A drop of 10 points from Game 1's closing number helps put me on the over in this Game 3 matchup of the Warriors-Cavaliers.




The first two games fell under the total during regulation. So there is some zig-zag involved here, but also the fact that the week layoff following the conference championship games and the Finals threw both offenses out of whack. Now the two teams have played a pair of games.




LeBron James ranks among the game's greatest players. He's at his peak. The Warriors can't stop him. He's going to do massive offensive damage especially now that the series shifts to Cleveland where James figures to get the majority of calls in his favor.




The Warriors, though, should pick up the pace now that they've had a couple of games to adjust to the Cavaliers. The slow pace of Sunday's Game 2 was not conducive to the Warriors.




It should be near impossible for Stephen Curry to miss 18 of 23 shots from the floor, including 13 of 15 from 3-point range, like he did this past Sunday. Curry is the most deadly shooter in the league.
