I would say opposite

how can u take dubs as favs w o green

**Otters27** · 04-20-23, 10:54 AM

Dubs might be better without green

**Swaggy P** · 04-20-23, 10:59 AM

Green or no Green do you really think warriors will lose their third game in a row at home court?

**Allure** · 04-20-23, 11:01 AM

Not on it

**JIBBBY** · 04-20-23, 11:04 AM

Warriors almost a lock back at home in this one tonight. Warriors sucked all year on the road, different team at home at 33-8 on the season. This is a must win to stay in the series down 0-2 now. I expect maximum effort and the home crowd to be electric!

My money is on the Warriors!

We're waiting to hear from you first.

interesting gm tho w green suspension

Johnny, I have a small play on GoldSt in my parlays. A few reasons:

1) Don't believe in Fixes. But the NBA surely wants GoldSt to win this game. They don't want to face the prospect of a sweep against the Defending champs.
2) I view Green like KlayT. Name-players, but not that good anymore. Removing Green just puts younger legs on the floor.

smart play would be to just skip this

**gauchojake** · 04-20-23, 02:33 PM

Sweep

Yes

**Git Lo** · 04-20-23, 03:36 PM

Curry not 100% either, kawhi get ruled out wasnt expecting that

**Don_Omarion** · 04-20-23, 03:47 PM

stay away game . that is the smart thing to do.

**actiondan** · 04-20-23, 04:05 PM

there is historical precedent for a flawed defending champ getting swept. kobe/pau lakers swept by dallas in 1st round. wade/shaq heat swept by bulls in 1st round.

1) Where's the defense going to come from?
Payton? He's a GTD
Poole? He's a GTD too.

2) Do you really think the NBA needs the GSW any longer?
They have the Embid and Philly storyline going on.
They have the Celtics storyline going on.
They have the Giannis and Bucks and the Nuggets and Jokic storylines...

You want more?

Yes. I think the NBA has financial motivation to get more Warrior games. They don't want a short series.

Games played in SF and LA don't end until 1 am (or later)
There's three times more money in the east coast major markets then the west coast major markets.

Most fans are checking out around halftime of the west coast games that live in the east coast that have to wake up for big boy jobs around 6 am or so.

The financial motivations are in NY and Boston and Philly ...

CJ · 04-20-23, 04:51 PM

Jibbby outlined this nicely - GSW are a much different team at home. This is a must win game for the defending champs and I think Green being suspended may work to motivate them. Green also isn't Curry or Klay, so while he'll be somewhat missed, he's far from essential for the Warriors to win.

Devil's Advocate though, the Kings had a better road than home record and have several players with playoff experience. Still think Warriors win, just a question of if they cover the 6.

**MoneylineExpress** · 04-20-23, 05:01 PM

Don't have a strong opinion but lean the Kings. I think the Warriors dynasty is coming to an end as all things do.

Denver is the team to beat in the West.

**gauchojake** · 04-20-23, 05:03 PM

The NBA has a problem and it isn't the Warriors or the Lakers. It's the fact that all of the "Stars" of the NBA are getting old, injured, or both. They need new blood and the best way to get that is to highlight guys like Fox and Sabonis taking down the old farts. How's that for a conspiracy theory?

Not true - they end around 10.

This is so wrong. When gs was rolling through the league draymond green was highly debated as being the most important player of that team despite being a 3 4 5th option on offense just because of how much he brought to that team including his antics. Now all of a sudden hes just not important anymore?? Maybe because hes not there offensively but we werent saying that when they were winning. This is just reminds me of g2 appearing as a lock and it really isnt.

**JIBBBY** · 04-20-23, 05:54 PM

^Many good debates here in this thread going both ways. Let's see how it plays out? Like I said my money is on State at home! I made good money all season long betting GS at home. Gotta stick to my guns!

**budwiser** · 04-20-23, 05:56 PM

On kimgs ml

Draymond loss is big. Leads team in +/-. Backup Looney sux.

Lotsa pressure on 35 year old steph

**7deuceoff$uit** · 04-20-23, 06:03 PM

Might combine Kings ML with Fox 30+ pts at +450

**johnnyvegas13** · 04-20-23, 06:06 PM

Well I am

You can't compare this game to game 2. Warriors have always been shit on the road this season and a very good winning record at home. One game without Green isn't the end of the world for them.

**JIBBBY** · 04-20-23, 06:09 PM

Warriors young guns will step up at home in Draymond Greens absence. Don't under estimate the Warriors bench at home as that will be your downfall.
