Like i said, i believe in fix, rig, conspiracy in the game, or whatever you call it, but you cannot tell when and how.
I also include the rig, fix, etc. When capping, that is why majority of the time, when i cap, before i lock it down, public % perception or consensus or whatever sources i can get to know where the public money is, or public perception will fall.
If my team to bet is also against the public, that i feel more confident.
And hey, remember, the players are also human, what if the warriors are too confident and say hey, we can live with that losing in game 6, it is much better to win at home in game 7? But not knowing the are slowly letting their guard down, they can do more in game 6 if this is last year, if they are not the defending champs, if they are the hungrier team.
I am not saying this is their mentality, but hey subconsciously you can never tell, you are way too comfortable leading 3 1, accomplishing things in reg. Season, the new boys who are ruling the nba, the defending champs, what else?
You can see the body language of curry, thompson, different than last year, now they are entitled to step up their bragging rights, swag, a little more, they deserve it and they earned it.
But if a lot of people expect you to win, and you are on top of the world, pressure hunts you, when you say a word or do something controversial, it is much different when you got nothing to lose vs you got nothing to lose... yes its difficult to handle, specially if this the first time you experience that.
But along the way i am sure, guys will discover some antidote in order to overcome the consequences of their actions.
Some people pump them up when they brag, when they fight back, when they stand up for themselves, but this depends on the situation if the situation is an advantage to your side then good.
But if not, you should be an expert to counter that consequences that may affect your game, you should be experience.
And time will only give you that experience.
Just like lebron, it takes long to finally capture the championship for his home town.
Just like lebron said, steph curry performance this season is out of this world, and i agree, never seen a point guard like him who makes highlights after highlights every game i the reg season and some playoffs game.
But the hungrier team won.
Not the perfect story, when doubters increased like i said before, thats the time things happen.
When you root for the perfect story to happen, it never happen, just like last season, the perfect story is as soon as lebron went back to cavs, armed with experience and the blue print to make it happen, it didnt happen.
A warriors team came out of nowhere and won it all.
