As expected, the Celtics will dominate the game after they've been blown out the last game. It was really evident when almost all of them will start to play seriously and make use of their sizes to have an advantage. Williams III was having a blast blocking the shots from the Warriors, he even got 4 blocks while Jaylen Brown was having his best game in the Finals.

They made a huge bounce back, although the Warriors remained strong in the 3rd quarter and were able to make the game close the Celtics again took over the 4th quarter. I am concerned about Curry's ankle, he was hurt when he dived for the ball, hopefully, he is fine as the team needs him in game 4 to even the series.
I think he was fine. He still played the game for minutes before sitting on the bench as the lead was nowhere to catch up. Thankfully, he is though as Horford is a big man who could've really hurt him if his foot was in a different position.

How about the officials? Are you guys happy about the sudden change from no calls at games 1 and 2 to extreme usage of their whistles in Game 3?
Early foul trouble, Draymond was fouled out, bonus was too early like 5 more minutes of game time and it's already a free shot when a foul is made.
For me, there's always room for improvement. It's the Finals, it's going to be physical.

I hope next game the refs will favor the Warriors. If they want to make this series an interesting one, they should let the Warriors win game 4 so this will reach to game 7. Refs favoring the Celtics, I understand that because people were all over the Warriors in game 3, and now that Celtics won, I think they'll now put their bets on the Celtics to win again.

If the series will be tied at 2-2 before game 5, then the Warriors might win in game 7 if this will reach to game 7.

Warriors had a great chance because they are good at home, but let us not forget what Celtics did in the ECF, they beat the Heat on the road in game 7, so they are not a team that we can underestimate as they have a lot of weapons to beat their opponent. I can't wait to see game 3, I like to see how the Celtics would respond after they got shut down by the Warriors in the previous game.

That's a tough thing to say because honestly, this series we're now watching is really interesting and we cannot say that our speculations will come true. The Warriors are good at playing in their home, no doubt but the Celtics are also good playing in road games so it's a tough challenge for both of the teams. Game 3 is still a mystery because we cannot really say who will win because the Celtics aren't reliable at home but the Warriors will surely adjust too because it's not their home. I'm excited to see what would happen next game.

Yes, there's no assurance that a team can outperform their opponents. We don't know how good both teams

will come out from the locker and surprise their fans. Both are capable of winning a road game. We all
witness that and we can't tell that anyone can fully dominate the game.

More on your own decisions in picking your side. Picking up your team is more on how you trust them
and how you believe that they will give you the win that you desire.

I get that but as of now, it seems to me that the Warriors are having a hard time winning at road and the Celtics are the one who are more proven to win at road even at home. I'm glad that I took the favorites handicap last minute before the game started because it was already somehow clear that they will win even if it was just a 1st quarter round. I just hope though that both teams will finish this whole series without some injuries.

I can't wait to see game 3, I like to see how the Celtics would respond after they got shut down by the Warriors in the previous game.

Same here. I will wait for the outcome of game 3. I would probably bet on games 3's loser in game 4.

Iirc, game one was GSW's first homecourt defeat this playoffs? It is really hard to count out Boston Celtics yet. Youth, speed and size are on their side. These coming two straight Celtics homecourt games factors a lot in this series. If it becomes 2-2, then we have a hell of a championship series. My only hope is that there will be no injuries in this championship series.         

Exactly! The series is now tied 1-1 and that surely makes it tougher which team to bet for the game later. The Warriors have done pretty well for having a blow out win in the 2nd game after their defeat on the first one but I'm not exactly sure if they can duplicate that win later because they are now playing in the Boston Celtics home. What an interesting series!

Right, up to this point, I don't know who to bet in this game, I'm want the Warriors to win, but we can't just totally ignore the Celtics as this is their first time playing finals at Boston garden after so many years. And as betting favorites, they are going to pleased their fans. So they have a good chance to win in game 3 and took a 2-1 lead. So maybe I will go with them handicap -2.5.

I hope you did bet on the favorites and if you did then I'd like to congratulate you Cheesy

Well I should have listen to my guts in this game, I have a feeling that the Celtics are going to win, but I wanted to see the Warriors as well as I'm a fan.

Tough decision but as a fan maybe it's weight that part inside you, Boston played well today, just like how

Warriors played last game 2, they adjust both in offense and defense.

Quote
Nevertheless, we still have a lot of incoming games, I don't think that the Celtics jobs is done here. They have to win the next game. And that is very important because they will have a commanding lead by them. But I will still go with the Warriors in game 4, their backs is on the wall and they should win that to stay away from a 3-1 deficit.

This coming game 4 is important on both sides, if Warriors do allow Boston to win another game

it might be tough for them to make a comeback. It's a must win to tie these series or else they will
be at risk having that 1-3 standing.

Thumbs up for the Celtics' defense. They still lose in the 3rd quarter but somehow they didn't let the Warriors get their way in the 4th quarter. Good job.
Draymond Green got too emotional (frustrated) about everything and was fouled out. I know he is trying to play hard but there's a better way to do it.
Points distribution for the Celtics is great. Jaylen Brown starting hot made a good impression on the whole team getting them pumped up.
Robert Williams's defense is at a high level too and it became contagious.
1/2
Loss my bet for GSW but this is better, giving me a little bit of profit.

I haven't put my pick yet and the game is already in the 3rd Quarter and the game was very close that we wouldn't know who's going to win game 3, I really want Golden State Warriors to win this game, but the Boston Celtics also deserve in winning this season, Jayson Tatum is a hard-working young fellow and so is the team of the Boston Celtics I am really torn in making my picks today so I decided not to post what I think about will happen, but still supporting the Golden State Warriors, but if the Boston Celtics win the finals it is because they really needed it and they really earn and deserves a win this season of the NBA finals,

Well, that is what I am feeling right now and it is mixed emotions on my side, and as I am posting this the game is in the 4th Quarter with a 98 - 91 score Boston Celtics leading the game.

I think even though they play this game at home, it's not necessarily the warriors who can win, this all depends on the strategy and luck of the players, as long as they don't make mistakes and don't give the slightest chance to the opponent then the warriors still have a chance to win, but when something happens bad things happen in matches and are known by the opposing team then it can be a danger for team warriors.

I've pulled the trigger on the Warriors as well and even though the Celtics haven't lost twice in a row I agree with you guys about this game 3 being close to a toss-up. And with how the first two games ended it feels like this game will be decided in one quarter. Anyway, the Warriors at above even odds is way too good together with the guaranteed promo. I was also thinking of adding Warriors TT over 104.5 but i'll just settle with the match-winner for now.

S. Curry 1+ steals / M. Smart 1+ steals @1.86 ∆  X

S. Curry 3+ assists / S. Curry 3+ rebounds / D. White 14+ PRA @1.68 ∆  X

Those 3Q blowouts though, almost cost the Celtics game 1 and surely lost game 2 because of it, outscored 73 to 38. Whatever the Celtics do today, don't be trash in the start of the second half, plain and simple... Now, seriously, those cheap fouls in the 1Q by Brown and Tatum while reaching a double-digit lead was big. I'm not sure if the Warriors could have kept up with them if both were in and playing, and that's when the momentum shifted imo.

I like the Celtics tonight, they haven't lost back-to-back games in the playoffs so far, and we have yet to see them play defense for the entire four quarters, which they are capable of doing. I've two props, one is on Curry and Smart to each get at least one steal. Curry is essentially playing free safety (to use the football term), as he is constantly in the passing lanes looking for those skip passes. Smart had 2 points on 5 turnovers and 4 fouls in game 2. It's a bounce-back spot for him.

The second prop, Curry assists and rebounds, averaging 5 boards and 7 assists /L5, low numbers he should not have any trouble getting past. I'm also adding Derrick White's PRA line in there, he has covered it the first two games with solid 30 mins off the bench.

12 more hours guys. Putting my early bets now as there's not much to do yet.
Warriors ML.
Bet builder - Steph 3's Over 4.5 and Brown Over 2.5.
The other thing that we might have missed in all our discussions in Game 2 is the defensive energy brought by Gary Payton II. Played 25 minutes, didn't have a steal or a block but he was always in front of Jaylen Brown or whoever made the switch. He is questionable for Game 3 but I doubt he want to miss such an important game.

I might tail you on the Warriors ML here.  Grin

Edit: I opt for 3.5 Warriors at 1.90.

True, we might have missed Payton's contribution, not just he scored and hit a corner 3 in the first quarter, but just the presence of him in the floor for defensive purposed might have affected the Celtics mentality. He will probably play in limited minutes again, inserted in the first quarter to bring their defense to another level specially against Jaylen Brown or any on the Celtics that will switch and thinks that they have advantage of him. Similar to what Oladipo brings with the Heat when he faces Brown, he made him commit a lot of turnovers and steals.

I'm quite sure that the Warriors would win either game 3 or 4, I don't see them going 3-1 down in the series, so even if they lose tonight, I might double down on game 4, except there are of course unforeseen circumstances or huge turn of event. Warriors might be a bit short-handed today with both GP II and Otto Porter Jr both listed as questionable, Porter and Payton provided some quality minutes off the bench.

So moving on, what's going to be the pick in game 3.

Celtics have their home court advantage and they are only favorite by 3.5 points.
This time, bets are balanced, look 50/50 on both sides, so I think this kind of line is provided by the bookmakers.
Like stadus said at his last post, Celtics are not as dominant when it comes to home games. They lost 2 of them against the Miami Heat so it's better not to rely on it too much. I may go with the Warriors here again in Game 3, bring that energy on the road or better. If Klay goes hot and the same performance comes out from Steph and Jordan Poole then it will be a monstrous game.
The crucial part is always the defense, must keep that energy flowing even from their bench.

Well as I have said in our local board, if I'm undecided, then most likely I would pick the underdogs. So I might go with the Warriors here, whether ML or the handicap.

They are not doing good at home, and Warrior seems to thrive on a hostile environment, specially in the Memphis series, the crowd was really into it but they overcome and beat the Grizzlies in that series. So I wouldn't be surprised if they will get the win in this game 3 and continue their momentum.

There will still be an adjustment in the Warriors side because they are not that much familiar in the Boston's home but I would also bet the underdog here because the road team is much more comfortable than the home team who are not reliable when they are playing in their own homecourt and we've saw how the Miami Heat destroyed them.

I believe that Boston will try to abuse the paint,  Horford was the key in game 1 win but he was also the weakest player in game 2 because he did not use his advantage against Thompson who is guarding him. He was just waiting in the corner from a kick out pass instead of going inside and dominate the mismatch, posting up Thompson should be the right play.

That's just hard not to notice, that mistake right there is one of the various factors why did they lose in Game 2 and one of which is that Horford can always attack the paint and help Williams in the center and utilize their size advantage instead he's waiting in the corner to try his luck shooting again in downtown. Also Smart was having a hard time despite being a defensive player, they had a lot of mistakes on that game while Tatum was left carrying the team. They need to start working again as a team because the Warriors is also hungry to win.

That's a good thing, Klay is not even himself and yet the Warriors have pretty much dominated the game. I like what they did in the 3rd quarter, again, they have a huge run and they continue their defense in game 2. Curry had rested well also, he doesn't need to come back after the rest in the 4th quarter as their 2nd unit are doing their job very well.

Game 3 is next, I like the chance of the Warriors here, because although Celtics are at home but they aren't dominating the home games based on their record in the last series.

Klay Thompson still gives 11 points to the team not really enough but if you look at the scores they spread it out even Kevon Looney and Andrew Wiggins got double-digit scores of Looney 12 and Wiggins 11, while the Celtics are getting a hard time to the Draymond Green that focuses more on defense, the Warriors is having a Poole Party once again, I guess the Golden State Warriors will likely to have game 3 again and upset the Celtics even further,

I surely hope that it would be the case later because the Celtics is already proven to bounce back after a defeat just like the Warriors and especially if that's a huge blowout. There is still hope for Klay Thompson to get back on his usual rhythm and I expect that will happen later too because the team needed his performance as they are also anticipating that the Celtics will try and bounce back after what happened in the previous game.

I like the value of the Warriors ML 2.36 and I feel the Warriors are undervalued at +3.5, It's going to be an even game I'd say and I don't want to believe that the Celtics have a better advantage for being the home team.

I'll put my props closer to the game tipoff, but I'll like to go with Tatum on assists and Steph on points total, and maybe Wiggins for rebounds.
