OVER 215.5
Thanks to the Vegas Golden Knights last night, I lost my sixth best bet in a row. Well, that is my just having some light hearted fun. It wasn't Vegas that cost me my bet, I lost my bet. In this racket, you can not go ahead and blame the teams that you bet on for money going out your pocket, the person who is responsible for that is the one looking right back at you in the mirror. Before that, my pick on the Cavs +4.5 was five in a row, so tonight I am needing this pick like blood not to break my record of consecutive losses. It has been one of the worst weeks in sports betting that I have had in recent history, but nonetheless you own up to it, and move on.
Tonight I feel the Warriors get the win, the sweep, and their third championship in four years, their second consecutive and become a dynasty. The first two games in the NBA Finals went over the posted total, and with the best shooters in the league that Golden State has I can see this game going into the 220's. If the Cavaliers lag behind late in the game, they will most likely foul right to the end to extend the game, after all it very well could be the last game they play all season. Also, I have a feeling this will probably be LeBron's last game as a Cavalier before we see the drama in free agency that will accompany James' second "decision". We could see James go all out here like Kobe did in his last game as a Laker.
Now I know I don't have the numbers and statistics to back my pick on this game. My feel for this one all has to do with the feelings that these players will have on the court tonight. Golden State shooting from the three, LeBron putting on a clinic as what probably is his last game in this uniform, and this most likely being the last game of the NBA until next season and the teams milking every second out of it, over 215.5 is a very good total to like to the over.
Wish me luck for tonight everybody, as I will need it very much.
