A win is a win. The current line for game 3 is Utah +6. I'll probably be laying off that one. I'd be willing to grab it if it moved to 6.5 or 7.

I agree with that. I'm convinced that Utah hasn't come close to playing their best backetball in this series. They are commiting way more turnovers then they usually do. If those totals come down and they keep rebounding as they have, this is done in 5.

Nice hit last night. Deron came up big in the end. As to Fisher - wow, big shot. I didn't know his daughter had cancer. I hope Dee Brown is okay.

I see the line up to Utah +6.5 for game 3 at some books. There is really good value for Utah at this point. If it goes up to +7, that is just ridiculous. GS is out of it mentally after giving away game 2.

GS will pound Utah in game 3, did you watch the Dallas series? Last game against the Jazz was very much like game 5 against Dallas in that the Warriors simply blew the game.

Lol yes I did, and please don't compare the two series. They are like apples and oranges. Dallas is a completely different team, rarely tried to run, never got easy baskets, settled for jump shots, didn't have a huge decisive edge in rebounding (especially offensive), to name a few.

I don't have the numbers, but I know GS was outrebounded by 20 in game 1, and were -20 in rebounding by the half in game 2. That's game right there. The Warriors can live and die by the 3 all they want, but it's not going to win them a series vs Utah.

First 2 games went down to the wire (with exception to OT), and there isn't any reason game 3 shouldn't be the same.

GS wins game 3 probably by either close game or blowout, but +7 Utah is too many points to give GS. Everyone is still high on GS after they beat Dallas, but they are getting worn down - that much is clear after watching game 2.

the only thing clear after watching game 2 is that GS missed some untimely freethrows, Golden State will not be beaten at home in this series. Utah was very lucky to take the first two games.
