    Gimme the Cavs. We all know the NBA is on the same level of the WWE. It's Lebron to the rescue. He'll be in the "as good as Michael Jordan" talk again. He'll bring a championship to the beleaguered city of Cleveland. He'll have everyone at ESPN having orgasms. He'll be a national hero to a generation of young kids who could care less about watching pro hoops. He'll get every call from Joey Crawford. What does a Golden State championship get the NBA? Not much. Follow the money. This one is a lay up, boyz. The odds on the Cavs will not be all that high.

    i can agree with that. i can see why someone would take rockets to win series at a certain price. heck they almost won games 1 and 2.

    dont make guarantees tho you just sound dumb. warriors no chance to win the west? really? sorry but you are not smarter than pinnacle

    seems like the way to go if you lean Cavs like I do.
    wait gm 1. hope they lose then get the high odds.
    But if they win, take them at even money.
    I'd rather take them in either one of those than at outset.

    Well if they win Game 1, I'd kick myself for not taking the +205 beforehand.

    If they win game 1, why not wait for them to lose game 2 if your doing series bets

    Because series would probably be over. Cavs basically HAVE to win one of first two games in Oakland to have a chance.

    Sorry I misread what meyer wrote. Right answer is if they win Game 1 and lose Game 2, will still be less than series price of +205

    you mean if the cavs win game 1, sit out game 2 as warriors would win THEN take the Cavs for the series.

    so if you like Cavs series price, wait for them to lose game 1, they lose, take the higher series price

    but if Cavs win game 1, wait for Cavs to lose game 2, then take them for the series prior to game 3

    not true. home teams can win the first 4 games, which is not impossible since the home teams will be favored in all 4 games. then cavs can win game 5 on the road

    Yes I obviously get that, but I don't expect Cavs to win four straight games nor do I expect them to win a Game 7 in Oakland. So in my mind, they have to win one of first two and then win in 6, or else they will not win it at all.

    Bet half a unit on Cavs to start series, then another half if they lose first game. If they win first game, bet another half unit after they lose second game. Cavs will win the series.

    If I were to do prop bets on this series, I'd go with:
    1) Cavs in 6 (games 1, 3, 4, and 6)
    2) Warriors in 5 (games 1, 2, 4, and 5).

    Actually Cavs ML for Game 1 will probably be bigger than series price. So take Cavs ML Game 1. If they win, relax and forget about series bets. If they lose, bet Cavs series after Game 1.

    James cannot take many jump shots he just has to keep going to the basket and play inside ball and it'll keep the score a little lower and he will foul everyone out

    Game 1 line dropped. What about series price?

    I think game spread will move back up.

    Game 1 is still higher at most places. Game 1 ranging between +190 and +210. Series ranging between +180 and +200.

    Yes they went back to 2-2-1-1-1 last year. Eliminated a perceived advantage the lower seed would have after five games. NBA figures travel is no longer much of a consideration.
