Thoughts on Championship...
- Thread starter Speed
- Start date
I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm rooting for lebron.
but when I call my book the words golden state will spew from my fat face. So I guess I will be rooting for golden state. Lol.
All seriousness I just think g-state is to good.
They can get ya in too many ways.
Cleveland is way to reliant on lbj.
g-state in 6.
So far the NBA got what they wanted...LeBron vs. Curry in The Finals. Now we must figure out who the "Powers That Be" want too win the Championship. Trust me the FIX is in & I believe LeBron coming home & winning the Championship in "Title-Starved" Cleveland is exactly what the Association has planned. :yup
Cavaliers in Six(6)

Ok folks, my 2 cents worth!
First, you have the talk of the NBA all season long, the Cavs w/LBJ returning home, the huge line swing from how many wins forecasted before he signed to the odds of the Cadavers winning the NBA Championship, I think IE is the one who posted the change once the Cavs signed LBJ, then it changed again once the Cavs acquired K Love for Wiggy-poo (A dumb trade if you ask me, but it worked for a bit).
Then you have G St who won all these games before Mark Jackson was called a tyrant and bad ass to play for etc, sounds like a panzy ass of an excuse by the upper management if you ask me to get rid of him, all he did and Vinny DelNegro did for their teams was to get them to play to their ability and work their systems, so the Dubs bring in Stevey Kerr (Learned from Bulls guru legend, Phil Jackson and Lute Olson in college), a tv analyst with limited coaching background, to lead/run the Dubs.
As we all know the talent pool for both teams, but the big difference maker for the entire team, the Cavs, is LBJ, as he goes so do the Cavs. Tristan Thompson has played out of his ass in the post-season, filling in nicely for K Love, Kyrie has been banged up, tough Dellyvanilly (kung foo poo kid) has played out of his mind as well, then you have playoff experienced fill-ins, JR Smitty and Iman Shump, Mozgov is a beast w/no experience but he don't need any to cover the centers for the Dubs, and aged vet, Marion will give a few minutes here and there for the Cavs.
Dubs have playoff experience but no championship experience, other than their coach playing and Igoudala getting some w/Philly Sixers in the Iverson years, the Splash brothers are the best backcourt shooting % in the NBA in treyville and 2 ville and FT %. Defensively, G ST at home was a beast, evidenced last night in game 5.
Both coaches have prior experience in championship situations, but not at this level as head coaches, but their overall experience will help their respective teams.
Yeah, we can say, "FIX is in", NBA wants LBJ & Cleveland to win it all, the save Cleveland, the only franchise city not to have a Chumpionship!! Hahaha!! But it's all going to come down to execution folks, who shoots the best and plays the best "D" is going to win the championship.
Two years ago if the Spurs foul Allen instead of him being open for the trey, the Spurs could have beaten the Heat in 6 games, instead of losing in gm 7 to the Heat, but the Spurs got revenge last year.
The money line is very fishy as this should be a pick series. G St had the most wins, but Cleveland is playing the best basketball since the All-Star break. It comes down to momentum! Cavs already beat a #1 seed, but the Hawks as a #1 were not that formidable, they could have lost their first or second round series. G State owned the Rockets except gm 4, where Rockets couldn't miss the bucket! Anyone can have one great game, but to win 4 isn't that easy peezy!
For the money value, I'll take the Cavs getting almost 2 bucks, but the smart value is who really has the better depth, talent and experience as a "TEAM", remember the word "TEAM", something that LBJ learned when the SPURS beat his Heat team LY. Are the Cavs a "TEAM" or are they a one man show? Take LBJ out of the lineup and what chances do the Cavs have at winning any game? Take one of the splash brothers out of the game and what chances do they have vs LBJ and the Cavs?
It's a toughie!
GL on whatever you play!
I'll play it one game at a time!

FWIW: Most of you will already know the head to head scenarios this year, Dubs @ Clev lost 110-99 as 3 pt dogs, and Dubs won @ home as 13 1/2 pt favs 112-94, both games went under the total. Only 2 H2H this season!
Dubs have a slight edge on FG defense, otherwise all def categories are basically even within a percentage pt.

What price are you seeing? It's +185 at 5dimes which is right on the money if you ask me. Especially seeing cavs have no shot against this invincible warriors team.
