That's true though, I really don't know what's with their mentality on the road, but at least they had to get 2 wins on the road in order to advance against Sacramento Kings, so it's just gotta be the same against Lakers, but Steve Kerr players lack intact brilliant communication in on some levels when there are certain player different combinations.

I think they need to experiment a large roster of the players combination to be successful this season, Looney despite being very great for the warriors in this playoffs, he's been quite a liability with handling the ball and not offensive minded in any light, he becomes a loop hole when the teams decides to go small against warriors.

Betting against the Warriors on the road seems to have been the wise choice all year long. Tonight the Lakers covered the spread with nearly 27 points on top of it. I don’t know what it is about the Warriors on the road but they’ll need to get it figured out. This wasn’t even a far trip for them as this and their last series was played entirely in California…

Oops, what turn a of events that was in my opinion, but I hate driving the narrative that wrongs often decide games in the playoffs, this was almost like the same shit from game 1, but then it was not just on the officiating alone the warriors weren't entirely locked in and let the frustration off the calls get to them early, and really poor conversion rate in the 2nd and 3rd, and very poor communication skill on court cost them the game.

The Lakers are now dominating the Warriors after getting dominated in Game 2. It's a good start for the Lakers on their first home game, and if you're a Lakers fan, this game is definitely enjoyable. The Warriors could end up losing big time here, but it's not surprising since they have a very bad record on the road.

As of now, I think the series will be 2-1 in favor of the Lakers.

I'm late!  So sleepy yesterday.

Going for the Warriors today. I want to see if they can keep the momentum going after a win in Chase Center. Now, they will be in the Lakers' home Crypto.com Arena. They are now on lead so I got the handicap of -4.5.
If only I was early then I could've got a better deal with the Money line since they are the underdog this time.

It looks like Lebron will turn into a monster today attacking the paint most of the time because the Warriors don't really have a big man to protect it. I bet he will take advantage of that.

Playing at home should give the Lakers a bit of an extra drive, but getting destroyed by a 27 point gap in the last game makes me tend towards a Warriors win. Even if Curry isn't scoring as mad as he did against the Kings, the Warriors have still dominated the Lakers so hard in the last game. They have more variance in their game I think. Curry had a 3-5 on his 3-pointers and he could play much riskier if needed in a certain situation during the game. That is a big weapon they have there.
The Heat played this one strong, but still this was a game that I thought would end much closer. Now with another home game they can set an important sign and take a huge lead and continue their somewhat surprising journey.

When in doubt, bet on the defending champions. The Warriors have made the adjustments and I think they will still continue with that, going small lineup. So it's time for coach Ham to carve out his own adjustments in game 3. And I like how the Warriors are going to be the underdog here, so even at ML right now is better at 2.3x. And with that, I will go with the Warriors on the road, bigger risks, bigger rewards. 

Best of luck to everyone!!!.


I also didn't touch this game, Miami Heat though has a huge lead so congrats to those who bet on the Heat and chances are the Heat taking a 2-1 already.

I can't figure out which way to go on the lakers/golden state game.  I think I'm just gonna bang the over and the Lakers 1st half -2.  No clue how this ends but Lakers shoukd come out firing at home.

Didn't touch the Knicks game today but I might hit the mid game over.  Knicks can't shoot this bad the entire game...well they can but I'm betting they don't lol.

Both Kuminga and Poole are not happy with the minutes that they are getting.

Obviously, when Wiggins re-enter the picture, Kuminga will have to step aside, and I think its' more on the defense department. Moody has more minutes because he has good defense fundamentals, with JaMychal Green he has the experience. With Poole, we all what it is, he try to be Steph Curry  and then committing turn-overs after turn-overs.

I'll go with the Warriors +3.5.

Here is my bet for the games later.

Miami Heat vs New York Knicks
The New York Knicks will continue their Eastern Conference Semifinal series against Miami Heat at Kaseya Center tonight. The series is tied 1-1 after the Knicks took revenge on their first game loss against Miami Heat. Julius Randle is playing but I think Heat is still favorable to win this game since Jimmy will be Jimmy and the home advantage will be their biggest advantage going out against the Knicks. I believe Butler will do a monster performance again this game to cheers the home crowd.
Heat key injuries: Jimmy Butler (ankle) questionable, Haywood Highsmith (knee) probable, Caleb Martin (back) questionable

Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors
The Los Angeles Lakers will host the visiting Golden State Warriors for the 3rd game of their Western Conference Semifinals series. The Golden State Warriors were able to even the series after a convincing win. It was their home though, now, they are playing on the turf of the Lakers. Expect AD and Lebron to be working extra to give the home crowd a good game.

Lakers key injuries: Anthony Davis (foot) probable, Lebron James (foot) probable

Tomorrow's game on NBA Conference SemiFinals

Miami Heat(-185) VS New York Knicks(+160)

The game is in Kaseya Center the home court for the Heat and right now Tyler Herro can not play for the Heat because of a hand injury, Jimmy Butler had an ankle injury, Haywood Highsmith has a knee injury, Caleb Martin has a back injury and doubtful if they can play against the Knicks for tomorrows game, while Knicks Jericho Sims is out for this season, Right now if Jimmy Butler can not play for the Heat the Knicks will surely win this, but I guess Jimmy Buckets will play in this game because they need it, so my pick if the Heat, 

Los Angeles Lakers(-150) VS Golden State Warriors(+130)

The game is in Crypto.com Arena the home court for the Lakers and right now LeBron James has a foot injury, Anthony Davis has a foot injury aswell, and Mo Bamba has an ankle injury all three players are doubtful they can play for this game, while Patrick Baldwin Jr. has a toe injury and is doubtful if he can play for the Warriors, I guess the momentum was with the Warrior I think even on the road they can continue their winning because they know how to counter the Lakers right now,

It might be safer to take the +3 handicap in favor of the Warriors. While they have already won two games on the road in the first round against the Sacramento Kings, it's hard to trust them completely on the road, especially against a team like the LA Lakers. We'll have to wait and see what happens in tomorrow's game.

By the way, I read an article that mentioned fans are unhappy with Kuminga getting fewer minutes in the playoffs. What do you think is the reason?



Butler is listed as questionable, so you might as well wait until game time to ensure that you know the available lineup of each roster to play.

They are the underdog, as the Warriors will have to travel on Lakers home court and they are not known to be a road team though, so good luck for those who are going to take a risk on the Warriors game 3 at crypto.com.

For the Heat vs Knicks, I haven't check any news on Jimmy Butler, if he is going to play or not. So I wouldn't pull the trigger yet, even if they are the favorite in game 3 based on ML currently.

I will follow the momentum of the Warriors. They dominated the Lakers in game 2 and, even though they will be on the road, I think they are capable of winning as long as Klay continues to have his impressive 3-point shooting. While LeBron and Davis may be questionable, I highly doubt they'll miss this very important game. But for me, it's still all Warriors.

Because I haven't made any bet and I missed to bet for today's game here are my bets for tomorrows games,

Miami Heat VS New York Knicks GAME 3 Tied 1 - 1

The stake odds for this game are 1.58 for the heat and 2.46 for the Knicks, Right now Tyler Herro can not play for the Heat, Haywood Highsmith, Caleb Martin and Jimmy Butler are all questionable if they can play for the Heat, while Jericho Sims is out for the season for the Knicks, for this game if Jimmy Butler would not have a chance in playing in this game this is a sure win for the Knicks but the Heat will surely rely heavy on Butler, that is why game 3 could be a win for the New York Knicks,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Golden State Warriors GAME 3 Tied 1 - 1

The stake odds for this game are 1.65 for the Lakers and 2.31 for the Warriors, right now Mo Bamba, Anthony Davis, and LeBron James are all questionable if they can play for the Lakers, while the Golden State Warriors have Patrick Baldwin Jr. that have a toe injury and are doubtful if he can play for the Warriors well that inconsistency of Anthony Davis was due to Draymond Green guarding him I have watch the full video Draymond Green might not be the best guard for Davis but it is affecting Davis I think the Warriors have exposed the Lakers this time, so my pick is the Golden State Warriors taking the win on game 3,

Of course, and with that, you won your bet. It's easier to cap the totals than the point spread for this game. Honestly, I thought the 76ers would be able to dominate in their first game at home, but that didn't happen because once again, the guards of the 76ers struggled.

James Harden went 3-14 and T. Maxey went 4-16. They can't win games with that kind of performance.

Regarding the second game, the Phoenix Suns were able to secure the win after a good performance in the fourth quarter against the Denver Nuggets. If the Suns hadn't been able to stop the big run by the Nuggets, this series might not have gone back to Denver, so congratulations to the Suns.

@jakelyson I love the courage of putting both ML in a parlay, I am tailing you on that one.
It's difficult to decide which team will win the 2nd game today, that's why I just tailed the parlay. But in the first game, I think the 76ers will win.
Philadelphia 76ers - Boston Celtics - Philadelphia 76ers ML
An underdog on their own turf and their own crowd, I think that will boost their confidence and provide them with the energy to be able to win this game. Embiid is in questionable status but I already saw him warming up so he is going to play. Very good news for the 76ers for an added extra power in both ends of the floor.
Over 211.5 should also be reachable in this game. Good luck everyone.

∆ K. Durant 25+ points / K. Durant 5+ rebounds / D. Booker 25+ points / D. Booker 5+ assists @1.94 ∆  won

I'm going with a double play on Durant and Booker in what is my favorite 2nd round matchup to bet on.

Durant has cleared the 25+ points line in all but one postseason games so far, their last against Denver, having an off night from deep 2/12. Given the gravity of Game 3 i can see him and Book both go over 30 points. Durant has recorded over 5 rebounds in 7/L7. Booker has cleared 25 pts in 7/L7 averaging over 35 points in the playoffs, with C. Paul being out he should help with the playmaking, not just scoring. 31 assists in his last 4 games ain't too bad.


∆ K. Durant 1+ blocks / D. Booker 1+ steals @1.80 ∆  won

Durant is averaging 1.4 blocks in the playoffs and has 5 against the Nuggets so far in the series. The Suns will need their superstar to be great on the defensive end as well.  Booker with 2 steals per game in the playoffs, at least one steal in 6 /L7. I expect Denver's turnover number to double on the road.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics

The Philadelphia 76ers are taking on the Boston Celtics in game 3 at Wells Fargo Center, Key injuries for the 76ers are Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable, and Key Injuries for the Boston Celtics are Danilo Gallinari (knee) out, and Blake Griffin (back) out, for this game, James Harden can fire up even though they don't have Joel Embiid, but I think Joel Embiid will play for this game for sure but right now I don't think that the James Harden will not let the Celtics build momentum anymore, so my bet is the Philadelphia 76ers,

Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets

The Phoenix Suns are taking on the Denver Nuggets in game 3 at Footprint Center, key injuries for the Phoenix Suns are Chris Paul (Groin), While the Denver Nuggets' key injury was Collin Gillespie (lower leg) out for this season, for this game I really think that the Phoenix Suns are not yet ready for the finals the Suns team is not in sync for now with Kevin Durant not like with the Brooklyn Nets there is not much chemistry and will be needing a lot of time for him to get used with the Suns' team, but the Denver Nuggets are a solid team that can win this game,

Golden State Warriors VS Los Angeles Lakers - GAME 2 Tied 1 - 1 - WIN

It was a great performance for the Golden State Warriors and Lebron James looks really frustrated, he really badly wants this win for sure, but the Warriors have come strong in this game, and managed to capitalize on their lead, while Lebron James has now benched and all this game a win for the Warriors you can see it they are reserving James to go even further in this game and because of that injury he needed a rest by the lead was too much for the Lakers, this game a good Lakers win,

Picks for games today

Philadelphia 76ers VS Boston Celtics - GAME 3 Tied 1 - 1

The game is in Wells Fargo Center the home court of the 76ers and right now Joel Embiid has a knee injury but is still questionable, while Blake Griffin and Danilo Gallinari can not play for the Celtics for this game I think the Boston Celtics now can make this game theirs I really think that the Celtics can surely play even not at home, and a good winning percentage on game away so hoping for them to win this game,

Phoenix Suns VS Denver Nuggets - GAME 3 DEN Leads 2 - 0

The game is in Footprint Center the home court of the Suns, and right now Chris Paul is out with a groin injury, while Collin Gillespie is out for the season for the Nuggets, for this game making their way to the finals maybe the Suns can accumulate many points but I doubted it as leading this game was the Nuggets, if the Suns can not win this game the Nuggets could sweep them out, so for this game, I will go with the Nuggets,
