James to win Finals MVP -125

**Ratzz** · 06-11-15, 01:16 AM

i think they should Co-MVP LeBron with Dellavedova (should the Cavs go on to win)
that kid grabbed pivotal balls.. on the floor.. rebounds etc.. scratched out plays that greatly determined
the outcome of the games.. actions for which there are no statistics...

i know LeBron is first, but Dellavedova's contributions are huge.

what a riot that would be

is it really -125? it was +250 just before game 3. Tells you all you need to know.

Once. Jerry West and it was the first year the award was created.

There is no chance in hell he wins if Cavs lose. Just bet the series price.

Lebron to win finals MVP at -165
Field wins MVP at +135

Curry wins MVP +125
Field wins MVP -155

Am i missing anything?!? Does this make sense?

Why don't you go all in on the MVP to be on the winning team then? Think 5Dimes has -500 on it.

What doesn't make sense?

LeBron's line has worse odds than Cavs series because there is a chance he gets MVP even if the Cavs lose. Curry's line has better odds than Warriors series because there is a chance LeBron gets MVP even if they win.

-125 was available earlier at sportingbet. Now the best you can get is -138 I think.

**nelsonrc24** · 06-11-15, 08:01 PM

Ive never placed any bet on these "field" things. I though "field wins" meant, anyone else. Isnt it? Curry wins MVP +125. Anyone else -155

Yes the field is everything else. I get what you mean now. Field vs Curry has better odds than LeBron which in theory makes no sense. But that happens on occasion on books.

My guess is someone pounded LeBron and moved the odds to -165 from something else and they haven't adapted the other prop for it to make sense yet.

**nelsonrc24** · 06-11-15, 08:08 PM

Its a shame its closed now, no props. It will have to be tomorrow after a big game by Curry tonight.

I'm hoping the Dubs win despite an average game by Curry and LeBron has 45 in a losing effort.

That said I'll be happy if Curry scores 50 and LeBron has 21 points on 7-33 shooting and 18 turnovers too. I'm way more invested in Golden State winning. I do really believe I have a shot at a "middle" here though.

**nelsonrc24** · 06-11-15, 08:15 PM

18 turnovers lol
7-33 seems quite possible. Seems like he insists on stupid shots.

**Seto** · 06-11-15, 10:59 PM

Does anyone think I have a real shot to win both bets here? I don't feel like Curry is playing well enough to win MVP. LeBron didn't have a great night but he still put up 20/12/8 which will at least preserve his average in rebounds and assists. He's probably at something like 35/12/8 for the series now.

**ChiLLx** · 06-11-15, 11:08 PM

I simply do not believe the NBA would award a losing Lebron James this award as he weeps at his locker when the Cavs lose the finals.

Still at least two more games left, maybe three. I don't think Kawhi Leonard played well until three or 4 games into the finals last year. I just don't see them giving the MVP to the losing team, but that's just my opinion. Who knows, it could be like Leonard last year, maybe Iguodala steals the show. Highly doubt it but possible. Most likely they'll give it to Curry as long as he played decent.

Is he really gonna weep though? Idiot was laughing on the bench with them down 20.

The weird thing would be if the Dubs win in 7, and as they are celebrating the championship the PA announcer goes "With averages of 36 points, 12 rebounds and 9 assists, your finals MVP is LeBron James" and the whole arena boos. It's hard to really picture the scene. But how do you not give it to James unless Curry has 2 or 3 very good games to finish the series? Many people are calling for it to be the first time since 1969.

I feel like James' career has that "perdant magnifique" brand on it.

I don't know about this, but I wonder if James has a better chance of winning it if the Cavs lose in 6 on their homecourt than 7 in GS. I would guess so.

Well there's 2 angles there. If he loses in 6 he can get the MVP as he salutes the crowd one last time. If he loses in 7 he's got one more win on his resume in his series.

The main thing is gonna be Curry's production. If it doesn't improve, it just wouldn't feel right for him to win MVP.

it will happen. jerry west is all the precedent they need.

**Pauulzcappin** · 06-12-15, 01:16 AM

lebron had a very bad game for someone who needs to carry the load tonight, if it happens again there is no way he wins it.

it won't happen again. this game was the effect of playing 2 straight games on 1 day of rest. in fact, games 5 and (if there's a 7th) 7 will probably be his 2 best games in this series.

**italianbandit** · 06-12-15, 10:48 AM

If Warrior's win, perhaps Iguadala wins. That is if he starts the next 3 games and has numbers like last night.

**Seto** · 06-14-15, 07:00 PM

Player from the losing team to win MVP moved from +700 earlier all the way down to +350 now. Probably means nothing but I hope it maybe does.

He must win it!!

**Seto** · 06-14-15, 10:14 PM

Well Curry finally had a breakthrough game but it would honestly be a disgrace not to give it to James at this point. I am often one of his harshest critics but he can't do anything more than he's doing. He is the difference between this being a decently competitive series (even though I maintain Golden State aren't playing up to their full potential) and a remake of that joke of a Heat/Bucks series a couple years back.

Fukking idiot Cavs players taking useless fouls on Curry at the end to inflate his stats. Shit pissed me off.

We'll see what happens.

**JameisBrady** · 06-14-15, 11:19 PM

16 points on 50% shooting in the 4th, yeah he is the best player on the planet and in this series. Curry had a good 4th so that puts him at 1.5 good games in this series compared to LeBron's 4....

I really hope this manages to go 7 so you can rest assured of your bet hitting.

**Seto** · 06-17-15, 05:11 AM

Such complete bullshit. They should just stop giving out Finals MVP's as JVG said. If you don't give it LeBron after this series I don't even know what to say. It's a miracle he pushed it to 6 even though it was also due to GS not playing well... Iggy was solid but no way was that an MVP performance. NBA just trying to be original

**vasilli07** · 06-17-15, 05:17 AM

Iggy got 7 votes and LBJ got 4. Curry none.

Before game 6:
Le Brick had miss something like 100 shots only on this series... accurancy was damm low.
Curry boy even not playing at MPV level, he was above 50% accurancy.

BTW, penetrate Lebron. Seto i know you lost the bet, but still penetrate Lebron LOL

Ahhhhh NICE SEASON m8 !!

I think this is the weakest MVP ive seen. Sure Lebron was on the losing team, but Iguodala? Give me a fukking break! I still didnt get over this one, so fukking pissed
