[Basketball] Golden State Warriors 2022 NBA CHAMPION campaign discussion

[Maus0728]

I think it's not appropriate to have a separate thread for this where in fact, that subject is a general discussion, not a main event or something related to that. Why not open this topic on the NBA thread instead? If this will continue, others can even create a thread for each team to discuss as not all are Golden State Warriors fanatics and bandwagons.

It's the same as this thread: ( NBA ) Nets vs Celtics Game 2 - let's discuss where it can supposed to be discuss instead on NBA Betting thread.

Not saying it's not right but we can have also a meaningful discussion if we take the topic on the main NBA thread. Let's head there, mate.

People tend to separate discussion as the main mega thread often have different discussions within its replies whereas some were having a hard time tracking the topic/idea they were following on that thread. There are also campaign that takes such mega thread to be one of their disregarded threads as having more than 500 pages or even replies aren't really read by the newcomers. Plus, mega discussion threads tends to have its main post updated but the rest of the replies (since the forum default post display were based on the time posted displayed ascendingly) were often years or months ago. It's just a matter of how well the this separate thread could highlight the topic and lock it after it ends.


Nuffsaid, i really am amazed with how well GSW's performance lately. I really thought that some bandwagons just hyping the team up but they were destroying Nuggets. Let's just see how well they can maintain their performance.

The Current odds is only 4.40, I'm happy to take almost x2 of the current odds.




So this thread is all about the Golden State Warriors' campaign for the championship this season. I have a strong feeling that they will win again with Curry, Thompson, Green, and a new star Jordan Poole.

Share your thoughts about their chances and let's make meaningful discussions here.

I strongly believe that this time they will get the championship, with their new star Jordan and the remaining team mates with Curry. I am a fan of Golden states and will always be. Not only that their draft is good but their record says it all, they are the best in defense and net rating so far, and 2nd on offense too, so I am confident they could really do it.

How fast the odds have change, well, I cannot blame the bookies here as the Warriors have been playing an exceptional basketball in the last 3 games which makes the series 3-0 against the Nuggets, not even a home court advantage could save the Nuggets, I smell a 4-0 again.

Anyway, the odds really look good and the Warriors just dethrone the top 3 teams that are favorites before the playoffs starts.

Suns and Bucks are facing some injury issue, reason why their ranking went down.

Sportsbook are business which its expected that odds would really be changing up since they arent that blind on not to notice out on who would be the favorites and most likely to win up the Championship which its already expected that it would really be having those kind of changes and as i have looking on what OP do talk about 8.xx odds then its already understandable that
it do dropped on about 3.xx .When it comes to injuries then these things are very normal thats why we cant really still make out some conclusion yet injuries could really be
still on the way.

I agree with @Maus0728, we can focus more on the subject matter if we separate a specific game, besides, we are in the gambling section so focus is very important. I also saw in different betting forum that they have threads on specific game, some even have multiple threads, so I think this threat should stand until the NBA season is over, let's keep track on the update here, shall we @OP?

[Vaculin]

Good odds. I might place a hundred dollars on the Warriors just and forget about it in the next few months. They seem to have been strengthened and reinvigorated with most of their star players on the floor and with the addition of Jordan Poole. They don't have any problem in the scoring department, but it's typical Warriors, they lack something on the side of defense. If they can work something out and carry it until the end of this season, they have a huge chance of winning and taking the championship in a convincing fashion.

Well, its even reasonable to bet a hundred bucks for Warriors as we are now starting to see the real champion in this season. Though they still lack on their defense, but everything can be worked out as it will improve their performance in their upcoming fights. As long as they keep those brilliant moves from those star players, its certain that they will always have an edge to the rest of the NBA teams.

Yes, more notably, UFC's info and prediction thread is a good example with regards to whether or not separate a topic despite having a general thread within its criteria. We've already seen tons of separate threads of single matches with regards to UFC. Hence, same should apply with NBA as well. But should either be a single match that will be automatically locked after the match, or the same with the OP's style whereas it focus on the journey of a single team -- which would probably make more fruitful discussion since it has a definite topic and followable flow compared to a general thread that can contain tons of ideas and opinions towards tons of games and teams as well.

with this type of threads, we can focus more on a better flow of discussion, lessening the spam and unnecessary comments on general thread just to count as a post. Also, if you would look at the mega thread of 2022 NBA Season, you can see from within its last pages, bombarded with tons of opinions regarding various topics such as a certain player, certain game, even certain matches or teams, just within a page of that thread. If you were to follow one topic within it, you would need to read every replies within it. Yes, it is a good thing to really 'follow' a thread. But not a good thing for a healthy discussion.

Statistically speaking, I see less than 10 people are constantly following and actively replying within its discussion (NBA) (based of from March 23 - April 23)^[1]. 27 unique users but only 10 had more than 4 replies within the aforementioned month. Therefore concluding that megathreads were still a thing but have less attention compared to single and focused threads.

But Middleton is out already, he is giving a lot for the Bucks, although he is on a slump in 2 games against the Bulls, nevertheless with his experience, he is going to be a big help. And now that he is out Giannis and Holiday will have to power the Bucks again in the absence of Khris. And they will have to fight it out with the Bulls with their own big 3, DeRozan, Zach Lavine and Vucevic. Caruso is playing very hard in the defensive end as well.

So the chances of the Warriors winning is very high because of the injuries to teams like Suns (Booker) and the Milwaukee Bucks.

Yes, that's quite reasonable indeed as they are already showing some signs even if they are still in the first round of eliminations. Though it's still premature to say but I'm also seeing them to represent the Western Conference and also they have to work on there defensive side to survive their face off against the Phoenix Suns later on.

They are actually also my bet to win this season but I am not yet sure about that, that's why I didn't place bet on them yet but now I am regretting why I didn't bet them back then I see the performance of Jordan Poole I really think they could be in the finals this year.

No one gets to be sure in this kind of betting, but still others take the risk to bet depending on which team they think will have the biggest chance to win. My bet is actually on Warriors, i think they deserved that too. They have now become the real warriors in the final season, and they give their best shots in every part of the game. And with the great performance done by Golden State's big 3 of Curry, Green and Thompson, and now add to it the new star in the team Poole, they know exactly what it takes to win in a championship.

[Ziskinberg]

Good for you taking that outright bet on Warriors being the champion this year.

Just look at it: Curry, Thompson, Poole, Green and Wiggins = That is solid enough and I don't think that any team can match with that kind of line up.

And then they have role players and veterans that really knows the strategy and regardless of who you put in the floor, those combination will still perform at high levels, screens, back cuts, hitting 3's. They are a complete team right now and as long as they are healthy, chances are very high for them.

We'll just hope that there's no more serious injuries this time as it could always trigger the team not to beat the other competitive teams. But so far, all is perfectly fit and healthy as they continue to show their best moves and continue to improve their defense strategy that i know could be well done in the next games in this playoffs. With the huge efforts made by each of the player in the team, Warriors will always gain an edge over the rest of the teams.

But they've lost though to the Nuggets and didn't complete a sweep. It's understandable though, teams are very though specially if they play at home and doesn't want to be beaten 4-0 in a series. So still a good chance for the Warriors this season, obviously it will be tough on their next series, whoever they are going to face. But with a combination of veterans, young and upcoming and players who understand their roles, it will be hard to stop the Warriors and will have an edge this season.

Their new big three is very solid and lethal when it comes to offensive playing, the Nuggets are really having a hard time guarding them and they cannot even give a double guard because the other one will be so open and they cannot afford to give the Warriors an easy 3 points as they are that capable even if it's already very deep.

Injuries cannot be avoided but it can be somehow minimize if they play it safe and don't force themselves in chasing some points that they cannot chase anymore as they can always recover from those points. They will remain a threat in the league in their current line-up, hopefully though that there are no major injuries this time.

Jokic is not that good. He cant carry the whole team “alone” like Lebron, curry. What he needs is a good team and that is where he got those assists. What I'm saying is I don't think he's a good playmaker, Murray is their playmaker, basicaly murray finds an open cut or open shots and then jokic just pass it to him, and there it is an assists. He's also slow which basically easy to stop and easy to attack. not discrediting his skills though just overrated to me.
