B-R.com now gives the Cavs a .198 chance of winning both remaining games.
Not sure how HCA is figured; here are some possible G6*G7 probabilities that equal .198

[Mike G]

So ... LeBron has more eWins than any 2 Warriors. Even bigger disparity in VORP; Win Shares a similar story, like last year but more so.

Even missing a game, Draymond leads the Dubs in WS and VORP.
Last year, JVG was one of 4 who voted LeBron for mvp. During game 6, he said it would be a "travesty" if he doesn't win it this time -- win or lose. It's a historic performance, again.

[Mike G]

LeBron's round by round progression has been remarkable. Per game averages:

He went 41 mpg in rd 1 vs Det; 36/37 in the middle rounds; now 41 again in the Finals.
His 'advanced' numbers also keep improving with the competition:

Several guys disappeared from the Cavs' rotation in the last few games. As their team did better, some of their rates improved while they were out.

Here's a game-by-game accounting of Win Shares, VORP, and eWins.
I didn't tabulate for game 1, so gms 1 and 2 are averaged; sorry about that.
First, the teams:

Code: Select all

5    Cle     .93    .48    .72

7    Cle     .61    .32    .57
7    GSW     .40    .22    .43

These are from earlier tables showing player and team cumulative totals; themselves derived by subtracting earlier rounds from playoff totals.
VORP total almost exactly half of what WS and eW total. So I'll create an xyz = (WS + 2*vorp + eW)/3 -- to get an average "wins" measure from these 3 stats.
Again averaging gms 1 & 2, leaders by game:

-.04  Kevin Love     Cle   29  -.08  -.05   .04

I'm only listing players with either (a) xyz > .10 or (b) min > 24
(Nobody played 21 to 24 min in any game, so that's a handy cutoff.)
These opening games were obviously all-Warriors. Barbosa and Livingston were the surprise stars.

After a back-and-forth, the Cavs' odds were longer yet.
Curry was the clear "mvp" of one game at least.
And then it's all Cleveland:

Draymond's game 7 ranks up there with Magic in '80, Worthy in '88, perhaps others that snagged a Finals MVP award.
I was slightly disappointed that we didn't get to find out whether LeBron could have taken it in a losing effort.
