or just slightly. I think on paper Warriors should dominate the Cavs, not as bad as Spurs/Heat last year but still. Discuss
Should be massive favorites..Cavs might be a little inflated due to the public(they're a more public team than the Warriors), but should still be at least +200 IMO..
Lebron isn't playing as well as people think, and their role players are hot + feasting on much lesser compe ion than GS..
If you recall, a ton of picked the Heat to beat the Spurs, last year, which was delusional IMO(I picked the Spurs in 5 and bet on it, as I posted here)..
Yeah, once Tim settled with Amy the frost was off the pumpkin. We didn't have to go home,,,but, we had to get the outta there.
Last year's Heat was better than this Cavs team, and they feasted on slightly worse compe ion, while the Spurs-Thunder were playing at a much higher level, and it was obvious that they would destroy the East compe ion IMO..
I don't think the Warriors are as good as the Spurs, despite the advanced metrics stating they're a historically great team(which is true, they are, but it's in relation to compe ion, and the league has been pretty bad this year with injuries, etc), but they're close enough..also, unlike the Spurs of last year, their best player is a top 3-4 player in the league that can take over a game..
its hard not to consider a team historic with 67-15 +10.1 ppg #1 defense #2 offense and likely making the Finals after tonight.obviouslt have to finish it off with a le though. Cavs have a historic player but Warriors have a historic team with similar properties to last years Spurs.. also Clevelands middling team defense will finally meet a team that can exploit it.
I agree that the Warriors are historic in relation to their compe ion, I meant I don't think they're necessarily better than last year's Spurs from a heads up perspective..regardless, I'd be shocked if they don't destroy a team relying entirely on an inefficient Lebron + the Knicks..
Is Love back for the Finals? I wonder if that will hurt Cleveland since Thompson seems to finally have found his place on this team.
What's Love got to do with it, Mono? He's nothing more than a second hand emotion.
Now, take an ike.
Great Satan Lebron only won 11 games in the finals though, while losing 16.
How do Mazgov and Thompson compare to Zbo and Gasol in relation to Bogut and Green? That to me is key... I really don't think there's a comparison, Grizzlies inside were supposed to dominate....
I mean, if you're going to go with GSW I think Grizz are a comparable team to the Cavs in terms of makeup and MO... minus a Lebron of course, but there are ways to deal with him
They should be the East is trash since DK left Shicago.
I'll take Golden State in 6.
It's going to get the May-Pac treatment.. In reality the favorite should be like -375 but it'll be closer to -180.
Hopefully..Mayweather was one of the easiest bets I have ever made, tbh, as I told you at the time..
Warriors are a semi-public team, but there are still doubters(mostly fans that can't put their nostalgia aside and accept that a jump shooting team is dominating), while the Cavs are blinding people because they have Lebron(a declining, inefficient Lebron, by his standards)..
If Kyrie is healthy, Dubs in 6 imo. If not, Dubs in 5. Lebron is going to play out of his mind though.
Am seeing GSW -210, if you guys are interested in raising money for your kids college tuitions.
Yep, called it..there was no way it was going to be less than -200
love how your comparison leaves out the most important player in the series. is jeff green supposed to compare to lebron?
Heard it went down from +270 to +190 over night for cavs backers.
interesting.
I forgot his name... I thought it was green but then I thought of your green and thought there can't be that many greens in the NBA
Anyway, no Im not leaving out LeBron, if everything else is a wash, Lebron is the X-Factor, there's no one who can guard him, like Leonard did last year, especially. It's not a perfect comparison.
But down low, I'm looking at who GSW went through, Davis, Zbo, Gasol, now Howard... Tristan Thompson and Mazgov don't stand a chance unless they really up their games.
As massive as lakers over Pistons in 04
Difference is the favorites will actually win this time, and likely in a sweep.
If the Warriors defeat the Cavs, then it is a big reflection on the Thunder failure a few years ago
I still got it!!!
