Yeah, Shumpert is hurt, which is great for my bet on him.

I currently have these live bets:

o191.5 -110 (1u)
1H o94.5 -126 (1u)

Uhh.....

lol @ this game and these two dogshit teams. bring back Spurs/Clippers.

Sheesh... I'm not normally a basketball fan, but I think I might start following the sport full-time next season. Well, not full-time cuz I don't have enough free time, but more than just the playoffs. This series is sick AF...

lol^

I had massive swings with my bets... Barely came out ahead +1.7u after the o181.5 hit.

Gonna make sure to not bet so much during the next game, cuz I don't like finding myself in a spot where I'm risking so much money chasing the over/under.

Also, my Cleveland +195 to win the series is looking good.

Now that I think about it, I believe I said the same exact thing during the Spurs vs. Heat finals, which was sick as fuck. I liked the 2014 finals better than the 2015 playoffs.

i once again I have no idea what I'm talking about apparently but....

I still believe the Warriors will win the series and will put some money on the updated series line if there are even money or better

Most people I've seen online keep mentioning how the Warriors are the better team, they have underperformed in the first two teams, LeBron will get tired, how a certain player won't be able to do well against the Warriors for whatever reason, and how certain Warriors players will heat up any moment and start playing well. If the Warriors were such a sick good team and better than the Cavaliers, why did they almost lose game 1, and lost game 2? LeBron could've ended the first 2 games by himself if he didn't miss both of the final shots of the both games. What happens if the Cavs win game 3? Will people still preach the same thing about the Warriors? I mean, for a team that should clearly be better, the Warriors haven't shown anything special yet. Also, the Splash Brothers haven't been clicking lately. Klay did his thing in game 2, but he's been quiet lately. Moreover, he supposedly has a thigh injury via being kneed in game 2, but I doubt that it's anything serious, the media is most likely just making a big deal out of nothing.

I still believe the Warriors are the superior team are basically running below expectation for games 2 & 3. I could be wrong about this but if you look at the Warriors for this season as a whole body of work, they have statistically had one of the greatest single seasons in NBA history. Like probably top 10 greatest seasons ever..

I think you kind of answered your own question in the second paragraph. The Warriors lost game 2 and almost game 1 because Lebron played at another level and just flat out dominated. I think Delladova's play has really been huge as well the last 2 games but Lebron playing the way he is currently is just unstoppable. I'm having trouble understanding some of the adjustments Kerr has made. Like why in the hell has Andrew Bogut just stopped playing towards the end of games 2 & 3 (I think he wasn't in game 1 at the end also but due to foul trouble)?

I'm still not ready to give up on them. They were down 2-1 vs Memphis and then just crushed the rest of the series. Shumpert appeared to get hurt in game 3 and Delladova was also apparently sent on a stretcher to the hospital after the game due to "severe leg cramps". I just don't think the Cavs can maintain this level of play but Lebron continues to dominate and the role players hit their 3's AND the Warriors continue to shoot poorly. I don't see it happening. Maybe I'm jaded by the fact that I hate LBJ as a fan of basketball but there's no denying how great he is

Max bet on Bovada will be made if the Warriors are even money or better to back up what I'm saying!

^^ Warriors are clearly the superior team. It's hard to tell if curry is missing easy shots or the defense is playing well vs him, since the shots he makes vs the shots he misses look difficult for normal players either way, but he seems to make them routinely vs other teams.
Warriors started crushing the Grizz once they started blitzing the gasol/randolf posts, I suspect they are content with their defense on lebron and wont make any adjustments. w/ Lee getting more minutes game 4, the 100 mark is finally gonna get cracked in regulation since warriors offense will improve but also their interior defense will be worse off. In either case higher scoring should be favor arable for GSW.

Lebron is playing on another level. After watching these last 3 games I am glad I did not bet on GSW. Lebron is a stronger player then Stephen Curry. I am kind of surprised to see the line only at -105 for Cavs, they have the series lead, the next game is in Cleveland, first two games have been closer then the third (momentum on Cavs), and Its Lebron, the hungriest player in the NBA. What can possibly GSW do? Maybe I am wrong but I assume the line sho.uld be closer to -130

i think 0 people on planet earth have ever said otherwise

I don't get these lines

Bovada's slaw ass lines has CLE -115 & GSW -105

Random bookie I know has CLE +100 & GSW -120

Bookmaker has Cavs -104 vs. Warriors -116
5dimes has Cavs +100 vs. Warriors -110

still have faith in dubnation to win the series... they are simply too talented to go down like this. However, if they lose game 4, i give them a 5% chance to get to a game seven and win

i think if they go 1-3, they are still better then 50% to win each the remaining 3 games, i would think they are still >~15% to title being down 1-3

Agreed with Tom. They will be favored in each individual game this series no matter what and heavily favored at home.

I'm dropping everything I have on warriors ML tonight btw. Follow if you want to make money

Basketball fanboys are crazy.

----------

6 hours before game 4 starts and the series line looks like this: Cavs +112 vs. Warriors -132

tend to agree on Warriors ML tonight (have no action personally though)

I don't really like any of these lines...just not going to bet

If anything I'd bet Cavs ML for tonight (edit: +165) but I think all the lines I've seen for tonight's game and the series price are pretty spot on
