My thoughts are why couldn't they play this series without having the playoffs stretch on for 2 months before the inevitable. Chalk from the get go.

And I'll take the Cavs. In basketball, the best player will win the majority of the time. Although I prefer Curry's game in terms of entertainment but the truth is Lebron could drive everytime at will.

I'll take the Cavs, on the spreads. They should get some points.

If Kyrie is healthy it's close but I'd say Warriors in 7. If he looks like he did the last few times he's played the Warriors win in 6.

The Series goes 7 games. LeBron vs. The MVP whose every 3pointer sets an NBA record (59 3's in 13 games surpassing record of Reggie Miller 58 in 22 games) this is a fantastic $$$ making opportunity for TV with NBA. fans love offense & Superstars battling. TV could not ask for more in a series and I doubt those in charge of Sports Programming at The Network have wanted anything more desperately than 7 games of this.

Btw, when I last checked Stephen Curry wrapping up his 6th NBA Season with 1191 Three-Pointers was just 54 Three-Pointers behind his dad Dell Curry's total of 1245 3-Pointers which he accomplished over 16 seasons.

After betting the series to go 7 all we need to do is correctly figure who wins covers each game + totals. I'd say
Gm1: GS+Under, Gm2: CLE+Over, Gm3: GS+Over, Gm4: CLE+Under Gm5:CLE+Over, Gm6: GS+Over, Gm7: CLE+Over.

Not sure the Cavs can slow Golden State down enough...

Yeah I hear ya I am totally unsure of that. I don't mean to imply "fixx" by any stretch of the imagination rather subtle encouragement that this series go the limit but on it's surface "how?" is an excellent question. Seems like it should be GS in 6 (at the most). Thus am I more interested in others thoughts than my own very prolly deluded illusion.

why not? J.R Smith and Shumpert have been unreal. Everyone hates Delladova and Lebron....sounds pretty fitting for a villain here.

Did you see Korver? Lol na we didn't because the Cavs and Lebron put the clamps down. He could barely get a shot off. Which is why they played much better without Korver because the entire offense wasn't set up for a double screen to Korver that was going to get shutdown by a supreme athlete. Now given Steph probably has the quickest release in the league and the faced paced play of G st will create open looks but...Golden St is still small compared to Cleveland's length. If Cleveland get back on D and make it a half court battle then Cleveland will win. Lebron will be an underdog where he is 1-0 in the NBA finals compared to 1-2 as the series favorite.

well he did get swept by the spurs in his 1st finals app. so it is 1-1 as an underdog.


I think they will make this series go 7 games honestly. They haven't rigged many this year with the new commish. I respect Adam Silver but this series might be too big to pass up. We will see.

11 points in the NBA in the middle of 3rd is hardly a beat down. Golden st needs to win to stop embarrassing basketball.

It's over until Game 5. Then the Warriors win by 20 as Houston will be high and they know it is over. The NBA fixed Game 4 so people like me don't laugh at it for the farce it is.
