Western Conference Finals (Warriors vs Mavericks)

[Yaunfitda]

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.

The odds for Luka Doncic winning the NBA Finals MVP is now 21

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.

[Johnyz]

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.

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.

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.

^^ 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.

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.
