    cavs
    can they play better d than the rockets? can the hit the three point that the rockets couldn't? Will they get the calls that the rocket couldn't. you miss 20 3 points shots in a row you can't gripe about the calls. will the cavs be smart enough to looney who can't make free throws. Something that the rockets coach was to stupid to do.

    The fact they missed 27 straight 3s is just absolutely insane and shouldn't be overlooked. We might not even see that ever again even if a regular season game for literally the rest of our lifetimes. Many of those were really good looks. Just a bunch of guys who couldn't seize the moment.

      The odds of that team missing 26 shots in a row was roughly 1:120,000 , if even a few of them go down its a different game, nevermind the three missed calls on Harden in the first half while he was shooting 3’s, thats 7ft’s, one of the 3’s went in and they waved it off

      Anyways, point being, this was not a blow out win and Houston couldnt have played worse

      Love will be back, Lebron will score 20, 30, 40, 50 however many it takes

      I see GS winning it all in 6, possibly another game 7

        Cavs +700 for series, I actually think they have a shot. They at least push it to 6-7 games.

                Golden State doesn't have a much better defense than the Celtics, that's for certain; they are about the same. They do however have a much better team than the Cavs and no matter what LeBron does he cannot beat them, his team sucks. Never in the history of basketball has one player won a basketball series without his team playing well. LeBron has been down this road before with no help and lost every time. He actually lost with help twice in Miami and without Kyrie he'd have nothing in Cleveland as well

                  Absolutely just dead on with that last statement! without kyrie we wouldn't even know LeBron's name right?
                  Getting really tired of that 1 in general, unfortunately kyrie just hasn't been healthy enough to say if it wasn't for kyrie. He missed basically the entire playoffs 3 years ago and LeBron still took them to the finals, if anything I would say if it wasn't for Andre igodala and kyrie being injury prone the Cavs would have 2 chips. To whoever wants to dispute the old "if it wasn't for Ray allen/kyrie" argument - the only God damn common denominator for the last decade in all these playoff series/games has been the rock LeBron

                    I bet the Cavs in the Boston series. Had to lay silly odds.....but it won.

                    I'm taking that profit and putting it on the Cavs again against GS at +650.

                    There is value there.

                      Lebron will cement his legacy by beating the best team of all time.

                        i think i need to see Cavs beat them
                        at least once before making a choice.
                        warriors are too stacked with snipers.

                          Don't over think it. GS in 4. If Matthew Dellavedova was still there, CLE could possibly steal 1 or 2 games.

                            Cleveland is the grittier, more physical team,they have the best player in the history of the game, playing the highest level of basketball ever seen. Thompson is an X factor playing at a VERY high level and will give GS everything they can handle and then some. Cleveland has quality depth, and are an overall better team than last year. Someone different stepping up every night. The deadline deals that Cleveland made are paying dividends and this team is peaking at the right time. People will say the east is soft, but this Cleveland team went into a 10-0 Boston and won a game 7. Boston was 10-0 at home and Cleveland went there and got the job done, tightened the screws on defense and won an ugly game. GS won because Houston flat out CHOKED.

                            Something is off with GS, they have poor depth and the narrative that Cleveland is a poor team really isn't matching up with the eye test. I've made more money betting on Cleveland these playoffs than I ever have in my entire life. You can really see Lebron maturing as a leader. This team has been laughably undervalued this entire post season and this series price is incredible value. They might not win.. but they aren't going to roll over and die like last season.. you can take that to the bank.

                              There is no value at +700! Vegas is trying to offset all that Warrors future money they will shell out by suckering you into +700. Before the season started GS was - 200 to win it all. Obviously they don't want any more Warriors money thats why the set them at -1000.

                                      Warriors gonna thump the Cavs again.. Too much fire power, Cavs won't be able to score with them.. Warriors have the home court advantage too...

                                      Cavs and Lebron really up against it... They may win a game at home but that's about it..

                                              Between klay, Curry and KD..there's way too much firepower to contain. Then on the defense Green is a monster. The only X-factor i see here is Andre Iggy (State's best defender on James).
                                              One game the Cavs (especially Korver) will catch fire) but State in 5 sounds right

                                                Just now, +650
                                                Warriors -1000
                                                I got like 200 bucks left to bet, till this weekend
                                                I already got a bunch of money on the Stanley Cup Series
                                                I can't throw two hundred bucks to win 20 on Golden State, it's just worthless
                                                I'm probably going to put it on the golden knights moneyline, later
                                                If I have any left if I win that then I'll probably bet on Golden State by at -12 and a half for the first game
                                                Golden State for 5 games maybe four
                                                Been pretty cold at the NBA lately anyways
