[....]but I think it will be easier for the Celtics to win this time because I'm sure Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla will make some adjustments.
Easier huh? Are you willing to bet on them with -handicap?
I think this is going to be another close game with less than 10-point gap but I don't know who will come out as the winner. I'm still betting on the Pacers +10.5 since they are the underdogs just like in game 1. It just makes more sense to pick that with odds @1.7
And it's really hard to predict this game. Yes, it was very close in Game 1 and it can go either way. Pacers had a great chance though, they blew it away by allowing Brown to have that good shot at the corner.
People are talking about adjustments here in the part of Celtics. But that's how they play, high scoring game and not concern about playing defense.
And money are pouring on the Celtics, but I will change my betting here with a Under 58.5, 1st Quarter - Total.
Good bet on this one mate, the first quarter score was just 52 points. Pacers though in the second quarter is still scoreless with still 6:45. So the Celtics made the critical adjustment and make it hard for the Pacers to score unlike in the first game. And if I'm not mistaken, Wolves did a great defensive job on the Nuggets and allowing them to score just 9 points in a quarter, not sure what game it is. Perhaps the Pacers can tie or even score less if their shooting continues to go down and Celtics putting a clinical defense on them. You can see the frustrations of Haliburton already after the Pacers calling a timeout. But still very early, this is just the second quarter so let's see how the game will pan out. We wanted a close game and not one team leading huge specially in a conference finals so that it's going to be worth to watch this games.
