I've already bet big on GS to take title over a week ago, I just can't see Cavs winning it for reasons I've said my reasoning in other threads and I'll reiterate them later. Cavs will be around +220 range but I'm my opinion they should be realistically around +300 because that's how much better I feel GS is over them. cavs without Love have very little shot vs a legit team, if they played in west without Love they get bounced in first round. Yes, first round.  They wouldn't of been a number 2 seed in the West, and frankly they could of been bounced in 2nd round if east if foster didn't 'overlook blatts timeout' in game 4, bulls would of won that game and been up 3-1 in series but that's over and done with... Anyways, if Cavs somehow win the title, it will go fine as one of the biggest upsets in last 15 to 20 years in the NBA finals. Imo it's FOOLS GOLD, to bet them thinking you have value at +220 or whatever their line will be.

Not even close dude..The best player in the game is LeBron James..Golden State is the better team and should win the series, but your statement is incorrect..You can't ever count out the best player in a sport as superstar dominant as basketball..

GS way bettor coach, GS lightening speed, GS incredible outside range, Curry best shooter in history, GS best passing team in the League = Cavs getting crushed (like LeBron did in last yrs Finals). Warriors win 1st Championship in 40 years.

Cavs can and will beat GSW. Lebron is one of the greatest players of all time and on mission to win Cleveland a title. Curry is a great player but no championship experience. Hard for a newer team with no experience in finals to just know all the tricks. Lebron been there and he has no problem playing on that stage. Other players like Bogut, Barnes, etc have not played on the big stage and could fall to pressure.


actually ive done very well these playoffs.. all you do is take the cavs as heavy favorites.

you act like the Cavs have all this playoff experience... Aside from LBJ who out of their 'heavy minute' players have championship experience?? James Jones and Perk ok fine but they suck and shouldnt get many minutes anyway.   GS will be just fine, they have had tougher tests in the playoffs last couple years than these cavs players have aside from James.

Curry has had the better season overall (you cant deny that) and possibly the overall better playoff performance thus far. Im not saying Curry is better than lbj but for this year it is very debatable.  LBJ is awesome, no question about that but this team is worse than the miami team that he  got crushed with last season. He again, will have to do SOOOOOO much for this team to even get close to beating GS and Kryie will have to be near 100% for Cavs to have a shot.

Op, I agree.

And to add to that I have one question to support your point:

Can anyone here see JR Smith....JR MOflockin' SMITH!!!, a castaway off the worst Knicks team in their history, hoisting an NBA title????


If that day ever comes....good god....

Without even getting into what kind of chance the Cavs have, you state that GS is so much better that Cleveland should be +300. How is +300 one of the biggest upsets in the last 15 years?

why is that so confusing? first of all i said ONE of the, not the biggest upset in past 15 years. I cant think of many bigger upsets that have happened in the nba finals in past 15 years can you? Pistons beating Lakers is prob number 1, then after that?

No one's pointed out that JR Smith, Shumpert AND Priogioni-- all Knick cast-offs-- all went to the NBA conference finals in the same year.   Perhaps there was something wrong with the Knicks, not those players.  JR Smith is being used perfectly by Cleveland.  And he's showing up.  Would Curry have had the same year with the Knicks?  Warriors are simply a better team than Cleveland.  LBJ is simply the best player.  But he is wearing down.  Oddly he'll get nine days off for the finals.

Warriors will win.  But they the Cavs will have a healthy Kyrie back.

Fair enough, I didn't interpret your post to be restricted to the NBA Finals. I agree there are very few upsets in the NBA Finals.

Tristan Thompson > Kevin Love 

Love's injury was a blessing in disguise.
