Game 2 was a very decent one for Warriors undoubtedly. They just crushed Celtics by a big point difference and something went really wrong with Celtics defense in this game. It wasn't solid as it was in the first game. It looks like Warriors found a good solution for this and destroyed them literally. For Game 3, I'm not sure about the result. It is very hard to predict now as maybe Warriors would catch Celtics by surprise in away court like Celtics did to them in Game 1. Or maybe Celtics will have their revenge on them. In any case, I believe that it will end up by a little gap.
We can expect a very close game-scoring started the game 3. I was supposed to think about the homecourt advantage that put Celtics has a huge odds of winning. But yes, we can't really underestimate these small players (GSW) as they are good in 3 points shooting that could outplay Celtics as they did in Game 2. Poole, Cury, Thompson - these guys have scoring gameplay that gives surprise to the Celtic's big players.


There really isn't anything as home court in this playoffs, If the Celtics can take game 1 away from Boston, so there is also every possibility of Warriors winning either game 3 or 4, perhaps both.

I'd be leaning towards the Warriors for game 3, most especially because of their offense, they've really got so many special players and can take the game away from you, just in a split second.

The pressure should be on the Celtics side, they are at home but they are facing a good team in the Finals and they just lost big in game 2. And Warriors wants to take this one and bring back the favor on them, stealing a game in home court.
They didn't lose, they got blown out. The 3rd quarter was brutal for Boston getting outscored 35-14. The warriors showed no mercy. I'm hoping for game 3 to be the same way.
Right, they really showed the Celtics what they are capable of in the 3rd and 4th quarter. And even if they are in the big lead, the Warriors continue to score and lead by double digits.

But in game 3, it will be in Boston Garden, so it's hard to see them going the same unless Steph, Klay and Poole combined for a massive offense that will sink the Celtics. But this might be a close game.

I will go with Boston this game 3 as well. It is now their home court and the Celtics does not lose back to back. The only question is, will it be a blow out or a close game.

I've been talking with my coworkers about the NBA Finals, and pretty much everyone has said that the Warriors can turn the games and will win this finals.
Does anyone else believe that the Warriors can go 4-1 or even 4-2 and become NBA champions again?

Or is there still any hope for Celtics!!? What is your opinion on this, guys!?

With them heading back to Boston tied up there is definitely hope for the Celtics.  It's possible they could win the next game at home and start putting real pressure on the Warriors.  Draymond Green already seems to be having some issues...  The next game will be a big one to watch.  If the Warriors steal it in Boston then it puts all the pressure on Game 4.  That's early in the series to start having your back against the wall.

I guess Draymond is that competitive and will want to have a match up against the small and even the bigs of the Celtics. So I'm not seeing any issues with them, on the contrary, he shows some good stops against Smart and love that match up.

The pressure should be on the Celtics side, they are at home but they are facing a good team in the Finals and they just lost big in game 2. And Warriors wants to take this one and bring back the favor on them, stealing a game in home court.

Draymond Green have successfully limited the gameplay of Marcus Smart as well as Horford's, he can still manage as he's one of the most useful player in the team for the defense as well as assists.

The Celtics have been impressive considering that this is their 1st Finals appearance together as a team but they still need to improve and work out some concerns so that their chance won't blow off easily because the Warriors is really hungry to get the championship title this season.

I do not know, Celtics managed to win one in the Warriors home court, why shouldn't it be possible for Warriors to win at least one game at boston? I feel like it is quite possible and during this playoff period we have seen plenty of teams end up with a win on away games as well. Even the logic of "but this is finals, it is different" fails because of the first game.

I feel like Warriors do not need to do anything exceptional, they just need to cover the perimeter defense very well, as long as they do that, they will be winning a good amount of games for sure, even get both of the wins as well, I am not saying that it will happen, but it is not impossible neither.

so far so good, Celtics won one match away, but Warriors seemed as better team, with one quarter that was dark, and brought a lose in first match
three matches in Boston, and first is an important one, if the mini-break does not hold, Warriors could be in big advantage

bear in mind that Warriors won second match, and Thompson shot for three was 1/8, if he is better than this, it will be easier to win

Of course, they need to play better, especially Thompson, he needs to step up and be more accurate on his 3 point shooting. Curry cannot be great all game, he will also struggle and that's why he needs his splash brother to also contribute like the way he used to when they were winning championships after championships.

Jordan Poole really explode in game 2, unfortunately I wasn't able to place bet in live as I woke up late and I really regret not placing a bet ahead. I was looking forward on the game 3 now I really think that GSW will not let them go again with another win and finish the series as early as possible, overall I am really confident that the GSW will going to win this 2022 NBA Finals.
There are still 5 games left and you can still place a bet ahead no worries. I'm also thinking of putting a bet on Game 3. I believe that the Warriors can win again in Game 3. Their adjustments after their lose in Game 1 will help them win in the road against the Celtics who isn't playing good on their home TBH. The Celtics are better in the road than in their home.

Defense is the biggest difference of this game. GSW is connected in series. The Celtics need to figure out how to attack as a team, not just a set of individual contributions. The Celtics need to step up game building. It looks like the Celtics got a lucky win in the first game as GSW was in decline in the 4th quarter. With this game, the Celtics need to think about some things in the series because they will miss the series.
They need to find a way to let Tatum be more efficient.
He is the Eastern Conference MVP and he played awful in his last 2 games. Some might say that he had 13 assists in Game 1 but he is a shooter and he shot terrible in the last 2 games. If he can't be as efficient as he is in their past series this playoffs then at least somebody might step up as another scorer and just let Tatum be the initiator.

In Game 1, I believe that the Warriors just ran out of gas in the final minutes and the Celtics are pouring three everywhere and they got 8/12 or 9/12 3pt FG in the 4th quarter.

Recent article I read on the current odds - “ You could have had Golden State at +140 heading into Game 2 after they dropped the opening game of the series at home.

Golden State had a better field-goal percentage, three-point percentage, offensive rating, assist percentage, rebound percentage and pace than Boston through three rounds of the playoffs and was rightfully favored.

But now, after winning Game 2 to even the series, the Warriors’ NBA championship odds have dipped back down to -110.

Through two games, the Warriors have the better offensive rating, defensive rating, rebound percentage and three-point percentage.

Although the series is shifting to Boston, we still like Golden State’s chances but don’t love the number”. https://www.oddsshark.com/nba/championship-odds

No one knows. Until we didn't see the final result, the Boston Celtics always have the chance.

4-1 or 4-2 is the best logical guess that everyone is mentioning knowing how large the gap is between the Celtics and Warriors in terms of what they showed during the playoffs. It's understandable though but in the Finals, the ball is round.

Hard to speculate honestly especially betting on a per-game basis. I suggest just going with the flow.

Seeing all the players are rotating to help one another, hope they will bring that mentality inside the Boston garden.
Their defense will always be there and the Celtics will not be able to limit Curry as they were not able to do it against Butler in the ECF. It's a big challenge for the Celtics because if Curry will have a good shooting night, that will bring energy to the team and they will gain confidence, that's why they are very scary as an opponent.
So far during the playoffs, Celtics defense was the decider for them, they played amazing defense one game, horrible defense another game for example and that decided their wins and losses. This time around, it is the opposite where the defense of Warriors make the decision.

You could end up with Warriors playing great defense to keep Celtics at 88, or you could have Warriors that play terrible defense and let Celtics score 120. We do not know what we are going to see rest of the series, will it be a warriors that play amazing defense, or will it be warriors that play horrible defense. Based on that, we are going to see the result of the finals.

No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small
I knew I should have put some money on this game. There was just no way that the Golden State Warriors were going to lose two straight championship games at home in a row. Though one concerning part is that Klay Thompson still doesn’t look like the Klay of old outside of a couple games here and there. He’s really going to have to pick his play up if they want to win another championship!

You should have bet mate, because you're right and the other bettors (including me) are also siding the Warriors in the Game 2. You said it already, there's exactly no way that the Warriors would lose two straight games especially when they are at home and that's exactly what happened earlier. They gave attention to Smart and Horford that's why these guys haven't scored well and in-fact they just scored 2 points each.

I noticed that too, Klay Thompson was not in his usual self. I don't know what happened to him because the other guys in the Warriors have tried to cheer him up and gave a chance to shoot some ball but he just can't shoot it. Two games straight with poor performance, I hope he can find his rhythm soon because the team badly needs his help.
