I?m freaking SCARED!

:scared:scared:scared:scared:scared:scared:scared:scared:scared

But I expected nothing less then the matchup we have now for it all.

He?s going to be a tough out to beat back to back in the finals.

This is the guy that took them 6 with a guy named Dellavedova.

It?s going to be a helluva series. Buckle up it?s going to be a bumpy ride :142smilie

He may have had Dellavedova, but more importantly, he had arguably the best guard on the planet. Kyrie! Losing him is a tremendous loss. Without Kyrie, the Cav's will have a lot of trouble defending the two headed monster in Curry and Thompson. Great guards win championships. And if by chance they can stop those two, they'll have to contain KD. A monumental task. This series will depend on how focused the Warriors are at winning another. If they are at their best, it goes no more than 5 games.

He didn?t have Kyrie in the 2015 NBA finals. In the end, with all the injuries weren?t they down to like an 7-8 man roster. And the Cavs were up 2 games to 1 beforethey lost.

I don?t know what?s wrong with KD. Maybe he?s in a slump. I think GS is a better team when Steph is running the show but they seem to be putting it in KDs hands.

If GS loses this series I will not give them ?it?s because they weren?t focused? theory. With all the talent they have they should be able to do this without taking a shower in the morning

I can't figure out what's up with KD either. They've changed the chemistry somewhat. Andre out, Zaza not playing, Magee not playing. Those were all the components to last year's championship team. I think he should've played Magee in the Houston series. He's a shot blocker, rim protector, rebounder. All of which they needed. And he's a better offensive option than Looney and Bell.

KD is in a slight slump. We'll see what he does in the first two games of the series. But as far as the focused thing, Wilbon was alluding to this very thing that I said yesterday. The Warriors go through the motions at times, no focus, then turn it on when they need it. Like the 3rd quarter or the 6th or 7th game of the series. They don't have anyone with that killer instinct. Like Jordan. Jordan made sure that they crushed every team each and every night. He always stepped on their throats if he could. So did Kobe. There is no one like that on this Warrior team. They play hard when they need to play hard. They were fortunate to get out of the last round alive. I love watching them, but I made a bet on the Rockets to win it all. They had that killer instinct for a good part of this year.

Totally agree. I was saying this every game...I was rest assured that if they lost the Hou series it was cuz Andre didnt play....Andre is a big component to this Dubs team....

Huge. He will be re-evaluated for gm2. I think the Cavs steal one of the first two. Wish I knew for sure if Iggy was sitting game two as well.

I also like the fact the Cavs have had some time to rest.

The Cavs getting 13 in gm1? Is that a friggin joke?

Cavs +13
Cavs ml +650

I've learned to never bet against this Warriors team. They are hard to figure out. Down by 17 in Game 6 and you were getting +13 and thinking it was a lock to win that bet. They crushed them and +13 was a loser. They can outscore a team by 20 points in literally 3 minutes or less. Very unpredictable.....

They played twice this year with GS winning both games by a combined 15 points. I believe both games were also tied going into the final 2-4 minutes of the game. They both know their X?s and O?s. Trust me I understand your reasoning I just see it as a possible chance to make a little cash. Not playing for anything that will have a negative impact on my life.

If you ask me people that play the lotto are donating their money on a nightly basis. I KNOW my odds are better to get a win then theirs :142smilie

I get ya. I wasn't trying to talk you out of it. I just know that I like the Warriors a lot and I'd be pissed if I bet getting 13 points then watched them comeback from being 17 points down to winning by 19 or something like that. Because I know I'd be rooting for them to actually do it. I want to see Clev get buried. My gut tells me that they'll steal one at Golden State....

Through this years playoffs LBJ has pretty much sat passive in Game 1,to me trying to figure out how the opponent is game planning for them and figuring out his own plan of attack.They haven't come out trying to dictate anything,for that reason I'm on Gold St and the under.Gold st defends the perimeter unlike the Cavs and Durant matches up with LBJ but he doesn't do the same at the other end.He will switch of making TT try and guard him.Gold st in 5 maybe even a sweep but hoping for a Cavs miracle just don't see it happening.

Yeah I hate betting gm 1?s. If I knew Iggy was going to be out for gm2 I may have waited. I?m hoping the Cavs step up and not want to play from behind in this series. I think the media has given them a little ammo these past 3 days :shrug:
