No reason to, they have a real shot still

They are probably still slight favorites to win the series

True. The Kings' claim to fame is the 2002 WCF.

Slight favorite? The Kings still have home court, and the Dubs are a bad YMCA Adult Rec league team on the road. I would guess the Kings are a rather healthy favorite right now.

Actually on FanDuel The Warriors are favored.

See post #665, Vegas doesn't believe in the Kings that much

Now that it's go time the Ws hopefully don't play crappy on the road. They didn't in either game 1 or 2, both close losses.

The sports books probably have the Warriors as the favorites now that the series is tied, but odds are not directly a prediction. It's more of a reflection of public confidence, and with the Warriors very likely having more fans and more fans who bet, it's not surprising that they are favored.

I should have checked the books, I guess. I suppose I also should have used more precise language.

if I were a betting man, I would certainly put money down on the Kings if they are, in fact, the betting dogs. Imho, in reality (if not by the books), the kings are the favorites for the reasons I stated earlier. This series has not changed my opinion on that. And I am ROOTING for the Dubs. I just don’t see them as the favorites here.

Yeah, I get it. Until they win a road playoff game, it's hard to be too confident. The sports books apparently need more people to bet on the Kings, so they're offering them up at good prices.

Dammit injuries suck. Especially this time of the season.

 

[CitySushi]

This absolutely sucks. Even as a Warrior fan, I hate to see this happen. Teams deserve to have their best ready and available. Puts a damper now on what has been a really great series. Both teams believe they should be up 3-1 right now. That's crazy to think about.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Kings unlucky, W’s lucky. Seems about right.

Sucks for the Kings they still had a chance in this series

 

[CitySushi]

Some hope....I think if its at all possible for him to play, he does.

 

[msgkings322]

Can any series (that we care about) be free of injuries? I guess Cavs Knicks?

Agreed, and he's not a lefty. Won't help him of course but I can't see him not playing at all.

He is a lefty.

 

[msgkings322]

He is a lefty.

Oops. Still, the very tip of the finger might not be a problem, he'll obviously see how he feels in practice, if his shot looks ok he'll play
