Put both teams on a neutral and play by the 2017 rules, you'd take the Dubs

Back in the mid-90's on a neutral, you couldn't bet against MJ although KD would present a match-up nightmare.

It is pointless talk I agree.

Lang on the Warriors -6 for 100 Dimes...

 

[RetroVK]

This is the best defensive team in modern basketball the last few years, right?

I still think they compete with the lakers, celtics and bulls teams with these rules as emkee stated. But by the rules of the prior century, they couldn't.

 

[emkee]

Line opens 8.5 at Pinny, ruh-roe...

 

[B.A.R.]

And is going to do nothing but rise...

Game 7 -5? I'd put my house on that GS line if it went that far.

Game 7 -5? I'd put my house on that GS line if it went that far.

Obviously if it were to go to Game 7 we are talking about three straight wins for the Cavs/2 of which were as dogs...

We would see more of a 6 or 6.5 then imo but all the pressure would be squarely on the Dubs by then...

I mean, look at the 10.5 difference from Game 4 to Game 6 at Cleveland, lol.

 

[B.A.R.]

Game 7 -5? I'd put my house on that GS line if it went that far.

I am 10x more comfortable putting a max wager on -9 for Game 5 than -5 for Game 7...

 

[nbafan88]

Cavs were fortunate they had so many rest opportunities tonight with all the foul calls.

[emkee]

Cavs were fortunate they had so many rest opportunities tonight with all the foul calls.

The 22 FT attempts in the 1st quarter set the precedent, Dubs were never allowed to get a handle on this game.

And those lucky junk yet timely 3's the Cavs were hitting last night won't fall like that in the Bay.

5Dimes just shitting with folks.

Gonna get the conspiracists all riled up.

 

[emkee]

Cavs should never be favored in this series.

My line for Game 6 would be Cavs +2.5, +2 being the lowest it should go.

 

[emkee]

Tim Donaghy...

 

[wizardofodd]

Timmy D's like a poster at blankets IMO.

He will just take a dog with conspiracy and hope it hits only to say I told you so...

If it doesn't, no harm done

This. It makes no sense given who he is for him to say otherwise.

 

[emkee]

Heard a pair of tickets to tonight's game went for 133k.

No harm in a Game 5 for the Dubs' ownership at all.

 

[emkee]

Lang on the Cavs +8.5 for 60 dimes...

Those kind of prices don't bode well for a closeout tonight

Yes!!

 

[emkee]

Steve Nash finally gets a ring as well.
