    I'm super confident Cavs win this series, and not just saying it because Im a Cavs fan. I actually put a decent chunk on the Bulls to beat the Cavs in the East semis so Im not a homer. People rag on the Eastern Conference, but one coukd argue the Cavs dismantled two teams (Bulls and hawks) better than any team the Warriors have beaten. the Cavs have ROLLED and I mean ROLLED through the conference (12-2 record in the playoffs), and they have done it without Kyrie and Love. This is just absurd... LeBron is playing the best basketball of his career (LeBron himself has said this as recently as 2 days ago), and Kyrie will be as healthy as he has been in months.

    Even with home court advantage, I can't see Golden State being more than even money, Im sorry, I just dont see it. Warriors have had an easier road to the finals than CLE has. Yup you heard it right. Rockets play no defense, Memphis has no offense, Pellies had the worst coach in the NBA and one great player.

    The Cavs are the better team! Getting +200 at some books is a GIFT!!!!!! Take it Bear dont look back!!!

    Come on man... You have acknowledged not only being a Cavs fan but also that you hate the Warriors. You've made like 15 different threads about the Cavs since the finals matchup has been set. Maybe this is in character and just fits with the way you post but that screams homerism to me. I've always thought people toss around the "homer" thing too much but the way you've been posting the last week makes it very hard to believe the fan in you hasn't taken over.

    The Bulls and especially the Hawks are not better than the Rockets/Grizz too... Not even close.

    LOLLL...Bulls/ATL are nowhere fukin near as good a Memphis and Houston. Comparing their respective paths is ridiculous. The pelicans would have given ATL a good series for gods sake. This is one of the easiest paths LeBron has ever had, and that's saying a lot when you're taking into account last year, 2007, and basically every fukin year in the East.

    lol no need I believe you its just that Bovada deals different lines to different players. The line you see on SBR odds is not necessarily the odds you see when logging in.

    Line is somewhat inflated due to public perception of potential Warriors blowout in any given game.

    Really? Do they give personalized lines? Or is it like a regional thing

    Yes they shade the lines against your betting style, especially if you like favorites.
