That's what the Warriors do as well, I must say that the Warriors have faced a tough challenger that has a chance to win the NBA Finals, in fact, a bigger chance than them based on the current betting odds.

Warriors have to change the complexion of the series, if they'll win game 2, they'll probably be still the favorites in the betting sites to win the NBA Finals.

This is the first time I see the Warriors are an underdog in the NBA Finals (after game 1 loss of course).

In the recent win of the Celtics, the odds might shift a little, but many are still in favor of the Warriors, and in-game two I believe that they really need to cover that spread and they need to up their Defense Andrew Wiggins needs to focus on defense more than his offense because the Boston Celtics is pretty much serious about this finals,


Just like what you said it is really unexpected for the Boston Celtics to win game 1 at Golden State home court because this team never losses on their home advantage, but the upset has done,  I think that the Warriors will need to stop keeping relying on Stephen Curry and Stephen Curry can not win the game on his own, The Golden State Warriors will need to up their defense they are lacking in game 1 I haven't seen them played this bad, but maybe the Celtics defense has something to do with it, 

In my opinion, they will not focus on Al Horford more, because there is Derrick White and Jaylen Brown that also make adjustments in the 4th quarter, and don't forget Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smarts that could also do great feats just like that, anyway I really think that they will play the game normally because they are at the advantage  41-48 mins or so on the game the only adjustments that the Celtics get was the 4th Quarter, I think they will continue their game but become more dominant with the scores, but as we can see the Stephen Curry was the only Warriors to fired up on that game Andrew Wiggins, Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole, or even Draymond Green doesn't have exploded on the get that night, and for me, that 4th quarter adjustment of the Celtics will not be forever let's say they are lucky or they got carried away on the heat of the moment, we don't usually see those players throw three's very consistent in their pass games, I got my high stakes that the Warriors will win the Finals,

When we look at the previous games of the Warriors we could see that they can or they will bounce back from an upset or when pressured,

This is just a reference to the Warrior's recent games that they can come back from a loss, and I know Warriors players are different back then and now, but Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green are still there back then I think as a "fan" I really just want to have faith on them.

Just a fraction though, and what I meant that they are still the favorite to win game 2 despite that lost. So yes, as they are the favored, they will have to win it this time.

The Warriors can't go and dominate the first 40 minutes of the game, all eyes will be in the 4th quarter again in this game 2 specially if the Celtics was able to keep up with them. They will have to figure out something to stop them from getting those three's. I don't think they will have to push the panic button though, they will just have to play defense the whole 48 minutes. But we have to admit that the Celtics flipped the numbers of the road team winning game 1 in NBA finals.

I think the -4.5 is still a good odds for the Warriors and they can still cover for it in game 2. Unless it's going to be another disaster for them if the Celtics have a good shooting night again. But for sure Warriors are going to cover that and won't allow it to happen again.

So I would agree that the Warriors are going to comeback strong in game 2 and going to bounce back after that embarrassing lost.

Tomorrow will be the deciding game if the Celtics just get lucky or if they can get another win against the Warriors on the home court now this is my pick and what I think may happen with the game 2 of the NBA finals, my pick will be highlighted in green,

Golden State Warriors VS Boston Celtics (Celtics Lead 0 - 1)

Stake odds for this game are 1.54 for the Warriors while 2.55 for the Celtics, and right now the injury update for these two teams are still the same, Gary Payton II, Otto Porter Jr., and Andre Iguodala are questionable if they can play for the Warriors, while Robert Williams III is questionable for the Celtics, that game 1 win for the Celtics was really an upset for the Warriors and it surely surprises Stephen Curry sitting on the bench because they are really dominating the game, right now and the Celtics just rob it on 4th quarter, I really think that Stephen Curry will sure fire up again on game 2, while Klay Thompson will be upset on him just made 15 points on game 1 I would love to see him fire-up while Jordan Poole is not splashing enough aswell, and Wiggins just made too many errors on game 1 I think this is the things the Golden State Warriors needs to solidify on game 2 if they want to win, and not underestimating the Boston Celtics, because the Celtics surely has good mentality when it comes on playing basketball, but for me this will be a game for the Warriors, but like what I have shown from the past games of the Warriors I think Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green would fuel them to be even more on game 2,

Seems like the figures won't do much because they are now against the Boston Celtics who have successfully defeated the defending champion and other heavy teams in the playoffs. Now that they're back strong and healthy again, I reckon they could do more than what they showed in the 4th quarter.

I'm also a Warriors fan but I cannot just deny the talents of these Celtics. It's true, the Warriors still have a chance to bounce back and stats says that they will always bounce back after a lose. I really hope that will be the case later because the Warriors cannot afford to lose two home games as they will play at the road for the next two games. We'll see later how would they adjust against the Celtics.

Yes, the one who adjust the most will have the most chances to win this series. I hope that the key players of the both teams will sustain their health until the Finals are over because being undermanned with just a single game will really put any of these team at the disadvantage.

The Boston Celtics have sustained from being dominated for three consecutive quarters and they kept the lead close at all cost so that they could take the lead if ever the Warriors lower their guard for just a moment and that's what they did. They used the remaining time to cover the gap and managed to clutch by shooting outside the paint.

∆ S. Curry 4+ assists S. Curry 3+ rebounds S. Curry 1+ steal @1.83 ∆  won

∆ D. Green 4+ assists D. Green 6+ rebounds D. Green 1+ steal @1.80 ∆  X

I have two props on the day, one is on Curry and one on Draymond Green that are actually quite similar. I'm staying away from Curry's 3s and total points, no way the Celtics play him that poorly again, allowing him a ton of uncontested looks early. I anticipate a lot of pressure and blitzes on screens and pnrs, else Celtics are inviting trouble. It is worth noting that Curry has been active in the passing lanes, with back-to-back games with at least three steals and 16/L17 with 3+ rebounds.

Green should be the last person on Golden State's roster to get 10+ shots in a game, it's a recipe for disaster and exactly what the Celtics wanted, to leave him open and bait him to shoot bricks. His strengths are and always have been, playing defense, rebounding, and finding open teammates...not jacking up 3s.

Debating whether to take the -4.5 or to hit the money line.  Don't know if the 4.5 points is worth the risk I was leaning on the money kine as well.  Can't see golden state losing 2 at home to start the finals.  Might hit the over on this one too.  Might get fast.

I also took the Warriors to win @1.52 and planning to sprinkle some on the spread during live betting. I'm hoping for the Warriors to make some improvements and have a solution to stop the Celtics from scoring too many points in a single quarter. On the other side, the Celtics still have the potential to win the second game but looking at the bigger picture they already made enough damage and just need to hold at home. Plus the promo on stake is too good to pass up, it already cashed last game so i'm expecting it'll cash again as the Warriors tend to have a strong 3rd quarter performance.
