i think the Cavs will steal 1 in Golden State like they did in the 1st Finals meetup. i feel like game 1 is the one to do it.. the one where Lebron has historically struggled on the road in game 1's
banking on trend reversal and maybe the reverse of the so called "script".
Sip on that plus money honey!

Series will be 50/50 -- pick a side and stick to it -- probably goes to 7 -- Cavs are dogs most games -- we can ride or die on them and guarantee cash
true it is 50/50 doesn't mean this game can't be hedge-able. and the value is def with the Cavs all series when they'll be underdogs/small favorites at home

can't remember when was the last time we had two teams meet in the Finals for the third straight time.. personally i have never seen two teams meet more than two years in a row. Spurs/Heat, Bulls/Jazz, Lakers/Celtics are the ones i remember off my head anything else is before my time. and i just did a wiki search and it shows that this has never happened before..
as they say, the third movie in the trilogy is usually the worst one. see, the Hangover pt 3. so what are we going to get... another one-sided series in these playoffs where the Warriors make amends for last year's embarassing meltdown and dominate the Cavs in a 4-0 sweep/ 4-1 series romp? OR do we finally get a good playoff series where almost every game will come down to the final two minutes and go to the 7th and final game?

my first thoughts/impressions on the series:

But I believe the Warriors take the first two games at home. I believe with the addition of Durant that will put them over the top. I see the series going maybe six games. Good luck DK

i'm really hoping for something memorable. Here is how i see the series playing out. The Warriors will want to come out in game 1 and make a statement early of course from what happened last year, but that is to be expected. i think the Cavs will withstand the blows like a defending champ usually does and keep it close. the Cavs will take that 35 pt beating back in January as emphasis to not come out and play poorly in the Oracle again. i think 9 days off will effect the Warriors rhythm and shooting more than the Cavs will on 6 days rest.
the Cavs stun the Warriors to take game 1. The Warriors off a bitter game 1 loss will blow out the Cavs in game 2. series tied 1-1 going back to Cleveland. From there anything can happen within the next 2 to 4 games. Warriors could steal 1 in Cleveland which is definitely most likely to even up the series at 2-2 but it would be standard ho-hum boring fair or..... Cavs can win both games at home to take a commanding 3-1 series lead which would be a more intriguing scenario to me. after all, wouldn't it be funny twist of fate that the Warriors after losing 3-1 series lead last year will be the team that comes back from 3-1 deficit again to win the title this year? it won't be called the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history, that will still belong to the Cavs. Warriors have the home field so it can't really be called an upset if they come back and win as the favorite but they could be the 2nd team to come back from 3-1 to win the title. KD finally gets his ring and avenge his title loss during his OKC days
so i got Cavs series price just in case they might do the impossible again, but will wait for the Warriors series price to drop when they are down 3-1 or 3-2 and hope they are decent + money. that is the strategy i am aprroaching this series. GL all.
my prediction: Warriors in 7.

they very well could. i think the psychological edge belongs to the Cavs, early on but the Warriors will find way to overcome the humiliating finals loss and get stronger as the series goes on and defeat the defending champs. i also predict an injury to a major player will occur on the Cavs side that will turn the tide in the series in Warriors favor.
