---------------------------------------------------

Like i do for most officiating crew i disregard the least important 3rd ref & focus on the top 2. Either way you put it the stats aren't very compelling. Usually if there was to be bias on one side the stats would lead that way. Tonight i anticipated the stats to be skewed towards Lebron & the Cavs.

So again we find ourselves in an interesting situation. I was heavily leading on Cavs but it seems officiating does not convincingly support it tonight. I've followed ref stats in these circumstances and have been successful each time.......so i guess why go against it now.

Play:

GSW +1.5

Again, obviously i'm not confident w/ the play as we are yet again blindly following ref statistics. I did like Cavs to take this game 3 but on the flip i would imagine public perception would be on the Cavs not dropping their first game at home in this finals.....surely they win this one, right?! So far we've been against the public (i believe?). Today will be no different. I'm on a 20-2 run & 2-0 in the finals.....we continue to follow what's been successful in the last 4 playoffs/finals now

Public on dubs heavy 60/40. Perception is that without love, the dubs will take game 3. It's evident in the numbers brotha. I think you may be on the wrong side, unless they lose by 1. 

Your ref stance is moot considering what happened to the Cavs when foster was reffing. Regardless of who the ref is, I don't think it matters at this point. If it's supposed to be a team winning, whichever ref that is on duty, they will make sure of that. At this point in the season with all that is on the line, there will not be outstanding, over helming evidence that you can find from refs history that will definitively point you in a specific direction.

How is the public on the dubs when the line has moved to the Cavs being favorites?

Almost 80% on covers seems to be on Cavs as well

Cavs

We may have a chance now since klay thompsons dumb behind got hurt. Wow he's so bad

Wish u had kept your cavs lean tonight, NBA is not going to let LeBron go down 3-0 

20-2 streak going w/ ref stats including several situations where i would have lost had i not gone w/ the stats, including just a game ago. I regret nothing. Still a second half to be played

I was fooled by the line.  After two blowout losses team still favored 1.5 points, blatantly pointing at cavs direction

3ball,

I call bluff. I don't believe you anymoreyou wouldn't be dumb enough to fade my 5 unit pick which has never lost

But I bet if you donate some of those $1000s to the homeless then you'll start winning

My last post is not for OP but for the guy who loses 1000s in play money every day and cries about it. Lol

I don't understand why you took GS yesterday. Refs stats weren't really favoring any team in particular, close to 50/50. And you took the warriors even after previously saying that you liked the cavs and that even if the refs stats were to favor warriors you would fade and still take the cavs, then you end up taking warriors why?

3ball- could you post ref stats before you crash tonight? I found a site with ref statistics but it seems to differ from yours.

I appreciate you bud. Thank you again 

This is a great example of why 2 heads are better than one. You thought game 3 was tricky, while I thought it was one of the easiest plays yet this post season.

So, one games I find tricky and you find easy (during your hot run) we could maximize profits somehow, if we can understand the strength's of each others plays.

For instance yesterday you might of noticed I had a 5 unit post for Cavs ML. I've never lost a 5 unit post, so you'd figure if you were not sure yourself, you could follow someone who was. And vice versa.

Just a thought for you, it works for me. If I am having a trouble on a game I will seek info from someone who does understand the situation better than I do.
