The collective failures of the Cubs might surpass that of all three CLE pro teams.

...but that is what makes it so difficult for Chicago Cub fans because of those championships. CLE doesn't know how painful that is. Also you forgot the 85 Bears probably the most memorable for me.

To top that all off I couldn't even enjoy the Sox world series win because I am a Cubs fan. Now that is some real pain. CLE should be thankful they have a bunch of losers. It is like winning the lottery it would only destroy their lives.

CLE +1 1/2 underdog for tonight.

CLE +1 1/2 underdog for tonight.

The cavs lost 2 games at home since Lebron came back from his injury this year. And more importantly "Tonight is the 4th time this season the Cavs play a home playoff game on the same day the Indians are home. The Cavs won the previous 3 and are 7-1 in such games since 2009, while the Indians are 5-3"

I am sure the odds makers took all that into consideration when they made the line.

If Curry gets back his shot, the Cavs are toast, unless JR Smith gets hot, there's only so much 1 player can do.

Can GS win with Curry having another bad game?

Can GS win with Curry having another bad game?

Yes. They went to overtime in Game 2.

@CM: Do you think if you replace LBJ with MJ in game 2 the cavs could have won? I think not.
I'm not saying LBJ is greater. I am saying that LBJ has the power to carry a D-league team on his back - I don't think MJ could have.
MJ was a better clutch closer, and a better scorer, and was tougher.

If they single team MJ like they do LB then MJ gets 50-60 points. So I would say yes they win game 2.

[Ergel]

I think people are forgetting how good Jordan was (has a lot to do with the way he ended his career)

Based on... NBA 2K15?

[ChaimMoskowitz]

As much as I dislike LB I will be rooting for the Cavs but betting on GS (nothing big).

Feels like everyone is dumbfounded by the Warriors scoring struggles, but to me, it's pretty simple. They're designed for the current era of rules (and the defensive limitations that would normally come with that), while the Finals are being called like it's 1990. I'm not saying the games themselves are being called inconsistently for one team or another, but it definitely benefits the Cavs more than the Warriors.
