okay boys,

i thought it might be interesting to tally SBR cappers,
and determine the percentages on either side of the 2015 NBA Finals.

The tally at SBR of series of Cleveland vs. Golden State is
32-27 in favor of the The Cavs (54.2%)

i only included individuals who made a hard prediction and made an obvious claim.
They are in alphabetical order. If i made a mistake, (by inclusion or exclusion)
allow me to apologize in advance.

Please make a note of it– and your name will be removed or added if you choose.

cheers and GL

[Ratzz]

lol

wow man u went thru alot of work making that list

[Conqueror]

Add me to the Cavs army

[Menses]

i thought Menses might be on the Cavs...
but i saw no thread or reply that was a committed selection. Thus no entry

who you on M?

Well since so many believe We are one and the same person...should you not already know what team i am on?..LOLOL.....if not...this is FIGHT CLUB...and there is only one rule in fight club...you must root for the CAVS in the Finals...LOLOL

[therealdealau]

Good to see you aren't making another thread about Kobe. Cavs 4-2

[italianbandit]

I said I thought the line was sharp which means I think GS will win.

[SharkAA]

I have never said, that I chose Cavs to win this series... I have absolutely no idea, where did you get that from. If anything, it's 'undecided' or 'neutral'.

[new era]

I didn't officially say but you are correct.

[Ratzz]

Add me to the Cavs army

how did i miss this? i have you on the list, i probably made a mistake when i was cutting and pasting to put in alphabetical order, but i see your name on the Cavs list. My apologies, sir

LOL.. Menses rules.. i saw a couple of replies where you made the case for both teams, and lauded talent on both sides, but no hard pick.
So i had to withhold committing you.. thank you for your vote.. let's get it!

Good to see you aren't making another thread about Kobe. Cavs 4-2

your vote is noted, LeBron will be sending you a gift in the mail shortly.

I said I thought the line was sharp which means I think GS will win.

indeed Signore Bandito.. let's see how sharp it is.

I have never said, that I chose Cavs to win this series... I have absolutely no idea, where did you get that from. If anything, it's 'undecided' or 'neutral'.

SharkAA is off, but i did see you somewhere with a pick.. perhaps i saw a thread where you were trashing one side, and i assumed that represented a lean on your behalf. I apologize for that error.

all good, gents.. look for updated tally soon

You put in a lot of work here. Well done.

SBR Finals Tally: 35-29 for the Cavs

Cavs ahead almost 10%

[Ratzz]

You put in a lot of work here. Well done.

thanks 44, it was a bit time consuming,.. but i just wanted to see all the data (opinions)
lined up

pretty even..

but considering how favored GSW is...interesting to see that SBR regulars favor Cavs

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

This is all very good work Ratzz. I applaud you.

There are some epic mushes on Warriors, if you believe in that kinda thing.

I don't.

In my opinion, this is the most interesting finals match-up in a while.

Though taking into account that hindsight is 20:20, Thunder/Heat in 2012 sounded like it was going to be much more interesting than it turned out to be.

i completely agree... Thunder won Game 1, then Miami 4 Straight

i think very much the same, the pressure may be a bit much for first-timers Thompson, and Curry.
many young kids on Cavs, but they all have a parent on the floor with LeBron out there.
LeBron has been there and seen that, focused more on task, cameras won't distract him as they may
the Warriors.

We will see

cheers MMMV

No problem, Ratzz. I was indeed trashing LeBron, since he ran away like a pussy from Miami, after the loss last year. I hope this will backfire at him, so I'll be rooting for GSW to win the series for that reason. However, I wouldn't put 1 EUR, backing up either side to win the series.

prime example of LeBron hate. this is how hatred skews reality. Wade was rested 28 Regular Season games, so that he would not be spent in the Playoffs. They got to the Finals, and Wade was totally spent. Bosh did not do so much either.

What happened to Miami without LeBron? even with an added Dragic?

Heat went to the Finals largely because of LeBron.
Leaving like a pussy, might be applicable if he never returned to the Playoffs again, and was too nervous for the big stage.
A Cavs team that missed the NBA Playoffs for 4 straight years, is IN the Finals

strange that the years that Cleveland MISSED the playoffs and drafted first,
oddly coincide with the years that LeBron was in Miami..?

must be a coincidence.

[Menses]

ESPN and most of the talking heads are on Golden State...every beat writer, and analyst...is taking GSW..and many have them doing it in 5 games...or 6 which would mean GSW closing it out on Cleveland's home floor...this is something Lebron and the league simply will not allow with what is at stake...and the experts simply do not understand this...

I suspect the hatred for Lebron and the rising trend for Nerd analytics of 3 point shooting and the unearned respect for Steve Kerr have a lot of people rooting for GSW...Warriors seem to fit the mold of a championship team that the experts all seem to approve of...meanwhile...plus money is now being offered on the Cavs in tandem with the futures placed on them at the beginning of the season...even tho GSW is currently being hit heavy...at - 5.5....

Memphis split...and had them 2-1...Houston had a chance to split and coughed it up..Cavs are as good as both of those teams....if the Cavs split...given what is at stake...are people really asking GSW to walk into Cleveland and win a game in that environment with what is on the line? It cannot be done...if the cavs split...the series is over...

excellent analysis, Menses
i think you are 100% correct here..

but i must ask, what was the consensus with MJ? were people second guessing him the whole way?
people seem so certain of him "after" the events have transpired.. from a historical point of view.

i think that people just cannot comprehend history as it unfolds, they must see the entire series of events unfold,
before they are able to grasp it. Curry played terribly IN Cleveland. Really bad, maybe it was Defense.. maybe
it was nerves playing on LeBron's floor.. what i do know is that LeBron does NOT have road jitters. Does not
require HOME crowd cheering.. in fact, i think he enjoys silencing a crowd.

i have a feeling that Thompson is going to be grabbing his head.. and acting dazed if he goes cold..
then the announcers will invariably start taking about "the concussion" lol

[pinchegringo]

I read on Score that 80% of public is on Cavs so...
