Celtics/Warriors Series

[stormtrooper8]

I REALLY like the under 1st game. Everybody seems to like G.S. for the series here. I'm rooting for Celtics but that won't stop me betting G.S. in certain spots.

It's not a bad idea to look at the under in this series a bit. Boston is perceived as being a defensive juggernaut, but Golden State is really almost as good as them -- their defense is under the radar for sure.

Add in Boston's sometimes disjointed offense and perception of Warriors as a run-and-gun team, I think there could be some lower scoring games for sure.

As far as first game, who knows (I mean we all never really know anything)? I could see both teams being rested and juiced -- especially Warriors. Maybe some shots are falling.

Looking at under in general for series not a bad idea though

Great 1st post Stormtrooper. Welcome to BMR

Glad to be here. Recently left from my last forum which is dying a slow, painful death.

This forum looks a lot healthier.

stormtrooper you clearly know what you're talking about.
What was your handle over there (the slow dying place)?

I think the more I look at this series, the more -150 feels like good value on Golden State. Boston has not faced a team that can move the ball like this -- they've only played star and iso-heavy offenses really. This is a new animal. Some other nugs:

-A lot of intangibles favor the Warriors : coaching, championship pedigree

-Boston sucks at closing games and quarters. Golden State is great by contrast.

-Warriors have won a road game in 26 consecutive series (NBA record). They are also undefeated at home this postseason. Seems unlikely they don't win least leasone in Boston, so Boston would have to win two in SF -- not impossible by any means, but just tough considering Warriors are 9-0 there in these playoffs


I dunno man. I really like the Warriors

Do you guys think the teams will feel each other out long enough game 1 to keep it under?
