Could it be this simple? Surely not.......



Play:

GSW -5.5

Ref stats become even more prominent in the finals - of course we run w/ it. Mauer is one of the biggest crooks in the league - look at the guy he looks like his straight out of a Godfather movie. If this loses we double up gm2.

Cavs have showed nothing but dominance in the post season.. I have bet on GSW to win it all as their team is playing on an elite level right now. But as for game 1 I certainly do believe cavs will win simply because GSW is coming off a hard fight versus OKC (7 games) where cleveland had it really easy in the ECF. Having said that, Lebron is being questioned if he is the face of the NBA, and that his team who have showed nothing but dominance are the underdogs... his comments to that were "thats stupid" I certainly do believe GSW will win the entire series but there is no doubt in my mind that the CAVS will get a split after these 2 games. If it doesn't hit today than game 2 it will definitely hit! My bet would be to bet 7 units on this game and 11 units on game 2. This year I'm up $32 300, just giving my input for those of y'all who've lost big! Cheers!

LET'S GO, WARRIORS!

good luck

The bomber en FUEGO!!!!   

Regardless of the ref assignments,if kerr starts with barnes i could see a cle victory.Bar vs lebron is a nightmare matchup.The golden man can't simply hold hold his own and allow him at last 30pps...

I like GS tonight

3BB, thank you so much for your plays.

that's awesome! i'm happy for ya mate.

i'm quite excited w/ these finals. i have a very good feel atm

But in all honesty what did this have to do with the refs? Cavs went to the line 10 more times than the Warriors.

GSW -5.5 

So i've been getting alot of feed back after that gm1 Warriors win on how Bad Cavs looks & how good GSW were and now deem Cavs useless. Some are even saying GSW may sweep or take out Cavs in 5.

Vegas i'm sure feast on these overreactions and are salivating for game 2. The public perception, after game 1, is that GSW are by far the better team. I mean how could you not when the bench beat the entire Cavs team, imagine how good they'll be when Curry & Klay start making more 3's, right.

Well......It's only 1 game folks. It's not much sample size to determine anything, let alone have Cavs only winning 1 game in this series. I would not be surprised at all if Cavs take this next game. Cavs takes gm2 and then public perception switches back to the idea that Cavs do have a better shot than they had thought.

So i'm most def leaning Cavs for game 2. All we have to wait on now is ref assignment and see if those stats don't support our lean

I couldn't agree with that any more. Before the finals started the public perception was Lebron and co will have a decent shot at the championship. Last year in this same matchup without Kyrie and Love they lost but this year everyone is healthy. They thought the Cavs getting 6 in the first game was a healthy amount of points. I like you took GSW hard. Now that the "perception" has been switched towards GSW the Cavs will win ats in the next game and will have a really good chance to win straight up. I'll be on the Cavs no matter who the refs are. But great insight and I thank you for all your plays. It has been a successful playoffs thus far. Let's finish strong 3BB

Also just realized the Cavs lost game 1 last year and ended up winning games 2 & 3. Really confident Cavs will cover if not win Game 2. Then the Warriors steal home court back by winning a game in Cleveland. Should go 6-7 games. Love all the media talk about how the Cavs struggled and the Dubs looked so dominant.....

Heavily leaning Cavs also......If Ref stats support this it just means i go a little heavier on them. But i always must consider the stats, it's been money for me especially since the Con. Finals.

It seems to be a popular conclusion/interpretation after game 1 results. I'm loving it also & if our instincts are correct we may have another winner.

Keep in mind also Lebron historically has a bad record gm1's in finals but bounces back well in gm2's. IF you add in ref stats potentially supporting a Cavs play & it could be pretty special
