2024 NBA Season

[Janation]

Uhhh..Heat already won.

I am not judging where you are watching though but they already won. Miami Heat will be facing Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals.

How sure are you? The series of Boston vs Toronto is not over yet, Boston has to win the game tomorrow for them to advance in the Eastern Conference Finals. You are so advance mate, lol.

Oh yeah, I forgot to put something being sarcastic on that.

I will be putting my money into Boston Celtics so yeah, I would be really rooting for them to end the series tomorrow. But yeah, for sure Boston and Heat will be facing the Eastern Finals.

Same here, I'm betting against the depending champion, they are -3 now, I think that means people are betting on them to win.
I know Celtics is a tough team, if not because of the lucky shot of OG in game 3, the series was already over in game 5.

Boston vs Miami in the ECF, I think we have some good game here, both teams are playing with good teamwork and this will be a hell of a game to witness, that's for sure as long as no one gets injured especially the stars.

Also, Hayward will be coming back soon.

I hope that Giannis is going to leave the Bucks as the team is not improving and it hasn't become better during the last two seasons.

He can do that because he will be free agent soon, but the question is, can he do it when he will be getting a super max deal of contract next season? I mean, he doesn't have to, why not Bucks would bring someone to help Giannis and not making him leave, maybe changing the coach would help, that's one way because their style of play has been very predictable in the last 2 seasons.
-

Apparently, it seems Giannis doesn't like the idea, and maybe he won't ask for such condition.

Look at this recent news:

“It’s not happening. That’s not happening,”

“Some see a wall and go in [another direction]. I plow through it. We just have to get better as a team, individually and get right back at it next season.”

“If winning a championship was easy, everyone would have one,”  “We lost. Everyone saw that we lost. It’s disappointing, but what are we going to do? We’re going to keep working. I’ve got confidence in my teammates.”

Well they are good, but to be blunt, their game only gets worse every playoffs, obviously. However, I think they don't need to go such length, and I don't see any sense on trading Giannis just to be better as they can do it as a team. Maybe they should trade few other players who couldn't do the cut but not Giannis. They would lose big here, imo. Besides, which players who could replace him?

And anyway, if by chance, the odds on getting him transferred to the other teams became that almost not impossible, then which team he should move into?

[Reid]

Also, Hayward will be coming back soon.

Is he? Whoa! That's great news.
But I may bet for the underdog here.
Raptors loves being hammered hard and I think they will still fight back later.
Then the addition of pleasure to watch a Game 7 series once again.  

They are a good match and whoever wins this will have a difficult time facing Miami.
Does Iguodala have a lucky charm?

I am thinking that's just a false hope for the Bucks with Giannis statement and right now I don't think his teammates will make it for a ring.

And anyway, if by chance, the odds on getting him transferred to the other teams became that almost not impossible, then which team he should move into?

Some rumors are saying it was GSW, I mean it has chance but who knows if they get their hard cap that would mean the GSW will be losing some players because Bucks will never trade Giannis without a star they could get, that's my guess.

[wiss19]

This is a point where Bucks have to realize they either change direction or they just keep trying the same thing over and over again, this wasn't a normal year anyway and pandemic did caused a lot of difficulties, but I am sure if they try one more time and fail, they have to just start going another direction for sure, or they could do it right now.

What I mean by another direction is, either find a way to trick players joining Giannis, either with more money than they deserve and just have a huge luxury tax issue and a lot of players who are not superstars but could help him out a lot (think of Lakers roster without Lebron and AD) or they just have to start rebuilding and send Giannis and get a ton of picks and not so bad young players instead.

Latest news or update on Hayward.

Gordon Hayward is back in the bubble, but Boston Celtics aren’t sure when he will be out of quarantine

Injured Boston Celtics wing Gordon Hayward is back in the bubble after returning home briefly, and he should rejoin the team’s doctors and trainers for rehab soon.

Hayward is still in quarantine, however, as the NBA ensures he is free of COVID-19 and that he won’t compromise the Disney World bubble, so he won’t be on the sideline just yet.

“I don’t know when the quarantine period will end,” Brad Stevens said after Monday’s Game 5 victory. “I think they will determine it through a set of doctors and all that stuff, how long that is. But my understanding is that I know he’s back, and I haven’t seen him because he’s been in a room.”

Hayward sprained his right ankle in the first round against the Philadelphia 76ers. Imaging later showed that he suffered a Grade 3 sprain, which was projected to keep him out for 4-6 weeks.

There was no serious injury, so the moment his quarantine is over, he can start training again, if he will missed the ECF which is unlikely IMO, for sure he will get to the NBA finals if they beat the Heat.

The 6th match between Raptors and Celtics is really tight, they are even in the 3rd and this will be very tight till the end I hope. Would really like to see game 7 to be honest

After Clippers won the last one against Nuggets I'm pretty sure they will take tonights match much easier then it was u until now. Nuggets will struggle much more and I expect +15 win from Clippers tonight.

What a game in the rapters and celtics game 6, wow.  Now we get a game 7.  And as far as clips winning by +15 thats a huge spread, as of right now clips are up 9 in the third but I expect a run by the nuggets to make this closer in the 4th.  Hopefully the nugs can pull out a win to make it another good series

It can't get any tighter than a double OT. You got your wish since Raps won Game 6. Lowry finally showed up and with him knocking that last shot in an isolation play against Kemba should give him more confidence going into game 7.

By the looks of it, the Raptors have the momentum. Their championship experience may also contribute in winning game 7. I like this Celtics team too but there can be only one winner unfortunately.

Experienced vs aggressiveness of those your stars of Boston. This match up really bring the fans the series that they've love
to watch, both teams are bringing the best from one another.
Interesting to see who's going to stand up in the final match, it's between coaches and strategy, Plus the dedications of each
individual players who'll play, each contributions matters.

There was no serious injury, so the moment his quarantine is over, he can start training again, if he will missed the ECF which is unlikely IMO, for sure he will get to the NBA finals if they beat the Heat.

That could be in a short time before he totally gets backnin the game, but I think it would be best for him to rest for a while, the team can get along with this season IMO even though they're having a hard as the other teams.

It is indeed tight when both teams made the same amount of field goals(25/44) and three pointers(19) the only difference was the free throws where the Raptors made 18/25 while the Celtics only had 15/18.

Celtics had some close losses against the Raptors but I think they still have the advantage going in to game 7.

Also for those who plan on betting or looking for some information for game 7 there's a current trend on the total going under most of the time.

[Captain Corporate]

 It was such a great game, Raptors are really trying to keep it like a team who really wants to go back to finals, they were literally just one shot away from being 3-0 down and they came back from that to become a 3-3 series, they are really pulling off %100 hard work to make it to finals again, working ever single possesion to beat celtics, it was one of the greatest games I saw this playoffs.

 Obviously it is not really a good indicator that they will do anything afterwards, maybe they will get the last game, maybe they won't, maybe they will go to conference finals and then to finals, maybe they won't so I can't really say anything from one game but it was obvious that they really bring everything they have into the game, that is why I love playoffs, teams play with %100 and you see them at full capacity.

yeah, Toronto made a good comeback, and this match was great from both sides, with overtimes and both teams playing on their maximum

Miami will be blown-out in the finals, from both of these teams, either one which reach to the final, but either one from LA duo in the big final will be a much trouble for Toronto or Boston

I hate to say this but having Hayward in the lineup doesn't affect that much on the team or maybe I'm not watching Celtics Games in the regular season that is why I said this .
I put my bet on the Raptors yesterday and didn't felt any regret on it because they are the defending champs and they will not allow to lose on this Game. It would be better if they will lose on Game 7 than losing in Game 6 at least they gave a fight.

Celtics are a strong team but I think that the Raptors will take Game 7 so I will put a risk on it and will bet on them (just a small amount only for fun ).

They are a good match and whoever wins this will have a difficult time facing Miami.
Does Iguodala have a lucky charm?  

Can't consider him as a lucky charm though but its just pure experience and his skills.
He is a veteran already when it comes to playoffs and his experience really helped those young players especially Robinson, Herro and Adebayo and also add his defensive skills. He is a good defender .

Whoever wins in the Raptors-Celtics the next day will have a hard time to fight the Miami indeed. They are on fire and most of the time, at least 4-5 players are in the making double digit points. Well balanced team are hard to manage .

I think being overconfident sometimes could really be so bad in gambling. Im betting on these teams too and I've been betting for Celtics twice in a row but in this game I bet on Toronto because it seems that they would still last until game 7, it is a shame that I did not go all in though, just bet half of my normal bet.

[freedomgo]

Wow, the series goes to game 7 for the Raptors vs Celtics.

This is the best series so far in the 2nd round, and it was really entertaining watching both teams especially the Raptors who really have the heart of a champion. Raptors never gave up, they know their game and just in 2 OT, they won both.

I can't wait to see the game 7, I like them but I'm not rooting for them to win.

[Questat]

Same here, game 7 is always fun to watch, no matter what the outcome.
At the moment, I will just relax and will just analyze carefully on what team I will bet on in game 7.

Raptors are a strong finisher while Celtics are a good starter, it's hard to decide to be honest.

Raptors fans here, what do you think, are your team going to the ECF this time again?

I am for boston celtics because theynhad great players that are young and strong. They just need to cooperate and trust each other and coaching for them is very important. They just need to synchronization on their plays to outsmart the other teams. When it comes to 3 point shooting they too have it but of course not likely to Golden State to which curry and thompson are really good to it. I am also wishing to see celtics in the championship to see how really strong they are after they will going to beat strong team like lakers.
