I'm playing on Portland/GSW OVER the total. After a relatively slow start, the offenses got rolling by the fourth quarter of Game 1. While it wasn't enough to send the final score over the total, I do expect that faster tempo and hot shooting to carry over into Game 2. The Blazers employ a type of defense that plays right into the Warriors' hands. They like to drop Kanter and their other bigs in pick-and-roll situations. That makes scoring in the paint more difficult but it also allows guys like Curry and Thompson a lot of open looks from beyond the arc. Needless to say, if you give those guys an open 3-pointer, they're going to make you pay. While Curry and co. should have another big game, Lillard and McCollum are likely going to shoot better than they did in the opener. The pair of Portland guards were a combined 11-of-31, for just 36 points. The Blazers have seen the OVER go 11-6 the past 2+ seasons, when off a loss by 20 or more points. With the OVER also 7-1 the past eight times that the champs were leading in a playoff series, expect plenty of points on Thursday.
