They were 0-4 ats on game 3 s last year and Vs Cleveland,16 - 33 1q and lost 90 - 120 . They are 3-0 ats on game 3 s so far.
It's just natural for players to let up in their intensity after two blowout wins but i think they will be ready this year.
"I think that there's an understanding between our guys that we haven't
performed well in Game 3 [in the past]," Green said. "And that [was]
probably a sense of complacency.
"We put ourselves in a tremendous position, but they're down 2-0, coming
home, crowd's going to be loud, they're going to give everything they
have. And we definitely understand that and know that we got to come out
ready to fight and just be ready for whatever, because they're going to
throw everything."

Scal, great write ups! Just to further support your thesis. I read somewhere on another forum that the last 20 teams in the playoffs coming home down 0-2 have covered the 1h spread at a record of 19-1 (with the lone loss being the Spurs without Kawhi)! Unfortunately, I don't have a way to confirm or verify this, but it is impressive if true.

32-31The pick:Cavs +1 or Pick'Umover Warriors (First Quarter)This is the first time EVER I'm posting a first quarter line. I believe it is that strong. I posted this ahead of time because I want to put the bet in but this line actually isn't posted on 5 Dimes (anyone else have it)?The game line is +3 Cavs but the Half Time line is Cavs pick'em? Wow.Possible. But that is a VERY, VERY rare line. The HT line typically would be +2 Cavs in that spot. Anyhow I'm posting +1 or pick'um for the first quarter but it might be a pick'em when it comes out.Ultimately it shouldn't matter but I'd love to have a full point on a 1st Q line regardless. But let's move forward because I'm not playing for a single point here on the spread here (and never do).1. This is a TRADITIONAL CAPPING SPOT we all know and loveThe team down 2-0 in the series comes home and goes all out in the first quarter to try to put it away early. It's equivalent to a first round knock-out. It is heightened even more because with the Warriors, no lead is safe. So while you won't be knocking out the Evander Holyfield in his prime in the first quarter, you can certainly stun him.I can give you ATS numbers for the first quarter and the regular season but what does it matter? The reason you know, more than any other, this spot, that is, taking the 1st quarter line of the team coming home after going down 2-0, is because of tradition.Tranditionally, this is an OUTSTANDING bet. And the playoffs, more than any other time, make the first quarter line the strongest. Yes, these playoffs have been an aberration ATS (road dogs are 17-2 ATS as an example), but you get so much here. There should be a premium to pay on this home team. You should be laying a point or two. And a point or two TO the Warriors matters for a quarter line where a 3 at the buzzer can blow everything. But you are not. You are laying NOTHING. In fact you are getting +1 (I believe, but we'll see if that pans out).To not lay a single point in this spot with the Cavs makes this bet extremely valuable.
Yikes its now -.5 cavs 1st quarter. This is still a play scal?

Love the analysis as usual Scal! The only thing that worries me is that the Warriors are not looking to just win a championship but rather destroy the Cavs. Kerr's first road game in a while I think he has them ready!
Caves really tried to get G2 not sure if they will come out blazing!
