Bottom line is if Curry isn't fouled behind the 3 point line then no way GS covers, and OKC may actually end up winning that game.
I guess you missed the 3rd quarter then when the Warriors steamrolled OKC to take a double digit lead going into the 4th. Warriors had a double digit lead with three minutes to go as well. People tend to only see things through their own lens when they end up gambling and losing money on a game.

I agree, I think if anything the Cav's weakness in their defense is defending at the rim. Westbrook, Durant, and the bigs of OKC would have been more difficult for them to stop in my opinion. The Warriors aren't going to be easy to stop either but I think it's a better matchup for them. They have some decent guards to play defense on the perimeter after all.

what shocked me about G7 was Durant's disappearing act.

he also rested more in the 3Q than any other, but I see what you're saying. Overall tho I thought his G7 performance was pretty solid all things considered. May of been enough to keep him in OKC for one more season

G1 sure didn't bode well for the cavs. Splash brothers both had trouble scoring and they still lost by double digits

yea i mean it is only one game but the fact that Klay and Steph played like they did and the Cavs still lost like they did definitely spells trouble for Cle fans.

Cleveland has got to pass the ball around more and find ways to get their shooters open. They ran too many isolation plays in game one and GS totally shut most of it down. I think last years NBA finals performance from Lebron got a bit into his head as he seemed to want to send a statement early that he could take over as he did in last year's series and it backfired hard in his face. GS played great defense on him. Kyrie Irving also seemed to want to take over a bit too often. They need to get back to the team ball that they were playing in some of their earlier series on offense.

What I really like is even with an injury... GS has plenty chance of still winning the series.
101% agree on this. Just pound GS all the way, you'll win more than lose. Sad but true, more ppl hate them they have better chance to win.

The public hates the Warriors? I would have thought there were more Lebron haters out there than people against the Warriors.

I bet on the under in game 1 and threw a bit of money on Cleveland as well. I'm thinking game 2 is going to have a much quicker pace and expect the over to be a good bet here. Probably throw some money on Cleveland again as well. I think the East and Cleveland are getting a lot of disrespect in this series.

Wow. Just amazed at the disparity between the two teams right now. Honestly I'm mostly laying money on Cleveland with my heart as I want them to win and enjoy the sweat but I really didn't think they were this big of a dog going into this series.

Are the likes of San Antonio, Oklahoma City, LAC, etc really all that much better than the Cavs?

Cav's offense just looks abysmal to me. Their defense doesn't look all the much better. I guess I can side with all the people now saying that Golden State would exploit the weaknesses in Cleveland's lineup on defense and I'm not sure what Cleveland can do about it going forward. Aside from maybe Thompson, Smith, Shumpert, and James the Cleveland defense has so many weak spots and on the other end Golden State's defense has been lock down.

Also, where are the three point shots or at least the threat from there been from Cleveland? I guess this is why I thought Cleveland could make it a series. Last year Golden St had trouble stopping the one man Jame's show. I thought with the added threats on offense this year as well as Kyrie Irving who can also penetrate the lane that Golden State was going to have to sell out at stopping one or the other but in this series so far they are shutting both down with ease.

I'm jumping ship now

they did better last year with no love or Irving. What stands out to me is cavs can't score. Sure the refs are letting GW play a little chippy but cavs can't even find the basket when they get an uncontested shot. The question i'm asking myself is the east really that horrible

The following was posted on another forum under a thread titled "If Cavs were in the West". Obviously alot of posters there now think the Cavs are grossly overrated and that the West teams are much stronger but the following post stood out to me....


"The east only only lost 14 more games to the west. That was with spurs and gs going 50-9 against the east. Gs, okc, and spurs are elite.....the next best 8 teams arguably play in the east with the Clippers falling in their somewhere.

The playoffs is all about matchups. If the thunder had of won the cavs would have had no problems with them. The cavs have won 15 of last 19 against because no one can guard lebron and lebron can guard durant. They don't have iggy and green who are big and strong enough to hang in there with lebron. The ignorance delivered on here is impressive though"


It will be interesting to see how things play out in Cleveland but it just feels as if Cleveland doesn't really have it in this series on offense. Their defense aside from of a few players feels very stale as well. I guess it just comes down to Golden State shutting down a few players and Cleveland just doesn't have the depth to hang with the Golden St bench players. Channing Frye and Kevin Love are terrible defensively inside this series too. Maybe Cleveland should give a lineup with Mozgov and Thompson inside a shot against Golden St. Who knows? Still hoping they can somehow find a way to make this a series though.

Why are we still analyzing sport here? I thought ppl on this forum and particular these threads are not supposed to be this naive. If money isn't right, Cavs will lose, if more ppl betting over, those guys are gonna just air ball all night, simple as that. It's not just NBA, it's every where, but NBA is the most obvious and annoying.

My guess is that you have never played competitive sports or have an understanding of the winning mentality or the desire to be the best that many of these top competitors have in their field. It's amusing to me people like you that believe that these organizations, owners, and players reach the pinnacle of their sport but then somehow decide to tank at the opportunity of extra money? These players sacrifice so much of themselves throughout a given year or career to reach this point. Many of them sacrifice money in their contracts to be able to play on teams that have an expected shot at winning the title.

idk what to say to someone like you that is shrouded in some kind of insane conspiracy theory.

Claiming the refs may have been paid off to fix a game is reasonable conspiracy theory and I'm sure it happens from time to time. It's fairly obvious refs even have a sort of bias in the calls they make against or for a lot of players as well.

Claiming that the players that reach the finals or even deep in the playoffs are fixing or helping to fix the results though is a whole other level of conspiracy and I doubt that occurs very often at all in today's NBA.

Keep in mind two of the last six meetings were last years finals with a hobbled Cleveland roster and another two were these two past games. They only met twice this season, the first time was the Christmas day game and that was a very physical game from both teams and both teams struggled to score the ball much in that game. It was Cleveland on the road as well and I think Kyrie Irving had just gotten back into playing shape. The other game I didn't watch but they were blown out at home and I heard it was a fairly large beat down and they were outplayed on both ends.

Let's also keep in mind Cleveland has looked bad in four of their last five road games. Toronto made them look pretty bad as well in games three and four and had Cleveland not looked so good in the previous games and series before that we would have probably been questioning their level of play back at that time.

Anyone want to explain any reasoning as to why game 3 would be GS/CLE PK for the line? The line seems fishy, would of thought GS would be at least favored by a few points, even on the road.

In this matchup GS is 9-3 vs CLE in the past 2 yrs, 4-0 this year including playoffs + reg season when CLE is healthier in this yr's Finals and not to mention CLE may be w/o Love next game? (Might be an improvement actually).

I hate GS but I don't see them just refusing to show up, even if Curry is out and/or it wouldn't matter if CLE keeps shooting in the 30-40%ish area. What am I missing here?

Cleveland has been lights out at home throughout the playoffs so far and they haven't lost at home in the post season. After watching games one and two though I'd have a really difficult time putting any money on Cleveland in game 3. As a fan I'm hoping they show up and make this a series though.

Can anyone tell me if there's always a moneyline bet in the NBA or do they not put one up every game? I don't bet on sports too much and can't seem to find one listed for game 3 tonight.
