no one is the heavy favorite in the finals this year.
But the Cavs are slightly better than the Warriors this post season.

here is an actual stat for you instead of speculations.
The net ratings for the playoffs so far. (point differentials per 100 possessions.)

I guess the experts setting the betting lines in Vegas just want the lose money.

im sure they made alot of money in 2011.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Vegas has them as 2:1 favorites. Not that big, tbh

We can all agree LeBron will have to play like an ATG...if the Cavs even want a chance to beat GS.

this doesnt take into account level of competition, which skews it heavily in the cavs favor.

no doubt, if the warriors had played the celtics, bulls, and hawks they would have a much better net rating.

The LeBron Haters/Kobe Stans trying to cover their tracks when Cleveland wins. Pretty hilarious. LeBron >>> Kobe all-time. Let it go, f.aggots :oldlol:

So you think ESPN is wrong and Lebron will lead the Cavs to the title over the stacked all time great Warriors?

Going by that logic, the 2011 weren't favorites either. At the being of the the playoffs, the 2011 Heat were picked to lose to Boston in the second round, and then picked to lose against the Bulls.

Therefore, the 2011 Miami Heat were not favorites.

[ArbitraryWater]

Lol its not just the predictions.. saw that video? Its like any team stat, advanced or not, proves the Warriors to be one of the absolute best teams ever, but people 'don't buy the huge difference'.. I'm surprised its just 2:1.

regular season heroes

they will get exposed tonight

theyre like the phoenix suns mid 2000s, except they are facing a pathetic western conference so they actually made the finals. they faced the pelicans > crippled mem > crippled rockets (who were not that good to begin with)

the only legit contender was SAS, and they lost to clippers, who choked vs rockets lol.

lol they are better in the playoffs because of who they were playing.

The Warriors have had one of the best regular seasons of all time in one of the toughest conferences, and they've basically swept through the playoffs at 100% health.

Absolutely no excuses for the Dubs.

lol @ "picked to lose". I'm not talking about some BSPN "analysts" predictions. I'm talking about straight up stats. Besides, the Heat were picked to win the finals vs the MAvs anyway. What in the actual fuq are you trying to even say?
:lol
