Anyone ride on the Warriors this game?



It seems that majority is on the Mavs to steal game 3, but Warriors are too good. As Curry says after their game 2 win, they have to carry this momentum in Dallas and that's what they did. Had a good first quarter and then Dallas come back in the 2nd. And we all know that Warriors is good at the 3rd quarter and that's what they did outscoring the Mavs by 9 points and that was enough for them to protect it in the 4th.

I guess the reason why the line is this close is because of how the Mavs performed in the second game where they led throughout the first half. With that said i'll take the Mavs spread on the first half and expect them to come out strong in the first two quarters. The Mavs first quarter seems juicy as well, I remember how the Warriors barely win first quarters during their series against the Grizzlies.




The result is unexpected, game 3 is supposed to be a game that Dallas should win but they can't really beat the Warriors although it's very obvious that the calls are on their favorite. Luka did a great job as usual but he still needed the help of his teammates who does not show up in that game.

Bullock was the missing link in this game, he was scoreless with 10 attempts.

I like the Warriors here, but that's simply because Over 2.33 odds for ML, I don't trust them well enough yet and Mavericks have showed how good they can be too, because they really should have won game 2 if not for the disastrous 3rd quarter they had.

The over 215.5 @ 1.85 looks good too, Dallas would have to outscore the Warriors to win this game and I don't see them keeping the Warriors below 100~105 points, So that's my call for today.

As for my ambitious prop's

Heat is on another level and I think this series will end in 5 games and personally , I see Miami taking the next 2 games and moving into finals.

Game from last night was a tough one for both of the teams but I'm glad we didn't see a game with under 90 points as that would be bad for an NBA game but awesome for basketball action as whenever low scores happens you even see 2 great defend teams or a lot of mistakes ...so both can be entertain.

Regarding tonight's game ...I find difficult for Mavs to comeback into this game but there is a slight possibility to win this game.
The game last night was intense as it looked as if it was all Miami in the first quarter. They were up 26 pts at one point from what I remember tuning in and out of it.
Celtics made an epic comeback late but it was not to be with Heat finishing what they started.
Now that was a playoff game and I hope that the ones coming up can match that intensity and not be a boring one sided event.

Tough game to bet.  Think I'm definately taking the over at 217.  Just can't figure on the game.  Getting 3 points I'm tempted to take the dubs again, I thought it would be more of an even spread.  Wierd that Memphis at home with ja were underdogs yet Dallas is getting -3.  Doesnt make sense to me.
Mavericks tonight are playing at home and Golden state are just getting started with their playoff form fully in tow.
Let's hope for a high scoring matchup with Luka vs Curry as I took the over as well.

J. Brunson 15+ points / L. Doncic 1+ steal / M. Kleber 1+ 3pt @1.89 ∆  X

It's a do or die for Dallas, if they go down 3-0, GSW will wrap the series up in 4.

I like what i saw from Brunson in game 2, he was aggressive with his shot and is likely to get north of 15 shot attempts again. He has scored 15 or more points in 6/L7.

Doncic has recorded one or more steals in eight consecutive games, hope that streak continues today.

Dallas will need a little more production from their bench, and with Kleber having only 2 3-pointers in the first two games and a -28 (+/-), i expect him to wake up and knock down a few from deep, as role players usually play better at home.

I'd probably go with the Warriors here.  Dallas will have their backs against the wall as they won't be coming back from 0-3 if they lose this game.  It's pretty much their season on the line here.  I think Dallas will throw everything they have at Golden State tonight, but I don't think they have enough for the win.  After the amazing start they got off to last game, you could see their spirit broken as Jordan Poole was smack talking all game and getting under their skin.  I don't think they're going to come back from blowing that lead.  It was like you could see them give up the series in real time.
I believe it's a more sensible choice, I don't know, but practically the Warriors are playing very well...
Is there any chance the Mavs can turn that score around? Although Luka is playing very well lately... but I don't know if he alone will be able to carry Dallas on his back...

Same.
Warriors are just +1 so it would be better to just take the ML. Warriors ML will be my bet. Over 215.5 seems to be probable to reach too as both are offensive teams when it comes to three-point numbers.
Again, we havent seen the splash brothers yet. I want to see a performance where both Klay and Steph are unstoppable at the three-point line. They are now at a good lead so this may calm them down and just play the game. No pressure means a lot. Their strokes may be better than their last performance.

I also lost on this game, riding on the -6.5 for the Celtics to win at home.

But it's a different scenario, Celtics this time starting slow and let the Heat established a good lead in the first quarter alone. Although they cut the lead to 2 if I'm not mistaken, the Heat is composed not to let this game slip away from them.

Marcus Smart injury is painful to watch though.  Sad

Looking forward to the next game: Warriors vs Mavs again.

It really is painful to watch, I could have bet for the Heat, and because I didn't know that Bam Adebayo could explode like that I have gone with the Boston Celtics, but that Jayson Tatum injury was really nasty, and I hope just like Marcus Smart, Tatum Injury was not really critical because if he has that kind of injury the next game I will be switching bets for the Miami Heat, but for now I will be focusing on tomorrows game instead.



So here is my pick for tomorrow's game the Western Conference Finals,

Dallas Mavericks VS Golden State Warriors (Warriors Leads 0 - 2)

Stake odds for this game were shifted now to 1.69 for the Mavericks while 2.23 for the Warriors Right now the Golden State Warriors have Andrew Wiggins and Andre Iguodala questionable if they can play for the Warriors while Mavericks still have Tim Hardaway Jr. can not play for the Dallas Mavericks, I think it shifted the bookie's odds because the Mavericks is now playing on their turf, But for me, I got this weird feeling that the Golden State Warriors will still have this win and this is going to be an upset game, even without Andrew Wiggins, Kevon Looney have shown that he is not only for defense the warrior players are starting to grow and unlock their potential 1 by 1 Now the Warriors can have a defensive and offensive game at the same time, so I am still going with the Warriors,

I'd probably go with the Warriors here.  Dallas will have their backs against the wall as they won't be coming back from 0-3 if they lose this game.  It's pretty much their season on the line here.  I think Dallas will throw everything they have at Golden State tonight, but I don't think they have enough for the win.  After the amazing start they got off to last game, you could see their spirit broken as Jordan Poole was smack talking all game and getting under their skin.  I don't think they're going to come back from blowing that lead.  It was like you could see them give up the series in real time.

But Marcus smart still managed to finish the game, so I presume that he is okay. Heat got the lead but the series is still not over, once the Celtics were able to tie it in game 4, this series will be more interesting as it's just going to be the best of 3 series.

Next game, Tatum has to explode, Brown alone could not help his team to win, he needs his buddy.

Tatum needs to overcome the defense of Tucker, he needs to work it out and find the best way to create his shots.

If he continues playing like this, Heat can take 2 games from their home court and have a comfortable lead moving back to Miami,
Boston needs to tie the series.

Adjustment over adjustment, both teams are surprising the fans from what will be the possible turn out of every game
they played.

I think you've got to be betting Boston here.  While Miami is going to try and bounce back, there are just too many things on Boston's side at the moment.  I'd be a little worried to have money riding on the Heat after the way they looked on the last game.  I think with the defensive player of the year back, Miami is having a hard time getting the ball in the hole.  I'm expecting Boston to take all their home games in the series so long as they can keep their main guys healthy and Taytum keeps scoring like an elite player.
Thinking about going against the flow. I believe Jimmy Butler loves fighting back when being cornered. It's not an ideal bet but I guess it's my instincts telling me to go bet for them. Going for Heat ML.
They will play harder than Game 2, that's for sure. The defense will be better and I think Coach Spo does have a card up in his sleeve to provide a higher winning chance. Risky Moneyline but it will be worth it if they claim the win.
Over 206.5 seems to be an easy score to reach.

Edit: Look out!

Kyle Lowry might play. I also saw his name in player props.


Great news for the Heat, and actually, as per this update, I think it's already confirmed.

Kyle Lowry is on track to make his return for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics

The line has not moved significantly yet, but it doesn't matter now, it's still a great news for the Heat, so let's see if Lowry could give a good minutes for the Heat who were badly beaten in game 2.


I think I will just wait until game time, just to make sure that he will play. I don't expect him to be a big threat on the offense but only on the defensive side and if he will bring the ball, that would help the heat to have a good ball rotation. No Butler all the time, everyone has to stepped up as that's the only way they can match the Celtics' offense.

True, I think his presence might be enough though, Gabe Vincent is good no question about it, but when we talk about experience and leadership, Kyle should be the one stepping up. Maybe limited minutes of him to be in the court, but I would say that it will help a lot to drive the offense for the Heat. I might go with the +6.5 for the Heat. Maybe the Celtics will win this game 3, but it's going to be close.

Congrats mate, big win by the Heat, though Butler did not return in the 2nd half, but they still manage the win. Kyle Lowry only made 11 points but his contribution on the defensive side is very appreciated, he had 4 steals in the game, that's super good already.

For those who are worried about Butler status, as per report, he is likely to play in game 4.

Thanks mate, I was wrong though, I thought that it will be Jimmy to carry the team but it was Bam Adebayo who did it for them. Kyle Lowry too as I have said will be a big influence and surely he did a lot and contribute with his assists and steals to help them get a 2-1 advantage Hopefully Butler and Tatum can get back in game 4 and make the game very exciting.

Seems like everyone is thinking that Mavericks will win tomorrow, I guess I'm going against your prediction guys.

Therefore, I will put my early pick and I would still bet on the Warriors ML and +2.
Also betting in over 218.5. GL everyone.

Miami Heat is 6.00 if they can win the next few games to win the series.
However, I highly doubt they'll do that because Celtics aren't going to give that so easy on them.
I still remember when I tought Bucks will beat them in 6 but Celtics won the next two games, they are a good team, they won't easily give up.

Regarding tonight's game ...I find difficult for Mavs to comeback into this game but there is a slight possibility to win this game.
Mavs just have to win game 3 and the complex of the series will surely change.

Boston Celtics VS Miami Heat (Heat Leads 1 - 2) - LOST

Lost the game today, but it was OK because these two teams really have given us a great game, No Jimmy Butler no problem for the Miami Heat and P.J. Tucker have played for this game, Kyle Lowry and Gabe Vincent as well, and the Celtics are having a hard time with Bam Adebayo this time while Marcus Smarts have Tripped and had a sudden pained but returned immediately but still limping a little, while Al Horford having a good game with a double-double performance, of 14 rebounds and 20 points, while Marcus Smart has 16 points, Jayson Tatum does only 10 points and Jaylen Brown was really the one creating plays has 40 points it was not enough for the Miami Heat have P.J. Tucker has 17 points, Max Strus got 16 points Kyle Lowry has 11 points and Bam Adebayo has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 31 points, a close game and steal a win on the home court of the Boston Celtics, and on the 4th quarter Jayson Tatum was down, I really don't know what happened between him and Victor Oladipo, but he was hurt and down,

I may have lost this game but it was sure a fun and competitive game to watch, I really thought that the Boston Celtics would pull a Golden State Warriors kind of win, but both teams lost their superstars, and let's see on the next game if what may happen,
