Seems like the figures won't do much because they are now against the Boston Celtics who have successfully defeated the defending champion and other heavy teams in the playoffs. Now that they're back strong and healthy again, I reckon they could do more than what they showed in the 4th quarter.

I'm also a Warriors fan but I cannot just deny the talents of these Celtics. It's true, the Warriors still have a chance to bounce back and stats says that they will always bounce back after a lose. I really hope that will be the case later because the Warriors cannot afford to lose two home games as they will play at the road for the next two games. We'll see later how would they adjust against the Celtics.

Yes, the one who adjust the most will have the most chances to win this series. I hope that the key players of the both teams will sustain their health until the Finals are over because being undermanned with just a single game will really put any of these team at the disadvantage.

The Boston Celtics have sustained from being dominated for three consecutive quarters and they kept the lead close at all cost so that they could take the lead if ever the Warriors lower their guard for just a moment and that's what they did. They used the remaining time to cover the gap and managed to clutch by shooting outside the paint.

Even after a defeat, the bookies still think the Warriors could win this Game 2 and I don't doubt that.
I am betting for the Warriors -4.5. I know they can win this and they showed they can during the 3rd quarter of Game 1 where they are known to defeat every opponent.
It's just a matter of how they can preserve it to secure a win until the end of the game.
Adding an Over 214.5 which I think is reachable.

Tomorrow will be the deciding game if the Celtics just get lucky or if they can get another win against the Warriors on the home court now this is my pick and what I think may happen with the game 2 of the NBA finals, my pick will be highlighted in green,

Golden State Warriors VS Boston Celtics (Celtics Lead 0 - 1)

Stake odds for this game are 1.54 for the Warriors while 2.55 for the Celtics, and right now the injury update for these two teams are still the same, Gary Payton II, Otto Porter Jr., and Andre Iguodala are questionable if they can play for the Warriors, while Robert Williams III is questionable for the Celtics, that game 1 win for the Celtics was really an upset for the Warriors and it surely surprises Stephen Curry sitting on the bench because they are really dominating the game, right now and the Celtics just rob it on 4th quarter, I really think that Stephen Curry will sure fire up again on game 2, while Klay Thompson will be upset on him just made 15 points on game 1 I would love to see him fire-up while Jordan Poole is not splashing enough aswell, and Wiggins just made too many errors on game 1 I think this is the things the Golden State Warriors needs to solidify on game 2 if they want to win, and not underestimating the Boston Celtics, because the Celtics surely has good mentality when it comes on playing basketball, but for me this will be a game for the Warriors, but like what I have shown from the past games of the Warriors I think Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green would fuel them to be even more on game 2,

That's the right bet, just don't overthink, Warriors will bounce back and will even the series.

What the Warriors will do here is they will give Curry more playing time.
I think the strategy of the Warriors is very simple, let Curry played the whole 1st quarter and the 3rd quarter, that's why they are good at these quarters. So if Warriors wants to ensure a win, they need to play him more minutes, about 40 minutes is a must.

I think the -4.5 is still a good odds for the Warriors and they can still cover for it in game 2. Unless it's going to be another disaster for them if the Celtics have a good shooting night again. But for sure Warriors are going to cover that and won't allow it to happen again.

So I would agree that the Warriors are going to comeback strong in game 2 and going to bounce back after that embarrassing lost.

You can bet the Warriors as lows as -2.5 on Stake currently. I'm considering giving 6.5 and wagering a few hundred on the game. I really feel like the Warriors might be feeling a little embarrassed for the 4th quarter performance in game 1 and will come out strong in game 2.

Just a fraction though, and what I meant that they are still the favorite to win game 2 despite that lost. So yes, as they are the favored, they will have to win it this time.

The Warriors can't go and dominate the first 40 minutes of the game, all eyes will be in the 4th quarter again in this game 2 specially if the Celtics was able to keep up with them. They will have to figure out something to stop them from getting those three's. I don't think they will have to push the panic button though, they will just have to play defense the whole 48 minutes. But we have to admit that the Celtics flipped the numbers of the road team winning game 1 in NBA finals.

You have a point, again it's going to be who adjustment to the game itself that might win the finals. Like in the first game, I would say Boston did a good job in the 4th or in the entire game because they switch their strategy to become a shooting team, and the Warriors is not expecting it. So now the Warriors will have to play defense inside and then outside and not let their shooters having easy looks. And then I expect Klay to have a good bounce back game. I think he needs to score at least 20 points in game 2 or more. He will be the key.

In my opinion, they will not focus on Al Horford more, because there is Derrick White and Jaylen Brown that also make adjustments in the 4th quarter, and don't forget Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smarts that could also do great feats just like that, anyway I really think that they will play the game normally because they are at the advantage  41-48 mins or so on the game the only adjustments that the Celtics get was the 4th Quarter, I think they will continue their game but become more dominant with the scores, but as we can see the Stephen Curry was the only Warriors to fired up on that game Andrew Wiggins, Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole, or even Draymond Green doesn't have exploded on the get that night, and for me, that 4th quarter adjustment of the Celtics will not be forever let's say they are lucky or they got carried away on the heat of the moment, we don't usually see those players throw three's very consistent in their pass games, I got my high stakes that the Warriors will win the Finals,

When we look at the previous games of the Warriors we could see that they can or they will bounce back from an upset or when pressured,

This is just a reference to the Warrior's recent games that they can come back from a loss, and I know Warriors players are different back then and now, but Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green are still there back then I think as a "fan" I really just want to have faith on them.

They have to because if they will play again just like their play last game then I highly doubt that they could get a revenger later in Game 2. Their mistake was they guarded the paint too much and not the 3 point line because they expected that the Celtics will attack the paint more often than shooting a long three, turns out they were really wrong about that. This time, they will guard Horford more whether outside or inside the paint because they now know Horford's capabilities and also they should watch out for Tatum because he might go berserk later unlike in the 1st game that he chose to give the spotlight to his teammates.

In the recent win of the Celtics, the odds might shift a little, but many are still in favor of the Warriors, and in-game two I believe that they really need to cover that spread and they need to up their Defense Andrew Wiggins needs to focus on defense more than his offense because the Boston Celtics is pretty much serious about this finals,


Just like what you said it is really unexpected for the Boston Celtics to win game 1 at Golden State home court because this team never losses on their home advantage, but the upset has done,  I think that the Warriors will need to stop keeping relying on Stephen Curry and Stephen Curry can not win the game on his own, The Golden State Warriors will need to up their defense they are lacking in game 1 I haven't seen them played this bad, but maybe the Celtics defense has something to do with it, 

What Brown did attacking the paint many times made an impact on the Golden State Warriors' defense. They thought they can't shoot outside because the numbers on the paper tell it all.
I mean look at this comparison.
3rd Quarter.

4th Quarter

https://www.espn.ph/nba/game/_/gameId/401442530
From 3/7 to 7/10 in 3 point line by the Celtics. That's way big for an adjustment and I am glad they saw that. The Warriors stopped focusing on outside defense because of the Celtics' low percentage in 3 quarters, especially against Horford.

That's what the Warriors do as well, I must say that the Warriors have faced a tough challenger that has a chance to win the NBA Finals, in fact, a bigger chance than them based on the current betting odds.

Warriors have to change the complexion of the series, if they'll win game 2, they'll probably be still the favorites in the betting sites to win the NBA Finals.

This is the first time I see the Warriors are an underdog in the NBA Finals (after game 1 loss of course).

The warriors just have to improve their defense, actually, they did a great job by limiting Jason Tatum, unfortunately, the Celtics are not like a Lebron team where the entire team relied on him to carry for a win, the Celtics are different, their brand of basketball is teamwork and that's why we saw in game 1.

When one struggles, somebody will step up, and what we have seen in game 1 is that Brown and especially Horford have stepped up.

I think they will have to adjust their defense in game 2 and shouldn't allow that easy look from the outside and give the Celtics to shoot again.

The Warriors are still favor in game 2 and I'm not surprised that many are still going to back them up despite the unexpected lost they got in the first game.

No, the odds are different in game 2.

Game 1 - Warriors -3.5
Game 2 - Warriors -4.5

That odds tells that Warriors will likely win game 2, it's a must-win for them and for sure they'll cover that spread if their defense will not collapse.

Who hans't lost their beat on Warriors? ML or handicap? hehehe. Funny though that I didn't watch the game as I was just following the score online because I believed that the Warriors are going to win this one and cover the handicap bet that I made.

I think it the odds are still the same in Game 2 for the Celtics. They are still on the road, so they will be the underdog here. The odds might shift to their favor in Game 3 though specially if they are going to win the next game.

Many have a sure bet for the Warriors thinking that they can beat the Celtics easily, and I really think they nearly did, because the Warriors is pretty dominant on the 1st half until the 3rd quarter, but Al Horford happen and take that game 1 from the Warriors with a confused Stephen Curry,

The Golden State Warriors have underestimated the Boston Celtics just this once, they also made their mistakes in-game and in their game, with the Grizzlies in game 3 they think they can pulverize the Grizzlies because Ja Morant was not on the team, but the Golden State Warriors was wrong because the Grizzlies is a different team without Ja Morant, I think the Celtics here is a different team from winning from the Heat and their Determination was really double while playing against the Warriors but I guess the Warriors will be a different team on game 2 and may win at home court,


Pretty much there will be bettor that could be confused on the situation right now, or they can switch to the Boston Celtics because of that game 1 win, but for me, I still think that the Warriors can make mistakes, and Game 1 was their test Stephen Curry is the only 1 stepping up his game, while others seem to have lost their touch the Golden State Warriors will need to review the game 1 and look further on how they can shift it up, but I think the lack of interest to win was not there for the other Warriors players and needs to wake up because this is the finals and not a regular game,


On stake.com the odds are 1.57 for the Warriors while 2.48 for the Celtics the Golden State Warriors still are the favorite despite game 1 loss, and for me, I think it is really just getting started, the Warriors can be a little out for Game 1 but for me that lost was a wake up call for the other players of the Warriors that the Boston Celtics is a bigger wall to climb,

Same here I lost my Warriors bet but luckily I took part in a promo that saved my bet from losing and stopped me from sweating the rest of the game. I might go with the match-winner again even though the odds are a bit lower than the first game I think the Warriors can't go down 0-2 before going to Boston. What are the odds when you took Celtics to win the series? I'm interested to see the odds difference before the series started and after the upset.

I guess you're not the only one supporting the Warriors to win game one and even with a handicap win. However, as the saying goes, the ball is round and that not the Celtics is the better team specially shooting 3's.

So now it's back to the drawing board for the Warriors, they let this game away, specially entering the 4th quarter. They need to have a good comeback win in Game 2.
