**********

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: College hoop knowledge........

13) Klay Thompson played three years at Washington State; Coogs went 55-44 during that time, 23-31 in conference games. Since he left, Wazzu is 64-98, 22-68 in Pac-12.

12) Pullman is most remote town in Pac-12, tough place to win, but in the two years before Thompson got to the Paloose, they were 52-17, 24-12 in league play, because Tony Bennett is an amazing coach, which is why he is at Virginia now. Bennett was Thompson's coach for one year, then left for the ACC.

11) Steph Curry played three years at Davidson, then in the Southern Conference. Wildcats went 85-20 in the Curry era, 55-3 in SoCon games. Since he left Davidson, they are 149-80, 93-31 in conference play and even moved up to the Atlantic 14.

10) Davidson's coach Bob McKillop is one of the best coaches in the country; they were 59-20 in league games before Curry got to Charlotte-- still amazing to me that neither Steph or Seth Curry went to Virginia Tech, where their day played. .

9) College basketball teams with shortest average possessions LY:
Green Bay 13.4 seconds, Washington 13.6, Marshall 13.9

8) Teams with longest average possessions LY:
American 21.1 seconds, Denver 20.77, Wisconsin 20.4.

Cleveland-Golden State
Warriors won last five games with Cleveland, beating Cavaliers in six games in LY's Finals; once again they're facing a rookie NBA head coach in Finals. Golden State rallied back from down 3-1 to beat Thunder in semis, winning Game 7 Monday. Cleveland has not played since Friday. Cavaliers are 12-2 in playoffs, 7-2 on road going 1-2 at Toronto in Eastern finals- their guards aren't as good on defense as Thunder, a problem against Curry-Thompson.

Playoff tally: Favorites vs spread: 26-18, Over: 13-31

Is LeBron a good bet on the NBA's biggest stage?

LeBron James led teams are just 3-8 ATS in the last two NBA Finals.

We all know by now that this will be the sixth consecutive season featuring LeBron James in the NBA Finals and his seventh Finals appearance overall. We also know that he has won just two NBA titles in his six trips to the Finals.

But what does that mean for bettors? Is LeBron a good bet in the Finals? Or is the Finals the time to fade the "King"?

Well, lets take a look.

James has played in a total of 33 NBA Finals games during his career, posting just a 13-20 record in those games. That's a winning percentage of just 39.4 percent. So, not the best,

Looking deeper into that number you can see, when LeBron loses a Finals series, it never goes the distance and usually, they end rather quickly, averaging just 5.2 games per Finals. In the four Finals LeBron has lost his record is just 5-16 (23.8 percent).

Unfortunately when it comes to the spread, the numbers look very similar.

LeBron led teams are 13-19-1 against the spread in the Finals, cashing just 40.6 percent of the time. In fact, LeBron has had a winning ATS record just once in the NBA Finals. That was back in 2012, going 4-1 ATS on his way to leading the Miami Heat to the NBA Championship in five games over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Since winning the series versus the Thunder it has been even worse.

LeBron led teams are just 6-12 ATS (33.3 percent) in the three seasons since, including just 3-8 ATS (27.3 percent) in the last two seasons. LeBron lost both of those Finals.

So while many pundits believe LeBron's legacy will be shaped by this Finals appearance, bettors should know not to put too much trust in the "King" this time around against Golden State.
