NBA Finals 2022 - Warriors vs Celtics.

[wheelz1200]

So, guys, we are now in the most exciting part of the playoffs, it's NBA FINALS.

Per betting odds, the Warriors are the favorite to win.

Warriors 1.65
Boston 2.26

Also, the Warriors have the home-court advantage in this series.

So let's discuss guys, what team do you think will win and why?

Got golden state taking this in 6.  They are really tough on theor home court and they have some crazy record of winning at least one away game in a playoff series.  Think this will be no different and they hold home court and take one or 2 in Boston.

Also, the Warriors have the home-court advantage in this series.

If I remember correctly, golden state warriors win games by a larger points spread on the road than they do with games played at home.

There could be more distractions in warrior home games which leads to reduced performance. They have their families and friends hitting them up for free tickets to games. More pressure with more people they know coming to watch the game live.

Home court may not be an advantage for them. In this case the warriors having home court could give the celtics better odds of winning.

I wish the celtics would win!! But unfortunately I believe the Warriors will have a better chance in these finals. Game 7 will be at home and the team is having excellent chemistry and most of the reserve players are playing well! Mainly the star players (Thompson and Curry)

[doomloop]

Lets discuss game 1.

Current point spread now is -3.5 for the Warriors, they are playing at home and have never lost a single game. I think it's an easy call, even if they are the public play, I still think they'll win this game.

Also, the total is only 211, over is easy here, hopefully not a trap.

It should be an easy win by the goldenstate Warriors at home but Boston Celitcs have already won several times at away games in the playoff series so i wouldnt be surprised much if they won again.

This is game 1, Celtics has not won a game 1 on the road IIRC, and the Warriors has never lost a game at home.
I will stick with what I believe, I understand that Celtics are a good team but I'd go with the trend until it gets broken.

Plus Celtics are 2 games more tired, and they will play so quickly whereas Warriors are resting. I have to say, it's clear to me that we are talking about Warriors here, they have been great before KD and did great this year again. I am quite happy to see them do great this year as well and I am not seeing them losing this series as a whole, let alone the first game.

However, if there is ANY team in the league right now that could stop them, it's the celtics. Who are the great players in Warriors? The shooters, who are the great defenders of Celtics? The guards. It's clear to me that Celtics will be defending like hell and will not make it easy.

Celtics are not gonna slow down the shooters of the Warriors, if they are good defensive, it's impossible they can stop everyone. They cannot even stop Butler which is the only pure shooter of the team, how much more the Warriors who are moving the ball very well and they have a lot of  shooters that could spread the floor.

Bookies would gave you a better odds for the Warriors to win in 4.

As this poster said, it's currently x12.

WARRIORS 4-0 @12 ( I liked it)

Better try to put your bet on sportsbook too, that if you are wanting to have a big return.

Got warriors for this because Celtics have 2 legit shooters while GSW have 4, also if we look at the system we can say that GSW have this and their players adopt it very well so I guess the same with other people telling that GSW will be the champion this season I will agree to them and also they already defeat Boston on regular season so most provably the pressure is less on their side for that.

It is undeniable that the Warriors have the advantages here even though the Celtics is a defensive team and good at transitioning into an offensive. The Warriors defense is their offense and their records shows that they are good at it especially when they are playing at their homecourt and also some of their players will be back again in the Finals like Igoudala, Porter Jr., and Payton II.

[dothebeats]

I am more inclined to believe that this is a Warriors win even though the Celtics can still pose a major threat against the hottest team in the league right now. Teamwork-wise and strategy-wise, the Warriors are way ahead of the Celtics, plus the fact that they are well-rested against a team that struggled to get past Heat says a lot about their possible performance on the first few games of the series. GSW will certainly have an early lead against the Celtics due to them being well-rested and all, but if the Warriors can drag it til they are crowned the champions remain a big question.

And experience-wise.  That may be the dagger that will end this series when we saw how far the difference when it comes to experience at time when they need to stay calm and making decisions in the nick of time. We witnessed how far it is against the Mavericks, even when they are up by 20+ the Warriors could still run back and win the game.
So yes, we may see game 1 and 2 all for the Warriors and Game 3 will be the crucial part to see if the Celtics really have a winning chance.

[Cling18]

I could say that the old Warriors are back because based on their gameplays they showed teamwork and performed their best to reach the finals. Celtics are also undeniably eager to win and they will surely make it challenging for the Warriors to win but I could feel the urge and thirst of the Warriors to win this time. My bet is for warriors but whoever wins, I'm sure that this finals will be too exciting for everyone.

[Harkorede]

I voted for the Warriors in the poll, they are favorites according to the bookies and it's understandable why they are. They've got almost all aspect of their roster in check and their starters all seem to be in better shape than the Celtics, the Celtics hold a 3-1 record over the Warriors in the regular season, but that's the same with almost every team the Warriors have played so far in the playoffs, it's a different ball game and most of the Warriors starter have been there before.

The Warriors odds are actually pretty decent knowing Boston Celtics really struggles at the Eastern Conference Finals.

The whole roster of Warriors is also performing and contributing well during the playoffs.

For now, I didn't place yet an outright series champion bet. Maybe I will go on a per-game basis here but that too I think is difficult. I like to bet on the Warriors winning the title but I also want to risk for Celtics. This was difficult for me. Still have a few days left to decide.

It's like I want to pick a bet after the first game. I want to first see the warm-up of how the two teams will move together on the court in their first encounter. The first win alone will not dictate who will be the champion of the Finals. So I pass first in game 1, in game 2 I will just start placing my bets. It will be a battle between the attacking team and the other team's defense. This series is really exciting, will the Warriors be able to maintain their Game 1 victory on their home court? According to what I see, they are GSW because 4 out of 7 predictions are in their favor. But let's not underestimate the ability of the Celtics, they also showed very well this season.

[Darker45]

I voted for the Warriors as well. They've been on this road before, so they're the more experienced team. If I'm not mistaken, the last time Boston reached the NBA finals was more than ten years ago, in 2010 when they faced the Lakers. So they could definitely handle the pressure better than the Celtics. Also, the team has a great chemistry. They could push toward winning even if their star's movements are limited. Boston, on the other hand, relies heavily on Tatum.

[rhomelmabini]

This is just more on opinion but I think the Celtics roster is an underdog team and not the heavy favorite to win the series and that's what I like, the underdogs that may thrive until they do their hardest. Play will tell on who will won this year but rooting for the Celtics new generation to win it and hoping to all players that no worst thing may happen.

[Reatim]

Votes shows how confident Warriors in this season but still Celtics is a Great team as they climb that high from bigger opponent and competition.

I still undecided because none of these 2 are my team , but I have funds reserve for this championship so lets see which one will i decided to Bet at least after 2 games.

exactly , but yet Celtics manage to become a champion , so with their luck and dedication ? there is a chance for them to win over GSW.

Also, the Warriors have the home-court advantage in this series.

If I remember correctly, golden state warriors win games by a larger points spread on the road than they do with games played at home.

I think it's the other way around. They are 12-4 record this post season, the best record so far. And wins an average of double digits at Chase center.

There could be more distractions in warrior home games which leads to reduced performance. They have their families and friends hitting them up for free tickets to games. More pressure with more people they know coming to watch the game live.

Home court may not be an advantage for them. In this case the warriors having home court could give the celtics better odds of winning.

They haven't lost at home this playoff.

Against the Nuggets, 4-1, they lost one at Nuggets homecourt, Memphis, 4-2, lost twice at Fedex home of the Grizzlies. 4-1 against the Mavs, lost once at AA arena.

So for them, home court matters. They feed on the energy of their fans.

That's one advantage of the Warriors as well that is why they are picked to be the champions this season. They are 9-0 on their home and they also have a good road record as well winning at least 1 game in each series. In this series, the Warriors have the homecourt advantage so if they will manage to defend their home and stay undefeated until the end they will end up winning it all.

On the other hand though, let's also take note that the Celtics are very impressive on the road with a record of 7-2 in this playoffs so there might be a chance that they might steal one on the road because of how impressive they are. 7-2 is no joke knowing that they are on the road. It means that they don't care about the audience and they will just play, play and play.

It's hard to know who will win in the first game but maybe we can just look on the numbers that has been posted on this site: LINK

Of all best-of-seven series in NBA playoff history through 2021, the winner of Game 1 went on to win the series 75.6% of the time (433-140).

Teams that were victorious in Game 1s on their home floor won their series 84.8% of the time (352-63). That higher number can be expected since the team with the better regular season record earns home-court advantage in a given series.

Teams that stole the first game of a series on the road won their series 51.3% of the time (81-77).

[ralle14]

I like both teams but if i'm going to put some units on an outright bet I have to pick the Warriors here since they simply handled every team they faced and the Celtics have been on and off even though they're impressive on the road their inconsistency at home might be their downfall one example is during that game 6 between their series with the Heat. It's a tough task to get one against the Warriors at home as we saw how the Warriors held on after going down by 20 vs the Mavs. I think it'll go to at least 6 games unless the Celtics pull off another surprise.
