2024 NBA Season

[harizen]

Im seeing a sweep series of San Antonio Spurs against their recent playoff match with the Memphis Grizzlies.

Kawhi Leonard is really a beast after their recent win.

Who on the Grizzlies can stop Leonard? Four Grizzlies have guarded him on at least five of his plays this series; Vince Carter, James Ennis, Marc Gasol and Wayne Selden. Leonard is a combined 17-of-19 against them, with 21 of his 28 free throw attempts resulting from matchups against that quarter.

Also Leonard went 19 of 19 from the free throw line in Game 2, the first player with that many makes and no misses since my idol Dirk Nowitzki’s 24 of 24 game in 2011.

Most likely the Spurs owned the Grizz, 2011 was the only playoff time when they upset the Spurs if I remember it right, but that was along time ago when they are still younger. Now, there are great additions to the spurs and their defense are really good but I am not impress with the offense honestly, Leonard is good but I don't know how they will manage to guard the shooters of the warriors if they will face each other.

Yes that was on 2010-2011 Season and they achieved a surprise upset there coming from the 8th seed bringing down the top 1 in the West.

About the Warriors concern, that should be on their preparations now. I know they have some pointers now after their loss with the GSW in the last phase of the season.

Cleveland Cavaliers 117 - 111 Indiana Pacers
San Antonio Spurs 96 - 82 Memphis Grizzlies

Toronto Raptors 00:00 Milwaukee Bucks
Boston Celtics 01:00 Chicago Bulls
L.A. Clippers 03:30 Utah Jazz

As expected San Antonio and Cleveland are 2-0. Until now, San Antonio is the team that has won more easily matches.
San Antonio, however , the next round will be a strong opponent (Houston or Oklahoma).

Cleveland could instead have an easy match against Milwaukee who surprisingly won with a big lead(+14) against Toronto in the first match of the series.

Don't count the Raptors out just yet because they lost their first game. I don't think Lowry will repeat such poor statline and if they manage to tie the series then the Raptors would still be the favorites. Now I understand that this is a crucial game for the Bucks, getting that second away victory will put them in complete control of these series. I don't understand how the Raptors with the recent acquisition of Ibaka are playing at such low level.

As a Cleveland fan it would be great to face Delly and the Bucks though, we are tired of Toronto!

And yes, like I said in my previous post, we can't based the output on the game just in Game 1. Mistakes and errors are always discussed by every team after their games so I think Raptors will give Bucks a good game on Game 2.

Two things... Wins of all home times is a good multiple bet,that`s okay. I have one more opinion. Kyle Lowry 20.5 under @ 1.85

He played terrible last match and continue his tradition of bad play-off matches. take shoots over defense and was guarded good on attacking the racket. Personally,I have not seen nothing specially and think that same story will be tonight.  DeRozan is first player and first option and it will be tonight as well. He is in good form, unfortunately we can not say that for Lowry too. It`s worth to try.  Good luck

Toronto Raptors VS Milwaukee Bucks

A home court advantage for the Raptors and within the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter the fight was a close game. And with the long 2 pointer that Lowry did, they secured the fight for the last seconds. Too bad that Milwaukee Bucks though it's a tied standing for them now 1-1.

There is no hope for the Boston Celtics, they lose 2 games in a row and at home, they are the number 1 in the east and it should be a big upset if they will even be sweep by the bulls. I will say now, this  team is a fraud, they cannot even beat the inconsistent Bulls, I'm tired of watching them, I'm discourage actually, not a fan anymore.

[elite3000]

Bulls are a good team, they defeated Spurs, Cavaliers, Golden State, Boston, everyone, so their upset is not really a surprise, but they struggle against lower teams

If they were in the playoffs last year they would cause some mayhem

That's why they easily beat the Boston Celtics, that was a great value when betting at the Bulls Moneyline, I think the odds was 3.00 or more.
Game 3 and 4 will be at Bulls home, I hope they will end this series in 4 games so they will have a good time to prepare for their next rival.
All the starters of the Bulls contributed with double digits points plus they dominated the rebounding section, boston players are just too small for the bulls.

raptor gonna win this round for sure maybe 3win for raptors

Can we say that they are choking this playoffs?

And now they are more pressure to win in Chicago's home court. Can they overcome a 2 game deficit? Of course, can they do it, remains to be seen. I think the more experienced Bulls are proving what's their worth in this kind of games specially D'Wade. If my memory serves me right, during the 1998-1999 playoffs, New York Knicks (8th seed) defeated the no. 1 seed then, the Miami Heat. Then they went up to the Finals but was defeated by the eventual champion San Antonio Spurs.

History was already made by Russell Westbrook. Maybe Chicago will add up another history if they go and win the NBA trophy this year. Just sayin.

Utah Jazz Vs Los Angeles Clippers is done, the LAC won this match. I'm loving to see the tandem / duo of Paul and Jordan. With the first quarter of the game they did played well and good thing that they ended up winning. More to see for their next game, I hope their momentum isn't going to be gone for the next fight.

Why not, the Bulls has a good squad and they can compete even the Cleveland cavaliers. Rondo and Wade will help Butler to win a Title.
Such a good match up to see if bulls and Cavaliers will face, it is going to be Butler/Wade vs Lebron and Rondo vs Irving, I guess the bulls
have the size here.

[Omikifuse]

Odds for the Bulls being eastern conference winners are close to 11x and they being champions are 70x, surely worth the try

.
I think that too Bulls will overcome Cleveland base on their last four games of Cleveland vs Bulls. The result is they are dominating Cleveland but let`s see on playoffs everything is possible. The question is will Cleveland defeat bulls after the four straight loses?. Boston Celtics are still there the number 1 in Eastern Conference I think they can come back even Isaiah Tomas has a problem with her sister’s death. Isaiah Thomas is giving his all to win the game.

Boston blatantly likely to be eliminated after winning their conference! only three teams in history have overturned a 0-2 (after playing the first two games at home)

The Bulls simply got the better of the Celtics in the first two games, partly due to the not so brilliant performance of Isaiah Thomas because her sister just passed away. It would be very hard for a player to really focus in that kind of a situation. Meanwhile, the Bulls seem to have several players ready to step up when the need arises, case in point Bobby Portis in Game 1 and Paul Zipser in Game Two. I still expect the Celtics to rally from this deficit eventhough Games 3 and 4 are going to be played in Chicago.

loses my parlay because they lose today i thought they will try winning game two since they are playing inside their home crowd but i mistakenly assess they are just number 1 in the east division but not consistent enough to play against the bulls who also struggling but shit happens so better
to check some good games again.

i think the boston needs some unlikely hero for isaiah. they cant just rely on him anymore because of his emotional state. but i doubt they would be swept in the series. it would be another 1st seed upset if this will continue. good luck for boston. we cant blame this unnatural occurencies during this events.

Boston is officially experiencing Disappointment, but still my favorite shows are ridiculous to me. Even a period could not close ahead at home. See the first-in-first-out peg in the conference. The question is, how did the Eastern Conference finish first?

I feel bad for the New York Knicks having the 7th pick due to the tie breaker, But at the same time I am happy that the Timberwolves pick up the 6th pick. Bad for the New York Knicks because they have kept there losing record early on while being defeated by the Minnesota Timberwolves via lottery. I guess it is one of the karmas you get from tanking. It is pretty obvious that they are tanking I mean Kristaps, Carmelo, and D Rose on a team that only won 31 games out of 82 it is pretty obvious they want to stack up in this draft pool.

I'm very disappointed with the NY Knicks, I thought they are a stronger team this season but still the same team or even worts than the last season. This team is full of stars and yet they cannot be consistent, they are only good in the start when they started to make a run but in the end, their true talents were expose. I think the Knicks needs rebuilding now, when MELO is still their, no chance for them to be in the playoffs again.
