The nobody believed in us team from hell! Cavs vs Warriors (game 7 writeup)

well said

It's obvious who I like in game 7, MgM. I'll be taking them on the ML and parlaying it with Hillary to win the election.

Trump is a dumpster fire where the unprecedented has happened: his own party including, most notably, the House Speaker and last year's nominee Mitt Romney, are denouncing him publicly. It is something I never thought I'd live to see.

If Trump wins it will hurt the Republican Party more than if the Democrats win, if that is even possible. Plus, Vanzack is on Hillary as well and he's a political betting sharp.

Achilles, again the proof is in the pudding.

BB has proven himself on this site and has posted numerous other angles which you likely find to be 'nonsense' as well.

I love angles that may seem odd or unconventional at first glance and you will more often than not take shots at that. I'm hitting 75% this year over a small sample and I hit 70% last year.

Are these angles legitimate? Possibly. And they also may have absolutely nothing to do with the outcome. But if you have a capper like BB who has a long-time association with his team, investing hundreds of hours in game watching (thousands over several seasons) and research into their mindset through countless articles read, he can be trusted with his angles because he's proven himself in the past with them.

It's not dissimilar to these 'system' bets where you have no idea of the inputs into an excel spreadsheet, which results in a posted play, typically just a single sentence long, if that. You just trust they will hit because you trust the poster. If BB says the Dubs will take it tomorrow, I'm more than willing to trust him, playful abbreviation angle or otherwise (and his angle as I've laid out for you and as he did in the OP is far more than an abbreviation).

OK, buddy. You don't like intangible angles. Here are some tangible ones for you--they are points I've covered in other threads, but here you go, enjoy (just don't ask me to explain why they are important or relevant):

Choke city, Scal. I could not believe my eyes. I'm so disappointed in this team. So many chances at home to take the lead (with that crowd behind them), and to miss all those shots (a couple wide open), is inexcusable. This team has always come through in the clutch (I know cause I damn nearly watched every game). Always. I could not believe what I was seeing. They just needed to hit one big shot at the end, when they've made countless all season, and they could not do it. And that turnover by Curry?! My god, who does that in a finals game 7?! It is inexplicable. What a choke job. I'm so Sorry.

As you said, the behind the back pass by curry was just.... My oh my.

The defense on Curry and Klay on their last 3/4 shots was shockingly good! Even by Love of all people!

I'll ask you this: If Bogut didn't get injured, is this a different outcome and was Iggy another issue tonight based on what you saw of him all season? Obvious yes and yes?

Please please please don't leave your feet when Lebron is shooting a 3! That was the prelude to the dagger imo.

Hooting and hollering about someone else or your own nonexistent pick AFTER the final buzzer sounds. Classic amateur hour trolling.

At least put your feet to the fire if you are going to attack someone else. Sheesh...

Warriors and Curry were frauds 

The interesting part to me that aside from all the different angles to the series the bottom line is it came down to the last few minutes of game 7.   During that time, every warrior player had the chance to hit the winning shot and every1 failed.   Ie they all choked.   None of the Cavaliers, including Lebron, could do it either until Kyrie hit the winner.

I realize Steph was injured, and grant his abilities as a shooter, but from my perspective, watching him these last 2 years in the playoffs he is the laziest sloppiest point guard I think I've ever seen.

Shiek,

I never thought Steph was a true point guard. He was and always will be a twinner. In fact, he is even less of a point guard than Westbrook. But unlike Westbrook, Step is a team player, willing to make the hockey assist, and he has worked very hard to become a better ball-handler and all around player (so I give him that). I think what we have to question here is his decision making, which was Westbrook level this entire series. Steph has always played carelessly, but nobody notices anymore (they used to when Jackson was the coach) because the Warriors were blowing teams out, and the margin for error was great. And the person who contributed the most to increasing the margin for error was Steph himself, who could erase or negate any mistake he made with his amazing shooting. Well, that shooting ability disappeared during these finals, either due to injury, defense, nerves or a combination of all three, so his deficiencies as a point guard became more noticeable, and the margin for error (for the entire team) decreased. And that (to me) is why they lost this series. 

And yes, they all had a chance, but the worst shot was the one Thompson took, because Green was wide open behind him. He looked in his direction (saw him open) but then decided to force the issue. It was an all around choke job. One of the worst I've ever seen in my life. You think the 80's Lakers, Celtics, or Pistons would have a 4 minute stretch like that at home? Can you imagine Kareem, Magic, Worthy, Byron Scott, Bird, McHale, Parish, DJ, Isiah, Dumars, Mark Aguirre, Vinny Johnson, going scoreless like that, the way Curry, Klay, Green, and Iggy did? No way in hell. It was disgusting and sad to watch. This is not to take anything away from the Cavs, bbut the Warriors lost that game, plain and simple.

Scal, everything you say is true: not having Bogut hurt, the Curry injuries really hurt (threw him and the team off) chasing the record really hurt, and the OKC series took a lot out of them as well. And on top of all that, they got screwed with the Green suspension and they got no love from the officials during the latter part of the series, games 5-7 the Cavs got the best of the officiating. And yet, the series was theirs to lose. That 4 minute stretch when they could not buy a bucket is one of the most pathetic displays of basketball I've ever seen at this level (involving a so called all time great time with two of the greatest shooters in the history of the game). It was an all-time choke job, much worse than the Patriots because the Patriots were beaten by one miraculous play. These guys had at least five chances to win the game (because everyone on the Cavs was missing too).
