Sounds like a proactive and synergistic place to work, Spottie.

PS if Lebron had gone to the GSWs, they'd have been even more mortal locks for the finals, but he took the coward's way out instead.

my friend found 3.2:1 odds for the cavs title chances. i'm looking at where the lines are now and i don't really love any of them

I guess now's a good time to mention that back in July when I was hootin' and hollerin' about LeBron coming back, I happened to be in Vegas and I put a huge wager on the Cavs winning the NBA Finals at 25:1. I really hope they don't let me down.

I hate the way a lot of 538 articles contain stats and observations about those stats with no regard for immediate context. Never get a sense that these people are talking about something they've actually watched.
― tsrobodo, Friday, 17 April 2015 18:42 (nine years ago) link
good luck, snrub
― johnny crunch, Friday, 17 April 2015 18:44 (nine years ago) link
yeah i mean thats kinda the whole point of their approach xp bring yr own context lol
― lag∞n, Friday, 17 April 2015 18:50 (nine years ago) link
I would definitely hedge your bet at some point snrub, at least in the finals
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 17 April 2015 19:14 (nine years ago) link
xpNah there's always context and the stats and observations are largely informed by what they choose to ignore/include.
Using single-season stats as a basis for these predictions when a lot of rosters change drastically half way through doesn't seem sensible to me.
The Nets may have been the worst team to make the playoffs looking at the season as a whole but that fact that they've recently improved with Lopez healthy and finished the season 13-6 isn't reflected in that.

idk brian windhorst says lebron is 24-3 in the first round over the past six seasons and that could spell bad news for the celtics
― balls, Friday, 17 April 2015 22:00 (nine years ago) link
boston radio guys were killing windhorst for that

yea lol i dont think any of the ilh celtics partisans expect anything beyond a win or two & i would personally be elated by that

The Warriors are going to have a dogfight getting out of the west, but if they can get past the WCF, they should be able to knock off the east champion, be it the Hawks, Cavs or Bulls. I picked them to go the whole way, but realistically the Spurs are going to be tough to dethrone and it was hard to pick against them.

Honestly I'm really feeling the Spurs to win it but I'm going to stick my call a while back that gsw could do it
And Kerr blazing straight to the chip in his first year would be almost as awesome as pop finally getting a back to back bc we have one more way to kick hand down man down
Also leeee will need to photoshop a sixth finger onto that gif of Kerr with his rings in the snow

what's yr reasoning on picking the blazers? nobody's picking the blazers! they're super beat up and i have a feeling memphis is going to completely shut down lillard.
