Just need a split in GS. I'm sure they'll be coming out firing on all cylinders with their home court. Looks like the line is out and it's GS -7. I figured it would be lower than that.

---

Vegas thinks the Oracle Arena is worth 8 points? Wow

---

No, they think it's worth ~4 points which is pretty standard for NBA.

---

Ah yeah, math is hard when you've been up since 5am

---

Well, bottom line is Toyota and Oracle aren't even in the same conversation in terms of toughest places to play. Only way Rockets to even think we really had home court advantage was there was 5 games played at Toyota and 2 at Oracle.

---

But just talking from a spread perspective, you are usually talking about 2-4 points for home court advantage at most (unless significant altitude is involved which might bump it another half-point).

Difference between Oracle and Toyota when it comes to Vegas odds is typically going to be less than a bucket.

---

Yeah but it's Oracle and coming off a loss........

Much thanks to the Rockets to keep some reasonable doubt alive for a bit longer on who will win the NBA title. Had they gone down 0-2 to the Warriors last night, that would have almost certainly been end of story and then we'd all just be waiting to see whether the Warriors would only need 6,7, or perhaps 8 more games to an NBA title.

Cavs would have almost zero chance versus Rockets or Warriors. And although Boston is playing like a very cohesive team and is an excellent defensive team (unlike the Cavs), the Warriors and Rockets simply have too much elite offensive firepower to expect Boston to pull off more than 1-2 wins against those two.

Would you rather CP3 not have an extra day or two to get his leg right?

The only reason there is three days between games is the original schedule did not have the Western Conf Finals starting until Wed instead of Monday but due to the previous series ending quickly they moved them up. However, the finals dates are set and can't be moved so they left the rest of ther series as originally scheduled so there would not be a big gap between the finals and the conference finals.

Always
Nice to have a reason to go back and watch this.

Watching that makes me remember how terrible Blake griffin really is

They played a mental health ad featuring Kevin Love and DeMar DeRozan just now and JVG said he wished he could've done more for Eddie Griffin when they were both in Houston.

Sounded like JVG was on the brink of tears

I'd say at least 50 percent of the stadium isn't wearing the shirts set out on the chairs at Cleveland

I don't pay enough attention to know this stuff. Is Simmons worthy of #8?

Didn't look like it in the playoff series against Boston, but he had a really good season as a "rookie" so his ceiling is probably up there

I'll never understand why people think Davis is already better than Curry and Harden.

Curry is a 2x MVP and 2x NBA Champion while AD has won a total of 5 playoff games in his career while never winning 50 games. AD puts up big numbers every year that don't translate to wins on the court.

If Anthony Davis had Steve Kerr, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, and Kevin Durant, the Pelicans would go 98-0 every season.

The fact that this is supposed to be a "current" top 10 list is hilarious

Not even close.

Let's do this

We now

Looked like an offensive foul to me

Foul for green was complete bull****

Curry is getting absolutely abused on defense.
