Acording to the boys in Vegas, the Cleveland Cavilers are +190 to win the NBA Finals and +215 to win Game One.
Steph Curry / GSW faced a much better defense against OKC. For as talented as Kyrie Irving is with the ball, he is sooo James Harden LAZY on the defensive side. LeBron simply can't keep up with Steph throughout the entirety of the game......however, if it's tied or very close during the final two minutes of any game, look for LeBron to be in full shutdown mode!
King James Post-Season Legacy
Win or lose, the book on LeBron's post-season carrier is starting to close. Back-2-back NBA Championship losses at the hands of Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors would make LeBron 2-5 in Championship series.
LeBron turns 32 next season......by caparison, Michael Jordan & Tim Duncan won won NBA Championships after turning 32, Kobe Bryant did not!
Speaking of the Lakers, this series sort of reminds me of the 2004 NBA Finals. All the Vegas Sharps & Squares were on the Lakers and the Detroit Pistons beat LA down in Five.
Remembering that, I still believe the Cavs are playing for 3rd place!
NOTE: there is some sort of "legacy" with a single player making six straight Finals appearances. I felt the same way about the Buffalo Bills making three straight Super Bowl appearances.
