Your NBA Champion this season?

because Goldenstate Warriors ain't an easy team to bring down especially when they're playing at home.

The same goes for the Phoenix Suns arena where it's one of having the loudest audiences in the league. Phoenix Suns' winning rate in their home arena is over 90% but the Mavericks are able to still play well against their large crowd.

I'm sure Mavericks are already used to playing against the big crowd and they can expect it once they played at the Warriors' homecourt as we know how big the audiences are here and almost a big distraction already to the away team.

I guess every team are using to play on the road, but Dallas though seems to be a road team because they are not affected by the unruly crowd of the Suns fans.

So it's really up to the Warriors here, Dallas has nothing to lose in this series. On the contrary they will gain a lot of experience specially Luka. So it might not be an easy series for the Warriors, but with their experience, maybe they will win against the Mavs.

I am not sure about the match between Miami and Boston, can anoyone here give their opinion about tomorrows match? I see that Miami has a 1.5 odds while Boston have 2 odds but based on the performance from their last matches Boston celtics performs well on their last opponent but this would be a different match do you think the first win will be for the Celtics or Miami?

ya.ya.yo!

Its hard to tell on which of this team will get the first win on conference finals since both of them are good teams also we cannot compare each team because winning on their last opponent is not enough to know on which of them will on their first game. So much better if you choose what team do you like because for sure we can see a great duel of talents starting tomorrow.

Game 1 is very unpredictable, but even if Celtics will lose in game 1, it doesn't say that they will lose in the series. Remember, they lose in game 1 against the Bucks, but they bounce back to even the series and steal one game also on the road. Now, they are on the road, if they lose twice in a row, that's alright as long as they also win 2 straight on their home court to even the series.

Heat show dominance on game 1 and we can say that their rooster composition is quite good since they build good chemistry to defeat Celtics on that game, but even if they win they cannot still sit out and relax knowing they give a huge upset to bucks so most provably we can see a more eager Celtics to cover up their game 1 lose. I might bet on Celtics on game 2 since provably their adjustment will be so tight.

Experienced wise Warriors are surely superior to Mavs, but like what you have said, we don't know if what kind of surprises do Luka

and coach Kidd has to show up in this series. It's the mind from the coach and the executions from the players, especially Luka, who most

of the time creates the play and gets his teammates involve with their offense. I'm more on the side if what kind of defense both teams will

show us here how Warriors will limit Luka and how Mavs will take care of the splash bro and their cousin Poole.

Marcus Smart and Al Horford didn't play though. So they are not complete when they face the Heat but they took a good lead up to the second quarter. And if they could have sustain that run, it's going to be a close match and who knows, maybe they can steal one game.

Unfortunately, Butler plays like he wanted to proved something against Tatum and the Celtics and he is unguardable.

Yes brother,well Marcus Smart is injured, maybe there is no choice. For this year's NBA I think Al Horford not playing will also make him very pensive. But support doesn't have to force circumstances, space and time. moment.when forced to be outnumbered and tough, I feel respectfully the Celtics are quite authoritative and I believe in their performance.
in the series maybe they will turn around or will bet to walk in place, burning again what to improve the celtics let's see

I hope both will play in game 2, it's a very important game, they need to steal one game on the road. However, if they will lose the game, I still think they are not out in the series yet as they will certainly bounce back hard once the series is shift to Boston.

We have to wait for the update, if both will not be available again, then most likely Heat will win again.

Al Horford not officially ruled out for Game 2 vs. Heat: ‘It’s not a definite that he’s out for 2 games’

For Marcus smart, there's no update yet but he is also not ruled out yet in game 2.
let's just be optimistic, when these two will play, the game will be more exciting to watch, as they provide energy on the floor.

[Russlenat]

Now that the last year's rival in the NBA finals has gone, I preferred new teams this time and I think the Mavs have all the chances to defeat GSW if they managed to pull out the same gameplay when they beat the number 1 team in the western conference but this is the conference final and not the same as the games they have won in the fast and I think this is the first time Luka managed to push his team up to this point, I really wanted him to win the championship since he might not get any chance to step back in this point in the future.

As much as I want to see the Mavs winning the championship again since Dirk, but on the contrary I'd really love to see the Boston Celtics succeed this time. I mean they have been working so hard since LeBron was still in Cleveland but they can't get passed on the ECF. Now, that they're facing Miami another tough opponent, I know they can make it.
Whichever team goes out to the Finals from the West, I'm pretty sure Boston can match them.

Yes I understand your opinion but for me, I also want some fresh face and teams in the finals this season that's why I'm rooting for both the Dallas Mavericks and the Boston Celtics as these two teams are much deserving to be the champion this season because these teams have been impressive throughout the season.

But on the contrary, they should prove that they are really worthy to be called as a champion as both of these teams are against heavy teams which is Miami Heat and GSW.

Marcus Smart is definitely missed on defense.  He's working himself into being one of the best defenders in the league and I think from Jimmy Butlers 40 piece yesterday, the breakdown in defense showed.  Al Horford is also a big part of their offense, so having them both out was a death sentence.  I hope they can get back in for game 2, or at least soon, or this will be yet another playoff series determined by injuries.

That being said, I don't think either team in the East can beat a healthy Warriors, so they'd both better be wishing Luka a good game tonight.  I think the Warriors are the clear favorite to win it now.

If it's just a regular season then I would admit that the Phoenix Suns would be too hard to beat on their own court that's why they had that recent achievement on their franchise, but speaking of playoffs, it's a bit different and that 90% surely doesn't happen often. About the Golden State Warriors that same home rate to win would is much likely especially in playoffs.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

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.

[harizen]

The Warriors are now the favorite to win the NBA championship this season, followed by the Miami Heat at a distant second.

It's not "now" I guess. I think they surpassed the Phoenix Suns' odds back when they finished the series early against the Grizzlies. A slight adjustment.

That is expected though that the Golden State Warriors will be the Favorites in the Final 4 teams right now in the Conference Finals.

The order of odds from Favorites to bottom you listed is correct as of now.

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.

By the Dallas Mavericks, mate.

Nothing to argue since Suns is the top seed from the west but Dallas already beats them and now they will also try to work it out in competing with the Warriors, tough job but we never know if what adjustment they will going to do to chase for this season's title
maybe coach Kidd is just reading the system of Warriors, then comes up with good plans and execute.

All 4 finalist shares the same opportunities in winning the world title, they just all need to work hard..

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?

Of course, Celtics winning one on the road is a big thing.
The series is now tied, it's 1-1 but it's far from over as we know Miami Heat is also a good team.
Actually I believe that Celtics will win the series but I don't underestimate the Heat since they are the number 1 team in the East.

Who among you here think that Celtics vs Warriors is going to be the match up this season?

Obviously, ME +

Things will get hotter in the days to come because the Boston Celtics will play on their homecourt in the next 2 successive games and that is surely an advantage that they don't want to miss. Sorry for Miami Heat fans but I have to say that the Heat don't really have some hype and people are more excited on seeing the Celtics on the Finals.

There's a big chance that the Celtics and Warriors will match-up for the Finals. However, I would like to see some new faces and I mean Mavericks vs Celtics.

Well, that would happen if Mavericks will bounce back after a very disappointing game 1 loss. I don't think they'll make another surprise going to the NBA Finals, they already did with the Suns, I highly doubt they'll do it with the Warriors.

No team can surprise the Warriors, LOL.

I mean, if the Mavericks are hungry, the Warriors are hungrier as they have been out in the NBA finals for a couple of seasons when Klay Thompson was injured. Now, that he is back and were already making a big contribution to the team, the Warriors will make sure that they are going back in the NBA Finals again, in fact, I would not be surprise if they'll sweep the Mavericks.

Smart played and contributed big points, and not only that, he was also very effective with his defense, reason why Celtics dominated the Heat in game 2. Now it's game 3, let's see what adjustment the Miami Heat will do, hopefully, they'll give a good game, not a blowout loss like game 2.

That being said, I don't think either team in the East can beat a healthy Warriors, so they'd both better be wishing Luka a good game tonight.  I think the Warriors are the clear favorite to win it now.

Mavs were playing well in game 2, however, it's just unfortunate that they could not keep their lead, they could have tied the series if they didn't allow the Warriors to come back in the game.
