2024 NBA Season

[wheelz1200]

I don't know but I have a feeling now that Celtics will win against Boston and we will see again another epic series between the Celtics and the Heat.

I know this was just a mistake LOL but that was hilarious, see the bolded letters. I know it was Raptors.

I was also wondering if what's the odds for series winner (LA vs LA).. I have a friend asking me for a series bet with him,  he is betting on the Lakers to win in the series, I think Lakers here will be the favorites so since I like Clippers, I might just bet online and get a better odds.

What's your thoughts about this?

Well, to your friend you've got no choice but go for Clippers, your choice but I think they really got a good match maybe a close one. I am rooting for Clippers no matter what even the Lakers will be the favorite.

Don't count out the nuggets just yet.  If somehow they can win game 6 there will be a crazy amount of pressure in game 7.  Just imagine if the nuggets could come back twice in the playoffs down 3-1.  I've seen crazier things happen.  My dark horse is still in it

The thing about Tatum and Brown is that ever since they came into the league they have actually went to playoffs as well, I know they have been in the league for a short period of time now but they have been going to the playoffs every year and that equals confidence as well as experience as well. Now that they actually got a great leadership with Kemba Walker (which they expected from Kyrie but he failed) they could actually make a lot more noise.

I know in my gut that this series is easily Celtics, I get that Miami overachieved all year and they could once again shock everyone, nobody could say that it is impossible because nobody expected them to beat Bucks neither so anything could happen but my money will be on Celtics, I know they will have a bigger chance.

Miami Heat had a great run in this playoffs but I think Boston Celtics will win the ECF. We will see how Miami would play against them and I want to see how will Boston face the tight defense of Miami that they showed against the Milwaukee Bucks. I don't know what will happen but let's wait what will happen to the WCF.

This is a good analysis and opinion.

Most of the thoughts that I've read are for Miami Heat. But this time, you're saying that it's with Boston Celtics. It's the first game so it's going to be an exciting match up.

Miami heat's defense is good but Boston as well has a good defense as we can see that most of the games in the last series were low scoring game, except for those games that went into OT. This is an interesting series, if Heat stopped the Bucks, that is because Bucks relied so much on Giannis but the Celtics team is very different, all players in the floor are good scorer and they have a good ball movement as well.

No, I did expect they will beat the Bucks, they are not a good team in the playoffs, look at last ECF, they lose against the Raptors. Bucks is just a hype team and Miami is an underrated team, that's the reality.

Yeah, I agree, they also have a great defense. Based on their last game against Toronto Raptors, they have 12 steals and Raptors has 18 turnovers. In offense, as you said they have good ball movement unlike Bucks that is just run and gun but without any passes. And let's not forget, Gordon Hayward will be back at that series.

 The great thing about the regular season part of the bubble was the fact that we could watch a lot of games at european time zone, the bad thing about bubble playoff is the fact that almost all games are USA time zone. In any case todays game will be very important, if Lakers move to next stage they will have big advantage, rest is really more important in playoffs than people realize, they will have one more day rest than whoever they face at earliest, maybe even more.
 
 Obviously that doesn't mean anything, they still have to beat Clippers probably and also whoever they face from east, I feel like west will be even harder, because whoever they face from east they will probably beat, clippers or lakers whoever goes to finals they will certainly have an easier match up in the finals, those teams are just too young to actually go against these elite vet teams.

That's huge, Jimmy Bucket will continue producing points for the team but Celtics offense are properly spread.

Tatum, Walker, Smart, Brown, ect... these guys contributed well in the series, and if Hayward will play soon, that would be a good boost to the team's offense.

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.

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.

There we go.
We've seen an end to the series of Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors. 5 points led by the end of the game by Boston Celtics.
Most teams want to win the championship and in this special case that they're in the bubble, this is going to be another piece of incredible history. Nuggets just won their 2nd win and thought that it would be the end of the series, we still get to see team play for game 6 tomorrow.

Yeah, I believe game 6 for Nuggets will be the last game of the series. Clippers had the game, but they relaxed to early and it cost them the win. They won't repeat that again I'm sure. Shame for Raptors that they couldn't win, I liked their fighting spirit, but Boston probably deserves it a bit more.

I expect Miami - Boston to be another 6-7 games series.

I think that Game 5 too will be the last win of the Nuggets. I didn't watched the Game 5 but in Game 4, the defense of the Clippers is really good that Murray can't contribute that much to the team in terms of points.
For the Raptors-Celtics Game 7 yesterday, their last play is rugged. They are forced to take the 3 in their last possession before the shot clock expires and the shot of Vanvleet got blocked. Maybe the fouling out of Lowry have impact in the team? Anyway they lost and Celtics will fight the Miami.

My prediction with Celtics-Heat is Miami will win in 5-6 games .

I agree that East seems to be younger bunch than the West players.

Antetokounmpo is just 25, but since they lost, we have Herro which is the youngest player to ever play in a CF, theres also Tatum, Adebayo, Brown, all in all these teams are young in comparison to maybe just Lakers' players. Still, that is just their advantage, despite their ages they've done well and they've shown how great they are.

A lot of love for the Western team especially for the Lakers and Clippers.

If Lakers win the championship, the success would add to the legacy of Lebron James.

If the Clippers will win, that will put Leonard in the history.

If Leonard can lead the Clippers to the 2020 NBA championship and add another Finals MVP trophy to his resume, he will become the first player in NBA history to win Finals MVP with three different teams - the same awaits James if he leads the Lakers to the title.

Will the celtics or the Heat would take that opportunity from the team who will advance in the NBA FINALS?

[Natalim]

Of course, there's a big possibility as Both the Celtics and Heat are playing very well in the playoffs, whichever team will advance in the NBA Finals, I'm sure they will give a hard time to their opponent. I think I will go with the Clippers winning over the Lakers, and Clippers will win in the championship, but before that, they need to take care of the business tomorrow by defeating the Nuggets.

[NavI_027]

If the Clippers will win, that will put Leonard in the history.

Yup! It also proves that he can really carry a team wherever he go. Though James has also the potential to do it, Kawhi is still more impressive for me. I'm always amazed every time I watch him playing dormant but ending up as a best player of the match . A humble silent scoring machine indeed.

Will the celtics or the Heat would take that opportunity from the team who will advance in the NBA FINALS?

Nothing is impossible. You know, Heat was able to beat Bucks (and I feel bad about it lol). Celtics on the other hand are well balanced as well. We don't know what would be the final outcome but this conference is exciting for sure.

Sorry about that mistake, yes, that was a mistake by me, because I keep thinking of the Celtics I have it mixed in my mind the boston and Celtics.
it should be "celtics will win against the Raptors", and I was right.

Good for you, hopefully we will be lucky but we are counting it already, they still have game to finished in game 6. lol...

That's okay, we make mistakes. By the way, I believe you've got a good grief with that all in bet for Celtics, congrats. Are you still on Celtics for the upcoming ECF? I think Miami has good lineup now and has more Veterans compared to Celtics, what's your take?

Will the celtics or the Heat would take that opportunity from the team who will advance in the NBA FINALS?

I am in Heat in this match they even got the Greek Freak's team not to have a second win, I'm bullish on Heat.

[RealMalatesta]

First of all I have to say this is basketball and anything could happen, a 73-9 world record breaking team managed to get ahead 3-1 on a finals series and ended up losing the championship, nothing is too shocking in basketball, everything is possible. But aside from that, I believe personally that Clippers is a better team because they play with heart, obviously they do have talent but many players there like harrel, pat bev, gordon, louwill and likes all play with obviously talent but mostly heart, they have managed to make a HUGE comeback last year to gsw as well if anyone can remember that, it was all heart.

Now this doesn't mean Lakers will lose, they have Lebron and I believe Lebron could win any game, dude is just a whole another level but clippers will definitely give them hell.

[SammyBiG]

Leggoo!
I'm rooting for an all LA WCF 😎

Hopes on Zubac, Pat, Kawhi, George, Harrell...


Let's leave the ECF for the best duo of Jim and Bam!!!

I expect Miami - Boston to be another 6-7 games series.

Same thing happening again.  My nuggets are looking 🔥.   Down 16 at half and came ripping back.  If they can lock up this win how much pressure that puts on the clips.  I think nuggets pull off a second 3-1 deficit.  Epic if it can be done.  Honestly I'd rather see the nuggets vs lakers anyway since joker AD is a better match up than clips can throw at the lakers
