    Disturbing Stat Warriors Going Into Finals

    According to ESPN Stats & Information research, the Blazers became the only team over the past two decades to lose three games that they led by at least 15 points in the same playoff series. The Warriors rallied from a 17-point deficit in Game 2, from 18 down in Game 3 and from another 17-point deficit in Game 4.

    Basically they are in trouble without full team

    They just swept their conference finals....

    The team is built different, whereas a 15 point lead might mean something to a squad that runs offense thru a traditional center, it is looked at as 5 possessions by GSW, the equivalent of 2 minutes of opponents ball control.

    GSW lengthens games by shortened offensive possessions in the 4th, quicker shots and more points per possession than any other team (except Hous). No deficit too much...conversely they don't always protect leads (see LAC gm 2).

    They'll be fine, finals showcase 2 different styles w Giannis vs shooters

    Golden State will win.
    It's just a matter of how many games.

    Agreed.
    Shame that Denver couldn't win game 7.
    Denver would have won at least one,

    Is he out?
    Also, Cousins might come back.

    Milwaukee will not compete, too inexperienced

    Golden State getting rest

    No idea who is playing

    Cousins would help for sure

    Bucks too big for current GSW team

    Don't need Cousins or KD, Warriors still win it all easily.. They'll take out the Bucks or Raptors right now as is.. It's gonna be easy too..

    Spash bro's and Green are just too damn good right now. Dialed in. Bench is still very deep even with the injuries as well. Warriors got the best Sharp shooters in the league in Steph and Thompson.. Radar!!

    JJ is trolling as usual..

    I think the Houston Rockets would have beat either the Bucks or Raptors if they reached the finals... Ooooops, last I checked Warriors took those James Harden led Rockets out fairly easily just a few weeks though didn't they?....

    The Warriors with or without Durant just aren't as good as the sum of their parts this year. The Rockets really missed out on a golden opportunity.

    Setting up like Milwaukee is the new Beast from the East

    Golden State will lose Durant and their dynasty is in jeopardy.

    I don’t see Bucks beating them. It should be a really good series tho, bout time, most have been a joke.

    Yup great live bet action after the 1st quarter when they were down all year long in many games.. Made good bank roll with that this year with those live bets.. Many slow starts and they just roar back..

    When State was down 17 I thought about betting them live but cheesed out in last nights game.. I had enough money riding on it already.. Sure enough they come back and win the game in OT.. Would have loved to hit that line now thinking back when the Warriors were down 17 points last night in the second half.

    Would love to see a Warriors Championship
    without Durant.
    (Nothing against Durant, debatably the best player in the NBA.)
    But the return of a Splash Brothers led championship team would be fantastic.

    Remember the Bucks are playing the perpetual Eastern Conference bridesmaids from Ontario.
