Things are getting exciting for the celtics fans now, after they beat the Heat in game 2 in a blowout win, Celtics are now rank next to the Warriors on the favorites ranking to win the NBA finals.
Who among you here think that Celtics vs Warriors is going to be the match up this season?
I wonder how fast is the ranking move these days with just 1 game win. I'm still having the feeling that they might head to head this season even though the Mavs was at 2-0 deficit from the Warriors, they've had the similar scenario with the Suns but they upset them with a game 7 win. We may never know but if the Warriors are the WCF champs then I'd bet it will be the Heat to battle them. If you believe that the Mavs will beat the Warriors, then maybe this is the best time to put your bet on them. As per the sportsbook I'm using, the line are as follows. Mavs to win the series @6.50 Mavs to win the series by 4-2 @15 That's a very attractive odds, but for me, I'll stay away because I don't think they can beat the Warriors. |

Dallas Mavericks is now trouble. They gave up a 19-point lead in a Conference Finals, it's alarming.
Still not an automatic win for the Warriors but the Mavericks should bounce back as much as they could next game. Game 3 is important. If they still lose it and are able to win at Game 4, it will be hard for them to return to Chase Arena with a 1-3 disadvantage. They need to even the series at all costs.
The same offensive power should be shown again by Luka's teammate or much better if more than that.
Yes, they have a chance to even the series but they gave up a huge lead. That only tells that Dallas does not have a good defense, they rely so much on their shooting but it's just that Warriors are also good so they can come back in the game, and they always win in game 2. As of now, Warriors are still undefeated at home in the playoffs, they are the only team left that is undefeated. As what the commentators said about the Warriors, there's no such safe big lead against them because they are a team that could come back with their great offense and defense. Mavericks were able to score, they have a good shooting night but their lack of defense made them suffer in the 2nd half. They need to win game 3 now, they are at home so no more excuses for them. Good luck to them because if they'll allow a 3-0 lead, then most likely the series will be over in 4 or 5. |

Iba naman ang sitwasyon ng Celtics sa Warriors kasi noong Game 1 kulang na kulang sila sa tao kaya naging ganon ang resulta.
Celtics vs Heat po.  Ang gustong sabihin ni mirakal siguro ay Celtics natambakan sa game1 against Heat dahil kulang ng players dahil hindi nakapaglaro doon si Marcus Smart at Horford, at nong naglaro na silang dalawa ay nakabawi at tinambakan ang pa Heat. Sa kaso naman ng Warriors at Mavs ay halos kompleto ang roster nila, walang key players na na-injure na hindi nakapaglaro sa game na kung saan tinambakan ng Warriors ang Mavs so we can expect same result this game2 unless the adjustment for the Mavs will be working. edit: Grabe ganda ng panimula ng Mavs at lumamang pa sila ng 15 points pero sa isang iglap lang ay hinabol kaagad ng Warriors....gandang laro. Maganda ang ginawa ng Mavs pero mas maganda ang ginawa ng Warriors. Yung sinabi talage ni coach Steve Kerr na trust each other, doon ako bumilib sa warriors, kaya pala ang gagaling ng mga players nila. Hindi na ito buhat ni Curry, kasi marami ring mga key players ang umiskor kahit pa foul trouble si Draymond Green. Sino kayang nakapag bet ng live sa game na ito. Nung down ng malaki ang Warriors like 18 or 19, anong odds kaya nila sa ML? Sayang, wala na akong balance sa account ko, na withdraw ko na kahapon kaya hindi ako naka pag live bet, hindi ko na rin tinangnan kung anong odds kahit napanood ko ang live streaming. |

So here we go to the game 3.
Celtics are playing at home, and the current spread is -6.5.
IMO, I think Celtics here are just overvalued, yes, they won game 2 and dominated the Heat, but this is just another game, and we know that Heat will certainly make an adjustment, so I have a big feeling that we will not see the same scenario in game 2 as Heat will try to make it a close game.

And when we thought that the Mavs are going to even the series, look at what the defense of the Warrior did do them in the 3rd quarter, limiting them 13 points and almost double the Mavs score in the 3rd. And then finished them off with a 43-32 edge in the 4th. Looney taking advantage of Mavs small lineup, with 21-12 contributions.
It's because they are facing a good defensive team right now, unlike in the Phoenix wherein the Mavs can go and score the way they want, in this series, it's very different and maybe this is an eye opener for them. Warriors is as healthy as they get in the last 3 years so you can see how good they're really are when everyone is 100% compete and focus on winning, a caliber of a true champion. Game 3 though shifts to Dallas, so it's going to be a make or break game for them to show up and prevent 3-0. If GSW will show the same performance then it's an easy 3-0 with them because Mavs at their best versus GSW at their best will surely a GSW wins. GSW now has 3 consistent sharpshooters while Wiggins can take the role of KD before when they are the Champion who dominate NBA for more than a year. Mavs can win on their next game if GSW will show a very poor shooting accuracy just like what they experienced in Grizzlies match that which almost all of them have very bad accuracy. I want to see game 7 or at least 4-2 with this western conference finals! That's the big advantage of the Warriors in this series is that they know how to come back and win the game. I think they were down as high as 19 points in game 2 but they were able to comeback in the 2nd half and still beat the Mavericks. |

Let's talk about the game 2 of the Warriors vs Mavericks tomorrow.
What do you think, may chance kaya ang Mavericks na matabla nila ang series sa game 2 gaya ng ginawa ng Celtics?
Medyo hirap lang kasi ang Dallas sa shooting nila, especially sa outside shooting na pinaka main weapon nila.
3 point percentage for Mavs. 23% vs Warriors 34%..
Actually, bad shooting pa ang Warriors diyan, how much more kung maganda ang shooting nila.
Sa tingin ko mas pabor parin ang Warriors bukas kontra Mavericks, kitang-kita naman ang lamang ng FG% at lalo na sa 3-point percentage ng hometeam ang layo talaga ng agwat. Pero may adjustment nang magaganap bukas pero parang pareho parin ang magiging resulta pabor sa Warriors din. Sana lang wag dayain ng refs, hehe.. Bigla lang kasing nangyayari ang mga questionable calls kapag ka gusto papanalunin ang isa team dahil halos lahat ng bettors ay pumusta sa isang team lang. Ako tumaya sa warriors pero small amount lang para kung trap nga ito, hindi gaanong masakit sa bulsa. Iba naman ang sitwasyon ng Celtics sa Warriors kasi noong Game 1 kulang na kulang sila sa tao kaya naging ganon ang resulta.
Celtics vs Heat po. |

Next game I have Dallas +6.5.
This is a sharp bet. Everyone is on the Warriors in game 2, even myself felt that Warriors would easily beat the Mavericks in game 2, but my mind says that what if it's another trap, so I'll probably go with you mate, no looking back now. That's the spirit!  Although I am betting against it. Warriors -6.5. But I am intrigued by how the Mavericks will be adjusting to this game. They don't need to go back to their homecourt to show it. Do it as fast as possible and shock the Warriors with how flexible they can be and their bench. Expecting a close game in the first half but we know how magical the Warriors can be in the 2nd half. Splash brothers are still not showing their true performance yet. That's the thing, shock the Warriors, well, if they can do that, they will be the first team to beat the Warriors on their home court in the playoffs. It happened yesterday on the Celtics vs Heat game, Heat got their first loss at home in the playoffs, and not only a simple loss, but it's a blowout one. Mavericks have already experienced a blowout loss before but they always respond with a blowout win as well. This series might be different though, so let's just see if the Mavericks will bounce back after a bad loss. I can see that the Warriors will just do the same strategy they employed in game 1, so it's up to the Mavericks now to make the right adjustment to make sure they'll win. If they will surprise the Warriors today, then we should take the Mavericks ML. The current odds for Mavs is 3.10, that's very attractive if you really think Mavericks will be able to pull an upset on the Warriors' home court. I hope Luka's shoulder is okay, because they cannot win if Luka is not feeling 100% in this game since he is the main scorer, if he cannot move well, that would affect the production of the entire team. |

If we take an honest fight score, the result will be much more discouraging than 115 - 113. I saw that independent experts put the result of this fight as 117-111 and the BoxingScene.com edition gave a score of 118-110. This is a complete declassing, and it is obvious that with such a result, revenge is meaningless. I think now even GGG has no desire to fight Canello - he has lost the halo of a great champion.
There's even an article I encountered that if only Canelo make the fight close, the judges might favor him as it was easy to manipulate the scorecard if Canelo shows a close fight with Bivol. We should remember that the arena they fought was the same arena where Canelo beat GGG leaving questions on the boxing fans. But it's clear that Bivol dominates Canelo at most rounds that's why manipulation can't be done or else it will be a big controversy. After the loss of Canelo, never heard GGG having a hint about it. I don't think people even in Mexico believe that Canelo won this match, I was even surprised that Canelo raised his hand, for what because he survived the fight or he still believes that its a close fight and he gets the win, Canelo fought like Canelo on this match but Bivol and his team prepared for this fight and Bivol can take his best punches that is the reason he did not run and opted to do counter punch. He baits Canelo to come forward and hit him so he can launch his counter punches, Bivol did a very great job, I don't want to see a rematch here although Canelo can bring a different fight next time, I want the GGG fight to happen because for a long time this is what the fans wants and I still believe it's the fight to make for both guys. Canelo has not experienced a loss for a while, so he was thinking if would be the same result as his previous fight. And yes, I agree with you, it's very obvious that Canelo lost the fight because Bivol has been controlling the fight, it was a unanimous win by Bivol and no one should protest that. Well, Canelo is given an opportunity for a rematch, then maybe he can win by making sure to KO Bivol so it will not anymore go to the judges' scorecards. |

Just a small update. PBA braces for compact 47th season with return of three-conference formatTHE Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) returns to its regular three-conference format for the coming 47th season that kicks off starting June 5. Next month PBA will resume, so the fun will resume again. I can't wait to see the PBA because not only I enjoy watching it, I also enjoy betting on it. Same with you, not just enjoying the game but it added additional ways to bet. 2 more weeks and the PBA will resume back, we will see more interesting game and new team and sets of young bloods to play and showcase their skills inside the league. Expect for more unexpected outcomes as teams will try to make their presence being recognized and try to chase in winning the championship crown. Well, I still have the Ginebra to win, but like you, I am excited to see the young guns on how they'll compete in the PBA as it's a different league and the games are more physical here. 2 weeks, hmm... I like that, I can start betting as well, and I love betting in PBA as I find it easy to win compared to other leagues. |

^^ It was a well balance attack from the Warriors, they really played very comfortable at home and doesn't need a big game from Curry to win the first game.
They started hot as compare to their previous series with the Memphis in which they will have to make a good comeback. But this time, they build a solid lead and increases it as the quarter goes.
Any NBA team that focuses on doubling curry is screwed is leaving 1 player free to act and in the Warriors you cannot leave any player free, you pay the consequence. I think Dallas is a much better match up for Warriors because they just need to worry about Luka then overwhelm them with their usual offense. If they give Luka those open threes, he will make them. You can see how the good the defense of the Warriors in that game, Luka was still the Mavericks leading scorer but he was only 6-18, or his shooting dropped 33% in this game, if he continues to shot like this, then we cannot expect a close series. And take note, Luka also has 7 Turnovers, that's big. The defense on Luka is only single coverage, if Luka cannot be effective in sharing the ball, even if he score, he will still get easily tired in the 2nd half. That's what we see in game 1, it was close in the 1st half but in then 2nd half the Warriors displayed their full dominance. |

The Warriors are now the favorite to win the NBA championship this season, followed by the Miami Heat at a distant second.
If I'm not mistaken, the Suns has been the favorite but obviously they are now eliminated by the Nuggets who unfortunately is the long shot now.
So by the odds:
1. GSW
2. Heat
3. Boston
4. Dallas
Yes, you are right, it was the Suns who were the favorites to win the NBA championship before the playoffs started, but in a big surprised, Dallas beat them and now it looks like the Warriors could beat Dallas. Tomorrow, we will also know the odds movement, if Boston wins, then most likely Boston will be setting in the 2nd spot. |

What's your prediction for the next match (Heat remains a huge favorite @1.60)? Marcus Smart will probably return for game 2 against the Heat while Horford is listed as doubtful. I expect Jimmy to have a difficult night because of Marcus but he has teammates like Herro that could step up. I also anticipate a low scoring game (under 205).
We will see how Butler with adjust if Smart jumps on him. They throw a 3 man rotation on him in the first game and all of them failed to limit his game. So it's time for Smart to guard and let's see how he will fair with Butler. But I doubt it though, maybe another 30 points performance for him and the Heat covering the -3.5 opening odds. He's been consistent producing good numbers this season, he always wants to take the challenge. It's interesting how Smart will manage to guard him and maybe limit his numbers, or Butler will continue to work more aggressively and still their top scorer. We will see how both teams will manage and who will step up from both sides. Tatum and Butler's leadership will be tested once again. Who will win? That's the question to answer this coming game 2. Heat has the home court advantage, if their shooter will continue to produce, that would give them a good chance of winning in game 2. I don't expect Butler to score 41 points again, maybe the defense will focus on him and he will be limited a bit, so let's see how the game would go. |

|

Also, I expect a major adjustment in game 2, and now that Smart is likely to play, I hope that would help them to be better.
If you think about that, then maybe bet on the Celtics to win in game 2. Bettors might take Miami Heat because the spread is only -3.5, that's too attractive considering after a big win in game 1. People still thought that Butler will again make a great performance, so obviously, Heat is going to be the play of the public. I'm also planning to put a bet live, if Heat starts strong then I might take Celtics for an odds of 3.00 (at least). |

Okay yan, Warriors din kinuha ko. Mas may chance manalo ang Warriors bukas lalo na at sa Chase Center gaganapin ang Game 1. Alam naman natin na napakahirap ma limit ang mga puntos at three points ng Warriors pag nasa kanilang lugar sila naglalaro.
Mukhang uulan ng three points bukas habang ang Mavericks ay mag a-adjust pa kung pano sila mananalo kontra Warriors. Good luck kabayan!
Bukas pa lang natin malalaman kung paano maglalaro yung parehong koponan, alam naman natin na kahit asa homecourt ang Warriors maari pa rin silang masilat kung ang magiging laro ng Mavs eh kagaya ng inilaro nila laban sa Suns. Kung yung mga shooters nila eh magiging consistent pero kung si Luka lang ang puputok mahihirapan manalo ang Mavs. Oo, tama ka dyan kasi kung tutuusin, may kalamangan talaga ang Dallas Mavericks kung itong dalawang kuponan ay nasa kani-kanilang A-game. Nasasa kanila lang talaga kung papaanong diskarte at adjustment ang kailangan para maipanalo ang laro bukas. Malalaman natin bukas kong anong diskarte netong dalawang kuponan, mukhang mahaba-habang serye na naman ito mga kabaro. Parang walang lamang ang Dallas sa nangyari kanina, Warriors pa rin ata tong series na ito. Di maganda pinakita nila, hindi man lang close game at halos sa lahat ng area dominated pa ng Warriors. Nag small ball na rin kasi ang Mavs, pero mas magaling ang Warriors sa small ball, kaya covered ang spread na -5. |

Indeed! That counter left hook will still be his specialty and weapon of choice as he's more used to it, now is not the right time to have some experiment on what should be his special card to Inoue, he should use what is on his possession and his best asset. Finding the perfect timing when to land it will be difficult because if he cannot land it properly, Inoue will just shake it just like what he did in their previous fight.
I still believe that Donaire can still defeat Inoue with a right pace and timing.
at least in this case it must be tried in every round considering that Inoue's endurance is also quite strong and I rarely even see him fall even though he is already battered. it would be very good if indeed the shots that were fired did not miss and wasted energy because this apart from giving him a habit and would be easy to read, this would also waste energy Donaire has to do it quick like what he did in his previous fight where the find end below 6 rounds. Inoue here is going to be a heavy favorite, looks like a big disrespect for Donaire because he is also a champion, but that's how the overall fans are seeing it. here's the odds for those who don't know yet, https://bettinginsiderjournal.com/boxing/naoya-inoue-vs-nonito-donaire-2-odds/Naoya Inoue vs Nonito Donaire 2 Odds
Boxer Odds
Naoya Inoue -550
Nonito Donaire +350 |

But here, Romero hasn't shown us something in the past. I even watch one of his fights and i think he lost that one but the judges gave him the win. So I think Tank will not let someone in Romero's caliber to thank that 0 from him.
I would say Romero isn't a professional boxer since he looks like a boxer who won because of cherry picking an amateur boxer, Tank would be the real opponent in his entire career in boxing. Most of the fights, Romero didn't protect his face with his hands, he's just like trusting his reflects to evade from getting punched. Surely he will easily got knocked down by Tank if he still widely open his face. For sure it's his biggest challenge, and the fact that he is the underdog here would say that the fans believe Tank is better than him. People doubted Rolly's ability, so in this fight, it's his time to prove that most of us are wrong, and that is by beating the undefeated Tank Davis. |

Considering laying down a few Satoshis on the Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics game. I kind of expect this to be a pretty hard fought series and I feel like these teams are pretty evenly matched. I kind of like the Miami Heat at -4.5 points. Since the teams in my opinion seem pretty evenly matched I think the edge goes to the home team. But I would not be surprised to see this go either way.
What a good start by the Celtics though, they lead at the half now. But it's now over, I think the Miami Heat can overcome the Celtics because it is just a 8 point lead. So I will probably go with the ML live beating for the Heat at 2.40. They will going to push the tempo in the second half and not allow the Celtics to get 2nd chance points. Yeah I was sweating there a bit in the first half after laying a few Satoshis down on the Miami Heat, but I tried to stay positive and it certainly ended up well in my favor in the second half where the Heat and in particular Jimmy Butler took over. That guy was just phenomenal in this game. Now we will see if he can keep it up! Jimmy Buckets, made buckets in the game, and the Celtics know who to limit for them to win, however, it's not that easy because Heat is still unbeatable at home, and game 2 would still be tough for the Celtics even though Smart and Horford might be back. |

I just took another bet for Kambosos. Devin Haney is not capable of hurting Kambosos. I believe Kambosos is the hungrier fighter in spite being the lineal champion and is holding 3 belts. Kambosos will be the aggressor in this fight, the huge crowd will boost his morale and Haney will be put in an uncomfortable situation. If ever Kambosos cannot dominate the fight yet he can make it at least competitive then he will still take the judges nod.
Wow, I love your confidence bro. Devin Haney is not capable of hurting Kambosos. This is a huge statement, Haney can knock out his opponent, so Kambasos can also be knocked out because he is a human. LOL. But anyway, I got to respect your opinion and good luck with your bet. |

It’s been a pretty crazy playoffs in the NBA this season. My pick to win it all was originally the New Jersey Nets and we all know what happened there with a surprising first round knock out. After that I was pretty convinced that the Golden State Warriors would take it all down and still believe that to be the case. I am kind of shocked to see both the Celtics and Mavs to have made it this far but I just don’t think either has what it takes to win it all. But we shall see!
Dallas here is probably the biggest surprise in the playoffs, we don't expect that they'll beat the Suns and dominated the best team on their home court, that's unfair. However, people are still not sold with what Dallas have showed, they still believe that they will lose against the Warriors and that Warriors will win the championship. |
