Warriors will only need 5 games to beat the Cavs

[Ballin24]

Warriors going to bury the same idiots from last year...

Can't believe they are laying juice in this type of series.

[JIBBBY]

The entire board is on the Warriors to win the series and win on the ML tonight..

We are all doomed Cavs probably win game 1 now .... I've seen this story play out before on SBR..

[BigDofBA]

A lot of misinformation in this thread.....

Game 6 in Cleveland
Fading prop bets
Durant winning MVP when his mom is the real MVP
Cavs bench isn't good
Series ending in 4

I don't know where to start with all this shit.

[t-wizzle]

Warriors -2.5 has gone from +209 to +186. Hmmm...

Down to +161.

Lesson 1. The favorite doesn't always win...
Thank me later

Yea I know. That's why I took Cavs last year. This time the favorite wins.

[Seto]

i honestly forgot what i picked that series because it was the least confident i felt in a series bet i've posted here.

2013: i posted heat. winner
2014: i posted heat. loser
2015: i posted gs. winner
2016: i posted cavs. winner
2017: i posted cavs. ????

You see if you had just said that initially it would've been no problem.

But you had to act like a bitch and lie, then throw up stupid accusations and challenges to try to cover your ass about something I guarantee you nobody in this thread cares about.

Weak. But let's move on.

Seto forget that clown. Who you on tonight?

[Seto]

Seto forget that clown. Who you on tonight?

Warriors-7, -1.5 games for series (-120), to win series and never be headed (-138) and to win it all at -125 from when Durant was hurt in March.

[Goat Milk]

Agree 100

[KRIT]

Some good NBA heads in here, Wiz, Seto, Goat. Chat it up.

[Seto]

My random shot at predicting every game from now would be:

Game 1: Warriors blowout, they jump out to a huge lead and never look back

Game 2: Cavs compete much better, probably a close game going into the 4th but the Warriors eventually pull away. Not sure who covers, probably decided by free throws and shit.

Game 3: Cavs jump out to a lead, then blow it and have to hold on late. Not sure who wins though.

Game 4: Warriors start better, put on a clinic and either take the 3-1 lead or sweep. Probably make 20 threes or something.

Game 5 (if necessary): Warriors by 50, 2008 Celtics game 6 style.

I really don't care who wins the NBA Champuonship, quite frankly I'm tired of the same old script, having said that, here's my two cents, if the Cav's cover the 7.5 tonight they'll win the game, and with the money line being +260/-290, +260 is the wat to go (if you think the Cavs win the game)

I'm betting the over myself, GSW is going to gun, if they do, Cleveland has to keep pace.
But what do I know?

[bozeman]

warriors will beat the min game 7 - the whole finals are rigged guaranteed!!!

1. How many people bet last year warriors win it all? like 90 percent vs 10 percent - thats billions of dollars. Dont u think All vegas bookies didnt sign a pact with nba to fail The warriors? Hella they did!!! What did warriors have to lose is they will be in finals next year anyway against very same cavs - as two top the league pretty much. Now its time to pay the favor back and let warriors win - but we need to raise money broadcasting - so game 7 is inevitable!

2. why do i think finals were rigged last year? Ejection of MVP! its like they wanted to fail

[KRIT]

The more I look at this series, the more I think Warriors win. Matchup favor them a lot. Only way I see GS losing is if Klay and Curry choke which is a possibility.

Let's not forget the Cavs are a 51-win team. I don't want to hear all this "they coasted through the regular season" shit. LeBron was leading the league in minutes through most of the season, that doesn't sound like coasting to me. Now obviously they have another gear to the level they played at but their issues were genuine, and well, most of them are on the defensive end. I think I read recently their defensive efficiency was basically the same in the first 3 rounds as it was in the regular season so essentially they've only turned it up on offense, they're still the same shitty defensive team they were all season. They think they're going to win trying to outscore a team like the Warriors? Hilarious.

Everyone will dismiss this then when the Warriors win "yeah, but they faced only 1 team that won more than 51 games and that team had its best player injured, weak competition".

Literally the only somewhat legitimate reason to take the Cavs is "they've got LeBron, he's the greatest player ever, he'll find a way". Every single other angle that makes sense to me points at the Warriors.

[Seto]

For those that say the regular season doesn't matter...

LeBron as a number 1 seed in the Finals since 2011: 3-0
LeBron as a number 2 seed in the Finals since 2011: 0-3

Only match up edge Cleveland has is at small forward, if you can call James small, and how much really is that edge James has over Durant anyway?

You sound like an idiot. Finals were rigged yet game 7 was tied at 89 with 50 seconds left before Irving hits a fadeaway 3 over Curry, just moments after James blocks Iguadala on a layup out of nowhere.

Lebron must be a robot controlled by the league office? And the basketball had a remote chip in it to allow that Irving 3 to go in, and the Curry 3 to tie on the other end to hit the back iron?

What a moron you are.

That's what we want.

Main SBR NBA guys showed up.

series price shot to -305 at pinnacle

[kingdom]

strong argument can be made that cave bench is better, more experienced... if you're counting on Ian clark coming in and lighting it up don't hold your breathe

shocked no one noticed this. no 3 pt threats off gsw bench. and iggy is 34 and not looking the same as two years ago.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Cavs have 8 players that shoot at least 40% from 3 and Kyrie isn't one of them and Korver is number 7.

[Git Lo]

I would think the warriors starting 4-5 plays a majority of the minutes especially since they have plenty of time to rest between games, but yeah cavs bench is better.

[lakerboy]

series price shot to -305 at pinnacle

Get ready for game 7

[t-wizzle]

Blowout as expected

[KRIT]

If Curry and Durant play this well, they aren't losing the series. Cavs need one of those guys to choke along with Klay.

[GoBlue77]

that moment when Cavs fans thought they had a chance in this series

sorry Curry isn't hurt this year, smell you later losers

if Klay could hit a shot Warriors would be up 40 on these chumps

[lakerboy]

Blowout as expected

James loses game 1. 6 straight times now

[Seto]

Blowout as expected

We knew pal.

[BigDofBA]

If people didn't see this coming they should stop gambling.

I hate Durant and the Warriors. I'm heavily biased and even I said this series only goes 5.

The Warriors literally can't screw this up. It would take like 3 of their all-stars choking. They won't all choke at the same time multiple games in this series. I could coach this team and win by double digits.

I'm pretty sure they haven't lost a game in like 4 months when their big 4 has been healthy. The NBA is not even interesting anymore.

The thing is they're coming in a year when none of the other superpowers are at their best. If they had to deal with the 2011-13 Heat (I actually consider the 2011 Heat to be the best team LeBron's ever been on, it's just that he himself completely shit the bed in the Finals. They annihilated Boston and Chicago which were actually really good teams. Absolutely unplayable on D. Still had prime Wade. Just a scary team. They would have destroyed my Mavs in the Finals if LeBron had showed up, no doubt about it.), last year's Cavs, the 2013-14 Spurs... Well, they'd still win, but at least it would be interesting.

I'd hate to be a fan of a team that had a star in his prime right now, like a Westbrook or Harden or Paul George or whatever. Even if my team puts together a good roster around them they probably have no chance. Just sad. Good time to be a fan of a rebuilding team that might be able to take over once the Warriors are disbanded and LeBron retires.

Yea I saw that. Bro you realize Durant is going to continue to have his way in that matchup right?

We knew pal.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Cav's still win this series. Cue up the Warrior excuses in 2 weeks.

Yep. Sixers are in good shape.

Unfortunately not even sure that 2012 Heat could beat this Warriors team. Let's face it. LeBron has a pretty damn good team right now. There's nothing that can be done about this Warriors team. Lamest team in the history of sports. I hate betting on these jerkoffs.
