Fadey McFaderson has mushed so many people's bets, it's only fair if the tables turn for once and JJ mushes his.

[lakerboy]

But they won’t be playing Boston

Warriors going to get another break? Playing the crippled heat?

[johnnyvegas13]

Warriors going to get another break? Playing the crippled heat?

Yup

I remember when lakers played the heat

This is basically the same team

[GunShard]

JJ may have jinx the warriors. Usually SBR lock threads go in the opposite direction.

[jjgold]

I will say Boston does have a very good defense but golden state has a Lotta good players that can handle it

The Warriors should out score them

[titanium777]

State will struggle more against Boston. Best defense in the PPG, lots of size, and a handful of solid players.

[johnnyvegas13]

They would beat Boston in six

Heat five

[jjgold]

Pound tonight

[lakerboy]

Boston is only+115 to win the title. They are a major problem for the Warriors

[pimike]

Pound tonight

Agree

Hope so

[KuLaPhU]

[KuLaPhU]

just wish they had home court

but should not matter

Golden State better record than Boston regular season.

Golden State tie record with Miami in regular season, GS 2-0 against Miami regular season.

If Golden State goto finals they will have home court advantage.

Boston is only+115 to win the title. They are a major problem for the Warriors

i don't think they will be

[johnnyvegas13]

Those odds were goofy

Actual finals odds will b higher

Can't go by regular season results. Mavs were a major problem for the Warriors the past couple of seasons until they faced them in the playoffs. I seem to remember the Suns being a major problem for the Bucks until the finals (game 3 to be precise) last year.

I'm a dubs fan, but I"m worried about Boston. #1 defense, and hottest team in 2022. Boston was slow in 2021, but been a top team this calendar year. They have talent spread out (brown, tatum, horford, smart) and lots of size. Size poses an issue for warriors.

I'd much rather play Miami than Boston.

Right before Tip Game 1.... Hoping that it goes to Boston +125 or +130. Or even more.

Tell you one thing, GSW were clicking on all eight cylinders tonight.
Oh, sure I'm wrong sometimes, I was right about Looney, he's a beast of a rebounder.
I've mentioned this before during the regular season "How come he doesn't get extended runs"

That team is solid.

Can't wait for the finals.
Interesting matchups all over the place.

Smart on Steph.

The two hybrids PG/SF Wiggy and Brown.

Green and Tatum and Horford.

The one matchup I'm really looking forward to are the two up and coming rock solid defensive centers.
Robert Williams and Looney.

Both squads had good benches, Grant Williams and Pritchard, and White, GSW has Poole off the bench, and others.
This series sells itself if you're a sports fan.

East Coast/West Coast finals with these two teams is what Silver wants.
I'm not a conspiracy kook, but I have this funny feeling the Boston series ends tomorrow too

[Snowball]

let's make this the thread where Warrior bettors can post their true feelings without making others upset.

don't hold back.

[hawkwind]

well obviously jj is offering & booking this then: $100 on Boston who's holding the coin

Injured Iguodala playing role of championship whisperer for NBA Finals-bound Warriors

Kurtenbach: I wanted to pick the Celtics, but Steph Curry and the Warriors will win the NBA Finals

[Thor4140]

This is a pretty evenly matched series. Only advantage i C is States experience which could be big. G State hasn’t played a defense yet. You wont see Clay hitting open shot after open shot in this series. I think Curry is goin to have to put on a show for State to win. Boston really hasn’t played anyone yet who likes to guard people either. Boston has the size to stop State. Let’s see how long Green and Smart can go before they get into a scuffle.

I'm a Warriors fan but I also like Boston and have since the 80's because Larry Bird is my all time favorite player. This current version of the Celtics will give the Warriors some problems but I think the Warriors are rightfully favored. That doesn't mean they will win but I lean to them getting the job done because they have better depth than most of the teams Boston has faced.

[Art Vandelay]

Dubs in 6 or 7. Even if they split the first 2 in SFran, Boston is very beatable at home - Could definitely see this 2-2 headed back to Cali w Dubs having 2 of the final 3 at home. We hopefully see some drama like last year's Final.

I think dubs stay unbeaten at home

Sounds like you're looking for a defensive series? Under 211.5?

[Thor4140]

I never bet game one of these series. Gstate lost all the games they didnt play defense and Boston did the same thing. The strange part is that when either side forgets to play defense they were heavily bet. Strange how this always happens. First game might be in the 240’sfor all i know.

[QUOTE=TheMoneyShot;30888275]Who did G.S. really beat? Denver had 2 starters out right? Memphis had no experience.... too young. Dallas had a 1 man show... we knew Kerr would be able to stop that....

But... again... who have they played?? Not 1 Full streng

BOS 9-7 last 5 seasons vs GS albeit not playoffs, etc, but BOS can defend the 3, why they are + vs GS in regular season.

[titanium777]

Dallas was 35-12 since New Years (even better win % than the Celtics).

[Snowball]

Warriors 4-0: 10/120 (+1200)
Warriors 4-1: 24/120 (+500)
Warriors 4-2: 21.82/120 (+550)

if 1 win 74.18 (+133)
if 2 win 88.18 (+158)
if 3 win 86 (+154)

as opposed to -140/-150 for Series.

That's GS -1.5. That's +160 on Caesars and there's probably better out there. Only way you're going to rig better is by combining from a bunch of different books.

So let's see: GS -150 for the series but +160 for -1.5? Yeah, NBA wants a Game 7.

[TheMoneyShot]

I love hearing everyone cap this series. Refs are just laughing at most of you right now. This is the NBA WHERE AMAZING HAPPENS.

You really don't think MIA and MIL don't guard? MIA top 5 D.

Doesn't NBA always want a Game 7? The Series line is fairly tight, but yes, I do reckon expectations for Gm 7 are overpriced. That +160 can be adjusted, taking the separate 3 options to varying degrees ... it's going to change even after Game 1.

In my opinion if the Celtics are going to win two, then they could win three. I do have Series and Game 1 ML since days ago, but I'm going to take some Sweep and 4-1. Leaving off the 4-2 because if the Celtics can win two, they would be more a threat than I currently estimate them to be. Injuries are also a contingency for all. Let's use the 120 figure again and see what just 4-0 and 4-1 yields...

4-0 +1200 10/120, 4-1 +500 24/120; If 4-0 Net +282, If 4-1 Net +458
these may be reversed or adjusted based on whatever you like most.
you may even toss in a 4-2 coverage bet as pseudo-insurance, to win the cost back of 34.
It would only cost 2.83 + 6.8 {9.63} or 8%.
