That's why it's so demanding of teams to play against the Warriors in the playoffs, and today it they had their crazy comeback run with Curry and Green on the bench, the bench team really provided great minutes without their starters and that's what helped Warrior win this game, Looney, Porter and Poole were just also very great tonight, it was really a great to watch from the tip-off to the end of the game.

The Mavericks are really feeling it midway into the game here, currently leading by 19, they've made 14 of 26 3pts so far, that's well over 50%, Brunson and DFS both playing really great and absolving the pressure a bit off Doncic. it's going to be a huge mountain from Warriors to climb back into the game, but with this Warrior team you always know it's never over and a run within a few minutes can easily change it.

And then there's hahay too in the contest for the 4th Position, I doubt I'd be able overthrow both Sojourner and Hahay though, but it's been the closest I've ever come in the La Liga pool, despite being a Barcelona fan, I just don't follow up with other teams as much as do with the first 4-5 teams, hence my consistent poor performance.

I've actually always joined the pool, so there is always something to look forward every weekend and the competition and discussion here is always nice, so regardless of how it goes down, I'll definitely be in for next season too, if there's one.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards the Warriors more as well, I don't think this series would be like the same against Suns for the Mavericks, the Warriors have got so many facilitators, and it's going to take more than just a Luka Magic to get a win here, I however believe that Dallas Maverick might cover spread, even if they lose the game.

I'm think of going with the Under 214.5 because I think this might be another low scoring game.

EDIT: I got a prop on Max Kleber P+R+A Over 12.5 @ 1.76

Celtics are in a beast mode, with 25 points in the first half alone, being double digits down in the in the first half but still won the quarter by 11 points.


The Under doesn't look really good right now, it's currently at 220.5 at half-time from what was 207.5 before the game, but being close to be a blowout win for the Celtics could help keep it under if they're not fast game as they did in the fist half.

My props doesn't look too good too, Oladipo with 0 points 0/2 attempts, but Robert Williams with 5 points already could help me get even, however he might get a very limited time in the 2nd half if the Heat are unable to make a run to keep it close in the 3rd Q.

Edit: Finished 1 of 2 with my bet tonight, Williams didn't play much in the 3rd Q and start out 4th Quarter but thanks to Erik Spoelstra for keeping Oladipo in the game even after emptying his bench and he finished with 14 points.

While I agree that AC Milan won't be stopped, not this time, they'll give everything to win this game, but I would love some drama to happen during the game, like Milan going behind first and Inter Milan leading against Sampdoria, it's always very interesting to witness this type of scenario in the final day of the season, except of course you're fan of either team. That being said, I'd say it would be very deserving for AC Milan to say the least, I didn't consider them as title at the start of the season, and looking at how well they've held it down, over the last 9-10 games playing so many big teams and getting result, it's truly commendable!

I believe it's going to be an entirely different game from what we witnessed in game, Al Horford is cleared to play game which was unexpected before, and Marcus Smart is likely going to play too. I guess that's why the line is different from game 1's

I think it's gonna be another win for Heat, but I won't be putting any money on that.

I don't find the Over 207.5 spread not so convincing either, even it hit effortlessly in game 1 but instead I'll be taking a few props on Robert Williams and Victor Oladipo

Robert Williams: Over 8.5 points @ 2.05

Victor Oladipo: Over 7.5 points @ 1.87

GL!

What a complete turnaround from Everton, It's as though they read my initial message, but for the sake of my pick in the pool, I'd love to see Chelsea and Aston Villa both get a 2-1 win.

Oh well! It's official, Everton are safe and would be playing in the EPL next season.

I guess it's safe to assume that Everton are intentional about getting relegated, aren't they ?

Draw against Watford should have been bad enough, but then losing against Brentford and now 2 goals down against Crystal Palace, without any real sense of urgency. I'm pretty sure they'd likely lose the last game to Arsenal as well, but Leeds would need a win against Brentford if that happens to stay up.

So much for playing safe in the pool, I had Everton to win because of their relegation battle, but I didn't do same for Burnley who are in the lead against Villa.

The game played out as a 112-87 win for the Warriors, just like I predicted that I foresaw a low scoring game, although that could have been due the awful shooting from the Mavs today with Doncic being defended aggressively as well. Warriors did give up a lot of turnovers but that wasn't enough to keep Mavericks in the game, both teams had to empty there bench with well over 4 minutes to there about to go.

Frankfurt deserves this trophy by all means, and It's definitely not about luck being on their side, They eliminated both Barcelona and West Ham subsequently, that's definitely not what luck gets you, I'd say.  It was a quite even game imo, and could have gone either ways, but the most important thing to agree with is that Frankfurt were just brilliant in the tournament and got the ultimate prize.

I don't think Barcelona would take the game lightly even if though they've secured the 2nd spot, but that said it's going to be tough game, but I don't Barcelona would play to lose and it might be worthy of a bet on Barcelona to win.

The same can't be said of Real Madrid who still have a champions league final coming up, I'd expect Ancellotti to rest his best players or give them a very limited time of play.

I really don't want to undermine Mavericks here tbh, not after what happened in the Semifinals vs Suns, I think the Mavericks can win game 1, Warriors were able to get past the Grizzlies while making so many mistakes and playing inconsistently, that can't be case vs Mavs, they'd need to be consistent all through each game.

I'm settling for the Under 212.5 here.

Gl!

The Celtics defense has top notch so far in this game, and they seem to have figured something out against Heat, unlike when the played Bucks they depended more on the ball from behind arc, however they've been going to the paint for most of their points so far. It's still a recoverable lead for the Celtics, but if they are able to continue with such an impressive defense in the 2nd half, then I'm afraid that they'll not lose this game.

Looks like my bet over 203.5 would hit, except there is an extremely low scoring 2nd half (below 88 points).

Both Marcus Smart and Al Horford are out of game 1, Al Horford is said to be under health and safety protocol, I don't know how many games he'd miss for that and really I also don't think Robert Williams is 100% fit for the game either.

I guess with that I would go with Heat to win game 1, although I still believe in a close game here.

Tie breaker: 17' minute

Speaking of surprises, despite Liverpool being quite dominating, Southampton have just a taken an early lead against Liverpool, and I hope it doesn't become too hard for them to overturn this, because anything less than a win here would confirm City as the league winners.

No Salah or Mane, with Diaz on the bench too, means Liverpool are shot of their main attacking threats but would Firmino and Jota be able to save the day ?

Liverpool to win is now @ 2.10, fair deal ?

I don't think Liverpool would mess this up, Southampton just don't have anything to play for and they've been all nothing but awful as in the last 2 months+ as arallmuus have said, It should be an effortless win for Liverpool regardless.

I'm up for some last gameday drama 


I really for a while thought Harry Kane would allow/offer Son to take the penalty against Burnley, but I understand that there's more at stake for team/club as a whole than Son winning the golden boot, and with Salah not available for the clash against Southampton and probably the last game too, Son chances is looks good.
