I will take the Golden State Warriors to win the series for a friendly 5er. I will take two bets, first two people to respond have the action.

I say 6 games is a better bet, but it will be Golden State as long as they stay healthy. Good luck finding someone to take your bet unless they are a die-hard Cavs fan...

I dont know enough about the NBA or even watch it, i just dont like Lebron so Im betting against him. I would like the warriors to win it in 4 but the NBA wants to make more money so they will draw it out to 5 or 6 games.

Right? It ended for me at final buzzer of the Duke/Wisconsin game.

I heard on the radio that Golden State and Cleveland are in the Finals. I figured I must have been listening to Satire Radio, by accident. I also heard that there was a team called the Pelicans. WTF? What have I been missing?

Curse of Cleveland lives! Kyrie Irving is out because of a broken kneecap. They survived the loss of one of their big three, Kevin Love, earlier in the season, but this leaves them out to dry.
King can't do it himself as he showed the first time with the Cavs.

Send me your addy, therrm...

All tied up 1-1. They should a stat last night that this was the first finals ever to have the first 2 games go in to overtime.

First NBA game ive watched start to finish in probably 3 years. And now I remember why I hate watching basketball, especially NBA basketball. No offensive plays, either the guy bringing the ball down shoots or he gets trapped and the next guy who gets the pass shoots. Next the refs control to much of the game, way to many phantom fouls, or no calls, or pure judgement calls by refs when it could go either way. With these guys being so good at what they do they can take horribly strategic shots and make them which keeps it interesting but its still horrible fundamental basketball.

2-1 Cavs

It also bugs me that Steph Curry shows no emotion. In game 2 he missed the final shot and gave this smile like oh well no big deal. Tonight he loses again and it still doesn't look like it hurts. I hate Lebron but at least it looks like he puts his heart and soul in it. When they won game 2 there was a highlight where he let out a primal yell. I want to see Golden State with that passion and commitment.

The King factor, packing those chitties on his back and carrying them to victory!

Before the series, I really had no dog in this fight, and might not have even watched every game.

Thanks for the bet man, every one of these games has been good!

Looks like the refs bet on GS though, lol.
