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.
Is this going under or over?
I like to put some bet on the total as well.

i would like to make proper monyline bet to series winner and not per every match
so how do you feel folks, is THIS Warriors?
1-st match i skipped but following often this great topic
2-nd match placed to Curry 27,5 pts
if i dont mistake Tatum did not covered both games?
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.
Like the Miami Heat series, home games might not matter anymore. Klay even not getting good numbers in terms of offense, but the presence of him in defense is good enough to help the Warriors,
I think I heard Jeff Van Gundy say the same thing, he puts his effort in the defensive end if he cannot contribute on their offense.

If you feel the Warriors will win, don't hesitate, per sportsbooks betting odds, the odds now are almost even, so Warriors has a chance to win the NBA Finals. The series now will be shifted to Boston, Warriors also need to win a game to even the series or take the lead, who knows, so just follow what you feel.
And this is the Golden State that we know, winning big the 3rd quarter and then closing the doors throughout the 4th.
Yes, that's correct. Their only problem in Game 1 was being careless in the last quarter but now they made sure the Celtics won't have a good run even a short one. Most runs came from the Warriors from 7-0 to 12-1 and it happened over and over that's why the lead ballooned to that amount. 1/2
Low score end game because of the blowout. Klay is still not himself, how I wish I could see him make those shots, it could have ended earlier. Thankfully, Jordan Poole was hot and provided a lot of help.
GP2!!! He is back! But we could see a little trauma when he did a layup that was supposed to be a high-flying dunk if not for the memory of the injury.
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.

Steph lead the entire offense but manage to take his rest much earlier since the 2nd squad already doing the seam tempo. I see that Boston
coach gave it up in the final quarter. Unlike in game 1, he still using his core five to play but this time he also rests them much earlier, maybe a
possible strategy to avoid any injury, they'll be going home and they can win back.

They didn't gave the same opportunity to the Celtics in the 4th. Although they were outscored 24-20, it was mostly garbage time as the Celtics emptied their bench with still 5 minutes to go and raise the white flag. Now they are thinking what they are going to do in game 3. They now have the home court advantage, just a matter on how they are going to protect it.

Here is the result of my pick for today's NBA finals game,
Golden State Warriors VS Boston Celtics (Series Tied 1 - 1) - SCORE 107 - 88 - WIN
We have seen a very dominant Warriors again in game 2 and from the game, Derrick White had 12 points, Jaylen Brown got 17 points while Jayson Tatum got 28 points, but it was not enough to win against the Warriors that spread their score to all Warrior Players Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson both got 11 points, Kevon Looney got 12 points, Jordan Poole got 17 points and Stephen Curry with 29 points, from that game 2 Draymond Green pretty much focus more on the defense, getting very physical with the Celtics throughout the game, while Jordan Poole did a remarkable beyond almost half-court shot, even Stephen Curry has his deep 3 points getting the lead even more, and I think they now have the momentum going to game 3 on Celtics home court, but I think that smart defense from Draymond Green sure let the Warriors rack this win.

I also took the Warriors to win @1.52 and planning to sprinkle some on the spread during live betting. I'm hoping for the Warriors to make some improvements and have a solution to stop the Celtics from scoring too many points in a single quarter. On the other side, the Celtics still have the potential to win the second game but looking at the bigger picture they already made enough damage and just need to hold at home. Plus the promo on stake is too good to pass up, it already cashed last game so i'm expecting it'll cash again as the Warriors tend to have a strong 3rd quarter performance.
I think and hope the dubs bounce back but reading so often here that the Warriors "dominted the first 3 quarters" or something like that is so wrong.
Celtics actually won the first half .
That will be the game plan for game 2 as well, keep the score close and try to play superior defence in the final quarter. Because you cant deny the Warriors for 48 minutes but for 12, as we can see, is more than possible. I hope Warriors will get a big win but everything is possible, even losing big.
Go Warrios, dubs in 6 !

Game 2 win is possible, they will have a big bounce back and I believe they will start strong to now allow the Celtics to have their own run. the series is just getting interesting, one win by the Warriors and people will not doubt them anymore. I know everyone is excited to watch this game because we are going to find out if Warriors can even the series or they'll be in a 0-2 hole.
Warriors fans will undoubtedly bring their money for this team, they let game 1 with unexpected outcome,
game 2 is a needed win for them to put things in a good perspective. Having a 0-2 standing will be a hard thing to deal,
they are competing with a young and solid squad.
Let see if how coach Kerr will design the remedy in case same scenario will repeat in this upcoming game 2, if how
He will not allow that kind of 17-0 run. Few more minutes and the game will start..Best of luck!
I like the Warriors ML tonight and would be settling for that, I don't think they'll go 2-0 down at home, especially giving the fact that they literally let game 1 slip through their fingers, I'm not underestimating the Celtics by any means, but Warriors have got to take this, or it's going to a really tough situation for them if they fail to win tonight.
GL!
GL!
Debating whether to take the -4.5 or to hit the money line. Don't know if the 4.5 points is worth the risk I was leaning on the money kine as well. Can't see golden state losing 2 at home to start the finals. Might hit the over on this one too. Might get fast.

I have two props on the day, one is on Curry and one on Draymond Green that are actually quite similar. I'm staying away from Curry's 3s and total points, no way the Celtics play him that poorly again, allowing him a ton of uncontested looks early. I anticipate a lot of pressure and blitzes on screens and pnrs, else Celtics are inviting trouble. It is worth noting that Curry has been active in the passing lanes, with back-to-back games with at least three steals and 16/L17 with 3+ rebounds.
Green should be the last person on Golden State's roster to get 10+ shots in a game, it's a recipe for disaster and exactly what the Celtics wanted, to leave him open and bait him to shoot bricks. His strengths are and always have been, playing defense, rebounding, and finding open teammates...not jacking up 3s.

I think it the odds are still the same in Game 2 for the Celtics.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,

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.
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.
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.
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 it the odds are still the same in Game 2 for the Celtics.
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.
