The Warriors are the best team ever*. The Cavs have the best player ever in a game where that's a big deal. Game on.

The only problem I see the Warriors having is that they have worse squad depth than last year. Its the only thing that I can see going against them, that and Le Bron James GOATing once again.

This is the most exciting sports event of the year imo and Im not such a big basketball fan. I expect huge ratings for the triology.

LOL. I'm an admitted Warriors slappy and I much prefer the Cavs side of this bet. Warriors' true odds of sweeping are no better than 10% and perhaps no better than 5%.

Cleveland plays an offensive game that it tailor-made to take advantage of bad individual defenders in 1v1 situations, and I can see them simply letting Draymond/Iggy/maybe even Klay continue to take wide-open shots with the impetus that their shots will be better than Golden State's. Golden State is great at switching on D, but Cleveland just so happens to have a team that abuses that strat more than anyone with the exception of one team I won't mention.

Perhaps it's just me hoping, but I think Steph is gonna get into some foul trouble throughout the series.
Meh. Pretty much every team in the league aims to take advantage of bad individual defenders in 1v1 situations, and literally every team in the league concedes shots to Dray and Iggy. Dray could get off 30 shots a game if that were somehow a good idea.

i actually like the dubs more than the vegas line, but this line is pretty extreme. it's there with the 538 line, which has pretty clearly underrated the cavs all year

edit: notion of cavs being a matchup nightmare for the woyas is lol. the woyas are the more versatile team offensively and defensively

1.4 ppg = 7 points / 5 games. Idk, the Cavs stretching it to five games against a Skip-led team seems even more unlikely to me.

I see a lot of similar talk to this, but the likeliest outcome is this series wont be super competitive. People are expecting a classic but it's probably warriors in 5 (or 6?)

Last year was really competitive with Steph hurt. And they added Durant. Lol.

Got a soft spot for the Cavs after I unexpectedly found myself in downtown Cleveland for game 7 last year. I mean I really wasn't a Cavs fan before that night, but when you find yourself in downtown Cleveland, you make yourself a Cavs fan just to enjoy the night. So still rooting for them, because damn Cleveland was wild that night. Pretty sure my brother and I were the only ones wearing Kentucky shirts in that celebration.

i love it that people who don't follow the nba (I'm assuming here because I see you posting about the nfl a lot, but not on tz) think Curry was hurt

you think warriors sweep is more likely than a cavs series win? hmm...

Prior to the season I would have thought a Warriors sweep would have been more likely than a non Warriors sweep.
Prior to the playoffs I would have thought Warriors in 2.
After watching what Lebron was able to do against my Raptors I think that only the superteam playing at its best could beat that Lebron team. I'm picking Lebron in 6.

Golden St to sweep is +725

Cle to sweep is +3500

Per 5dimes

Field vs Kt Durant for finals mvp is the freest money ever. Only - 215 is stealing

You would be lacking even a shred of intelligence (or don't have eyes) if you're suggesting otherwise.

The fact that he put up the stats he did without being able to penetrate, get to the paint, and run around screens is God like.

I hope he still has tears left after crying to the commisioner to suspend the competition that's face ****ing him at the land, his ownership for "not getting him enough help" (after his agency forced the cavs to overpay for players to line lebetas pockets), and the referees in the ECF.

He's a great player but the most pathetic excuse for human life we will likely ever see in this game. You have to be a special kind of spineless scumbag to actually root for this piece of **** (kids get a pass they don't know any better).

Having said that I do appreciate lebeta a lot because him providing uninspiring leadership while shooting 39% helped my team coast to a championship.
