OK, so it is the first big match of the season I guess. Whom do you guys see winning this one? Both teams will be rested unlike last season big games which involved teams on back to back.

Preview of the finals maybe? This is quite the run the C's have been on - after they started 0-2 and there was a dark cloud about Hayward going down. Irving actually appears to be a likable guy - maybe it was the smart move after all getting out of LeBron's shadow. |

Been waiting to see the spread on this. I figure it will be Boston by 2 to 3. I think they'll win.

Irving actually appears to be a likable guy - maybe it was the smart move after all getting out of LeBron's shadow. In last season or 2 seasons before last whenever cavs were out of form I kept insisting they are a playoff team and come the playoffs, they will be too much for eastern conference teams. I am not sure this season for two reasons. 1. As you said Irving seems a pretty good guy and Cavs will miss him. 2 Boston are actually good. It may be that Cavs may improve a lot during playoffs but they still might fail against Boston because Boston's level has increased. I am not sure if Boston can match with GSW during the finals but it certainly seems that we are about to see preview of finals. And I believe Boston should get the job done at home at least in the regular season. So my prediction is that Celtics will win. |

What do you think when/if I.T. comes back - even if he's 3/4 of the player he was last year. None the less - a Cavs/Celts Eastern Conference Final sounds like a blast to me - all the drama, former relationships - etc. Must see TV if you're a hoops fan. Imagine the 'snarky' passive aggressive comments from LeBron at press conferences in regards to Kyrie - maybe Ainge and I.T. do a little verbal jabbing. Great stuff... |

Nice to have games this year without one or both teams dealing with back-to-backs.

Wonder how they get around that with the front office of the NBA sending in those '24 hour injuries' - Sixers still do it with Embiid at times - they just did it about a week or so ago against the Jazz and they they actually had a couple of days rest prior to the game. |

As a C's fan I'm a little concerned they're due for a bad game sooner or later after 13 straight wins. The C's always play GS tough, though. I don't want to make a prediction because I'd either be picking against my team or picking them and thus putting on the jinx. I'm just hoping for a good game.

I think Isaiah's return will make them offensively better but most of the Cavs problems seem to be coming from defensive end so I have mixed feeling on his return. But based on his performance last season I can only see them scoring more if he is back in the team. Right about leBron's passive aggressive nature.  Golden State favored by 6 and 7 on different sites! Well, I will take Celtics as outright winners. Well may be just 15$. But I would expect the line to change in favour of Boston. |

I will be on Boston's Moneyline. Was on Atlanta Moneyline in 2014-15 Season when GSW went to play in Atlanta. Was on Cavs spread last year. |

tnt game? who are the announcers? Can't tell bro as I am watching on bet365 in Australia. Amazing defense by Boston in last 5 minutes as they kept warriors without a field goal in last 5 minutes. Dubs led by as many as 17 but now the lead is cut to 5. Some awesome blocks though Celtics got away with one without getting foul call. |

I had Celtics moneyline and won $37.4 return on 11$ bet. I had Celtics spread and won $22.91 on that. I also have Celtics win in a multi bet along with Man city win (in EPL game later this week and Napoli win in Serie A game later) with odds of 6.4 Meanwhile rockets (90 points in first half) outscored GSW (88 points after end of 4 quarters) by 2 points in 24 minutes.  |
