Had too take the Cavs again, by formula and by refs.
Cavs finally got over the 'beating the Dubs' hump. If the Dubs took Game 3 off, losing by 30 is counter-productive.
Beginning to respect the defense Cleveland is playing on Curry and Klay, 3 games in it's more than a coincidence.
Could be argued the Dubs were fortunate their role players stepped up at home.
Curry's Dubs 1-5 SU off a 25+ point loss.
LeCramps 20-2 SU last 22 playoff games officiated by Danny Crawford (15-0 SU last 15).

Gotta keep an open mind obviously, what we're seeing in this season's playoffs is crazy.

Lue must have given a great halftime speech, Bron-Bron played like a mitch. Thompson was the only Cav that wanted to win.
Dubs ramped up the defense whereas the Cavs ramped it down.
Don't think Game 3 was an aberration, Cavs could have won last night. It is what it is.
Refs must read the boards because Foster and Danny Crawford both gave Cramps nada in this series when they normally would.
Big play in Game 5.

Yep, the 15-0 stat for LBJ under Crawford was all over Twitter and we know the refs actually read that shit.
That being said Scurry is better for the league than LeBron.
Can only hope KD moves East to at least attempt to stop LeFail from another Finals embarrassment.

LeCramps has never had much competition in the East - 6 straight finals more due to the fact the East is and has been awful. Love watching his teams get toasted in the finals - spurs meltdown a few years ago doesnt happen and the guy would be 1-6 right now.

Playoffs: 27-23 (+13.96)
Cleveland Cavaliers at Golden State Warriors
The play...
Cavaliers +6 (2 units)
Had Dray played I'd have laid double-digits with the Dubs in this game but I'm predominantly a numbers guy,
And the numbers say Green is vital to this team in so many ways, the downgrade to the Dubs points/possessions is huge.
They basically become the Sixers via those numbers for the periods he isn't on the floor.
Dude is the glue of this team holding everything down.
Forced to play the points with LeSnitch.
Speaking of LeSnitch, dude had his manhood questioned - rightly so but if he fucks this game up he will be burned for eternity.
Win or lose, comfortable with my selection.

Trusting the numbers, the much better team rarely if ever drops it's 2nd opportunity to close-out.
Forced to play the Dubs.
Of the 32 times a team has been down 3-1, only 2 have forced a Game 7. Happened in 1951 and 1966, so it's been awhile.
Was always gonna take the Dubs in the final 2 games either way with a double-up/triple-up in Game 7,
Highly doubt it makes it back to the Bay though.
In Game 5 the Cavs' defense still looked like shit, Dubs were just guilty of missing a ton of open looks.
Also unlikely that Cramps and Kyrie shoot that well again.
From the Washington Post...
In Game 5 against the Cavs, the Warriors created 19 wide-open three-point shots, 21.6 percent of their total attempts...
By the end of the game, the Warriors were 4 of 19 on wide-open three-point shots alone, a woeful 21.1 percent success rate.
We would expect this kind of performance or worse from Golden State once every 24 games,
and it just so happened to occur in their 22nd game of the playoffs.
With this clunker out of the way, and Green set to return, the Cavaliers’ luck is about to run out.
Green back is obviously massive both ways for the Dubs.
Refs suck but Scotty was present in last seasons Game 6 in Cleveland.

Have learnt to always take the points on offer in this league, even more-so when it's a small spread.

Would be fitting tonight if the 'Splash Bros' returned serve and dropped 40+ each on the Cavs home floor.
Betting % propaganda says the Dubs are getting the money,
But one of the 'squarest' playoff bets in the books is taking the home fave off an away dog win,
Especially a short home fave.
We shall see. History is on our side amongst other things.
Very comfortable with the selection.

Playoffs: 28-24 (+12.81)
Cleveland Cavaliers at Golden State Warriors
The play...
Warriors ML -175 (6.4 to win 3.64)
No secrets here.
Taking the Dubs straight-up for half my playoff booty.
Anything under -200 is a steal.
Best team over the last 20 years in 1 game at home to win it all and validate themselves as one of the greats.
Will add more random thoughts as we move towards tip-off.

opcorn:I know the refs receive lots of "guidance" from the league, and simply have to believe that they don't want the storyline of this NBA finals being the suspension of Draymond game 5 and the fix that was game 6 costing the "greatest team in the history of their sport" the Championship

Could definitely see that, Dwight.
Either way the league generated one of the most talked about and debated Finals Game 7's in quite some fucking time.
Kudos to them, now let's have the best team win with no interventions.
Series is set up for the Dubs to go HAM, most maligned great team of our generation.

Debated laying the -5 or thereabouts, last 3 Finals Game 7's have an average MOV of around 6 points.
Do think the Dubs roll, this season's playoffs have been all about the blowout.
But if I'm going to go large, I'll eliminate some of the risk and take all the benefits of playing the home team in a Game 7.
