Finals Discussion - Cleveland / Golden State

Yeah, 1 game at least, 2 at the most.

Dubs could beat this team by 20+ in 4 straight but they'll pick their spots and close it out in the Bay.

Local throwing out -1200

-12/216 GM1

If Dubs are interested all 48 mins, they can get to 115-120 fairly easily, can Cavs hit their shots in Oracle? Initial lean is Over.

Lebron has to be gassed too..

I have a small 2 dollar futures ticket from the beginning of playoffs for Cavs Winning it all at +650.
 
Just a quick question regarding Game 7 as I was watching on my phone with a bad connection.
It seemed to me Curry brought them back and only then with the lead KDs game/scoring improved.
... But I might have missed stuff.
 
No Fing way Cavs win this.... then again, I have seen the No Fing way thing happen a lot in my lifetime, but still... cant see this series going longer than 6 MAX.

Curry & Durant combined for 24 in the 3rd I believe. But you’re right, Curry was the catalyst
 
i mean the cavs couldnt hit shit in any game on the road Vs the celtics... clarkson stinks Hood is gone from rotation... Thompson is just a board cleaner..... i mean can love green JR korver get hot for a game.... i guess anything possible but from what i have seen from clev this whole playoffs its tough to see how they win a game even if the dubs sleep walk thru multiple halfs at a team in games.... the only series they looked good was against Tor and that was more of Tor just realizing Lebron is there daddy
 
Lebron vs 3 superstars and draymond.


I wish lebron could win but unless curry or Durant get injured cavs have no chance.

Unless jr smith and Korver can outplay Thompson.

Jr smith kirver would have to get 30 points combined I believe.
 
I was just putting that for both a perspective issue and for people looking at potential props etc in this match up.

Bron looked gas and was taking plays off in the Boston series. I threw that pic cause he gonna be taking another L this June.

Two major points that keeps coming into my head about this series is how hard will the Dubs play and how interested will they be throughout the series. They can make it a sweep but I doubt NBA going to want that. At the same time, after that Houston series, we all know, plus they themselves know that there’s a switch or a gear they kick on & they become a machine gun thus running the other team out the gym.
 
Dubs spotted the #1 seeded team points in the first 2 quarters of a Game 7 on the road and won. Injuries or not, that's a feat in itself.

Nothing to see here in June, there's a reason the Dubs are the most heavily favored finalist in 10+ years.

Cramps dragging that band of assholes this far was his 'legacy 'ship', no pressure on him to win this last dance at all.
 
Lbh, the offseason is gonna be more fun than the Finals.

Shitty 4-peat of Dubs v Crabs.

Only Finals I'd have liked to see from an entertainment standpoint would have been a Kyrie led healthy Celtics v GS. No other team in the LEAST worth shit.

I swear the Kyrie trade upset the balance this season and made it a weird year.

This Finals match-up is all about the opportunity to make money, not looking to be entertained.

Scott Foster and his cohorts will try to make it competitive though.

Over in 5 games but could easily be a very uncompetitive sweep.
 
Cramps has not been a double-digit underdog since that 2005/06 Round 2 series vs the Pistons.

Lost that series in 7 but went 5-2 ATS.

The good old days when defense ruled, some low scoring smash 'em up games back then.

The firepower he's facing in this series compared to that series is light years apart.

Agree at -900 it’s a gift.

Simply start your car drive to your bank.

Withdraw $9000 and lay it on warriors to win series

Wait patiently 7-10 days and then advance to Go to collect the easiest $1000 you have seen since 1350 AD.
 
In my opinion the only way the cavs can win is if they turn this game into Brooklyn style UFC street ball.
I simply don’t see any other way. Perhaps a Kobe style scrap and suspension like they did to Steve Nash during the Lakers suns is a good move.

Get Jeff green to scrap One of the warriors stars And hope for suspensions.
They would have to play physical to win.

This is like playing a high tempo college football team like Clemson. So many weapons but to defeat them you have to win the line of scrimmage with physicality.
To beat the warriors you must put muscle them.

Jeff Green??? Kendrick Perkins was made for what you're describing.
 
Assuming that Love is a no-show, this is the weakest supporting cast that LBJ has had over this stretch of 4 Finals meetings between these 2 teams. His only success through the previous 3 came with Kyrie going off: who is there to substitute for playing Kyrie's role? No-one, right? The only thing that will make for a competitive series will be (can be) nefarious manipulations from various quarters.

My focus will be on the totals. CLE paid out on 5 Unders in 7 games & GS on 6 Unders in 7 in the Conference finals. 11 of 14/78.5% rate is strong conditioning over an extended period of time (2 1/2 weeks) to scare people off backing a lot of points being scored. I expect 1 of the first 3 games to top 220-230 pts, a 'defense-free' zone. The fact the line for G1 is 214.5 when CLE's highest scoring game against BOS totaled 213 pts, and the fact that these 2 teams only totaled 191 pts the last time they played @the Oracle Arena indicates as much to me. IMO g1 and g2 will not both pay out on FG & 2h Unders (4-0). Through those 4 options will reside at minimum 1 Over result. I'm up for the chase.
