I take it you are still living in the land of delusion...
I originally thought the Cavs would win game 3, but at this point I don't see how... the Warriors psychological edge is so monstrous right now... they haven't needed big games from Curry or Thompson to destroy the Cavs in the first 2 games... what are the odds that those two will not shoot lights out in game 3? I am thinking... NIL!

First off... no, most people on Covers think the books should over-react to a blowout the same way they do... these people have no concept of how power rankings work or how books set lines...
On the other hand, it might be a little bit of a stretch to say games 1 and 2 have no influence on the line for the next game... just not nearly as much as people think it should.
I suspect, if the books had set a line for each of the first 4 games, before the series started, the line on game 3 would have been Clev (-3) or (-3.5)... and given the fact that Kevin Love will almost certainly be held out of game 3, it means this line has only shifted by maybe a half point or 1 point (at most) based on the first two blowouts...

Well obviously the series is scripted for Cleveland to impose their defense on curry/Thompson to make it seem like they actually could contain those guys (When in reality, they can't)
So if what you said was true, then Curry would have already went off at home. What is going to happen is that I expect we will see the same performance from Curry, maybe a little better but it will even out. And cavs will play much better at home.
So, Cavs is a no brainer here

The Splash brothers had a off night in game 1 and game 2 they didn't need to shoot and passed to the open man, They both were making around 50% of their shoots and spread the ball to their fellow teammates Cleveland focus is don't let the Splash brothers beat us, they forgot the rest of GS starters and bench are NBA qualified to also score points. IMO it does not make any different if Love plays in game 3, it's a wash Off vs D. I picked GS for the series, but the way Cleveland is playing they would be lucky to win one game.

Its scripted for Curry/Thompson to not score a lot is what I mean. Sure there will be a game where they do... but it wont be game 3
Funny how people think both splash brothers could both have an off night together on the same night. I don't even see one of those guys ever having an off night. No such thing. Either you know how to shoot, or you don't. Common sense here, I used to play sports so I know from experience.

Well Steph was 7-11 for 18 points in Game 2 and only played half the game. Maybe he didn't get a chance to go off last night because they were up by 35 and he didnt need to be in the game. Not sure the NBA is scripting 35 point blowouts.
