ROFL. Dude, if that wasn't a blatently GSW favored officiated quarter I don't know what is.

Mozgov was going straight up
Lebron got fouled atleast twice, probably more
Crawford calls that foul on JR Smith

Nothing the other way

if that david lee foul + draymond and 1 is a sign of things to come, game is over. James should rest for game 5


Although I dunno why NBA would rig it in favor of GSW. Cleveland winning would be one of the largest stories in sports.. ever. Prob not rigged, Joey is just a terrible refree

Well said

God damn it... Tristan Thompson is scoring points for once... Motherfucker!

OMG comeback

plzzzz 1 time

Seems like Crawford has it in for Mozgov, 2-3 bad blocking fouls, and another 2-3 and 1's no calls
That could easily result in a 7-8 point swing

Ended the night with +1.1u profit. Kinda sucks since I spent all that time for a small profit, but it's better than nothing.

Warriors vs. Cavaliers game 5 discussion

What do you guys think about the total set at 195? I already bet 1.5u on it going u195 the other day. It went up to 195.5, but is now at 194.5 on game day.

Also, the point spread is at 9, but the more I think about it, it seems like a trap, so I'm staying away from it.

I think we'll see one of two games; Warriors win while the Cavs slow down as the game progresses, or the game is close and can go either way. In both scenarios, I see the total being under 195 like it has been all series, minus game 1 that went to OT.

If LeBron isn't scoring well this game, he'll probably get pulled a little sooner than he did in game 4, just so they can save him for game 6 in Cleveland.

Thoughts?

I wouldn't touch the under with the way the Warriors played last game

Game 5 results

+ Show Spoiler +

i know it's awkward to give finals MVP to someone on the losing team but there's really no excuse for anyone but LBJ to win it this series even if/when the Cavs likely lose.

^^ there's been a lot of talk about that, hasn't happened since 1969 (could have been a mistake?) Everyone watching this series knows who deserves it. If you remove Curry/Bron from each team, Cavs lose by 20+ each game. This series is like a private store owner holding his ground vs Wal-Mart who just moved in next door.

live betting this series was the way to go. lebron can singlehandedly keep the games close for a while, but then gases out hard by the 4th quarter cause no human being can play 45+ minutes with a 50%+ usage rate. I hope he comes away from this series unscathed because what he is putting his body through every other night is dangerous.

What do you guys think about Game 6? I think the total opened at 194, and is now at 194.5 points. The spread opened at -4.5 in favor of the Warriors, but the spread is now -3.5 for the Warriors.

I'm thinking of betting a couple of units on the total if it gets to Under 195 or better, and then live bet the the rest like I've been doing.

I think it is gambling.

Re: Lebron MVP. It is almost like regardless of what happens Lebron should get MVP. He has already played 4 of the best ever finals games ever.

I am in the middle of re-watching game 3 b/c Lebron is too sick. It is almost like besides some missed pick and rolls when AI is guarding him, some settling/bad shots when AI is guarding him, and some missed finishes around the basket he has played almost perfect. Like to the point where he could not make any improvements in his dribbles or passes. Well, dribbles yes. He makes mistakes but it does not effect things too much typically. Passing is optimal. Defense is great. Conditioning, I do not know how he keeps it up.

It's crazy. It is conceivable to me that there is reasonable improvement in his conditioning, 3 pointers (plenty), and finishing in the paint that he could be a 50, 15, and 10 guy next year in the finals if that is what is needed.

Since this is do-or-die for the Cavs, I decided not to touch the total. I expect it to go o193.5, but who knows... I'll look at betting u203 or better if it gets that high, otherwise I'll just pass on the total. If I can get a read on the first half, I plan to live bet the first half, but probably just still to protecting my original investment on the Warriors -3 as the 2nd half starts.


Warriors -3 -115 (2u)
1Q u49 -120 (.5u)
Andre Iguodala o13.5 points -115 (1u)
