So game 3 is a pick em......who ya got?

The line is out at even money?

This seems like a classic where everyone will load up their trailer payments on the Warriors, and Vegas rakes up

Seems like the classic bet I'd fall for every time.

in reality, I picked GS in 5, assumed they'd win 1 at CLE. I just don't know which one, so at even money, it's not really worth the 50/50 play. If CLE was an underdog in this game, it would probably be worth the play for the points based on my thought of CLE winning 1 at home.

Im guessing this is what Vegas is thinking:

Golden state won two games at home. Great. They only lost 1 game in the playoffs at home(were up 13 at one point) and won 54 games in a row at home this year. They should be up 2-0

The cavs looked great at home and shite on the road against Toronto.

It seems crazy when you first see the line, but I guess it isnt?

It is just hard to imagine the Cavs winning

I don't think Cleveland is good enough to beat the Warriors. IMO it will be a sweep.

GSW.

Cleveland jumps out to a big lead early with the home crowd behind them, but Steph and Klay finally go off in the Finals and the Warriors come back to go up 3-0.

Before the series started, I could see Cleveland playing above their heads and winning game 3.

But seeing their body language and effort halfway though game 2 has me rethinking that. Curry and Thompson haven't even really showed up yet and they are still blowing the Cavs off the court.

The Warriors have been so good about capitalizing when their foot is on a team's throat. Winning this game effectively ends the Finals. I could see Curry having an MVP night and putting this season to bed.

But yeah betting this game makes me pretty nervous and if I wasn't trying to recoup some losses id probably just lay out.

Want me to look up some GA meeting for you? Sounds like you could use some.

Dubs win game 3

CLE wins game 4 to avoid the broom

Dubs party with Larry after game 5 back home.

I'd put money on Cleveland tonight. Cavs will take the trophy 4-1

They also had the best road record in NBA history.


Look at GS losses this year with Steph-- they basically only happen when they run into a team with long elite athletes at at least 4 positions-- the Warriors aren't an elite athletic team this isn't peak Heat, what they are is the best skills and team cohesion team of all time.

Hell they even lost to relatively crappy teams that had tons of athletes- Boston, Minnesota, etc but if you try and beat them with strategy and skills you're getting run out of the gym.
