Having said that though, I think $2.90 is nice betting for the Cavs.

For me, the Warriors are about where they were last year in talent and ability, however the Cav's appear to have improved and are now fit to go, unlike last year when they were injured and unsettled.

Cav's in 7 games for $7:00 is a great bet IMHO...

Although, a game 7 would be at GSW, so maybe as an afterthought the 4-2 winning odds for the Cav's at $4:75 may be even better (more likely)...

Warriors looked unsettled against the Thunder. They were down in both games 6 and 7. The Cavs have loaded up and as said, are at full strength. $2.90 seems pretty long to me for a team with that much firepower.

I heard that Varejao will get a ring no matter who wins..

What a great position to be in.

Obviously understand he would want GSW to win though.

^ me again

As long as Delly gets a championship ring this year I don't really care which team wins it.

Are you backing a controversial team swap mid series Luuuc? I am not usually a betting man, but where can I get the odds on that?

Given the Warriors' 3-point ability, Cavs would do better to give up the 2 more readily in order to stop the 3.

Just focusing on stopping the 3 would be a flawed plan, control the boards, pressure Curry best you can but don't allow yourself to waver from what you do best if you are the Cav's and in the end we could just see one of the best final series ever...

Frankly, i've never seen a team get as many calls as what the Warriors get. Seriously. And no it's not bringing out the 'ref excuse'.

Am I the only one who is unimpressed by the level of basketball being played right now?

Can someone please explain how Green stepping across in front of James as he drives to the bucket (not having his feet set, then flopping), how is this an offensive foul on James?

As bad as Cleveland have played, they are right there or thereabouts.

Splash brothers have not got into it either, not really...

Lead changing in the third, game on!

Lead changing in the third, game on!

Come'on ref, Delly was playing at the ball, the right ball!

;)

"Splash brothers have not got into it either, not really..."

And that's what worries me as someone who wants the Land to win.

This team is seriously unbeatable (over a 7 game series)

Curry and Klay haven't really even got going..so what happens? Iggy, Green and Barbosa get involved and start hitting shots.

It's crazy. Best team of all time and it's not even close.

Personally, I think Lebron was celebrating so much the other day following beating the Raptors because he thought (at that stage and with how the WCF series was going) he would match up with Thunder and have a great chance of winning the whole lot.

Dare I say his happiness quickly eroded when he saw GS claw back and ultimately take the West.

And, early in the forth it looks like you may be right @MACDUB...

Only a foul given, nothing to write about regarding Delly, but that said, it was always a concern for me this series as to how he fits into the system behind a fit Kyrie.

Spurs lost any impact Mills could have brought by limiting his minutes and not giving him the same opportunities he took a couple of years ago, and look what happened.

Not saying the Aussie boys are deserving of more, just making the point about Delly and how flat they are playing without his spark and creativity right now...

The overall energy levels of the Cavs in home games versus away games is very concerning.

Without having home court advantage over the series, it's seemingly impossible to think they will be this year's champions.

Yup, got to win one early away or it's gonna be impossible.

Splash, Ker-splash and game over in game one...

Irving couldn't guard a chair. He was contributing way more points at the GSW end than he was adding at own. Against a smooth offensive juggernaut like the Warriors, the Cavs are a far worse team with him on court. Has he never heard of a back cut? Livingston in particular was just toying with him.

LeBron seemed to be forcing it badly today. That said, the refs were letting a lot go.

It is very scary for the Cavs that they got beaten by so much without Curry or Klay really contributing.

Good game by Bogut. Unfortunately other than a lob to TT, and being responsible for a ridiculously long delay in play, Delly was ineffective.

It isn't even criticizing. You guys are just hating for the sake of it. If you had balanced points to make that would be fine, but what you have is a bunch of mockery with no substance.

Delly isn't some Kanye West egotist who thinks he's the best player in the world. No one here is saying he is some sort of transcendent once-in-a-generation talent. So why the constant and endless fault-finding in someone who has harnessed every morsel of his limited physical abilities?

If he is just such a shit player, why is he in the league and you not?

If he is so shit, how much must YOU suck?

They extended his contract last season for a reason. Out of the thousands of point guards who'd love to be in his position, he has it for a reason. His ability to hustle, set up an offense and irritate the opposite is a skill elite enough to see him get rotation minutes on a championship contender. Even if we remove you, personally, from the equation, Matthew Dellavedova is doing better than a good percentage of the whole league - whether or not he is more or less talented.

Can't belive the rubbish sprouting forth from obviously bitter keyboard warriors. Did Delly take your or your kids place in a team as a junior, did he wipe the floor with your or your kids team as a junior lol.
Such hate for one player who's done nothing but work his arse off from day one, and is still doing so now.

All it does is show just how pathetic YOU are to think it's ok to continually trash this guy for everything he does.
He's done and is doing a millions more things in basketball than anyone of you knockers though I'd say it's actually only a couple anons posting who seem to have this axe to grind.
Give it a rest and get over yourselves and the fact that YOU will and were never going to make it to the NBA and this guy did and has.

Bogut's throwing a block party

The three headed monster that is Cleveland is really a one-headed monster trying to do way too much all by himself while his 'superstar' colleagues stink it up nearby.

The Cavs were better in last year's playoffs without Love and with Delly running the show in place of Irving. A case of subtraction by addition?

Hard to tell XY, but looking that way. In saying that, I'm not sure it would give them any chance of beating the Warriors anyway from what's been seen so far. GSW too deep, too good.

Two words,

no, not Splash Brothers....

'Home Court'

Because that is what will win it, again!

No, they wouldn't win it without Love and Irving, as last year showed. But they aren't going to win it this year with them, based on the evidence so far. LeBron needs a better supporting cast of top-10 NBA talent to mix it with GSW, or at least some guys who actually give a shit at the defensive end, so he doesn't have to try to do it all alone.
