sad!

@dlin007 is this based on seed or betting odds?

Warriors favored over Rockets and Clippers (barely) favored over Nuggets (not sure that counts cause Nuggets opened as the favorite then Clippers were like 52% favorites entering game 1)

@ChinmayTheMathGuy seeding

@dlin007 i should clarify this means >10 mins across the entire series

My special contrarian prediction for the first round is Warriors are going to lose quite easily

@dlin007 wanna define some terms for “easily”? Like, would you place odds on Warriors win 2 or fewer games? (Truly “easily” might be 1 or fewer but it’s tough, some 4-2s are ez and some are hard fought)

(I am basically getting caught up on the season now so have no real insight but I believe yours is indeed the contrarian position so I’d blindly take the mainstream one)

@Ziddletwix "expert predictions"

warriors are also ~60% favorites on oddschecker

my prediction is they lose in 6 games or less, and that my subjective judgement is they lost easily. bunch of ways to quantify that e.g point differential, time spent leading, prediction market odds trends etc
