    Steph Curry's Finals averages:

    2018: 27.5 pts, 6.8 ast, 6.0 reb
    2017: 26.8 pts, 5.4 ast, 8.2 reb
    2016: 22.6 pts, 3.7 ast, 4.9 reb
    2015: 26.0 pts, 6.3 ast, 5.2 reb

    his shooting percentages were down vs. regular season though but its the finals Id expect that, kd's percentages were up from his reg. season though

    But 18-1 I suppose is worth a shot.
    Kinda what I’m thinking, between that and having so much time off it feels like be asking a awful lot of him to jump in gm3 or whatever and dominate vs a guy like khawi.

Kawhi will become a roaming defender and that works too the raptors advantage
    I agree I think it would be a mistake to bring him back, and who cares if it hurts his fragile little ego? not like he gonna be playing for them after this season so fukk him imo... I honestly don’t think they need him, if I’m wrong and your squad kicks their asses the 1st 2 in Toronto maybe then you think about it. At the moment seems silly to fukk with a good thing.

    You can't just look at points per game, you have to look at percentages, if you shoot enough you will score, there's a reason he's never won Finals MVP.

    Several weeks while others in playoff mode is a lot imo. Can’t imagine he be anywhere close to 100% and just think it expecting a lot for him to jump right in and be his normal self especially against a really good and physical defender.

    18 to 1 is nice tho and assuming you not betting a lot on it? Just feels like a lot of unlikely things have to occur to cash this.

    Because he defers to KD is a big reason.

    Who won it the 1st year before KD? I forget.

    I mentioned shooting percentages from what I can tell thats the only reason he didnt win it last year kd shot better and had a few more rebounds but kd is gonna miss prob at least 2 games and maybe more at 18-1 it looks like something you''d wanna have in your back pocket but obviously books are saying its just gonna be too hard with missing 2 or more games. here's a scenario though, if gs loses the first 2 games or even split the first 2 and kd comes back starting game 3 and they go on to win the finals and he's the main reason why then I can see him winning it. best scenario is if gs loses first 2 in toronto and everyone is kinda down on them kd comes back and they win, its a good ticket to have I agree morino Im gonna put a little something on it myself

    Thing is I just don’t see dubs losing the 1st 2, other than that I really feel like him coming back could do more harm than good.. This goes out the window if they do lose the 1st 2, if that happens and he comes back and they win it probably a no brainer he would win it. Seems like lot a unlikely things have to happen to me but that why you getting 18-1.

    I dont know man I expect toronto to win at least 1 of the first 2 curry struggles when he's being antsy and shooting too quickly other scary thing is portland isnt all that good to me compared to gs and they had those big leads against gs in 3 of the 4 games they played

    Klay Thompson at 20-1 is better.

    Toronto is the only team built to defend. G.S. went through teams that couldn't defend dikk.

    Durant is worthless.... Cousins is worthless....

    Kerr scratching his head at the moment.

    I don't see how you expect Thompson and Curry to stay HOT ENOUGH to win 4 games.

    Toronto already has plans to stop Curry and Thompson.... we all know you can't shut them down.... but if you wear them out... how else can G.S. score? Green? He already had is best series... Toronto has enough manpower to disrupt him.

    G.S. only chance.... Durant has to come back. But will he?

    Still trying to figure out why oddsmakers opened the series price at -330. Of course.... Bookmaker waited as long as they could to release their line.... and the only book that matters... is them.

    Its not just shooting percentages, its also the perception that he's a bad defender. The NBA knows it will be short series if GS wins games 1 and 2,I expect Toronto to get calls, not rigged but i think they get calls.

    What blows my mind... you have a series price of G.S around -270 at most places....

    G.S. would probably be -6.5 to -7 point favorites in Game 3 and Game 4.

    I get Toronto as 4 home games....

    But... it's like Vegas is baiting you in taking G.S. I mean.... you're getting them for... THE ENTIRE SERIES at -270.... including all of their home games. It's like a no brainer to take G.S. SERIES

    We are on the same wavelength. Tor is going to give them a hell of a series.

    Silly to bet Leonard at +260 when series is +250 very small chance the could be MVP in loss I guess but just take the series.
