So who wins the NBA Championship?

[Ballerholic]

Warriors, Spurs, or Cleveland?

I'm honestly leaning Cleveland. They were missing Love and Irving in last year's NBA Championship and are playing better ball with this new coach. Yea the Warriors improved, but they have to go through their Clipper Rivals the Spurs/Thunder to get there.

Cleveland are getting almost 4/1 odds when they're basically guaranteed to make the finals

[PorkChop]

Cleveland over Golden State.

Kobe and Jordan won titles in their 13th season.

LeBron in his 13th now.

Its comical how to the point the NBA is scripted.

[louielouie]

Been saying this all year and totally agree - at the very least they have the best odds standing as they will guaranteed make the finals at which point you can hedge

[louielouie]

Where can you still get 4 to 1 odds?

[PorkChop]

+375 at Westgate right now.

You wont see 4/1 again

[Smoke]

Hawks

[louielouie]

yeah all the number conspiracies point to the cavs large - not to mention it is a good public fade play

[lilpete]

We Da North...Raptors baby

[jjgold]

tough to say

GSW looks too tough

Cleve could not beat them more than 2 games

[pavyracer]

Cleveland..

[laumart]

[Don_Omarion]

IMO Cavs at 4-1 would be good when taking into acct there is a lot of time for the Warriors to fall apart or see an injury like Cleveland did last year but if something happened to the Warriors the Spurs are still there. Thats Clevaland's problem this year... They will be much better with 2/5s of their starting 5 back but the Warriors somehow got even better and the Spurs got deeper and better with top free agents.

For me, the only mystery in this year's playoffs is can the Spurs figure out GSW in a 7 game series. Will they try a whole new game plan? Dedicate someone full time to Steph? Pick him up at full court and leave the other guards open? Guard Steph even when the Spurs are on offense? =P

Agreed they make the finals. Then what.....? How do they get passed Spurs, GSW or OKC

[louielouie]

In six games is my guess - they almost won it all last year without love, frye, lue or kyrie

Yup

[pboozer57]

Rockets take it down this year! 8th seed barely getting into the playoffs winning it all.

Either way it should be a good finals. But if they stay healthy I don't see any team beating the Dubs in a seven game series. They're 17-1 playing teams over .500 That's A good number if I've ever seen one and there better defensively and with points in the paint this year. Spurs look damn good as well. And from what I've seen Cavs lack the ability to finish. Great talent but they play as if they're still trying to figure things out. It's going to get interesting.

[Jaak Varblane]

Rooting for LeBron, but I'm pretty sure that GSW is going to win it easily.

Cavs are a better team without those trashy players, especially in the playoff, those defensive liability players. What an effing joke. Warriors were nervous as hell last year in the finals, it showed and Lebron took advantage of it. It's normal to feel nervous in your first finals, and who could forget how lebron performed in his first finals appearance

Warriors of this year is a completely different story, this time around there will no longer be nerve, they will be rolling FULL OF CONFIDENCE. May I add Cavs may not even make the finals this year. LOLOL

[packerd_00]

To easy to say GS,but im gonna have to pick them regardless.

[marcoloco]

GS and Spurs will be exhausted by the finals, if they make it. GS has already looked vulnerable in their last 10 games or so. Barely beating a few non-playoff teams. I think chasing 72-10 is wearing them out.

[jjgold]

I was looking to bet against Golden State but like I said it's almost impossible that they lose

[packerd_00]

Who's going to beat them in the West,SA seems like wishful thinking. All they are really is the great white hope,the one team that can derail the GS steamroll.

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Can't really see anyone beating Golden State in a 7 gamer.

Winning all your home games against them is difficult enough but then having to beat them at least once in Oakland...

Just seems unlikely.

[PorkChop]

Please nobody bet Toronto.

For the love of God. Do something else with that money.

[packerd_00]

Think about it Mo,how often do you see a top team get clobbered in the NBA playoffs,rarely happens.

[garygroundwork]

Golden State

It is fun prognostication -- I could see Clippers, Thunder and Spurs all beating the Warriors they way they have faded 2nd half of season -- they look tired and those other teams are well rested and just as hungry -- as they say the playoffs is another season -- on the east though no one stands a chance against the Cavs (which is why they are a whopping -300 to win the east -- not even his Heat teams were priced like that)

[rpesi9955]

Anything could happen but if the warriors stay healthy and they make it past the Spurs I would say crown them.the Cavs aren't push overs but as far as match ups goes the Dubs have already proven they're superior at home and in Cleveland with cavs healthy.

What you're seeing is them playing down to lesser teams.and that's very apparent with the 17-1 against teams at or over .500 we will see shortly if being tired is an issue.

[smoke a bowl]

Gol St wins easily minus a big injury

What are current odds gsw?
