Last night’s game was an absolute disaster for Lebron and his Cavs. I posted in the VIP picks section that I felt Golden State would win and cover the spread, but that prediction was based more on GS’s momentum than anything else. Rather, last night GS showed that they are absolutely the better team and I don’t see how the Cavs will manage to beat them at all during this series.
When the combined stat lines for Klay Thompson and Steph Curry are less than Lebron’s and GS still wins by 15 points they start to look unstoppable. The splash bros each had horrible games – a combined 20 points, 8 assists, 10 rebounds – but the golden state bench stepped up and kept them alive. This represents a huge missed opportunity for cleveland. Had they capitalized on the uncharacteristically poor performance by the two superstars and pulled off a win, they would be walking into game two confident and with all the momentum. Instead they will go into game 2 full of shame and regret. I don’t see them bouncing back from this.
So, what does this mean for the rest of the series? This game was likely a worst-case scenario for a GS home game and they easily covered the spread. However, the line for sunday’s game is -6.5, a mere one point steeper than last night. The moral of the story is bet the warriors on sunday.
