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.

I will never forget that, but Warriors are a different team, they have been in the NBA Finals many times and have won most of the games. Curry will always lead the team to win, and they will make sure they'll win game 7, and I like them because they had the experience necessary to win.

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.

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.

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.

It's a 50-50 chance from now on. I just checked my first win Game 1, it was over 211.5 and my loss in game 2 was over 214.5.
But if you examine it, the Game 1 was heavy offense from the Celtics 4th quarter attack that made it reach the over score target. I doubt that could happen again since the Warriors learned their lesson already.
Nice tip. Thank you. So I checked and found out they stole 1 piece of road game in every series of this playoffs. We just don't know if it will be game 3 or 4 in this series.  

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.         

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.

It will not be surprising as we know that the Warriors could win games either at home or on the road. They need to steal one game on the road as the Celtics steal one game already, that is to even the series and make the advantage on their favor. 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.

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.

Both teams played great defense, and although these team are good offensive teams but this is the Finals and for sure they will play a tight defense. The over/under now is only 212.5, that's very attractive for over but like you said, what if they'll play good defense and it will again result to a blowout win.

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.

Here I have doubts. I am 1/2 when it comes to over and under, now I am doubting to bet in "over" again because of what happened in Game 2.
If the game ends in a blowout, it will surely be an "under". Maybe I will just pick on the player props instead of it.

I agree! The Boston Celtics don't have many advantages if they play games at their home, their play is almost the same whether they are at home or at the road. As you said, it was already proven that their record at home is not that impressive either so the Warriors might steal 1 game on road just like what the Celtics did in Game 1.

The overall performance of the Celtics earlier was not that impressive and I expected that the game will be much tougher in the 2nd half but the Warriors have carry on leaving the Celtics with 20+ points in gap. They should bounce back next game if they don't want the Warriors to end the series early.

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,


Yes, I think that was right if you feel like the Warriors will win then bet for the Warriors, it is still your own decision to make, were just put what we think the outcome or the possibilities of the game may be, and in my opinion, in the 1st two games the Warriors has a good chance on winning on the Game 1 the Warriors was Dominating the 1st and 3rd quarter 2nd quarter I think was an even game, while the 4th quarter goes to the Celtics, while in Game 2 the Warriors dominates 1st Half and the 3rd quarter while the 4th quarter is not enough for the Celtics comeback, it's highly unlikely we can see the same gameplay on game 3, but take it with a grain of salt


It will be up to you what do you prefer to do, and right now there are 2 days' break and both teams will have some rest and will have a proper readying to make for Game 3 watch the replays for both games so the same mistakes will not happen again, and condition themselves to be ready for the game, no serious injuries but their mentality will also be prepared as well,


in my opinion, just like games 1 and 2, game 3 will be the same the Warriors tend to be dominant in the beginning of the 1st half, while the Boston Celtics is used to keeping the lead intact, but still, we can surely wait and surely you got a great plan in doing your bet so keep it up,

I like that, it actually gives betting odds, I think the odds for that is @10. I'm not sure if all gambling sites are offering it anymore, I checked with sportsbet, they don't have that betting option anymore.

Tricky. I won't put an early bet for game 3 and may just do it live. It doesn't look like there are serious injuries on both teams so that makes it rather hard to choose.

I' m not betting here but I'm thinking of experimentin on haltime/fulltime. Celtics would start better and keep until halftime. Warriors will catch up and win im the sexond half. Odds for Celtics/Warriors is pretty high.

I can't trust Boston at home, by far, they don't have a good record at home because this team can win both home and road games. Celtics should bounce back in game 3 so the advantage will be on them, if they'll lose game 3, they will have to play well in game 4, otherwise Warriors might end the series in their home court in game 5.

Almost equal, unlike the day after Boston won the game 1, Warriors have much higher odds, now that they've tied it up

Boston needs to win at home twice. If they will allow Warriors to take one game, the home-court advantage will
be back to Warriors and knowing how loud the crowd inside chase center it can affect the players' focus.
It's more about how you trust your team and how confident and willing you are to take the risk.

That will not change, Warriors are the more popular team and therefore Celtics have to earn their respect by beating the Warriors. We have a thread on the NBA Finals between these two teams and we see how big the advantage of the Warriors is based on the total votes.

Game 3 at home, this is very interesting, because Celtics usually bounce back after a loss, so let's see what they can do.

First game, Tatum scored 12 points only, so obviously, he didn't cover the spread. In game 2, he did manage to score 28 points, so depending on what bet you have (over or under), he might have covered it.

It seems though that bettors still favor GSW to win the finals, so I would say that same. Chances for them are good specially that they've won game 2 and tie the series.
