Not only that, Lebron leaves Miami and they go from NBA Finalist to a lottery team.  He joins Cleveland and they go from lottery team to NBA Finalist.

Is he saying that bettors are betting more on Cavs than Warriors?

Long writeup on main post but not your best. I don't love your arguments, and I dont like You miss the fact how better Cavs team looks this year as a team and individually, and their chemistry. They are much better this year. Anyway I will follow your pick.

Didn't say it was the best. But it is the longest.


Kudos to you for following.

(200 posts aided heavily by The Great Debate!)


At the end of the game, we toast, on the snow capped tip of Mt. Fuji.

Yes, and other sites have even the spread money favoring the Cavs.

Settle it at this: they are both or will be both equally as successful. Who won what and at what stage of their career is endlessly debatable because it's two different eras. Mj performed above his time. Lebron performed right in accordance with his time. If he didn't look to pass as much. He'd be right up there with point performance. If Lebron was in Jordan's era. He'd be lookin out to prove his point performance too. Different league now. More amount of of overall good shooters. Mm played to his stature because of the position of idolization he was in. Lebron know there are atleast 5 other players with around the same talent. Different approach altogether.

On second thought, it might be better to go with the public.

You didn't just call Chris Bosh a SUPER-star did you? 

We've gone over the edge...way over.

Feels like a Goddamn heavy weight boxing rematch.  Can't wait.

If it's Tyson Spinks with the Cavs playing Spinks, you can wait.

Scal - it's incredible how clueless the oddsmakers or "sharps" have been during these NBA playoffs.  Whoever is betting against Cleveland & GSW and the over is getting absolutely killed/hammered.  Repeatedly.

After awhile it makes you realize that those people just don't have a good grasp how these games are panning out.

yes im calling chris bosh from the toronto raptors a SUPER star, that is exactly what he was, he was being talked among the best, more dynamic, more athletic big man in the league. 

it seems like a long time ago but im sure you remember he was a beast, that is why he got 118 millions for 5 years which was a max contract att.

yes he under performed with the heat but he joined being a beast.

Cris Bosh never "under performed" not with the Raptors, and definitely not with the Heat, he was plagued with a death defying heart injury, unable to perform at 100%...case closed

btw: check out his playoff & Finals stats...your assessment is correct, he was a 'beast'

NBA fans & viewers alike were happier when
they got the forgone conclusion Magic Vs. Bird.

LBJ is one of the few guys that can play all 5 positions.
MJ?? MJ vs. Rose? MJ vs. Durant? MJ vs. Curry?

I think there's going to be a lot of money on this game.  Maybe because people need to recover losses from previous series or MLB not treating them well so far.  Maybe because they feel the NBA is ending and this is their last opportunity to cash in.  Maybe because of the hype of the game, the magnitude of it gets them to bet bigger..I don't know

What's my point?  I don't know.  I'm saying this thread, if not epic, will be soon. But then how is that different from any other Scalabrine thread?

Me personally I have 400 bucks on Warriors -7 and will be betting another 400 if I get Warriors in game live at -4 or under.

Good luck everybody.

Of course I can sense it! It is the longest we've waited in between games ever! It's finally here!

And I better win. Because NOTHING infuriates me more than feather quilling an Elizabethan SCROLL'S worth of write-up to go down in flames.

This is the big one, and BeginnerBoy our resident Warrior guru is MIA (probably because he disagrees with the pick and doesn't want to insult me!)

Thanks to the above. I've done all I can to get you Gents a winner.

As great as this writeup is....it's one sided. No advantages to the Cavs huh? The obvious has been stated in here yet there are some reaches for sure. Looking at both teams and being neutral in your assessment gives a better view of the REALITIES in this series. It's clear that you prefer the warriors here and that's fine but I too, can create a writeup just like that that points towards advantages for the Cavs. Enjoy the finals buddy.

Read the whole write up a good read...but then I recently read lebrons house was vandalized....motivation a huge factor it's one thing to disrespect someone but to go for the mans property and family considering his family lives in the home. It's a HUGE motivational factor for Lebron to come out pissed! Thoughts scal?
