Thread title sucks, and Warriors aren't losing unless they lose 2 key pieces.

 

[BadJerry20]

2? If they lose KD or Steph in the Finals healthy Celtics absolutely beat them.

I don't think so, we'll see.

 

[BadJerry20]

If they lose one or the other The Rockets beat them.

 

[BadJerry20]

I don't think so, we'll see.

You plan on taking KD or Steph out? Lol

 

[BadJerry20]

The C's have 4 possible All-stars, are the deepest team in the League with the second best Coach in the League. C's in 3.

 

[zjcvols]

I hate both teams but Warriors/C’s could provide the best quality basketball in the Finals since 2013

 

[zjcvols]

Also think the Lakers will be a top 4 team in the West this year

Warriors

 

[zjcvols]

Ben honest question who you rooting for this year?

 

[95 Vol Alum]

The rest is just filler.

 

[zjcvols]

Warriors

I don’t see anyway they lose if everyone stays healthy. If Boogie causes any issues just trade or cut him

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Ben honest question who you rooting for this year?

I don't know, maybe just watching and hoping to see good games. I have liked OKC since they got Russ and I have liked Portland for a long time.

 

[BadJerry20]

Please take out Draymond while you are it, actually everyone but Iggy works.

Ben honest question who you rooting for this year?

I'm not going to bet on any of these, because I'm not really a gambler, but does anybody know if you can do these bets mid-season? I think I might want to try a strategy....wait until players who I think their team contribution is overrated to get injured, and when Vegas overreacts, I take the over. For example, Embiid. I believe that Simmons can win a lot of games without Embiid.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Vegas doesn't overreact with lines. People who bet on them do.

I don't think you can bet on win totals once the season start. You are just left with odds to win the championship at that point, but I am not an expert and could be mistaken.

Yeah, I mean it's kind of a chicken and egg thing. When they pick wins totals, they're trying to anticipate how the masses will look at it, right?
