Should Warriors be underdogs now?

[Bill Dozer]

What do we know about injuries? Bogut hurt. Draymond has ankle issues? Curry has Curry issues. And the Thunder have a new frontcourt lineup still dominating on the boards. Durant and Westbrook both shot 33% from field and the Thunder still won. Warriors shot 44% FG and 37% from three. They can do better but they are 48% FG and 40% 3pt FG for the playoffs.

To state the obvious, Game 2 at home is a must win for GSW.

Game in Oakland on Wednesday

[jjgold]

I think still a favorite

The big guys on City are better than I thought

Donovan out coached him too

[Don_Omarion]

I hope they do not win to bet on them next game @ OKC

[jjgold]

I would think almost impossible for Oklahoma City to win the next game on the road

It may be worth a look JJ. +400 by tip off?

[eidolon]

I think Oklahoma will have the upper hand because of rebounds. They have 4 starters that can grab 10 boards a game.

[Git Lo]

They should be because they lost home court but odds maker won't risk nothing

[Bill Dozer]

+380 out there now.

No they shouldn't. Historically strong 1 seeds have lost game 1 at home (and still were at least 1-2 or 1-2.5 favorites to win the series) plenty of times to win game 2 and 3 to bring balance. And that's not even mentioning GSW being the greatest team of all time record wise + having the MVP. If Vegas had any faith in GSW after losing game 1 they would be at least -250/-300 considering how powerful they supposedly are and it's only a game 1 slip. Opening at -175 is complete bait it's so obvious. GSW are cooked. Like they say, shooting will always streak, size is always there.
Okc is literally the first elite 100% HEALTHY team GSW has faced in the playoffs last 2 years. Not their fault but let's see game 2

And like LT said below, warriors would still be (amazingly) -1 game 4 if they were down 0-3

[louielouie]

The lines have called it and thus is the end of the line for the warriors

[LT Profits]

Warriors should still be favored because they will be favored in Game 3 at OKC, and if they lose, they will be favored again in Game 4 there. The only ways Warriors become underdogs is if they lose Game 2 tonight or if they go down 3-1.

With that being said, I am on OKC +9 -105 on Game 2. Heritage bated me into it with the rest of the world holding +8.5.

I am doing it

It just seems City way tougher than anyone thought ..not a soft team now

Hoping I can get +9 at 110 juice sometime today, too good of value not to play with low juice and a great #

Why not just join Heritage? Worth it for the -105 across the board option (NOT the cash back option which is -108 Sides only with fully juiced totals) and the 4-cent overnight baseball lines (1 penny better than 5 Dimes).

[Smoke]

If warriors lose tonight they should still be favorite

[LT Profits]

If warriors lose tonight they should still be favorite

They won't be favored if they lose tonight, they are less than -200 at some spots after one home loss. Don't care personally as long as Thunder cover the 9.

[jjgold]

Man the series is over if Oklahoma City wins tonight but I think it'll be one – one

Everything you said is true but with respect to OKC they should be underdogs right now and they are not. OKC shouldnt be dogs at home either but they will only be 2-3 point faves they wont get 8 points like GS gets

[Jayvegas420]

If the Raps won game #1, i could see the Cavs being a dog. (Possibly)
But theres no way the market would allow GS to remain a dog, down only 1-0.

Baring injury, Dubs will be heavy favs if they win tonight.

Just so used to the credit and cash payouts I have with my local, what's the payouts like on Heritage? tbh I've never used an offshore.

Lol. Raps would never be favored after a game 1 victory.

[Jayvegas420]

Why not.
Youre only saying that now because they got destroyed.

[lakerboy]

Why not.
Youre only saying that now because they got destroyed.

Cavs series was -1100 before game 1. Warriors were -430 series before they lost game 1 and still clear faves and on top of that the thunder are better than the raps.

[Time is Money]

Why not.
Youre only saying that now because they got destroyed.

For the same reason that the Pacers weren't a favorite G2 over the Raptors after the G1 victory, and Heat were never a favorite over the Raptors after a G1 victory.

Means nothing, home team will remain favored.

Raptors could have gone up 2-0 and still would have been dogs in G3 at home.

[JayDr3am]

hmmmmm nope

[Bill Dozer]

Good points about the other series but this one is a bit different particularly the way they lost. GSW didnt have that bad of a game. They didn't beat themselves. They got beat by a team that manhandled the Spurs. They got beat on the glass and from the perimeter. GSW is beat up from going for 73 and no one is talking about it. If Thunder can win game 2, a tired and injured GSW going for 73 will be the narrative.

[jjgold]

If you make a percentage bet it has to be GSW

If they lose it means City is a massive lock to win everything....it is called past history and the best teams Win it all

[lakerboy]

Thunder coach donovan is schooling these so called nba legends. The thunder always look better in the 2nd hf. That's coaching.
