For me i believe mavericks will win on the game 7 against suns and will advance to face warriors ,because on their previous game it's very clear that mavericks team has good chemistry compared to suns this season reasons they dominate the game 6. So no doubts that mavericks vc warriors is possible in the finals.

[Japinat]

I think have the Warriors winning the WCF.

They dominated the 1st and 2nd round as there was no game 7, and they are so clutch as a team.
Though Memphis put a big lineup, the Warriors were still able to beat them with their good outside shooting and ball movement.

So whether it's Suns or Dallas, Warriors will still win,
That's my opinion.

[Johnyz]

Mavericks are doing their best to get into the WCF, it’s very unfortunate for Suns if they lose again on this conference without reaching the finals since last conference they are still the number one team but fell short. I’ll go for Mavericks on this since the momentum is with them and it will be more exciting to see Warriors vs Mavericks. Warriors have more time to prepare right now and hopefully, they can get the title again.

[roslinpl]

Mavericks game was good enough to face the other team for now. My predictions will be the mavericks going to win the game of 7. The chemistry of the players in the mavericks was huge as compared to most of the team, which includes the Sun. Warriors are the next extraordinary game in the tournament. So warriors and mavericks gonna rock the final will be huge interesting one.

[ajochems]

Warrior will be placed the game in the final.The opponents will be the mavericks or the sun.The game of mavericks and sun was seems to be the same one.So it’s essential one to have a look in the match.Anything will be happened in the game.It’s essential to watch the first half to predict the game in full exact manner.Warriors already wins the hearts of people.

[goinmerry]

I will get back here with my analysis once we have the winner between Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns.

Personally, I will go to Dallas Mavericks for a change. Then I will bet again on them against the Golden State Warriors. It's time now for the Dallas Mavericks' comeback at the Conference Finals and NBA Finals.

But to make my statement valid, Mavericks needs to beat the Suns first.

That's another surprise that would happen in the NBA if Dallas will indeed reach the NBA Finals.
As of now, the odds for Dallas to win is @25, might as well take it before the game 7 will start.

But to make my statement valid, Mavericks needs to beat the Suns first.

Note mate, take your time, Dallas might pull an upset here, it's not impossible though.

[Baofeng]

I think it will still be the Suns vs Warriors in the Western Conference finals. If statistics will hold true, the home court team will win the game 7 and that is the Suns.

And so it will be a great battle between Steph and CP3 and Booker will be a problem for the Warriors. Nevertheless they have players that can defend Booker. But let's wait for the outcome of the Suns vs Dallas first. This could be one of the biggest upset though, if Mavs wins tonight.

[goaldigger]

Dallas is on a good momentum right now but of course Suns is not giving up yet and whoever wins on this and go to the WCF, Warriors should be ready because these two teams are very dangerous. Warriors did a great job on their last game with a home court advantage, if they continue to play like that most probably they can get the Championship, this is an interesting conference so many surprises.

Yeah, Warriors are already waiting for the winner of the Suns/Mavericks series, and we will find that out tomorrow.
Odds are out early so people could start betting, and since no changes on the betting odds, most likely there are good action on both sides.

Despite of the high spread and the result of game 6, Dallas still remained as an underdog in the last game, so let's see what would happen.

this is an interesting conference so many surprises.

Yes because Nets and Lakers did not make it this far, they were the favorites to win the NBA championship.

[crzy]

Thompson was a key player for Warriors in the whole conference and because of that, they are able to go back to the WCF. If Thompson will be more healthy, I'm pretty sure who ever wins with SUNS/MAVS they are more ready to face it. Warriors will take the championship again this may not look easy but the way they are playing right now, it looks like a whole team effort. Mavs is also a good player, but for this one I will go for the SUNS and give them a chance to enter in WCF again because they miss it last year and for sure they really want it right now.

Thomspon and curry are carrying currently the team and they are the main key if they will even win NBA overall. They look so good that i dont see any team in the nba stopping them. Plus with poole and wiggins they look amazing

Actually, in a Game 7 pressured game series, homecourt is just a slight advantage. I know both teams are winless playing against the crowd. Suns are dominant on their homecourt while Mavericks are likewise too. But that doesn't guarantee that Suns is an automatic winner.

Another thing I want to happen is the big recognition for the Mavericks once they upset the strongest team in this season.

It's been a while since the number 1 seed is being eliminated in the playoffs round.

[Yogee]

Dallas is on a good momentum right now but of course Suns is not giving up yet

There's no momentum if you're following this series. They just cancel each other's win in the previous game.

Neither team will put up a good fight against the Warriors. They will get two wins at best. I had hopes for the Suns but they are already struggling against Luka's team. What more against Curry, Thompson, and the surging Poole?

[dothebeats]

Hard to know. Each game of Suns vs Mavs are just the same intensity with either of them standing out. My bet is on the Mavs, but it's not wise to count out Suns either. It's tough to defeat them on the last 2 quarters of the game because they're ramping up their defense and they're just tough to go around by then. We need some of that Luca magic for the Mavs to pull through, but whichever the result is, the Warriors can take them head-on with the way the three guys (Curry, Thompson, Poole) is playing right now.

Cheer for your team now, what team do you think will be in the NBA Finals?

As someone who has been cheering for GSW ever since 2016, my money is with them throughout this palyoff run!

I really think that Warriors has the capability of winning this playoffs given the nature of their experiences, individual skillset, group chemistry, and great shooting. While Curry may be somehow inconsistent in this run, with the return of Klay it somehow solidified their position as a contender for this playoffs. I just think that with the support Curry has with the surrounding talent he got with his teammates, and Wiggins getting consistent, GSW has the potential of winning!

[harizen]

Dallas Mavericks established new achievements these playoffs with Luka Doncic on board.

First-time playoffs appearance since 2011
First-time homecourt advantage in the 1st round playoffs since 2011

Even though odds tell me that Phoenix Suns has all the advantages, I want the Mavericks to add some new achievement these playoffs.

Maybe the following:

First-time upsetting a no.1 seed team in the playoffs
First-time reaching the Western Conference Finals since 2011

[magneto]

I don't think that they will be the underdog regardless of which team they face.

They have way too much experience and CP3 is too old in my opinion to make noise. Booker is still relatively inexperienced compared to the Warrior trio that has been around for virtually a decade now.

Hard to bet against the Dubs honestly - their team chemistry is amazing.

Who wouldn't love a cinderella story like that? Upsetting Suns the top 1 and beating them in a game 7 thriller away from home and on the road?

Everything still rest on Luka's shoulder in game 7, he need to produce MVP numbers and then have the support of his players like Brunson, Dinwiddie, Bullock and Finney-Smith. It's going to be very difficult but not impossible to do.

I feel bad for the Phonix Suns to lose this series since they fought really hard to come up to this point for another chance of winning that NBA Championship which they lose last year. There can't be another chance like this in the future because as we all know, players are prone to injuries when they are getting old and it's really hard to regain back their old selves after that. As for the Mavericks, I'm hoping to see them winning this one because they are young players that are strong and have all the means to win a championship.

Betting on a team who did and became a back-to-back champion few years ago is certainly not a bad idea at all, especially when they still have that strong line-up who doesn't change at all mainly the Splash Brothers. Now there's some new additional asset on the team including Jordan Poole who made an impressive improvement in the past months of the regular season.

yeah, Poole has really improved this season, he can be the most improved player if Morant was not there. But even if he didn't win, he showed the management and the fans that he is worthy of the minutes the coaching staff have trusted him. His 3-point shooting is good, and not only that, he can also attack the paint because he is very quick.

Warriors is the favorite to win in the WCF, I'm not surprised because they are also now the favorite to win the NBA Championship. Klay Thompson "game 6 Klay" has found his rhythm in game 6, he is back on his old self, so I think the Warriors are very scary as a team. On the other hand, it's hard to understimate the Mavericks after the surprised they did to the Suns, I like them to bring this series again to game 7.

[Yaunfitda]

Yeah, I don't think that the Warriors are going to make the same mistakes as the Suns did. They are not going to underestimate the Mavs here, on the contrary, they might have been drawing strategies on how to stop Luka and shut down the rest of the players. Strength of Warriors is their defense, so we will see how they will match up. But I do agree that they will be the favorite here, not seeing a game 7 though, maybe another game 6 series win for them.

I don't know what to make of the Mavericks.  Golden State on paper should win this series but I didn't have mavs given the Suns a run in that series.  Luka is better than I thought, dude is unstoppable.  No clue how to bet this series.  Laying off until a couple games in.

[YOSHIE]

2 days from now, we will know the winner of the Suns vs Mavericks game, I like to read your advance insights on the upcoming WCF.

You can edit the topic title, the Mavericks managed to get rid of the Phoenix Suns 123-90, Warriors have been waiting for the Mavericks in the final for the Western Conference, now the Western Conference has two teams into the final Warriors vs. Mavericks.

I watched the mavericks vs suns, the mavericks team was very aggressive in scoring goals, especially doncic got 35 points today.

For the final and now, the Warriors have a good chance at the moment the position is 68% that's the hope, while the Mavericks have 36%, not that percentage can determine the win, from the history of the two great teams and have good players, of course on the field will prove which one is superior and becomes the champion.

[Viscore]

But I do agree that they will be the favorite here, not seeing a game 7 though, maybe another game 6 series win for them.

Yes, Warriors will certainly be the favorite here, as they are battle-tested and have been playing with great defense. And with the presence of the lead players like Curry, Thompson and Green, that makes the team very tough to beat. But as they say, always expect the unexpected in the finals. What seems to be the underdog could end up to be the favorite, who knows?  Mavericks have also good and outstanding players that could also make Warriors struggle and defeated in the end.

His 3-point shooting is good, and not only that, he can also attack the paint because he is very quick.

Both of them deserves the title but sadly only one will be awarded at the end of the day and Ja Morant also deserved it because of his deeds on the team this season and he quite improved as well. Jordan Poole on the other hand only made a drastic change when the regular season was about to end, actually he gain too much exposure that nourished his skills more when Klay Thompson was still injured and the team needs someone who can step up to fill Klay's position.

[OgNasty]

You can remove the Suns from this subject now… I can’t believe the way that Luka exposed them… Booker was talking a whole lot and in the end proved that Luka was the better player. I’m still in shock because I don’t think Dallas has a very good team. Now that the Suns, 76ers, Nets, & Bucks are out, with the Lakers and Hornets not making the playoffs, the Warriors are really the last exciting team to watch now. I hope they show their dynasty is still intact and go all the way. I don’t think any of the other teams deserve it.

[chaser15]

Dallas Mavericks shut down their doubters. There are even predicting that the Suns will take the 4-0 lead against Mavericks and that becomes more expected to happen when they are able to 2-0 the Mavericks. But Mavericks didn't give up and do their necessary work and their efforts are now rewarded. I like Chris Paul to win a championship but since I saw arrogant fans on some basketball pages looking down at the Mavericks, sorry but I have to support the Mavericks.

About the current series, it's obvious that the Warriors are the heavy favorites but since the Mavericks surprise us right at the start of the playoffs, it's possible they can upset the 2nd seed after taking down the 1st seed.

[harizen]

Dallas Mavericks established new achievements these playoffs with Luka Doncic on board.

First-time playoffs appearance since 2011
First-time homecourt advantage in the 1st round playoffs since 2011

Even though odds tell me that Phoenix Suns has all the advantages, I want the Mavericks to add some new achievement these playoffs.

Maybe the following:

First-time upsetting a no.1 seed team in the playoffs
First-time reaching the Western Conference Finals since 2011

Who wouldn't love a cinderella story like that? Upsetting Suns the top 1 and beating them in a game 7 thriller away from home and on the road?

Everything still rest on Luka's shoulder in game 7, he need to produce MVP numbers and then have the support of his players like Brunson, Dinwiddie, Bullock and Finney-Smith. It's going to be very difficult but not impossible to do.

And it now happened. They now finally upset the dominating team in the Western Conference this season.

Although the next one is really tough, I'm sure it's not that Mavericks is the heavy underdog here. I like how Dallas Mavericks role players step up on Game 7. No one even thinks that Mavericks will pin down Suns on up to 46 big points. They put the top Phoenix Suns in embarrassment here as the second team in the NBA that experienced an over 30+ point deficit in the history of Game 7. Aside from that, playing in Game 7 against the host team is tough to do.

Not saying Mavericks has a high chance to beat the Warriors but I will look forward to that.

Yes, thanks to Dallas for that upset and a good win for the underdog bettors. They will have to play consistently against the Warriors though, Luka is going to be a tough match for any team, he can shoot 3, post up, dribble penetrate. Will be looking forward to the Warriors match up, I think it will be Wiggins who are going to hound him throughout the series or maybe Otto Porter as the next line of defense and then Kuminga. I don't think that either Poole or KT will guard him as they are too small. Dirk must be very happy to see his Dallas team moving to the Western conference finals after 11 years.

Good luck mate, tough call. Dallas on the betting lines are still undervalued, as they are the heavy underdog in the series despite the fact that they beat the Suns in the semi Finals. Luka had already prove he got skills,  but of course, fans sees the Warriors as a strong team as they are in this kind of situation many times before, and them going back to the NBA Finals, that would make the NBA finals more interesting.

Current Warriors team is much stronger to the Suns roster because they have the complete line that makes them champion before excluding KD. Steph Curry improves a oot because he is now unstoppable both inside and out. Luka Doncic is really improve a lot too but GSW is on different level than Suns in terms of shooting accuracy. Even with overwhelming odds, Betting with Mavs in handicap type bet is tthe best choice because of the odds and there capacity to kill strong team.

Suns also have a complete line up, in fact they were the favorite to win the NBA Finals this season prior to the playoffs, or as the playoffs is approaching. however, Mavericks did upset them, personally, I'm surprised also, but I now have to believe that Luka got magic not only for him to remain consistent, but he also makes his teammates better.

and by the way, let's not forget what coach Kidd did to this team. He did a great job so far.

Exactly, Suns was the heavy favorite too but despite of that Dallas has shut them up in that game 7. Just saw the vid where Coach Kidd mic'ed up in the sideline and it was just fun to watch how he did that job, he's really into it. Let's see the battle between former NBA players as well and now as coach, who might gonna win this time?

Luka had already prove he got skills,  but of course, fans sees the Warriors as a strong team as they are in this kind of situation many times before, and them going back to the NBA Finals, that would make the NBA finals more interesting.

That's normal, Luka is also underrated and he is the superstar of the team so we shouldn't also expect that they will be the favorite against the team who did a back to back champion few years back. Also, on their match against the Phoenix Suns, they are also the underdog from the start of the series until they eliminated the Suns. This will be an interesting game.

[Oasisman]

I think Warriors is on the mission to come back to the finals again so I might be rooting for them for this series. However, I would also like to see how good Luka is on leading his team to the finals or win the finals early of his career. They said Luka is the next LeBron who can carry a team to become a playoff caliber team. But If Luka and the Mavs wins it all this year, I'll have to believe that Luka is better than LeBron.

If Luka can lead these young Mavericks to the Finals this year then for me he is better than Lebron James because Luka never talks to the front office that he needs these kinds of players to help him or he never joined a team to form a big3, something like that hehe.

This is a very interesting series considering that the Warriors have been exposed by the Grizzlies, I mean even if the Grizzlies are young but they still give the Warriors one hell of a fight, how much more with these bigger and gutsy Mavericks.

I'm a Warrior fan but seeing how Luka and the rest of the Mavs performed, I'm afraid that they will be eliminated by the latter in the coming days, hoping here that I'm wrong.

Dallas Mavericks is already an underdog before the playoffs started.

They are not considered a threat before the playoffs. But looking at what they have done so far, upsetting the Utah Jazz, upsetting the Phoenix Suns, and on a mission again to upset the heavy favorite, Golden State Warriors, that's already a big achievement to them that's why even not their fans are recognizing them.

The team is underrated. I like them to win the WCF.

I like the Mavericks to win, too, but I also want more of Poole on this NBA season since he's already proven that he can go toe to toe against NBA players that have been playing in the paint far longer than he is. I like to see him go further and get his ring at a very young age. Although his attitude 'sometimes' isn't very good, overall he's still a good player that will post some good records in the next coming years during his tenure in the NBA.

I think the win against the Suns is one of the biggest story in this playoff. Down 0-2 but when Doncic started to play game 3 onwards the Mavs is a different team.

We might have to give credit to coach Kidd for his nice adjustments. It is a per game adjustment and it really went very well as plan. Specially with how Dinwiddie and Brunson become the X factor in the last 3 games to help them win big.

Mavericks have always been underrated especially since the Warriors have a huge fandom and they've been loyal for years. Poole still has a lot to prove but honestly, he has shown great performances this season. It's just that he still has to put up a good name to reach tenures' achievements.

That would not change, unless they'll beat the Warriors on both game 1 and 2.
Even if Mavericks will win the series, they will still be the underdog in the NBA Finals because they are not really expected to go this far.

Poole still has a lot to prove but honestly, he has shown great performances this season. It's just that he still has to put up a good name to reach tenures' achievements.

Poole have already proven what he can do, besides, he is not a star player of the team, so his contribution is really more than enough already.

Mavericks lose game 1, I expect them to lose but not with a very huge margin.
It's a 25 point win enjoyed by the Warriors, so if the same trend will happen again, I think Warriors will still win game 2 and it's up for the Mavericks if they will respond to the challenge in game 3 and 4 which they will be playing on their home court.

Poole still has a lot to prove but honestly, he has shown great performances this season. It's just that he still has to put up a good name to reach tenures' achievements.

Poole played well in game 1. he made    19 points from 8/12 shooting, efficient night for him.

[Vaculin]

The splash brothers does not have to work hard anymore because of role players like Poole who can score on a consistent basis.

And also, let us not forget the contribution of some players on the Warriors roster.
Wiggins 19 points
Looney 10 points
Green 10 points
Porter Jr.10 points.

And not only that, Warriors also dominated the rebounding department with 51-35 difference.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

^^ 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.

This is like a Warriors vs Denver series, Warriors dominated the 2 home games and steal 1 game on the road. I think the series won't be long if Dallas will not make an adjustment in game 1 on how to limit Curry, because if they are down 2-0, I will expect that the Warriors would already win the series.

The chemistry of the warriors are very evident, everyone was playing their role effectively.

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 chemistry plays the big role here. They are magnificent from both defense and their offensive attacks. I love how Wiggins

played today, he is really adjusting to his new role being a 2-way player like Klay will give him more confidence. Looking to see a new

super 5 of GSW. Splash bro and their cousin Poole plus Green and Wiggins, who will be the main defensive ministers.

Actually, I don't have any problem with that Luka's style since that was effective throughout.

My concern is those lots of failed attempts at the rainbow area right from the 1st Quarter. Dodging the Warrior's defense isn't a problem with the Mavericks but there are lots of uncontested shots made by Luka, Brunson, Bullock, and Kleber to name a few but they can't nail those shots. In other words, almost the majority of Mavericks gunners are having their worst shooting percentage that night regardless if it was well-defended or not.

I believed they can bounce back. The series is still a long way to go. Mavericks don't have a Game 1 win yet in the whole playoffs. They always started behind.

[LGD2Business]

Why do you open a separate topic for each series when the biggest gambling topic of the forum is the NBA? I don't understand why you see such a requirement.
For the Golden State - Dallas series to be long, Dallas needs to put up resistance and level the series tonight. Otherwise, the return of the series after 2-0 is close to impossible. Doncic must give his all today and other players must play their best games alongside him.

So with that, I think they'll also lose in game 2 and will win game 3. They will have to make the right adjustment, but if their shooting is still awful, then most likely we will see the same result as in game 1. Warriors are very much ready, they'll do everything to protect their home court, so I expect a 2-0 score after game 2.

That's the public perception, however, if we look at the previous round, on the games of the Warriors, they don't cover most of the games. Actually, most of the games are covered by the Memphis, and that's why we have to be very careful when it comes to betting as the line that we think is very attractive could only be a trap to beat us.

For sure Luka will be back and will try to steal one game at Chase Center. But it will be very difficult if the others players are not going to shot very well. That's their main weapon in beating the Suns previously. But with the way they shoot in the first game, it was absent. Maybe credit to the Warriors for a good defense, but the Mavs need to find their shooting form back in they wanted this series to be close or if they want to have a chance to advance to the championship.

It's easy to say though but it's hard to do that.
Warriors did well on limiting Luka, and when Luka is limited, that would mean his team will struggle.

Luka has to scored at least 30 points with a good shooting night and with at least 10 assists for them to have a chance, if he cannot do that, then I would not expect them to win game 2.

[TravelMug]

It's now 2-0, Warriors made a huge comeback in the 3rd and 4th quarter after Luka and the Mavs take the first 2.

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.

Well, I can sense a 4-1 series or worse sweep. Dallas Mavs doesn't seem ready for how strong the Warriors fundamentally. You have Curry, Thompson, and Green. These three are the most important pieces on the Warriors history. Not to mention Iggy who has not played a single game in this series.
If Dallas losses another one at home in game 3, I can say that's the end of their playoff run.
Doncic, Brunson, Finney-Smith, and Bullock all played well as they take on the early huge lead, but wasn't enough to win the game.

I see the same, the fact that they gave up a huge lead, simply tells us they are not a championship team. If they hold on to that lead, they could have even the series already, but no, they allow themselves to go on a 0-2 hole and I don't think we will see the same scenario as the Mavs vs Suns series.

[agustina2]

What a huge odds for the Mavericks after that Game 2 loss.

The odds for them are to win the NBA Championship title is now 18.70
The odds for Luka Doncic winning the NBA Finals MVP is now 21
The odds for Mavericks to win the Western Conference Finals is 6.30 from 2.80

But what I'm surprised is the Moneyline odds for them in Game 3. Even they are behind they are given 1.7 odds to win the game over 2.09 for the Warriors.

That's normal because Mavericks are the only team that has not won a single game in the conference finals.
They waste their opportunity to even the series, so their chances are now lower.
However, if you still believe in them, might as well gamble with the very attractive odds.

But what I'm surprised is the Moneyline odds for them in Game 3. Even they are behind they are given 1.7 odds to win the game over 2.09 for the Warriors.

They are -2 in my sportsbook, I think it will attract a lot of Warriors bet, I don't know, I think I will just take the Warriors to win 4-0 because if they'll win game 3, they will likely win game 4.

It's now 2-0, Warriors made a huge comeback in the 3rd and 4th quarter after Luka and the Mavs take the first 2.

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.

Mavs have to take advantage now their homecourt so most probably, they will bounce back and take the game 3. This can be a crucial game for both teams because we know Mavs are capable of coming back from being behind on the series. Warriors made a good composure in game 2, they didn't bother about the big lead in the first half, instead they focus on the remaining quarters so they can catch up the lead and take over. Warriors have a good morale advantage here, this can be a 3-0 lead if they are able to do the same strategy they are using since game 1.

Home court advantage usually a winning game and Mavs here won’t let to be upset so most probably, we will see them winning in the coming games especially in Game 3. The odds with Mavs is not that good since many expect them to be better in this finals and yet, they are still win less. Mavs should match up the strategy of Warriors also, they should know how to protect their lead since they are leading until the 3rd quarter of game 2, they could have take this win. Game 3 will be for Mavs here, I’ll bet despite of the odds.

Mavs made an adjustment already, they just need some consistency. I mean, if they can win in the 1st half, they have to continue their hot shooting in the 2nd half. The warriors are good in the 2nd half, they cannot neglect that reality, they should always be prepared to respond on every run the Warriors will make, and by the way, they are at home so use the support of the fans to play inspired bastketball.

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.

Well, I can sense a 4-1 series or worse sweep. Dallas Mavs doesn't seem ready for how strong the Warriors fundamentally. You have Curry, Thompson, and Green. These three are the most important pieces on the Warriors history. Not to mention Iggy who has not played a single game in this series.
If Dallas losses another one at home in game 3, I can say that's the end of their playoff run.
Doncic, Brunson, Finney-Smith, and Bullock all played well as they take on the early huge lead, but wasn't enough to win the game.

I'm not a Dallas Mavericks fan but I think it's still premature to say that the Mavericks are not that yet ready to face the strong hot Warriors, I remember that we also thought the same scenario that they will be the first team to be eliminated when they had a 0-2 run against the Phoenix Suns but they managed to adjust well and gave the Suns a hard time.

Well, if it turns out that they will lose tomorrow at their home against the Warriors then that's likely the time to say that it's too late for them to survive that much deficit.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

^^ I don't think we can compare the Suns and the Warriors though, just saying. But I will have to agree that it won't be beneficial for them if they lose the next game. So this game is very important, they need to bring their A-game in both ends otherwise it will be a sweep by the Warriors or 4-1 and then obviously the end of their season. Kevon Looney is the hero for the Warriors last game, maybe we will see another Warrior stepping up if they are going to win huge at Dallas.

This now or never for Dallas since if they lose, Warriors will have more confidence to end the season and claim tha trophy. I think they should have more sense of urgency here and have a better game plays for them to take care of the lead, Dallas can really compete with Warriors they just need to be consistent and execute their game plan, this is not yet over for them but they should take this game.

Those leads on the first half was a great one, its just that the experience of warriors players came out and help the team take the lead back and win the game. Their next game will be more exciting since they are playing at the Dallas home court and this could be the best chance for Dallas to take a win and chase warriors to tied the series. This is far from over, Dallas is able to came back against the Suns and maybe they can do it again.

[Velvet78]

There are one and a half hours left or the Dallas Mavericks - Golden State Warriors game. It is game 3 for these teams and Warriors are still in the lead, 2-0. They might seem as very comfortable or advantageous for now. But this can change any time depending on the result of this game especially. Because honestly I don't think Warriors will be able to win one more time here. Mavericks must have learned their lesson by now. Hence I'm waiting for a better Mavericks especially in their defense. As for offense, they are already very good thanks to Doncic especially.

[harizen]

No need for a much deeper analysis regarding the Dallas Mavericks.

Game 3 is an important game to them. Losing here is like sealing already the series for the Golden State Warriors. Tonight's game is win-or-go-home for them and they should do everything to win that game. I know they already know what to do compared to us here.

For Mavericks fans out there, hang on and expect a good result tonight. No room for any mistakes here in Game 3.

Sadly, They still can't beat GSW on 3rd quarter onward. Game 3 is the same scenario as the first 2 games. I'm rooting for the Mavs here because they are the underdog and Luka is so good despite they are losing all the 3 games but he can't close the gap during last quarter despite his consistent 3 point shot and drive since GSW always answering it quickly and early shutdown the momentum he is building for his team.

I just want to give a commend on Andrew Wiggins for his improved performance since they fight the Mavs. He is the key player that keeps stopping the momentum of the Mavs even though his contribution is not always being noticed due to Curry and other guy's shots made. He improves especially on 3 points and free throw line which makes the warriors unbeatable.

Yeah, the Warriors made another good run in the 3rd quarter. That's 30-21 score and it was the most important quarter of the Warriors in the game as that's where they dominated the Mavericks. Curry showed his MVP form, shooting was too effortless for him and they just get better in the game as Wiggins also explode.

And just like that. Another mistake for the Dallas Mavericks? nah, what they need is experience and a better 2nd half game plan.
Talent beats experience. Luka can't do it alone. Kleber and Bullock has zero score and went 0/15, that alone is a statement why they lose. Remember how many Dallas players posted a double digit scoring in game 2 and had a huge lead early, but still lose.
Just like what I've said in my last post, Mavs are done as they lost in game 3. They could win atleast 1 at home and that's it. The WCF series is basically done, not officially though.

They are not called a champion if they are not used to taking this opponent advantage situation , Warriors is one of the best in beating the lead .

and this is the reason why I never stop Idolizing the Golden state warriors since the day they become a champion .

and even if they won't take this one? still Warrior is my team .

Everyone loves the Warriors, and now that they are back in the NBA Finals (assuming), the level of the game is now different because the Warriors are an explosive team and their opponent has to match their intensity. Actually, the Warriors are better now because they have a lot of shooters that could play, and coach Kerr is genius to get everyone involve and that makes the players ready all the time to contribute.

There current roster is there best team so far even compared to when KD is with them. They have a balance and not so single centered player strategy type because all of them are making a shot. This is a result of organic player development and not just acquiring star players from other teams just like what Lebron keeps doing on the team he newly joined. The foundation of warriors is so strong and solid. The recovery timing of all the star players on GSW is very favorable to them since they only now focusing on playoffs with less games in mind unlike other team that players are already have fatigue and minor injury that they are carrying through there regular season run.

I think this is not yet over for Mavs because Luka still not given up. Maybe they can manage a miracle to reverse sweep this on momentum Golden States Warriors. The odds is low but still manageable if Mavs bench can support Luka while he is resting.

[OgNasty]

^ I don’t think we’re going to see a miracle. Luka should be proud he was able to get Dallas this far, but this Warriors teams is arguably one of the best teams ever (or was in their dynasty days). I’m looking forward to seeing the Warriors in the Finals again. Now we just have to wait and see who their opponent is.

It's still not over but it's very obvious that Warriors will win the series. The game was not even close,  Warriors still dominated the Mavs on their home court. Just imagine, this is how good the Warriors are, after Mavericks beat the best team in the NBA, now the Warriors are trying to sweep them.

[FFrankie]

I don't believe in judging a series outcome based upon the previous games played especially in today's climate there is no guarantee that any player will play for either team tomorrow.

It certainly looks the warriors are going to win since no team has ever come back to win four games in a row

I think they have to get a little more commerical coverage so I think 2 more games

[Baofeng]

It's because the Suns was not able to adjust to the game of Luka, giving him too much confidence, look at his swag on that series, taunting Booker and anyone that guards him. But in the Warriors series, Wiggins take it hard against Luka every time, and that dunk? he posterized Luka there and for sure it will be the talk on the Warriors dug out. And Wiggins showing that he was an all star player caliber, rising his game on the playoffs. Don't be surprised if this is going to be a sweep (no offense to Mavs fans).

actually it's just guessing from an event (match) Friend. About predictions that will occur and may be accurate according to the percentage that occurs is a fundamental possibility.
a little more guys, warriors show their existence that they are worthy of an achievement. if only 1 bright round of course could have shifted and just happened. i believe steven curry will heed it back, i can hardly believe how many times it happens per event. there is no extreme resistance, the main points from the opponent. Warriors are very optimistic and maybe the next few rounds will continue to be led by warriors

[Kelvinid]

Warriors are very optimistic and maybe the next few rounds will continue to be led by warriors

There's no more few rounds, if they will win this series, they will be headed to the last round which is the NBA Finals, and they will have to face the winner of the Heat vs Celtics. Now, if Heat will beat Celtics tomorrow, then we will know whom the Warriors will be facing in the NBA Finals.

Yes, we are heading to the NBA Finals, but it seemed like the East is not going to end early like what will happen to the West which I believe game 5 would be the maximum. Dallas already showed everything they have, they cannot answer the offense of the warriors and their defensive style, so they are done in the ECF, welcome to the NBA Finals GSW.

Checking the odds for game 4, still the Mavs are the slight favorite, so bookies still thinks that the Mavs can pull a win next game.

Nevertheless, I would agree that they are done in this series, they've given all the got, Luka having magical numbers not seen in years, and yet they still fall to the massive offense of the the Warriors. Even in the last second when you wanted to foul, you don't know who it is going to be because they have 3 of the best FT shooters in the floor at the same time.

I would not waste my money anymore for the Mavs as they'll just likely lose in game 4. I don't trust the Warriors as well as we don't know what team the refs will favor, in short, it's very unpredictable and I can't gamble when I'm not confident with my pick.

If we are aiming for a miracle, then it must be Mavs wins over the Warriors  but that never happen. Luka has never been enough to win a battle over the core three of Warriors. But still, kudos to Luka for giving his best efforts to take Mavs this far, and if he can improve his performance together with his team, Mavs will certainly something to be watch out for in the next season. But maybe this time, its just that Warriors are unbeatable and if they'll become consistent till their last game, then its definitely Warriors who will excel this season.

They are not called a champion if they are not used to taking this opponent advantage situation , Warriors is one of the best in beating the lead .

and even if they won't take this one? still Warrior is my team .

If Warriors didn’t lose their key players before and Klay remains healthy, I believe they have more championships before and I also believe on them. The way they play this conference is really different and they really want to get the NBA Championship for this year. 3-0 lead is a big thing, Dallas was not able to take advantage their home court and its too hard now for them to win. I’m convinced, Warriors will win on this one.

Having those former players then i dont really have any doubts on GSW specially on Curry where this man play extraordinary.This team is good both defense and offense.
I used to love Dallas but this cant really beat up Warriors and would really be closing out this one but well it seems Luka do really enjoy each game.

Luka now experiencing what Lebron has experienced when they were dominated by the Warriors. They'll be lucky if they will win one game, and game 4 is their only chance of winning, so they should not waste that opportunity as they are at home, at least give their fans one game to enjoy.

It had been a long time since Klay Tompson had taken a vacation, and like a wand pulled 1 would lose 1 balance for the warrior. Between team injuries, supporters and gamblers, it seems the stakes are less than optimal.
especially the fighters will hold the future, i admit if they lead by just a few points for this series. nba finals may be very much awaited by many,and then maybe betting is effective timing and toast

and even if they won't take this one? still Warrior is my team .

If Warriors didn’t lose their key players before and Klay remains healthy, I believe they have more championships before and I also believe on them. The way they play this conference is really different and they really want to get the NBA Championship for this year. 3-0 lead is a big thing, Dallas was not able to take advantage their home court and its too hard now for them to win. I’m convinced, Warriors will win on this one.

Having those former players then i dont really have any doubts on GSW specially on Curry where this man play extraordinary.This team is good both defense and offense.
I used to love Dallas but this cant really beat up Warriors and would really be closing out this one but well it seems Luka do really enjoy each game. 

Luka now experiencing what Lebron has experienced when they were dominated by the Warriors. They'll be lucky if they will win one game, and game 4 is their only chance of winning, so they should not waste that opportunity as they are at home, at least give their fans one game to enjoy.

It had been a long time since Klay Tompson had taken a vacation, and like a wand pulled 1 would lose 1 balance for the warrior. Between team injuries, supporters and gamblers, it seems the stakes are less than optimal.
especially the fighters will hold the future, i admit if they lead by just a few points for this series. nba finals may be very much awaited by many,and then maybe betting is effective timing and toast

But Klay Thompson is back now, and though he is not playing well like he used to be, but he is still a big factor for the success of the Warriors so far. He was out for like 2 season, but back healthy now and he can have a big game like the game 6 against the Memphis.

In my own opinion, Luka is slow,he's good but he's not unstoppable.When the year started, I wasn't expecting the Warriors to be so good. It's going to be an exciting final series with the next team.
Congratulations to the Mavs though for being here,  I wasn't expecting them to go pass the Suns because in that game against the Suns he could walk up go one on one and cook then on defense he was not having to run around constantly.

[ralle14]

Checking the odds for game 4, still the Mavs are the slight favorite, so bookies still thinks that the Mavs can pull a win next game.

Yup, they probably expect the Mavs to get desperate here as any team would want to at least get one win before going out of the playoffs. The other teams that the Warriors faced during the previous rounds managed to get one at home so they should at least do the same here.

At the same time, the Warriors might prefer to close it out in four as they would get more preparation time since the other series is likely to go through the distance.

He's not actually slow, it's his style of play that looks like he slow coz he's using his size and strength as he is a bit oversized for a point guard position.
Anyways, it's not Luka who's the problem why Warriors are beating them. It's the whole Mavs team without no experience in the big stage against a veteran team who's been living in the Finals since  2015.

Right, that is deceiving, but what Luka do is control his phase and see how the defense will react, if the defense is slow, then he might take advantage to go to the basket or shot long distance. If the defense is close then he will go for an outside pass. And he is having a good series, but the rest of the whole Mavs are struggling at this high level of basketball, and maybe that is because they don't have the experience yet. So this is their last game to proved or at least get one win.

It's not about the experience, Warriors are just the better team and that's the real reason why they beat the Mavs 3 in a row. Curry and company are too composed in the game, they never panic, they always follow the game plan and everyone is contributing.

[Distinctin]

^^ I don't think we can compare the Suns and the Warriors though, just saying. But I will have to agree that it won't be beneficial for them if they lose the next game. So this game is very important, they need to bring their A-game in both ends otherwise it will be a sweep by the Warriors or 4-1 and then obviously the end of their season. Kevon Looney is the hero for the Warriors last game, maybe we will see another Warrior stepping up if they are going to win huge at Dallas.

There's indeed nothing to compare between the Warriors and Suns, I'm just stating in the previous quote that it's still too premature to say that the Dallas Mavericks aren't that ready to face the hot Warriors because they also survived the same run.

But given the scenario we have now that they have already lost 3 consecutive games, this will be their biggest challenge if they can still survive the series and turn the tables in their favor. I'll be honest, I don't think they can still recover on that stand they have now. And tomorrow is the 4th game, the Warriors may just end the series with a sweep.

That’s correct, not all about the experience but more on the leadership with the seniors guiding those young players to perform at their best and with a great team work, Warriors are able to beat Mavs. Tomorrow will be a crucial game for Mavs, it’s now or never and its really a heart break to loss at your home court, Mavs still have the chance to at least get a win.

You see new names making big contributions for Warriors and that is the biggest reason why Warriors will take the Championship in just a few hours from now. Mavs are already losing their confidence and a 3-0 lead is a big thing, they can’t comeback from this not unless miracles goes in favor to them. Will go for all out to Warriors this time, I’ll join the betting site to win some, let’s see.

I am thinking the exact same thing. Mavericks don't have the experience to make any sort of comeback by a seasoned team like the Warriors.
They will get swept in this series and Golden state will want to end it early so to have a rest when they met the next team to move on to the finals.
I am going to guess and put Golden State to win by a wide margin as Luka couldn't start anything last match and is distraught he doesn't have any players who can match his skill so to back him up in this playoff run, which fell flat way to quickly.

For what we see on what currently have with perfect execution on offensive and defensive end Mavs really don't have anything to push back this series in favor to them and most provably they will be sweep by GSW because I actually don't see some major adjustment as they keep relying on Luka in terms of offensive matters. Maybe they should start to look for the weakness of the death 5 line up and maybe they should insert Boban inside to establish inside presence and might this will give a hard time for Warriors to penetrate inside the paint.

The Mavs strategy in this series is quite clear. Keep shooting outside and pray that it will go in. The problem is most of Luka's teammates are missing a lot of those shots even though they have clean looks. Changing their strategy like inserting Boban won't work either since he's not that mobile. The Warriors are quick on the inside and can rely on their outside shooting anytime.

If they would really be having that kind of behavior on which too much relying on Luca will really not work if you do compare on how Warriors do execute plays and teamwork then you could actually see the difference in between teams.He carries too much on his shoulders unlike on the other side which each player do function out well and could really make out move both defense and offense
GSW is really just too good when it comes to outside/3pt shooting which do really gradually make the lead gap even more wider as timer counts.

I'm expecting that Dallas Mavericks at least will have underdog odds this Game 4. I think this is the first time I saw a team behind 0-3 that still listed as a slight favorite to win the game. Bookies might think that Mavericks can still able to pull this one even though it's clear from the previous 3 games that Mavericks can't handle the much more dominant Warriors.

That's one of their problems even back in Game 1. Even though there's no defender, some of Luka's teammates can't still make a shot.

His teammates need to adjust at all costs. The later game will be their last game if they still didn't step up.

Mavericks won and lucky to those who took the risk on betting with them.
Warriors are off in game 4, some says they are affected by the current incidents in Texas but I think its ok to give credit sometimes to Mavericks since they did their best today and the result is really good for them. Though I doubt about them winning, but at least they show a good match. Game 5 is the home court advantage of Warriors, they should finish this already.

The Mavs performed well on this game, and I don't think it's just lucky of them that they pulled through. However the next game I don't think they will be having enough fuel in the tank left to go against the Warriors on their home court. We need some kind of miracle from Luka and the gang to make this series extend even further and for us to watch for more games before the series finale. I'm betting something for the Mavericks for me to have a reason to root for them, but I don't see this going any further than game 5.

They don't even win a close game in chase center, so I think the Warriors will have a blowout win in game 5.

Warriors cannot lose that game, otherwise, they'll have the pressure as the game could reach game 7. And yes, it's a miracle, as the Mavericks need to win 3 straight games in order for them to beat the Warriors, and since it has not happened in the history of the NBA, I would not believe they'll achieve that big success.

So yeah, Warriors it is. GAME 5, no more games.

I believe that as well, and I think that win by the Mavs would already attract bettors to place their bet on them as they think that Mavs could win or at least cover the spread if they lose. Me, I'm not buying their last performance, thing is, the Warriors have not lost a game yet on their home court, so I'd go with the trend.

Even though they win, still very close, I mean they have a huge lead but the Warriors was able to cut it into single digits in the 4th with three minutes and they made a final push.

Fortunately, for the Mavs, they were able to hold the late spurt of the Warriors and win by 10 points. But the score didn't tell the whole story. So yes, probably in the next game, the Warriors are going to close out the show.

Dallas Mavericks still managed to hold off a GSW late rally and snatched game 4. Some eyebrows raised and were curious especially when GSW bench players managed to rally in the last few minutes but were pulled out by Steve Kerr. The same curiosity on GSW before this series when Ja-less Memphis Grizzlies buried GSW and then closed their series when they played at home. I think GSW will also close this series in game 5 at home in San Francisco.

Same scenario happened during the first round against the Nuggets. I think this will be over in game 5 and the Warriors will not allow anymore that Mavs will dictate the temp, they will be dominating the game and will end with a huge margin, that's my prediction because it's a bounce back.

Many already place their bet for Warriors in Game 5, and there's no that that Warriors will have a huge chance here to take the win.

Follow the trend and you'll be alright. Actually, even if the Warriors are -10.5, I would still take them as I believe they'll win game 5. Things should favor the  Warriors, they are on their home court and they have the fans to support them so they'll celebrate after the game.

Right now the handicap for the Warriors is -7 and that's already good, however, it's still too early for me to bet and I'll wait for the tip-off first for Game 5.

I agree, a -10.5 spread is still reasonable as I know that they will be the ones who will advance to the Finals and that will happen on their next game at their homecourt.

Mavericks finally won a game in this series. I was even waiting to see them winning the third game but they failed. They have a very difficult work to do now even though they won the fourth game. Because Warriors are already 3-1 ahead in the series and all of the remaining games are like a series point for them. Doncic had a solid game too by the way. He had 30 points, 14 rebounds and 9 assists. He just continues to take the most of the responsibility for his team as always. But it looks like this is the end of the road for Mavericks.

[btc_angela]

Luka now experiencing what Lebron has experienced when they were dominated by the Warriors. They'll be lucky if they will win one game, and game 4 is their only chance of winning, so they should not waste that opportunity as they are at home, at least give their fans one game to enjoy.

In my own opinion, Luka is slow,he's good but he's not unstoppable.

He's not actually slow, it's his style of play that looks like he slow coz he's using his size and strength as he is a bit oversized for a point guard position.
Anyways, it's not Luka who's the problem why Warriors are beating them. It's the whole Mavs team without no experience in the big stage against a veteran team who's been living in the Finals since  2015.

Right, that is deceiving, but what Luka do is control his phase and see how the defense will react, if the defense is slow, then he might take advantage to go to the basket or shot long distance. If the defense is close then he will go for an outside pass. And he is having a good series, but the rest of the whole Mavs are struggling at this high level of basketball, and maybe that is because they don't have the experience yet. So this is their last game to proved or at least get one win.

It's not about the experience, Warriors are just the better team and that's the real reason why they beat the Mavs 3 in a row. Curry and company are too composed in the game, they never panic, they always follow the game plan and everyone is contributing.

And that's why they are the better them because they have the experience. Just like they beat the Memphis, for sure we can call them the better team because they are the second seed but the Warriors beat them.

Game 4 though was a good game for the Mavs, no sweep at least getting 1 victory might be a complement for them against a very experience and caliber team in Warriors.

Doncic is a great player but that’s not enough to beat the whole Warriors team and if Mavs only rely to him, then this could be bad for them. Game 5 will be the deciding game and I also believe this is the end for Mavericks this season which is still a good one. Warriors will take the win, they are more composed and they work really as a team, still kudos to Mavericks for playing all out in the finals.

The closest first win should they have is back on Game 2 where they blew their 19-point lead. In Game 4, they also did the same as they blew again their 29- points lead entering the 4th quarter downed to 8 points.

With that performance, Mavericks' rally might end up in Game 5. It's a great experience for the young Mavericks to face the championship lineup of the Warriors to give them a good reference for their career. Warriors' young players too are doing their best.

It's hard to believe that the Warriors will lose 4 games in a row. It's technically possible but the chances are low to happen obviously. I do have a bet on Mavericks to win the series but I already concede with my bet.

[Dave1]

Mavericks finally won a game in this series. I was even waiting to see them winning the third game but they failed. They have a very difficult work to do now even though they won the fourth game. Because Warriors are already 3-1 ahead in the series and all of the remaining games are like a series point for them. Doncic had a solid game too by the way. He had 30 points, 14 rebounds and 9 assists. He just continues to take the most of the responsibility for his team as always. But it looks like this is the end of the road for Mavericks.

Yes, I'm not seeing the Warriors losing 4 straight unless something bad happen to their players. So it's game 5, to be held on Warriors home court, so I guess they will have to finished it and have a good rest and then wait for their opponent for the finals. Luka though proved that he can carry a team in the playoffs and he is not a choker and I would say trash talker.  . Opening line for the Warriors for those who are interested, -6.5.

^^ I don't think we can compare the Suns and the Warriors though, just saying. But I will have to agree that it won't be beneficial for them if they lose the next game. So this game is very important, they need to bring their A-game in both ends otherwise it will be a sweep by the Warriors or 4-1 and then obviously the end of their season. Kevon Looney is the hero for the Warriors last game, maybe we will see another Warrior stepping up if they are going to win huge at Dallas.

This now or never for Dallas since if they lose, Warriors will have more confidence to end the season and claim tha trophy. I think they should have more sense of urgency here and have a better game plays for them to take care of the lead, Dallas can really compete with Warriors they just need to be consistent and execute their game plan, this is not yet over for them but they should take this game.

Those leads on the first half was a great one, its just that the experience of warriors players came out and help the team take the lead back and win the game. Their next game will be more exciting since they are playing at the Dallas home court and this could be the best chance for Dallas to take a win and chase warriors to tied the series. This is far from over, Dallas is able to came back against the Suns and maybe they can do it again.

Fortunately, Dallas wins in Game 4 and you are correct, it's their best chance and that's what they did. Took a big lead, and then they try to hold Warriors to win that game.

However,' that's only one game and not Game 5 shifts to Chase center wherein GSW is very hard to beat. So this might be the final game for Dallas as the Steph Curry doesn't want to go back in Game 6 at American Airline as the crowd for sure are going to be hostile.

Game 5 is going to be exciting to watch for the Warriors, not sure if everyone is betting on the Warriors, but I would not hesitate putting my bet on the Warriors knowing they are extremely good at home, and this is a revenge of their game 4 lose to the Mavs.

We will know tomorrow if Warriors will end the series, as for the betting line, Warriors are currently -7 now, it's not that high considering the 1st and 2nd game, it's the Warriors who dominate the game, and they cover the spread on that 2 games. So maybe bookies value the win of the Mavs in game 4 big time, so they are only +7 now.

If we follow the trend, then we should not overthink, that -7 is already a gift for the Warriors bettors.
This is gambling, we have to take risk based on what we believe, and personally, Warriors are my bet to  win in the NBA Finals, so I'm also betting on them for this possible last game.

So maybe bookies value the win of the Mavs in game 4 big time, so they are only +7 now.

We don't know, they make the odds or line based on the public perception.

The chances of this "something bad happen to their players" to happen? Low to no chance and as long as their all-star players will play, they will still have a high chance to win.
Like what you said, I don't see them also losing 4 straight games in the playoffs, or they will be the ones that will break the record, which sound very disappointing and humiliating to them. If that happens, I don't know what will the Warriors' management do to the whole roster.

Luka is proven already that he can carry his team. The only problem is that, they don't have a 2nd superstar that will help him because in order for a team to win, you must've at least 2 superstars. His trash talking skills are just normal, and it's part of the game. He is like Draymond Green . Good game to the Mavericks, but I see the Warriors ending the series in Game 5.

Yes, congratulations for those who ride the Dallas Mavericks in Game 4 because many have believed that the Warriors will lose that day as they are more likely to close the series on their home which is tomorrow. That particular game was a roller coaster and coach Kerr accepted their defeat much earlier that's why he let the bench players play but the said players even cut the huge lead.
If Steve Kerr let his main players play they could've go home that night with a win but they chose to let it happen in their home. Game 5 tomorrow and likely be the last game in WCF this season.

[OgNasty]

Game 5 tomorrow and likely be the last game in WCF this season.

I would agree with that statement.  The Warriors let their foot off the gas last game but I think they're ready to put the Mavericks away and send Luka on a trip to Cancun.  The guys on TNT have to be ready to do their fishing routine tonight, as it will almost certainly be the end of the Dallas Mavericks' season.  They did much better than I thought they would, but they just don't have the depth of talent that Golden State has.

Doncic is a great player but that’s not enough to beat the whole Warriors team and if Mavs only rely to him, then this could be bad for them. Game 5 will be the deciding game and I also believe this is the end for Mavericks this season which is still a good one. Warriors will take the win, they are more composed and they work really as a team, still kudos to Mavericks for playing all out in the finals.

It is almost too hard to believe that this series will reach Game 7 because the Warriors only have 1 game left for them to move and wait in the Finals, they surely wouldn't want to exhaust themselves that much. Nobody can deny that the Mavericks are really impressive this season especially for Luka as this is his 1st playoff experience but he did try and carry the team to play in the position they have now, unfortunately, this might be their end this season.

There are 13 times has made a comeback from a 3-1 deficit during conference finals and GSW should remember that they overcome that one in 2016 WCF. Moreover, we know how huge a threat GSW is on the offense and definitely would end it if they wouldn't trip and be focused.

3-1 is something else, it could be 3-1 right now, but it was 3-0, meaning if they ever make a comeback, Mavs would be doing the first ever 3-0 comeback in NBA history as far as I know. And I am not seeing that at all. Don't get me wrong if you get Curry injured god forbid or something like that then things could maybe change. But to win 4 times in a row after losing 3 times in a row requires some serious changes and even a single game, a single stretch of not scoring properly, like anything that changes the momentum and you are done. Hence 3-0 is not something anyone can comeback from, I am not seeing Mavs getting this serious at all and giving a %0 chance to it.

There will be no come back anymore, Warriors is on a great lead right now and the way they are playing tonight compare to Mavs, they will surely eager to get the championship and they are heading to that title again, minutes from now. Warriors from the beginning of this conference, they know where they are heading and all their hard work slowly pays off, kudos to the coaching staff of Warriors.

5 more minutes left and GSW is leading 13 points. Stephen Curry is being defended well and is shooting poorly. Thanks to GSW's multi offense squad, the other guys step up especially Klay Thompson with his 29 points. The experience and offense are too much for this short handed Dallas squad.

I am confident that this series is gonna get closed today. But my bet is at -6.5 and with that spread then it is still close.

[Fundamentals Of]

Congratulations to the Golden State Warriors for winning the western conference finals. They really are a great team. Even this early I think it is safe to assume that they have a great chance to be the NBA champion. Special recognition should be give to Klay, Wiggins, and Green for stepping up and taking over the game when their star Steph Curry is being strongly defended, at least in this game. Looney is also contributing a lot to the team's effort with his strong rebounds.

Agreed with this. GSW only proved that they are still strong if they have the complete line-up despite there bad run years when there star players are injured. I want to commend Luka Doncic on the fantastic run of the Mavericks on this season despite his teammate not playing well most of the time. He single-handedly carried the team during a crucial time when Mavs need the points to come back into the game. Without Luka, I'm sure Mavs will not go this far. I hope Mavs will rebuilt and get a good center to complete there line-up and to strengthen there defence.

The 2 years recovery for Klay is all worth it now, he came back stronger and prove to still be a good player despite of what happened to them. Yeah, without Luka, Mavs will be on a different situation. Mavs should recruit more good players where the team doesn't need to rely on one player only, they should play as a team. Anyway, Congrats for Steph Curry for winning the finals MVP he really deserve it.

Looney is just a beast inside the paint. Double double again tonight and lets remember the game where he got 22 rebounds, 11 of them are offensive rebounds against the MEM.
Well, it's a bit expected I think that they will win in this game because we knew already what will happen when the Warriors lead 3-0. Maybe they gave Game 4 because they don't want to celebrate on the road team that's why they lost on Game 4 and win in Game 5 . JK

The Warriors are in the NBA Finals again and it's their 6th time in the last 8 years that will go to NBA Finals. The 2 years? They spent tanking to get some good picks for their future like Wiseman, Kuminga and Moody. I'm a Warrior fan since and if this roster will still be same, I think they can still win 2 championships at most . Congratulations to the Warriors for advancing. 4 wins more to get the title and for the Mavericks, good game to them still as nobody expected as well that they will defeat the Suns but they did it.

Warriors is just a tough team to beat after all, I think they now have all the odds to be the champions once again in the NBA, they're up in the rankings once again. Those outside shootings are just impossible to contain from the Warriors, they are a different breed tbh. I think it will be Celtics vs. Warriors in the NBA Finals.

Well, they have proved it before and they did it again this year. This only means that they don't really need KD to win those championships before, KD needs them.
What the Warriors only need is being healthy 100%. Iggy wasn't even playing, he was a great addition for both offensively and defensively.
I'm glad to see them once a again on the biggest stage.
I am also expecting the Celtics to win the ECF.

Celtics vs Warriors is going to be a nice series, Curry and Klay Thompson vs Tatum and Brown, such a good match up. This is the first time for the Celtics young guns to be in the NBA Finals, so I hope they won't panic as the Warriors are a different kind of an animal as an opponent, they have a dealth line up.

This is a nice series, actually, I was almost emotional when watching the warriors received their trophy. They were a good team, but due to injuries, they struggle, and now that they are back in the NBA Finals, I'm sure they will play hard to win another ring.

Klay Thompson is really a huge piece of the team, becasue with him now playing, the team gets better and better.

I wonder if there are odds for MVP Finals, for GSW I'm thinking it could either be Klay, Green, or the favorite Steph. For Celtics, no wonder the favorite will be to Jayson Tatum or either for Smart and Brown. If Draymond Green is expecting Celtics to be in the NBA Finals then I guess there's a threat for them on that, they are expecting something from this team.

I guess experience for Celtics team and coaching staff isn't at par if we compare it to the Warriors but we will see that in the Finals, of course if Celtics win. Celtics coaching staff aren't that bad at all too.

The last time I check, it was Curry who is the favorite on the Finals MVP race,  and Klay and Green have very attractive odds, so if the odds are available again, you can put your bet if you want.

Warriors is just a tough team to beat after all, I think they now have all the odds to be the champions once again in the NBA, they're up in the rankings once again. Those outside shootings are just impossible to contain from the Warriors, they are a different breed tbh. I think it will be Celtics vs. Warriors in the NBA Finals.

Well, they have proved it before and they did it again this year. This only means that they don't really need KD to win those championships before, KD needs them.
What the Warriors only need is being healthy 100%. Iggy wasn't even playing, he was a great addition for both offensively and defensively.
I'm glad to see them once a again on the biggest stage.
I am also expecting the Celtics to win the ECF.

It was a great game and Steph deserved the first ever Conference Finals MVP award. I agree with what Draymond said in the postgame interview with the TNT crew that they’ll be playing the Celtics next. I expect Steph will be holding up a Finals MVP trophy at the end of that series.

I wonder if there are odds for MVP Finals, for GSW I'm thinking it could either be Klay, Green, or the favorite Steph. For Celtics, no wonder the favorite will be to Jayson Tatum or either for Smart and Brown. If Draymond Green is expecting Celtics to be in the NBA Finals then I guess there's a threat for them on that, they are expecting something from this team.

I think all the available odds will be presented once the ECF is over. Maybe tomorrow, we will see the new ECF champion and with that said, it will be the Warriors vs Celtics in the Finals. Next to Curry, I think Thompson has a decent chance because he can take over the game like what he did in game 6.

Game 5 tomorrow and likely be the last game in WCF this season.

I would agree with that statement.  The Warriors let their foot off the gas last game but I think they're ready to put the Mavericks away and send Luka on a trip to Cancun.  The guys on TNT have to be ready to do their fishing routine tonight, as it will almost certainly be the end of the Dallas Mavericks' season.  They did much better than I thought they would, but they just don't have the depth of talent that Golden State has.

And just as expected, the WCF has been finished earlier and the Golden State Warriors are the ones who will advance to the Finals. They chose to finish the game at their home where they have their own set of fans to boost them and they would make the fans proud again. The Dallas Mavericks was indeed good as they have reached the conference finals even though they don't have that much experience, today, the Warriors has been unstoppable to the point that even the Mavericks didn't won even just for a single quarter.

Warriors had an early rest, they will be fresh in the NBA Finals, much fresher if the series will not end tomorrow and there will be a game 7 on the ECF. Warriors also have experienced some injuries, especially for Otto Porter Jr., but I think he will be back in the NBA Finals. If we compare the Warriors to the Celtics, Warriors are a healthier team.

Congratulations to the Golden State Warriors for winning the western conference finals. They really are a great team. Even this early I think it is safe to assume that they have a great chance to be the NBA champion. Special recognition should be give to Klay, Wiggins, and Green for stepping up and taking over the game when their star Steph Curry is being strongly defended, at least in this game. Looney is also contributing a lot to the team's effort with his strong rebounds.

Agreed with this. GSW only proved that they are still strong if they have the complete line-up despite there bad run years when there star players are injured. I want to commend Luka Doncic on the fantastic run of the Mavericks on this season despite his teammate not playing well most of the time. He single-handedly carried the team during a crucial time when Mavs need the points to come back into the game. Without Luka, I'm sure Mavs will not go this far. I hope Mavs will rebuilt and get a good center to complete there line-up and to strengthen there defence.

The 2 years recovery for Klay is all worth it now, he came back stronger and prove to still be a good player despite of what happened to them. Yeah, without Luka, Mavs will be on a different situation. Mavs should recruit more good players where the team doesn't need to rely on one player only, they should play as a team. Anyway, Congrats for Steph Curry for winning the finals MVP he really deserve it.

The Dallas Mavericks won't reach the Western Finals if not because of him, Luka literally carried the team to reach this place. I agree that they should invest in more consistent and useful players so that they will be much stronger, but let's see if we're going to see some new faces in their uniform.

Warriors can now have some rest and wait for the winning team in the Eastern conference.

Do you really think that this is the reason why they will win? I mean surely that will help them a lot, but they are so good that even if they played back to back, they would have been good enough to beat both Celtics and Heat, they are that good right now. It looks like 2015 Warriors all over again. They were so good in 2016 as well, they had a 73 win season, people forget about that because Lebron spoiled and ruined their year .

Curry got MVP unanimously as well, everyone voted for him and that is the only in MVP voting history, and got 73 wins, and managed to beat everyone and were up 3-1 as well. One more win and that was the best season from any team ever. They are looking like that in this playoffs, great job.

Congratulations to the Golden State Warriors on winning the NBA Western Conference Finals. They are now back again in the Finals scene after years of being in a build-mode as they have struck with injuries too. A good effort too by the Dallas Mavericks as their journey here in the playoffs is impressive. I can't even imagine they will be in the Top 4 as they faced some competitive teams along the way, against Utah Jazz and the top seed Phoenix Suns where only a few think they can beat that top seed team.

Warriors for me have a high chance to claim the NBA title again. Andrew Wiggins can be able to man-to-man both Jimmy Butler of the Miami Heat and Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics. He admits he has a hard time defending Luka but with that role, he has defensively, it contributes to his experience guarding the main scorer of any team.

They snatched out being champion without KD as I remember,, it was just purely those former team members curry,Thompson,green and now some additional which do plays well on their role even though health would be the main issue yet these fellas are really that prone to injuries just like what happen on some of them which do really reults into long time rest which did really affect overall performance of the whole team. Celtics vs Gsw for sure on last or finals.

KD though was a big help as he was clutch in the games that gave them championships and KD was the MVP. So yes, the core of Curry, Thompson and Green is still intact right now, but we should give KD his credit during his time as a Warriors.

But now that he is gone, the core is working very hard to win another ring. And with the help of Poole and Wiggins, they could be the NBA champion this year.

Well, it seems that you've predicted correctly because the Miami Heat dominated the Boston Celtics earlier and forces Game 7. That means more rest for the Warriors and time to watch how Celtics/Heat play so that they can prepare what to do. Also, Coach Steve Kerr and the whole Golden State Warriors have some news as they are expecting Gary Payton II to return for the Finals in Game 1. That's an addition asset to them as they lack defensive players.

[DukeNickle]

It was a very easy job for Warriors in this. I didn't expect this. Mavericks should have been able to fight really hard against them. Their performance against Suns was just fabulous and I expected to see the same level of effort here in this too. I assume that even Warriors weren't expecting this series to end this much quick. Warriors have started to play better as a team now. They don't rely on only one player anymore. In addition to Curry and Thompson, a few more players have started to show a good performance recently.

Yeah, its still recognizable on how KD contributes on achieving that championship but this one proves out that they arent needing anymore superstar to able to snatch out a ring once again.
Staying up with the basics plus proper execution in both offense and defense is the best recipe on winning a game.Just like that dude said above that i wasnt expecting too that they
would really be having an easy path on getting win against Mavs but so be it with having those cores then its not surprising and lets see on how they would go up against
with the finals.

The Warriors had the best record in NBA history before KD joined.  They didn't need KD, KD needed them to win a ring.  Interestingly, KD and Kyrie's old teams seem to be on the way to the Finals (Warriors & Celtics) while his new superteam was a first round exit that appears to already have been broken up once and will likely get broken up again next year.  I think Golden State will be just fine without KD...

[karabiber]

The Mavericks had a very bad series against the Golden State Warriors. But this season they were still successful. They need an upgrade in their frontline for sure and also they need to keep their guard trio. The Mavs defense fell short in the series. Good job by Jason Kidd improving the team a lot this season. I hope they have a great off season and come back as contenders next year!

Right. Golden State Warriors are already established as dominant Warriors before Kevin Durant's arrival there. This team is doing good without Kevin Durant much more especially since their bench players are also doing their best this playoffs. It's like there are lots of Splash Brothers there aside from the original duo of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson - which is now finding his shape too after the long rest because of injuries.

Anyways, this series is now over and we can now ask OP to lock this thread.

[gagux123]

In this final of the conference between Warriors vs Mavericks we can see, the GSW returned to the way it was before...

I confess that I was surprised with that score, I imagined in this conference finals would end 4x3 or 4x2  (Warriors).

With Thompson's return, this only intensified the GSW performance!
Let's see how GSW will play in this NBA Finals.

they are favorites for the title now, no matter Celtics or Heat reach the final
expected more from Dallas, but they are obviously too dependent on Doncic, as decade ago on Nowitzki, and it is really hard to get the title that way

yeah, this topic could be closed now, and after seventh match between Heat and Celtics to open new one for NBA finals
