I failed to check the Vegas SWEPT prices before the series started because who would have thought, but I did check after Game 1 and GSW were +2000 to sweep meaning they only need to win three straight games. I'm guessing the before the series started GSW were +5000.
WOW - I just checked, GSW is now just +250 (massive price drop) to sweep the next two games......Vegas ZERO confidence in Cavs.
Golden State won its 87th game of the season (73 regular season; 14 postseason), matching the NBA record for combined wins (1995-96 Bulls)
Steve Kerr and Phil Jackson are the only coaches in NBA history to win 30 of their first 40 postseason games......the 48 points GSW won by in Games 1 & 2 are the biggest two game margin of victory in NBA Finals History:
Coach Kerr: "We did our job. We won our 2 home games. There’s obviously a long way to go. We’re not celebrating." "Our defense was the key to everything tonight."
Ervin Magic Johnson: The Cavs dared Draymond Green to beat them from the 3pt line and that's what he did shooting 5-8 from behind the line and scoring 28pts.
Cleveland shot 14 more free throws and GSW committed turnovers (20), and Cavs still lost by 30
Tyronn Lue went with the ‘
what’s the worst that can happen’ lineup and ran it for 9 full minutes.
Draymond scored a game-high 28 points, the most he's ever scored in a Finals game.
LeBron had 14 of the Cavs 23 2nd Quarter points.
Last team to come back down 0-2 in the Finals = 2006 Miami Heat......
teams leading 2-0 are 28-3 in Finals!
LeBron has now lost 7 straight vs. the Warriors, the longest losing streak against any team in his career.
It’s June 5th in the NBA Finals and LeBron’s STILL having to talk about the mental stuff with this team.
Three years ago, what odds could you have gotten that Steph Curry wins more NBA titles than LeBron James?
We all need to take a moment to credit Portland and the OKC Thunder for how well they played against the Death Squad Monster.
The Death Squad Monster that GSW has built are entering an unprecedented 2-year period where the cap will rise 70%.
This series is gonna make for an even more interesting offseason. No way the Cavs come back with this same big 3......will LeBron want another Coach?
