My biggest problem on this here Saturday night is I don't know who to bet on to win this game.

I won a nice chunk in that Denver/LAC game so maybe I'll sit this one out.

This will be known as the Buddy Hield Game. He’ll hit 3-4 three pointers in the 4Q to lead the Warriors to a W.

That missed Quinten Post sums up this game for the Warriors.

The other guys have to knock down their shots.

Always bet when up, no pressure, but make sure you already withdraw half of whatever you won in that Denver game.

The entire league just boils down to ISO and match-up hunting, except for one team. Nobody can defend Warriors’ screenplay. The “screens” and split actions makes it so hard to defend

Ya would be absolutely exhaustion to defend in a 7 game series. Sounds like a legit nightmare.


Teams have known how to defend warriors system since 2016 tho, is good but is not gamebreaking ot close to it

Kuminga doesn’t have the prerequisite basketball IQ to be a Warrior.

Probably shots.

I feel comfortable betting against anyone. I would even go as far as saying the larger than life reputations like Currys makes his opponent a better bet. I'll usually wait for one team to take a 10+ point lead and bet on the other team since the odds are juicier, but that doesn't appear to be happening in this one. I guess I'll enjoy it old school style, with no money involved lol.

Curry has to play all 12. With the way this game has gone a 7-8 point lead for Houston would be unsurmountable.

The difference between Hield and Kuminga is that while both make bad reads, Hield at least reacts, he just picks the wrong option, whereas Kuminga hesitates, stays still, and overthinks the play.
