thsts a loaded question if love to answer but I don't think many would believe me in how I answer the question. I'm gonna leave it alone. Let's just say, it starts and ends with the dubs, especially going up against this overrated Spurs team. The refs have been awful so far but I'm not overly surprised. The dubs aren't moving the ball and that has nothing to do with the Spurs. Spurs backers can tell me otherwise but this is all about the dubs just going through the motions. Let's see if the dubs are playing possum. Up 2-0....something tells me the dubs may pick it up a bit.....Kalyn Thompson and Kevin Durant time

All the crappy, soft foul calls.....and dubs are still up 9. Do we see a 1.5 pt spread or a pick em here for the second half bet? Great tactical work to get it to 9 which sets the books up. I had a feeling the dubs would make a run.

This game is about to get out of hand. I can smell it. 4 days rest for the dubs and blood is in the water people.

I am wearing Steph shirt right now to enjoy the game. Lol btw do u think the Cavs is way too much overrated with -15 points? I knew they swept Celtics but i tend to feel they hold back at home (kinda paradoxical)

Notice....this is the same dubs we saw that started the game. Same refs too. Dubs need to end this game in the next 3 minutes. Not sure why mike brown has curry on the bench. I expect him to be back after this timeout. Well rested....time to hammer another into the coffin here.

I know it's a square approach and I know it's joining the public, which I can't stand doing but tonite I see a team in the dubs just as desperate as the spurs to win this game. I said win but for the dubs, I think they are still going to try to prove a point.....not to the cavs but to the world that regardless if the spurs had Kawhi or not, they want to demolish the spurs. The disrespect the dubs probably feel after the media said kawhi= spurs maybe beating the dubs hasn't subsided and especially after the shalacking the cavs gave the celts, do we see a big statement game again? This game comes down to the dubs and how much they want to win by. The books are happy in that they've got about 37% of the money for spurs spread so I feel like they believe it's a win for them if the dubs dominate. Again, those 9.5 points are tough to pass up but pop doesn't play the games. He wear a suit coat without a tie and he coaches. If this were a home game, I'd actually say the dubs get a bit complacent but the dubs got on a plane and they can smell the finals a few days away. Let's see if we can continue our "W" train voyage here and keep her going in the right direction. 


Warriors -9.5 FULL GAME 


GL ALL

Another W with the dubs full game spread.  This game should never have been close but I get it. It's a Saturday....we gotta keep the viewer....but why even play these games? Let's just fast forward to the finals please. The "W" train is a steaming ahead! Let's see if we can continue to keep her motoring in the right direction! 


46-28 playoffs now

Bob- make that 2-5 now with Monty.  Dubs and Cavs are on a crash course in about a week or so. Can't wait.

I came across something very interesting. If Cavs win by more than 21, the odds are +155. Wowsers.

Thanks for sharing your winner earlier yesterday brotha. Good karma is giving you winners for sharing 

Sounds like you're leaning Cleveland based on some of your replies today. Cleveland or no bet?

46-28 playoffs

I love this line and even though the teams aren't anywhere close to being competitive against one another, will we see some antics tonite? The Cavs have been in 5th gear crushing and at the right time considering they are about a week away from their third straight trip to the finals. Lebron is going for history tonite and IT has been summoned to sit by many. Homecourt was "lost" by the Cavs to this Celtics team and now up 2-0 the Cavs bring the Celtics into Cleveland. I ask this question: does it make any sense at this this stage in the playoffs to take the Celtics lightly even though IT isn't playing? Do you think lebron is going to let up tonite? What about the bench players that never get any minutes? Don't you think they ball out considering they will probably get valuable minutes in the finals where every man will be needed against the dubs? Why put a governor on a Ferrari that is going 200 right now? I ask this becuase there is nothing the Celtics can do tonite to cover this spread. The ones who have total control are th Cavs. They will decide. We've seen the antics with the Cavs before in these type games but the Cavs have been relentless. The Cavs have given the middle finger to the league and the books by destroying everything in sight. Or wait.....maybe this is all part of the plan? Hmmmmm. 17 is a lot of points but the books know that people will feel this way. It's a historic line and with that, do you think with all the notches the Cavs and lebron have been placing on their belts, they won't want to make this theirs too? Nobody has yet to give any valid reasons on taking the Celtics. I just hear about the backdoor cover. Well.....I have a plan tonite and I hope it works. I'm going to go with the Cavs thinking that they will want to get out fast if there is any feeling of sitting guys- so I will go with them the first 24 minutes here. Let's see if we can keep the "W" train a rollin in the right direction with this one. 


Cavs -11.5 FIRST HALF
