    Draymond should be practicing an open 15 foot jumper or floater, the shot Cleveland is giving him every time down the court.

    I think I'm going to take Cavs +9.5 and will target Tristan Thompson rebounds over as well. He hasn't been a big factor offensively, but has been consistently killing the boards all season. What do y'all like?

    I think the books have spoken again. The line is exactly what I thought it would be (GSW -4.5), but that's begging hard for people to bet on Cleveland.

    Will probably target Lebron prop's again. ATS is tricky in this series for Cleveland against GS (Cavs were covering 9.5 spread for 46 of the 48 minutes in the last game :mad:) but you gotta think Lebron will go out fighting.

    Am I crazy for thinking Cleveland could maybe still win this series? Everyone seems to be talking about it like its an over, done deal (so does Vegas, who has GS odds to win at (-1100)) but if Cleveland can force a game 7 than anything is possible.

    I'm not a major gambler at all. But I asked my friend what the odds were for Cavs to win game 6 & 7 and he said +750. What do you guys think?

    I don't think it's likely, but stuff happens. Warinka beat Nadal. The Colts beat the Broncos. Ohio St destroyed Oregon. Except for the CFB final, those other underdog wins were just as unlikely according to many odds makers, but happened. Oh yeah, and Houston came back to beat LAC.

    I think the NBA probably wants a game 7. So maybe they will start calling the screens on Warriors or maybe call some of the times lebron gets hacked.

    Lol, great analysis. I knew gsw was a lock to win when I saw this.

    Vegas made a killing off of all the people who thought like the poster above and kept pouring in money on Cleveland because they thought they were getting "value", smh.

    I'm still waiting for robbie the remedial basketball student to check in. The guy would always pick the Pacers to beat the Heat in the playoffs back when they had LBJ. He would conveniently wait until the Pacers took the lead in the series to do so and would still get embarrassed as Miami came back and won every single post-season, lol. The guy is great fade material.

    I know nothing about the history of his predictions, nor can anyone say what would have, could have happened.

    But clearly he, and everyone else who made their predictions before game 1, weren't expecting Kyrie Irving to leave the series after 1 game.

    Either way it was ridiculous for anybody to say Cavs in 5 just like he waited for Indy to take a lead in the series against Miami in the past before predicting they would beat the Heat.

    Yeah, even with Kyrie. Heck, even with Love, I still would have picked the Warriors in 7... but no one will ever know what might have happened.

    Yes sir, there's a vocal minority on here that will hate every chance they get, but they are nowhere to be found when credit is due. Their silence has always condemned them. I dedicate this to the haters.
