    So the spread is +3.5 as everyone knows but a closer look at the 1st quarter and 1st half lines are revealing if not odd.

    1st half is a pick for me and the 1st quarter actually has cle favored by half a point

    I guess the books assume cle jumps out to an early lead but knows there's always a chance gsw goes on a patented 20 point run sometime or anytime in the game?

    Ref crew is somewhat in favor of cle. Mike Malloy and Kenny mauer lean slightly in gsw favor based on the spread but Monty effing McCutcheon has a staggering 2 to 1 ratio in favor of cle tonight

    Also Kenny mauer is perhaps one of the best if not the best ref at fixing games without blatant obviousness

    Gotta think cle is gonna come out firing so cle 1q and cle 1h. Maybe under for both as well assuming they actually try and play d

    Well Golden State was at Cleveland on Christmas Day I think? Opening line was G.S -2.5

    And we know how rigged that game was It's all about who the zebras want to win. Plain and simple.

    Atlanta scoring 40 in the 4th earlier this year... hawks coming back from 20 against Houston in Houston. and my favorite, warriors/spurs game 1

    That warriors/Spurs game was ridiculous... even know kawhi got injured but Spurs couldn't hold on a 25 point lead???

    Ref association came out and admitted they blew the last call against durant in the final seconds of play. Funny, I didn't see them offering to pay gsw tickets for that mistake.

    Kenny mauer and company much more clever than to make a controversial call in the waning seconds. If there is anything its gonna be in the mid quarters and done in order to promote/prevent momentum which kills or triggers runs

    Cavs ML the play? I like under also, cavs should have discussed pace of play past two days and try to slow it down.

    Shady, if you believe the fix is in (not illogical with the quality of NBA refs) there's only one way to go--Cleve ML. The refs have no interest in helping G St sweep. Everyone benefits if the series goes more than 4, maybe even 7.

    Books play this game every big game....NFL-NBA-MLB

    They keep the line at a few points to get action on both sides

    IMA ...The line should be GSW -10 to -13

    Cle ml the only play? Why isn't it conceivable that either team wins on a buzzer beater?

    Is it entirely out of the realm of possibilities that cle blows a big lead they held for most of the game only to win or lose at the buzzer and then promptly get destroyed in game 4?

    That just means books aer thinking cleveland is not deep enough and that lebron and co will get gassed out. But the crowd can recharge them. never know in nba

    Has to be clev or nothing tonight from a side perspective if you believe there is any rigging going on.

    I'm on clev +. Not based on rig but I know that at least won't go against me.

    To me it's Cavs ML or no play, and I'm leaning no play. NBA has been a sh%t rigged product this year but this is The Finals and GSW might be having none of that rigging garbage. They're shooting to be the first team in history to sweep the playoffs 16-0. If the Warriors win tonight it's a huge bet for GSW on Friday, this would be their chance for immortality.

    I just want to see LeBron quit, like Harden did in Game 6.

    Shady any theories on the rigging for this series?

    It's 3-0 now.

    NBA and both teams losing tens of millions in the process.

    Made shot here, missed shot there. That's basketball. Players dictate their own fate.
