When referring to a "favorite" you're usually talking about betting. If you're not then it's just personal opinion and nobody is "wrong."
Warriors are currently the betting favorite to win the championship.
Sorry but that changes constantly and the Suns were favourites just a few days ago...now they say that the Warriors are favourites to win it all by an small margin...and what? It will change again in the next few days with some lose or win.
I don't get the fascination with whatever bets says, results are there for a reason. A team that reached the Finals last year and has been the best team so far in the league has to be considered the favourite to win it all.
You're right it could change. If the Suns dominate the Mavs and GS struggles with Memphis, we'll likely be the favorites again.
But the simple matter is if we're not the betting favorites, it's odd of you to go around saying we're the favorites. That won't compute for most people. If GS is the betting favorite then we are the underdogs on paper.
Which isn't a bad thing. I'd rather have the disrespect going into that series.
