NBA Finals 2022 - Warriors vs Celtics.

[joeperry]

Jordan Poole really explode in game 2, unfortunately I wasn't able to place bet in live as I woke up late and I really regret not placing a bet ahead. I was looking forward on the game 3 now I really think that GSW will not let them go again with another win and finish the series as early as possible, overall I am really confident that the GSW will going to win this 2022 NBA Finals.

Poole played a big part in that second half run.  More and more I'm thinking he might be the key to get the Warriors over the hump. Yeah steph, klay, etc will get theirs but when Poole turns it on it makes it too difficult for the other teams to cover their backcourt.  Fun game.  Hoping for a 7 game.

Right, Curry played minimal minutes, and it was Poole who take over the 4th quarter as well to not give the Boston a chance to make a comeback just like what they did in game 2.

Klay though has not been making points as he used to be, but at least they were able to cover game 2 with a huge win and that is enough for the Warriors to carry the momentum to the Boston Garden because they should have been up 2-1 by now.

Klay should be fine, he will have one great game in this series. His shooting is poor but Curry had an impressive night so it's just alright. Let Thompson continue to get his confidence back until he will become more consistent as his team needs him if this series will go longer.

Let's wait for game 6, he is known for game 6 Klay so maybe that's where he is going to produce some numbers. But he is a great player and anytime he will just explode even at the opponents home court. So maybe next game he will score 30+ or will have a good game to contribute as the second options behind Steph. As others said, Warriors have other options like Poole and Wiggins besides the two he should be ok in this series although those who bet on him to get the MVP in the finals, the chances are slim right now.

I was looking forward on the game 3 now I really think that GSW will not let them go again with another win and finish the series as early as possible, overall I am really confident that the GSW will going to win this 2022 NBA Finals.

No worries, plenty of games ahead of us.

I guess it's a wake up call for them what happen in game 1, they are that confident entering the 4th quarter but was surprised how the Celtics shots the ball very well as they didn't defend the perimeter. In game 2, was the same story, they take a huge lead, but this time, they know now to take care of it in the 4th and didn't allow the Celtics to close the game and give them another crack to win and upset them.

It's good that Warriors was able to depend the lead in game two and the result is really good.
All the players in court distribute a lot to help their ace players, Warriors is indeed playing as a team here. Now the pressure is with them since the next two games will be in the court advantage of Celtics, let's see if they can loose Celtics as well on their homecourt. Try to place a bet in game 3, you'll be more surprise to see its result and better to watch the game as well because its really entertaining. I'll bet for Warriors in game 3, they still have the advantage here.

A good adjustment that both players and the coach have done today, they really paly tough defense making it harder for Boston's core players to score, Though both Brown and Tatum have decent productions but the help from the other key players are not enough
to win the game, Green, Wiggins, Klay, Looney and GP2 all are willing to put their bodies close to whoever assignment that they have.

Steph and Poole lead the Warriors for their offense, but it's kudos to their defense, that's really something that fans will love.

Seeing all the players are rotating to help one another, hope they will bring that mentality inside the Boston garden.

There's no doubt about the performance of Warriors in game 2, the real challenge to them is when they play in the homecourt of Celtics, hopefully they are still on a good condition so they can defeat Celtics to take the lead in the series. Many predicts that this is going to be a long series, game 7 to be exact, there's a high chance for this knowing both teams are doing good and no one is giving up here, I'll go to the opposite, Celtics will be in favor here in game 3.

Seeing all the players are rotating to help one another, hope they will bring that mentality inside the Boston garden.

Their defense will always be there and the Celtics will not be able to limit Curry as they were not able to do it against Butler in the ECF. It's a big challenge for the Celtics because if Curry will have a good shooting night, that will bring energy to the team and they will gain confidence, that's why they are very scary as an opponent.

I knew I should have put some money on this game. There was just no way that the Golden State Warriors were going to lose two straight championship games at home in a row. Though one concerning part is that Klay Thompson still doesn’t look like the Klay of old outside of a couple games here and there. He’s really going to have to pick his play up if they want to win another championship!

You should have bet mate, because you're right and the other bettors (including me) are also siding the Warriors in the Game 2. You said it already, there's exactly no way that the Warriors would lose two straight games especially when they are at home and that's exactly what happened earlier. They gave attention to Smart and Horford that's why these guys haven't scored well and in-fact they just scored 2 points each.

I noticed that too, Klay Thompson was not in his usual self. I don't know what happened to him because the other guys in the Warriors have tried to cheer him up and gave a chance to shoot some ball but he just can't shoot it. Two games straight with poor performance, I hope he can find his rhythm soon because the team badly needs his help.

So far during the playoffs, Celtics defense was the decider for them, they played amazing defense one game, horrible defense another game for example and that decided their wins and losses. This time around, it is the opposite where the defense of Warriors make the decision.

You could end up with Warriors playing great defense to keep Celtics at 88, or you could have Warriors that play terrible defense and let Celtics score 120. We do not know what we are going to see rest of the series, will it be a warriors that play amazing defense, or will it be warriors that play horrible defense. Based on that, we are going to see the result of the finals.

I've been talking with my coworkers about the NBA Finals, and pretty much everyone has said that the Warriors can turn the games and will win this finals.
Does anyone else believe that the Warriors can go 4-1 or even 4-2 and become NBA champions again?

Or is there still any hope for Celtics!!? What is your opinion on this, guys!?

No one knows. Until we didn't see the final result, the Boston Celtics always have the chance.

4-1 or 4-2 is the best logical guess that everyone is mentioning knowing how large the gap is between the Celtics and Warriors in terms of what they showed during the playoffs. It's understandable though but in the Finals, the ball is round.

Hard to speculate honestly especially betting on a per-game basis. I suggest just going with the flow.

Recent article I read on the current odds - “ You could have had Golden State at +140 heading into Game 2 after they dropped the opening game of the series at home.

Golden State had a better field-goal percentage, three-point percentage, offensive rating, assist percentage, rebound percentage and pace than Boston through three rounds of the playoffs and was rightfully favored.

But now, after winning Game 2 to even the series, the Warriors’ NBA championship odds have dipped back down to -110.

Through two games, the Warriors have the better offensive rating, defensive rating, rebound percentage and three-point percentage.

Although the series is shifting to Boston, we still like Golden State’s chances but don’t love the number”. https://www.oddsshark.com/nba/championship-odds

With them heading back to Boston tied up there is definitely hope for the Celtics.  It's possible they could win the next game at home and start putting real pressure on the Warriors.  Draymond Green already seems to be having some issues...  The next game will be a big one to watch.  If the Warriors steal it in Boston then it puts all the pressure on Game 4.  That's early in the series to start having your back against the wall.

Defense is the biggest difference of this game. GSW is connected in series. The Celtics need to figure out how to attack as a team, not just a set of individual contributions. The Celtics need to step up game building. It looks like the Celtics got a lucky win in the first game as GSW was in decline in the 4th quarter. With this game, the Celtics need to think about some things in the series because they will miss the series.

There are still 5 games left and you can still place a bet ahead no worries. I'm also thinking of putting a bet on Game 3. I believe that the Warriors can win again in Game 3. Their adjustments after their lose in Game 1 will help them win in the road against the Celtics who isn't playing good on their home TBH. The Celtics are better in the road than in their home.

They need to find a way to let Tatum be more efficient.
He is the Eastern Conference MVP and he played awful in his last 2 games. Some might say that he had 13 assists in Game 1 but he is a shooter and he shot terrible in the last 2 games. If he can't be as efficient as he is in their past series this playoffs then at least somebody might step up as another scorer and just let Tatum be the initiator.

In Game 1, I believe that the Warriors just ran out of gas in the final minutes and the Celtics are pouring three everywhere and they got 8/12 or 9/12 3pt FG in the 4th quarter.

I guess Draymond is that competitive and will want to have a match up against the small and even the bigs of the Celtics. So I'm not seeing any issues with them, on the contrary, he shows some good stops against Smart and love that match up.

The pressure should be on the Celtics side, they are at home but they are facing a good team in the Finals and they just lost big in game 2. And Warriors wants to take this one and bring back the favor on them, stealing a game in home court.

They didn't lose, they got blown out. The 3rd quarter was brutal for Boston getting outscored 35-14. The warriors showed no mercy. I'm hoping for game 3 to be the same way.

Right, they really showed the Celtics what they are capable of in the 3rd and 4th quarter. And even if they are in the big lead, the Warriors continue to score and lead by double digits.

But in game 3, it will be in Boston Garden, so it's hard to see them going the same unless Steph, Klay and Poole combined for a massive offense that will sink the Celtics. But this might be a close game.

Of course, they need to play better, especially Thompson, he needs to step up and be more accurate on his 3 point shooting. Curry cannot be great all game, he will also struggle and that's why he needs his splash brother to also contribute like the way he used to when they were winning championships after championships.
