well...as much as a good capper Scal has been this NBA season.... for a change, i dont think he is a legend, its al about streaks and be good at capping certain sports, he surely has been on fuego regarding NBA picks this season, but ....he pretty much sucks on every other sports

Only thing I'm worry about okc was the series they just had vs Spurs and won in 6 Suprised everyone plus okc won 3 straight and ats . Really think okc might be little spent , yes gsw struggle little due to curry being out few game vs Portland otherwise that wouldn't be that close . We can argue about both side trying come out game1 making statement . I think gsw will have the edge g1 winning Su .

I doubt OKC feels satisfied, they have to hate this team and know they need to send a message right away. if they're satisfied they probably need to just stay home.

Oh man, I just bet the kitchen sink on the dubs and dubsml/under parlay and then I came onto covers.com for some validation. Instead I get this intricate write-up from the legend and I'm starting to feel disheartened.

Now I have to go home to tell my kids Christmas is cancelled and let my wife know the mortgage will be late.

Shark, what kind words. Schmucks like you make this forum tough to follow. Is it really necessary to be a d*ck? He offers insight; if you don't like, go for a walk.

Scal - thanks for the write- up. But I don't see it. If OKC needs revenge issues to play at their peak for the Western Conf Finals, then theres' no way they'll win. And the LV line angle makes no sense. Vegas would get crushed with GSW bettors if they pushed out a 4.5 or 5 point spread.

I'm still trying to figure out what to do myself. Either way GL

thanks for the write up...I am still on GSW -7.5 for game 1...I think game 2 will be more closer if not an outright OKC win...I think GSW will win the series in 6, but its going to be a very competitive series...GLTA

yes, it should have said just closer, and not "more closer"...

Thanks to all the guys with extra info. positive contributions.

Scal doesn't care about legendary status (but thx to the guys who went after the trolls). He cares about winning money and wants others to win money, like he has off this site, many, many times off great cappers (many of whom are long gone), who posted meaningful write-ups others can use for their own selection, like I try to do.

No original thoughts on the Cavs/Raps that you don't already have. If Cavs come out hot they'll destroy them, simple as that! And everyone here thinks that already!

Now let's win this game!

And as an added bonus,Begginerboy endorses this pick and he's watched every single Warrior game this year and knows them better than anyone here.

Ironic that he chose the greatest Warrior season of all time, now and forever, to quit gambling! You'd have a huge bankroll now BB if ya just held out but, I'm guessing your happier as you hinted at.
