Beyond the my town my team regional cover.  Conspiracy theory?  Maybe.  But ask yourself honestly can you see the league letting LeBron and the Cavs not push this to at least a game 7?  Can you really see another team breaking Cleveland and LeBron's heart on the road to end this year's playoffs?  The line has already steamed to -3.5 -- do you think the books are giving away Warriors money?  The first half ML has steamed 30 cents from open.  If you really want to bet the Warriors you can live bet them when they are down but do you realize what they are going to be up against tomorrow?

Also the game 7 line is already up on 5dimes -- first time they offered a game ahead of time since game 1 of the finals and Warriors are only favored -7.5 and -355 on the ML

Interesting?  Up to you but watching the signs I see what is coming.

I want to recall something LeBron said during the BEGINNING of the season when he decided to return to Cleveland...

Here's the quote:

"I’m not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver. We’re not ready right now. No way. Of course, I want to win next year, but I’m realistic. It will be a long process, much longer than it was in 2010. My patience will get tested. I know that. I’m going into a situation with a young team and a new coach. I will be the old head. But I get a thrill out of bringing a group together and helping them reach a place they didn’t know they could go. I see myself as a mentor now and I’m excited to lead some of these talented young guys."

He knows it, Clev knows it, its gonna be a long process. No way they win it this yr..but Lebron WILL win one for Clev in the near future.

I remember the last 2 seasons ratings would go up when ever Miami Heat would lose a game. Perhaps the public still likes to see Lebron lose more than those who like to see him win. Remember he was the most hated athlete, person or what ever that was. That's quite significant and i don't think he can win over everybody just because he ran back home.

So perhaps it's ok for the league to have him losing, after all ratings are at their highest these finals and the league will be obviously quite happy. Ratings for game 4 and 5 were the highest so far, both GSW victories. I'm not sure what the ratings were for game 2 & 3 compared and if somebody could bring that up that may actually prove to be significant.

The line going down may mean alot of public money going on Cavs - wich isn't necessarily bad for GSW backers. I'm sure there will be many who thinks Lebron will not lose 3 in a row, especially on his home floor & perhaps the line change may indicate that mind set.

Refs are still yet to be revealed. Can't be too confident on any side here.

What a better way to end the finals for vegas than raping the public before they close up shop for the NBA season. If Covers consensus is anywhere near accurate it could be leading that way.

Again, don't touch a thing until you see the ref assignment, Bob. Tread carefully my friend

Cavs just opened at+250 to win it all next year before this series over and Warriors +600 -- no way they leave that price if the Warriors win it all

Yes I can. Kerr had the tools & weapons to make effective adjustments & Blatt doesn't...it's almost that simple. LeBron has shown a ton..just doesn't have enough help. GST finishes it & covers tomorrow & very well could be by dd's.

Warriors are on a mission and will play at a higher level then the Cavs and end their season hoisting the Larry O'Brien!

What are you trying to prove here??

That I have a LIFE that doesn't revolve around covers.com??  That I don't need to start 6 threads currently on the first page of the NBA forum???

That I don't need to start 6 threads, ALL stating the exact same thing??  That the Cavs still have great odds??

You proved a lot

After the Cavs lose tonight, are you going to start threads about next years team?
