Why are Warriors +260 to Win Series with it Tied 1-1?

[Speedy88]

Wow, really surprised to see Warriors at +260 to win the series right now. It's basically a best of 5 series with the Warriors having homecourt advantage. Are books giving them no chance? My guess is after the Warriors hung close in game 1 and blew out Denver in game 2, that people are eating up Warriors +260. I don't see why not.

I'm thinking of throwing something on GS to win the series at +260, but based on this line, my guess is Nuggs likely steal either game 3 or game 4 in GS.

Not game 3 please, cause i bet GSW

The series price is just made to correspond to the prices on the different games. All games at Oracle are considered more or less 50/50s to the books, so according to them there is very little chance Golden State wins all 3. And Denver will be a huge fave in the home games.

However I disagree with the books and have from the get go of the series. Warriors take this IMO. You need a go-to guy on the road in the playoffs, especially in an arena like Oracle.

wasn't it +400 something before the series started?

wasn't it +400 something before the series started?

yes and that didn't even factor in david lee's injury.

at first it surprised me but when I thought about it it's normal. if the warriors are going to be a short fave or short dog every home game the price is dead on.

I was just surprised when I saw it at +260. Was thinking it would be around +150.

GSW has no chance in this series IMO.
They have to shoot a high percentage to even hang with Denver, definitely can't count on that.
Wouldn't surprise me if they lose the rest of the games.
