Hey dummy, you ever hear the expression styles makes fights? You're looking at this whole thing too simplistically, and you're getting offended over hypothetical matchups in terms of each teams strengths and weaknesses.

If this is too much for you to process, then just ignore the damn posts and keep it moving:camby:

I mean...you're free to continue talking about a hypothetical matchup that only isn't a reality because the team you're hyping up wasn't good enough to beat the team that looks like a D-3 program right now :skip:

Ehhh, LeBron/Cavs are just that much better than everyone else in the East. Put them in the west and it's a different story


Not taking anything away from them :whoa:
This false narrative needs to stop. The cavs are also undefeated out west if you look at what the warriors have played.

These were last years odds and lines. GS was a 6-8 point favorites in their home games and short dogs in their road games.

Golden State has a higher net rating this year than they did last year.

My power number & model before tonight's game incorporating the regular season with playoffs (no exponential smoothing to put more weight on most recent games) has GS -11 at home but that's a little high. If I just use playoff numbers it has 4.5 but that's a little low. I'm really looking at a number in the 7-8 range for GS's home games. The books just had GS giving up 10 to the Spurs on Sunday (Game 1) and my number had it at 7.5 (of course I bet the Spurs and they covered). How much better are the Spurs than the Cavs in terms of what Vegas thinks, SRS, analytics, numbers and their public perception?
