JEFF SAGARIN RATINGS

GSW 100.29+2.4(home court)
CLE 96.39
Predicted spread GSW-6.3

SAGARIN *RECENT* RATINGS

GSW 100.77+2.4
CLE 101
Predicted spread GSW-2.17

I just like to look at his ratings for reference. His #'s usually come as close to the actual spread as it gets.

One thing that is always the same is his home court #. I've heard that oracle could be worth anywhere from 2.5 to 5 points.
Anyone have an opinion about oracle, or better yet someone who's been there for games.

Cap hard my friends

Aside from Lebron, who on that staff has finals experience?   Oh I forgot, Steve Kerr never spent time near an NBA finals.[/Quote]

I'm talking about players executing in crucial moments. I'm taking LeBron's ability to get good looks over the Splash Brothers jacking up wild jump shots.

... The fact the you call Steph and Klays shots "Wild" goes to show you have know idea what you're talking about.

Does anybody think the Warriors will come out flat for game 1? Does anybody think both teams come out flat for game 1??

already put my bet in for the Under 203, also leaning 103.5 Under 1st half but i don't know seems like Dubs are still capable of putting up enough points and the Cavs as well to go Over the amount.
Sip on that plus money honey!

alot of NBA Finals 1st half game 1's have gone under 103.5. 

since 1990 only 4 games have gone over the 103 mark. that would be the Lakers/Bulls in '91, Blazers/Bulls in '92, Rockets/Magic in '95 and Lakers/Sixers in '01. there have been a few games that barely reached the 100 mark(101,103 etc) but the rest of game 1's have never reached triple digits. 

that's 4 games out of 25!! 
Sip on that plus money honey!

the favorite is 11-4 SU in the last 15 Finals game 1's. 

Lebron is 1-4 SU in the last 5 Finals game 1's.

LBJ is much different in public then private and will be taking blame for them losing to GS but behind the scenes he'll be making excuse after excuse. He thinks he's a one man show including being the coach. Just my opinion but do think the warriors will take the championship fairly easy..The Cavs will get a better shot in the future if they get lucky enough to get his son on the team when he comes to the NBA and that kid is a phenom. BOL with whoever you bet on as I have GS for the title on a small play but won't be betting a single game in the series. Kinda hope the Cavs prove me wrong but I just don't see it happening.

...wow,thats really forward planning,aint his son like 12 years old???.....so now we know the real reason the cavs bought lebron back....just so they can get the inside running on drafting his child..

Nobody can guard lebron. Lebron can guard Curry during crunch time. Lebron being able to basically guard anybody on the floor makes the defense rotations so much better for the cavs.

I think this is extremely under rated. Lebron and shumpert will make it tough for the splash bros during crunch time. It will take a balanced scoring scoring attack (ala the Spurs) to take down the Cavs.

Wish I would of jumped on the Cavs +6.5 when I had the chance....already down to 5.5
