2024 NBA Season

[Reid]

Bucks lost today. 

Hands Down for now, LoL. but it's quite close I think.
Just a little more for Bucks, that's really for sure.

Need 4 straight wins for them. Still holding on.

I can see the eagerness of Giannis. I agree, just a little more, and hoping that the hope that we're seeing can be extended up to game 7. If not, Heat also deserves to move forward.

It's rare to see coming back from 3-0. Maybe Giannis could accomplish it. 
I hope he does.
History and a chance for championship. Also, proving that he is one of the best player in the league.
I am still going to bet for the Bucks at Game 4. I don't know why but maybe a hunch.

Lakers seems to be losing their first games. (Blazers) Is this some kind of strategy or just testing their opponent first before they come up with a good play?

I was hoping that They'll be able to win the game today, but to my surprise Heat outscored them in the last quarter,.
Very difficult now but there's still game if they win it the chance still alive.

Not sure but seems to be something like that, still long series to come many things can happen along the way.

Where are the fans of Ja Morant? got some pretty good news!

Zion literally played in 24 games only for the whole season and even though it was just a short season Ja played in almost every game I think while Zion only had 1/3 amount of games, not like Zion blew the competition away, Ja was a lot more important to Grizz than Zion was ever to Pelicans. I can't believe how much hyped this kid is, even without properly playing he got a rookie of the year vote.

I couldn't agree more. But hey, even though he barely played on his own team still that guy is something (I meant for positivity here)? He really just had this too much hype around him. I'm beginning to wonder, what if he completed the regular season averaging the same or close to Ja's performance? Would the outcome still be the same? Would Ja still get such recognition?

If this were true, well it is kind of odd, and I don't like it as a fan. I won't even bet just to test something out as every game now and then is very crucial. They had to pull this series seriously off or else their chances on getting that ring would going to be very slim.

[Yogee]

Too bad the Heat wasn't even in the list of choices. They've been doing well even before the corona virus halted the league temporarily. It's a balanced team and they're playing decent bball. As Jimmy Buckets said, he doesn't have to be a 40-point player because of the guys around him are reliable too.

That post about Giannis needing a Jordan to win a ring appears to be true now. Looking forward to next season and if he doesn't leave the franchise, Bucks management should get him real point guard/s so he doesn't have to dribble a lot. Just focus on dominating the paint. Kahwi seems to be doing a better job at scoring inside than him lol.

We can really see Bucks being pushed really hard but lets hope for more games between them. Although Playoff Jimmy is really a beast and betting on him was a good idea although it was risky. Giannis not getting so much help but we can't blame the team for that.

Lakers losing Game 1 was not that shocking, it already happened in the season in which Rockets proving themselves worthy of the small-man lineups. Westbrook needs to stop taking charges, it just looks bad (Its still a play though). 

[Arcas]

It seems the bucks wasn't lucky in their last game do you think guys they still have a chance to come back up to 3-4? I thought Giannis would be able to carry the team up to finals

We can't say that there's no possibility but the chances are really really low right now but there's still round for them to catch up we will see what will the Bucks will do with the upcoming game.

But in that case he would loose a lot of money as he is eligible for supermax contract, and as we know only Bucks can offer him one. He will have to decide what's more important, money or titles.

I think he's up for a title rather than the money but I don't think he will leave his team, this is interesting let's see what will happen.

Bucks lost today. 

They have to win all of the remaining games for the series against the Miami Heat.

I knew it already that the Heat will be a good match-up for the Bucks since in their last 3 meetings in the Regular season, Heat won 2 of it but I didn't expect that this series will be a 3-0 in favor of the lower team.
I already said that Giannis has been exposed and the Heat has so many good defenders and they are a well-balanced team but I didn't expect that this will happen.

We know already that no team in NBA history won in playoffs with a 0-3 deficit. I'm not saying that the Bucks are eliminated from the playoffs already but this Game 3 is a big momentum shift. The chances of them winning are very low and maybe they are the first one to win in a 0-3 deficit. Kudos to the Heat team. The roster is well balanced and they have a player that can match against Giannis .

If you like to bet in this Game 4, maybe you can go to the Bucks with a higher risk though but higher odds .

As far as I know, no team has comeback from 0-3 deficit so it's going to be difficult task for the Bucks. They have been good in the first 3 quarters, but then collapses in the 4th. And it will be really a big upset obviously as the number 1 seed losing 0-4 in the first round, that will be humiliating, reigning MVP, ouch. They are really good in regular season, but always feel short in playoffs, something must be done.

Very rare but we'll see if there's still a chance.

Just to support Bucks, I'd like to see them win or lose at the end. No worries if they will not hold on for game 5 or the next games but I just wish them to win.

Honestly it is a great point to just gamble on Miami from now on. I know they might lose the next game, and who knows maybe one more game but martingale the hell out of it and you are going to make a profit.

I don't know which game will be their last victory but I know Miami is moving to next round and that means gamble as much as you want on the next game and by some miracle Bucks wins? Just double or even quadruple that bet on the next game, Bucks manages to snatch another? Go even higher from the second bet, do not be shy about it because it is 100% guaranteed that Bucks is not getting back from 3-0 to 3-4, that is not happening. Obviously coming from 3-1 down was a rare thing and happened very rarely, but at the same time 3-0 comeback has never happened ever as well.

That's always a great idea because Miami is only -1 so you'll still get a good odds, and if they lose in game 4, Miami will get a good value in game 5 as they might be an underdog again, and the fact that no team has even come back from 0-3 deficit, that's like an automatic win.

[mirakal]

Good luck cabalism13 , looks like you put your bet on the Bucks in this this game?

Another miss. Too bad, but I know they're gonna redeem themselves maybe anywhere on the next game,... maybe. 😅

Haha, still not losing hope mate?
Well, there's still game 4, who knows Bucks would make a history and come back to win the series. (-1% chance)

It was close until the 3rd quarter, they got massacred in the 4th. 

[goinmerry]

Watching Heat vs Bucks, I'm seeing the replay of how the Toronto Raptors checked every Gianni's movement in last year's playoff's meetup.

The problem is Gianni's teammates. They should realize how's the play is going to be for that kind of situation. They have been there numerous times. In that last game, 40 points of Miami over 13 by the Bucks in the 4th quarter is totally crazy. Where's Bucks the offense and defense? Where's the monster's performance during the season?

It's difficult to win 4 times in a row. It's exhausting and needs more dedication to compare to what they are showing now. Maybe they will win at least one but the chances that Miami Heat will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals is the closest thing to happen.

Feel sorry for the Bucks coach. I'm seeing a termination on the off-season.

This is the reason why we should really admire how Erik Spoelstra led the team. They are really great and they've been shutting down Bucks and Giannis himself with the scores he's giving. I don't understand but they have Kyle Korver, why do Giannis shoot at the arc? I think Heat might have a sweep again tomorrow if they keep on playing like this.

Very small chance or let us say that it's on the slimmest form.

But we will know it. Let's see if Giannis and the rest of the Bucks gang can make a comeback. That will be a great comeback if it ever happens.

Out of 139 teams that are down 0-3 in the whole NBA playoffs history, no one won in it. If this is a 3-1 series after the first 4 games then I can say that the Bucks have a higher chance of winning that where they are right now.

I don't want to say that the Bucks will make a history here but with how the Heat is playing right now, I don't think that there is a history that will happen. Giannis has been exposed and I've said it many times and the Bucks organization must reshuffle their roster already next free agency. They need younger players right now. They need another all star. Middleton isn't enough and they need one more or the worse, they will give up Giannis when he will become a free agent but I don't think that this will happen.

[Yogee]

Coming back from three games behind got even harder for the Bucks since Giannis is reportedly listed as questionable for Game 4 with sprained right ankle.

The Raptors and Celtics are even. Raps got a confidence boost from OG's heroics in Game 3 and was able to maintain their lead then close out the game in the 4th quarter. This is turning out to be another great series. Lowry hasn't played particularly well so far but I think Raps will still get this done in 7 games.

What you have said about the roster are all good points.

Their upcoming game is like already an accepted lose on their end. But just to cheer up and have some hope remaining being a fan. I know the reality yeah and it's near to impossible.

Let's hope that this game 4 would show a great performance though.

I haven't watch the entire game, and so am quite bothered to hear such news 'bout him knowing as well that they're on the brink of getting sweep by Miam Heat. And so I look around, and this news confirms my doubts about it. Oh boy  . This is going to be very tough for Milwaukee Bucks though, specially for Giannis himself, if he misses that game then lose, it would bug him a lot for sure.

The Raptors and Celtics are even. Raps got a confidence boost from OG's heroics in Game 3 and was able to maintain their lead then close out the game in the 4th quarter. This is turning out to be another great series. Lowry hasn't played particularly well so far but I think Raps will still get this done in 7 games.

I'm not yet certain with Raptors here as Celtics was indeed a tough team to beat. However, with no doubts, they are going to reach Game 7 here, since both of 'em are playin' pretty well.
