2024 NBA Season

[el kaka22]

Both Celtics and Raptors do deserve to be on the conference finals and I believe whoever wins this series definitely goes to finals. I am not trying to undervalue the great work Miami put in to come here, nobody gave them any chance at the start of the year, they weren't really all that amazing when they started the year and odds were low and they came all the way to conference finals so totally kudos to them but I believe this was it, whoever wins this series will beat Miami and go to finals. And you know what is even more shocking?

Raptors were champions last year with Kawhi and when he left everyone thought Raptors would be horrible too, like how Lebron left Cavs type of situation. So if Raptors and Miami faces each other, that would be something nobody expected at all.

True.
I am guilty of thinking the Raptors will never even reach this round.
Not even a good spot in the season. Like 7th or 8th seed actually. But they prove me wrong. Not all team that had been left by stars will be that bad.
They are actually improving and so does Nick Nurse. Chemistry wise, they are high.
I saw a lot of errors in their defense yesterday but I don't see any player pointing fingers to anyone.
They just take the ball and inbound it again and do better next time.

Some may not even notice it but they will be stronger next year or better right now.
They had been here, they know the drill.
Just look at how Powell shoot those free throws, you won't even see a lucky roll, all are nothing but net especially when its needed in a crucial game.

Nuggets do look outpowered here by the clips.  Dont think they have another 3-1 comback in them especially versus the clips.  Last night's game was crucial to them giving themselves a chance to compete to get the conf finals but looked outmatched.  I hope they can at least win a game or 2 to turn this into another good series.

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.

Before advancing to that, they needed to beat the defending champ on this game 7 do or die match, then Face the heat
which really performed well even they are not the heavy favorite to win over the Bucks.

You said it right Boston really have the talents but they need to blend more,

coaches are really the big factors during this do or die game, knowing who's players to use and rotates.

 I am just so happy for Kemba Walker out of all this situation and Jimmy Butler as well. These are two players who have worked really hard since they got into the league, obviously speaking Jimmy Butler had a lot more media attention and Kemba was a lot more silent but they worked really hard and because of their horrible FO situations they never got to anywhere at all, which is why they never really got any success neither, Kemba literally had only 3 wins all of his career in the entire playoff career, yet here he is almost at the gasp of advancing to east finals, that is really more than he could ever hope for. At least he is getting the chances to go even further thanks to celtics this year and Jimmy moved around in a lot of teams and finally he is getting that sweet success as well.

They did came back against the Jazz but honestly I don't think they can do the same with the Clippers.
Nuggets have to play better in game 5 and continue the same in the succeeding games if they will be given a chance.

As long as they can't stop Leonard, they'll be in trouble already of getting eliminated early.

Good luck on the celtics though, hopefully Kemba will get into ECF this time.

Agreed.  The clippers are not the jazz.  Kawhi leonard is a force that has proven very tough to stop.  You can shut down PG but if Kahwi is on his game its lights out.  The nugs just have to think about this one game.  If they can steal 2 games here the pressure is definately on the clips, they know this so i expect a fierce game 5 from the clips, we'll see but looks like my dark horse is in trouble.

I wrote in previous post that I expect Clipps to win with +15 spread last game. Why? Clippers are the most adaptable team in the NBA and have enormous depth, players that can play multiple positions and multiple styles. Nuggets have been measured in first 3 games and that was lights out.

It is not about stopping Kahwi or George or Lou or anyone else. It is about beating Clippers defense and I don't see many teams capable of doing that in 4 games. Next game in the series will be the last one and Clippers will win it even easier then the last one.

Lakers is 3-1 up against the Rockets now. Davis, James, and Rondo balling out real good in this series. I don't see Harden's team coming back from this. Lakers has all the answer to match and exceed Rockets offensive power.

.....
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.

It's how mentally prepared they are coming to game 7. That Celtics team always falling short in the past couple of years so I'm not sure if they would collapse again in a do or die game. Raptors have been there before and managed to win it all.

Both Lakers(3) vs. Rockets(1) and Nuggets(1) vs. La Clippers(3) are on the same standing. 3-1 for their ends. It is looking that we're going to see a match up for both Los Angeles franchise at the conference finals.
While for the Boston(3) vs. Raptors(3) with both standing and do or die series, this is the most interesting upcoming match up.

Yes, high chance.
I am more positive with the Nuggets trying to get 1 more win than Houston against Lakers.
We can see how they dominate the game with pick and rolls that small Houston could not defend.

This kind of strategy is the problem with Mike D'Antoni just like what happened with Suns back then.
It's almost the same. Steve Nash getting season MVP but could not finish the Finals.
80 percent offense and 20 on defense. No, it won't work.

Defense creates offense but offense doesn't create defense.

Boston and Raptors is the most interesting upcoming match up. I agree with you in this as the last game played was really tough for both teams to come up with a winner. I thought that Raptors will going to lose in their last match but with 2 OT they make some run and even win the game.
The possible match up between la lakers and la clippers would too be great because both teams wanted to win in championship game. I guess it is still in favor of la lakers with lebron leading the lakers team.

[freedomgo]

Game 7 I should go all in, this is my first all in, lol... Celtics all in, this is game 7, they will gave everything here so for awhile the world will stop for me. I have the Celtics winning in game 7, no explanation, I just feel they will win.

[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. 

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.

That is just fine.

I lost but for me it is fine because it was a great game since we had fun watching that game. We're not sitting at that last minutes and this really shows how close we are at the Finals. Still hoping for Boston to win and I know they can, they will be taking that spot at ECF.

Just follow your instinct, this is game 1, it's anybody's game. I would consider betting on the Celtics also as in the last 6 games, they are the ones who are a better team, of course others could see it differently but that's how I see this game. I am also thinking of betting the under as game 7 is all about defense, so hopefully there won't be no OT in this game.

[Russlenat]

Nice analysis, you only fear when the game went to OT as in the series 2 games already went to OT and both goes over.

Total per sportsbook is only 203 (live), so probably this is really a low scoring game.

Mind you, based on my observation, it's usual line was from 216 to 220.. so this drop a lot.

No wonder, besides even the pool above shows how favorite they are for a head to head matchup. Well, for Celtics and Raptors I think the momentum right now is on Raptors, they really made a comeback and I am thinking that's an unstoppable force on the process.

Was that on your bookie or you've got something that matches you up in this forum? That's the confidence, well, I think I'm on Raptors, good luck with the bet.

Dude, that's some confidence right there, I wish I had a bit of it  . Well I am rooting with Toronto Raptors on this match up (but I couldn't bet lol), however, I couldn't deny the fact that, Celtics is way more dominant team here. Anyway, best of luck with your bet as, I am pretty sure, large money is at stake here   .

Why you couldn't bet? We are in the crypto space, if you are minor it doesn't matter, just try to put a little bet man, I'll tell you, it will entertain you more watching the game. Remember, this is game 7, no other game after this.

I don't want to disagree with what you said but you are saying here that Miami will get defeated by whoever wins in the Celtics-Raptors Game 7 tomorrow right??

Its easy to say things like that bruh but if you will only see, Miami has a good run since they went in the Bubble. Swept the Pacers and eliminated the top-seeded team in the whole NBA? Do you think that the Raptors can do it in their current roster right now?

I don't think that Miami will be defeated in this. I believe that they are the ones who will face one of the LA teams in the NBA Finals. They have the momentum. They are a well balanced team and they are well-synchronized and they also have a veteran coach who won NBA championships already. I'm not belittling the Raptors and Celtics here but I don't think that one of them can defeat Miami right now.
