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.

Many are expecting a Warriors blowout win in game 2 and I am one of them. They are still huge favorites among bookies with 1.58 on moneyline - still bad for average bettors. I would go with handicap line for GSW -9.5 since it looks juicy at 3.05 right now. That is probably your best chance to recover the amount you have lost in game 1.

I have lost my Moneyline bet to the Golden State Warriors. I actually place a bet for Boston Celtics this series but I'm expecting the Warriors will take the Game 1 win. I bet a decent amount for the Warriors but they ended up choking that good lead entering the 4th quarter.

I'm happy that the Celtics win since I bet on them to win the Finals but it may be better if I didn't lose a good amount of money thinking the Warriors will win in Game 1. I even stopped watching when I see the Warriors are now in a good lead.

It was really an upset for the Warriors and from the gist of it, Al Horford showed in the 4th quarter that the game is not finished until it is finished, gaining momentum while giving positive vibes to the other member of the Celtics, while on the other side the Warriors is looking a bit off and you can see on Stephen Curry's face the amazement that the Boston is now on the lead, and the damage has already been done and in the 4th quarter the Celtics have gained 40 points overall while the Warriors just made 16 points for the duration of the 4th quarter, but for me, it will not happen for the 2nd time, and not in the home court of the Warriors,


I really think the Golden State Warriors will have a different approach in game 2 and from that game, Stephen Curry is the only one hot enough to give the shots while it is not a Splash party without the other 2 splash brothers, hoping they will just shrug those lost and make a pretty big difference on game 2 and I think we really expected much for the Warriors and didn't see the big picture that the Boston Celtics team can win in their difficult times if the Warriors really want to win this they need to get the Celtics a score that they can not return back to,


Well, you can not blame them, I mean us for siding on the Warriors they have shown pretty much huge stats versus the Boston Celtics, if you look at game 7 of the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics, they barely win against them, or maybe getting those stats we didn't see the big picture and there might be some bigger secrets on the Boston Celtics team that we just need to uncover, but yeah Al Horford, in my opinion, can be the man of the night for that game, but I guess this will not happen again in the 2nd game on homecourt advantage the Golden State Warriors needs to press the advance in giving quite the lead for the 2nd game to ensure their win because I think the Warriors was really too confident for the 1st game and underestimate the Celtics on the 1st game,

Me, I will not play safe, if the Warriors will win, I'll probably go with the spread because I don't feel it's going to be a close game, it should be won by a dominant performance of the Warriors and I like to put a bet on Curry as well, 30 points should be easy for him in a revenge game.

1.56 ML vs 1.93 -4.5... I'll take the spread.

They are the better team defensively as the Warriors are more better on the fast break and scoring from outside and mid-range.
Everybody imagined them to win the first game in the series to set the tone at home but it just wasn't meant to be.
Al Horford and Derrick White stepped up in the 4th and dominated them offensively and Golden State were in a state of shock.

Yes that is the plan.
I think everyone is thinking Warriors will bounce back for the next matchup. Curry is not the problem as he started strong.
It was the other teammates of his that lacked any defensive play to stop Celtics from just steamrolling over them and not being able to do anything against them once they got locked in the zone.
