i'd give lebron like a 25% shot at minimum in any series

if bron can pull this one off i will worship him as a god
― lag∞n, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:14 (seven years ago) link
even two years ago when his supporting cast was like delly and 5 guys over the age of 36 it seemed like he was going to beat the warriors! at least for like 3.5 games
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:14 (seven years ago) link
and i hope he does i am praying for/to him
but the warriors have kevin durant this year
also the cavs cant play D

if lebron wins again i will start referring to everyone i meet as "lebron"
― lag∞n, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:17 (seven years ago) link
lebron has been in the past six finals and has won three of those finals
― marcos, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:18 (seven years ago) link
this analysis seems incomplete

lol

if LeBron wins again i'll call everyone LeBron and ask everyone to call me David Blatt
― nomar, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:19 (seven years ago) link
what ever happened to blatt btw i haven't thought of him in months
seeing durant curse out the jazz mascot for no reason reminded me of bron's first year in miami when he was embracing the villain role all year and then basically had a mental breakdown in the finals vs the mavs
i tend to agree w/ "durant makes the warriors practically unbeatable" but if steph is shaky in the finals again and klay kinda disappears, we'll see how KD reacts to this specific sort of pressure being put on his shoulders
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:20 (seven years ago) link
[injury caveat here] cavs prob have a better chance of getting swept or missing the finals than winning

haha i made some good money on this series and tbh i was never worried. last year was different tho as steph was clearly not right and the cavs were healthier

The 2017 Euroleague playoffs are upon us. The new 30-game regular season was very successful in terms of week-to-week entertainment, and it helped narrow the field from 16 teams to eight. Now, a best-of-five series and two single-elimination victories stand between one team and a Euroleague title. Last year, that team was CSKA Moscow, who swept Crvena Zvezda, and then won two absolute wars with Lokomotiv Kuban and Fenerbahce to capture their third Euroleague championship.
They’re back to try to make it four this year, but first, they’ll have to run through what should be a deeper playoff field than we had last season. CSKA comes in as the No. 2 seed, and they’ll have to face off with fellow 2016 Final Four participant Baskonia in the first round. Real Madrid usurped the Russians as the top seed, riding a 14-2 run into the playoffs. They get “Blatt BC,” as David Blatt’s Darussafaka Dogus squad snuck into the playoffs on the final day with a win over Crvena Zvezda.

just asked my friend who places bets with a bookie and he says warriors have been hovering at -400 to win the finals for a while, which i still think is way too steep. i might look at it if it doesn't move for the finals tho
― k3vin k., Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:22 (seven years ago) link
haha that dude was like fuck the nba im going back where im appreciated xp
― lag∞n, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:22 (seven years ago) link
that said at this point anything >80% is preposterous imo, literally anything can happen. there's 2 rounds left to play. steph could get hurt. etc
pretty much this
― frogbs, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:22 (seven years ago) link
I'm seeing Warriors -300 on my book which scans as about right to me

i predict cavs beating celtics in 4
― marcos, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:23 (seven years ago) link
don't really see cavs missing the finals
― marcos, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:24 (seven years ago) link
nah theyll take a game prob
― lag∞n, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:24 (seven years ago) link
im gonna exit this conversation cause its going to make me root for the warriors so ill be right and i dont want to
looking forward to the Wizards/Rockets finals
― nomar, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:25 (seven years ago) link
anyway imo ppl are underrating this warriors team cause they kinda coasted through the regular season, which tbh was prob a mistake considering they had to incorporate a new star, but their talent level is just insane, if thin
― lag∞n, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:26 (seven years ago) link
there's a 0% chance of the cavs not making the fianls

in his new JVG pod, lowe was talking about how everyone thought initially that they had this huge hole at C, but javale, zaza and west have been legitimately good for them
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:27 (seven years ago) link
it's such a good situation for our javale
― k3vin k., Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:30 (seven years ago) link
its not hard to be good when playing w the rest of those guys, like javale and zaz arent actually good theyre just always wide open, and it doesnt even matter cause if theyre in a close game they can just play the death lineup
― lag∞n, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:30 (seven years ago) link
2 recent mvp winners, prob the dpoy, one of the best shooters, and a former allstar who still has a lil gas left, and theyre all at least good defenders, all except klay are very good passers, theyre unselfish and so forth
― lag∞n, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:31 (seven years ago) link
things of that nature
― k3vin k., Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:33 (seven years ago) link
they def all look better than they would on a normal team, javale was basically out of the league. but they also are able to utilize his specific skill set (jumping extremely high) the best

this was basically exactly what jvg said. elite talent makes these role players look better than they are.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:36 (seven years ago) link
warriors took it to the final minutes of game 7 last year with no durant and injured curry, they're overwhelming favorites this year imo
― ciderpress, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:42 (seven years ago) link
yup also the cavs are worse
― lag∞n, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:43 (seven years ago) link
+dray missed a game cause of one weird thing
― lag∞n, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:44 (seven years ago) link
dray is playing cleaner this year at least in the games ive watched
― ciderpress, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:46 (seven years ago) link
warriors are obv favorites but they were last year too, it was supposed to be a cake walk they were a 73-9 team
― marcos, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:52 (seven years ago) link
their best player was injured and their best defender missed a game
― lag∞n, Thursday, 11 May 2017 17:53 (seven years ago) link
+they added an mvp caliber player this year

yeah id be surprised if he does anything this year to come close to a suspension, that whole scenario has got to make u reflect
Xp plus they weren't out for revenge/redemption

Dubs haven't even started their actual playoff rotations yet.
― Spottie, Thursday, 11 May 2017 18:06 (seven years ago) link
crazy neither them or the cavs have lost a game yet
― lag∞n, Thursday, 11 May 2017 18:07 (seven years ago) link
not losing games is a good strat
