when they opened at +6.5 and won straight up on game 1.

the warriors already got what they wanted in these first two games. griffin will play more than 19 minutes and i think the clipps will dumpster them there.

[farmhouse1]

What if curry & Thompson drop 70 on them?

[farmhouse1]

Its based on perception bro, lines are pretty much always set like that.

I don't know, if this, what I'm going to copy/paste, makes any sense at all, but whatever...

Teams, who lost their Game 1 at home in the Playoffs (regardless of the round)-year 2012, 2013:

2013 Playoffs:

Conference Semifinals (East):
Game 1: Heat-Bulls 86-93
Game 2: Heat-Bulls 115-78

Game 1: Knicks-Pacers 95-102
Game 2: Knicks-Pacers 105-79

NBA Finals:
Game 1: Heat-Spurs 88-92
Game 2: Heat-Spurs 103-84

2012 NBA Playoffs:

First Round (East):

Game 1: Pacers-Magic 77-81
Game 2: Pacers-Magic 93-78

First Round (West):

Game 1: Grizzlies-Clippers 98-99
Game 2: Grizzlies-Clippers 105-98

It's an interesting trend, that happened in 2012 and 2013, when a team, who lost in the Game 1 @ home, bounced back in Game 2.

But wouldn't perception dictate a shorter line? Public should be high on warriors after game 1. With that said though, I was thinking along OP's lines in that Clips will blow them out tonight

[wchen27]

I think the line believes that both curry and Griffin came into this game playing like they usually do but with the rest of the GSW squad cooling down. They dropped 109 with both klay and curry shooting poorly, which doesn't really happen often. Hence the +8. But I like gsw +8 anyway. Curry will light it up

[t-wizzle]

This is standard Paul.

No the perception and what usually happens is that the losing team will be hungrier and win more convincingly since theyve already lost home court advantage. But I can see the casual fan or beginner bettor thinking they should be on GSW big or something, they could just as well cover.

[Pauulzcappin]

so do we play golden state live and expect them to lose by less than 20 or what?

Right now its 15.5 and i'm not sure Golden State will cover that.

[Luckycharms2012]

Golden State +17.5 can be had now. It's very tempting.

[BCC585]

Have Clips -8 but I sprinkled on GS +16 live for shits and gigs

[Pauulzcappin]

took a small bite on warriors +17.5

[Pauulzcappin]

I reckon that was a very bad bet though. just being greedy here.

[Luckycharms2012]

+20.5 for GSW now.

[Pauulzcappin]

what a retard.

Thank god I put less than half a unit on the +16, these boys need jesus right now
