2024 NBA Season

[goinmerry]

Denver Nuggets erased all the speculations that Game 6 will be their final game this season.

They forced a Game 7 via 111-98 win.

And come to think of it, the Clippers is one of the most offensive team in the league but they only did 35 points in the whole second half. I don't see it as a bad shot day for the Clippers but the Nuggets' defense really worked out to them. It's hard to imagine that the Clippers will lose 3 in a row especially on what they are right now so Nuggets should be like this on their deciding game.

Everything is possible, but I think that this was it. A wake up call, if they don't snap and start playing whole match aggressively they don't deserve to go through. I'm not alarmed as i believe that Doc is still educating the team and probably considers this as a schooling for the team.

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.

I also had the same thought whenever these two teams go head to head during the regular season but after the first two rounds of the playoffs I think Lakers are going all the way to the finals since their results are much cleaner than the Clippers.

Now that the Nuggets manage to push this series to the distance I really hope they win game 7. Clippers already had a good first half on the last two games and it's a worrying sign that they couldn't close it. Also the trend for the unders in game 7s still goes on after the series between Raptors and Celtics.

Losing game 7 would be an epic fail for the Clippers, even I somewhat would love the story of total Nuggets comeback, would probably be more interesting than Heat vs Bucks.

[livingfree]

Sure it was a sweet comeback for Denver Nuggets. Most of us thought that it won't be long and it will never make a game 7 for their matchup against La Clippers.

Now, it's looking that they can potentially move to the next bracket against Lakers. We'll see how this game 7 will end.

[Harlot]

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.

Bro the Miami Heat almost wiped Milwaukee Bucks the number 1 seeded team in the East what do you think will happen when Miami faced the 3rd seeded team in the East? Because I believe it wouldn't even go as far as the 5th game of the series for us to show Miami can take down Boston easily. Also Boston Celtics is still uncertain when will Gordon Hayward will return and they definitely need him in this series if they want someone to match with Butler.

Unfortunately it doesn't work like that.  You cant just say they beat #1 so they will automatically beat #2-8.  To say the celtics won't even contend with them is rediculous.  Many times #7 beat the #2 team or #6 beat the #3 team it doeant mean an automatic win over a lower seeded team.

That is why I didn't even bother to respond to his constatation...It is too basic to waste words on such things. Since I couldn't restrain myself and had to answer might as well add something constructive to my rumination.

If Clipps are planing to win in game 7 Doc needs to stop rotating so much, maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me like he is acting the same way he did in regular season.Too many rotations and some players simply need to get more minutes no matter what.

I see that point but don't forget that Raptors who Boston defeat was the defending champ right?

We can only dictate what will happened after we seen them played in game 1, we will be able to have a closer looks from how this
two teams will compete, Miami is a full defensive team while Boston are full of young guns who can all take 1x1. Offense vs Defense
very interesting to watch.

[rhomelmabini]

It's hard to imagine that the Clippers will lose 3 in a row especially on what they are right now so Nuggets should be like this on their deciding game.

That's still a speculation as well but we'll see this on the do or die matchup on Wednesday.

I don't think it applies mostly on the standings but there's always a possibility especially on this Celtics young guns but still Heat will prevail, I do have a hunch on that.

Yeah I think ypu are going to see a heavy dose of the starting rotation.  Either way the only way the clips win is if kawhi puts the team on his back.  Think the rest 9f the team will start feeling the pressure and I can see a 35-15-8 game from joker and God forbid murray has one of those 30-40 pt nights.  If the spread is higher than 5 I'd be all in on the nuggets on this one.

[Vaculin]

Welcome to another game of the series, who would expect this will happen, and yet we are going to witness another exciting game for the two teams.

Last playoffs when Leonard lead the Raptors, they beat the Sixers in game 7 with his lucky shot, can he still do that magic in this game.
And Nuggets, man... I don't know what to say, hands down, this team is legit and Jokic and Murray tandem was really one of the best highlights here.

So can they do it here what they did to the jazz?

All of that we will find out in game 7.

[Yogee]

What happened in the semifinals so far:
- East: Miami defeated Bucks (4-1); Celtics advances after seven games (4-3)
- West: Lakers defeated Rockets (4-1); Clippers and Nuggets will battle it out in game 7.

That's a good story line don't you think?

Yeah, specially the Miami story line, as for the Celtics vs Toronto, Celtics already built their team with and it works perfectly with Kemba, while Toronto after winning last years championship was left without their main main. Lakers it is expected with Lebron and Davis, while surprisingly Nuggets hang on against Leonard and Paul George and force a decider. Clippers collapses was very uncanny. So let's see how the story line will go.

Yes it is.

It was really unexpected for the Nuggets.
Never thought they could tie it from a come back of 3-1 deficit.
It proves a lot. Their chemistry is really better since none of them had given up. Other teams would just concede thinking it's rare to come back that deep.
They have given us good entertainment and better with Game 7.

[batang_bitcoin]

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.

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

Ooops, they've broken our expectations that the series would be ending for Nuggets and Clippers. An amazing run and performance Nuggets has been showing to us.
The series tied and this is the actual final game. It would be a devastating lose for Clippers if ever they'll lose this game. And the same goes for the Nuggets, that's disappointing that they've made up to the last game then they'll only lose. Anyway, both of the teams have been doing their best.

Forget about that, they will surely gave their best and accept the result of this game. Of course, the winner will rejoice and the losers will feel the opposite but reaching in this stage is already an achievement and if they continue to play and improve, who knows, one of these teams will be an NBA champion in the future.

Lots of expectation for the Clippers, but if Nuggets will win this time, I'm sure people will be happy as Nuggets are doing their best and they prove to be one of the best teams in the NBA, a very competitive team who never gave up.

They could even win this series if the Clippers offence will be the same like they did in game 6. It's not that hard for that thing to happen since they've found some way to beat them on 3 straight games and the Clipper's coach is losing his hair to think some strategies to counter both offensive and defensive strategies of the Denver Nuggets. Jokic has been playing like a team captain along with Murray who make this game like how it used to be when it was more than 20 years ago.

Also I want to see a match between Anthony Davis and Nikola Jokic in a playoff games to see whos the current best center in the league.

I'm even more afraid about Nuggets more than Clippers now, thinking if Lakers would've to face that team in WCF  . It seems to me that they could even go over with LA with these looks. I'm not tryin' to underestimate Clippers though, maybe I just expect too much from them, 'cause I never thought it would reach up to Game 7 considering their previous standing.

Bro the Miami Heat almost wiped Milwaukee Bucks the number 1 seeded team in the East what do you think will happen when Miami faced the 3rd seeded team in the East? Because I believe it wouldn't even go as far as the 5th game of the series for us to show Miami can take down Boston easily. Also Boston Celtics is still uncertain when will Gordon Hayward will return and they definitely need him in this series if they want someone to match with Butler.

Unfortunately it doesn't work like that.  You cant just say they beat #1 so they will automatically beat #2-8.  To say the celtics won't even contend with them is rediculous.  Many times #7 beat the #2 team or #6 beat the #3 team it doeant mean an automatic win over a lower seeded team.

Yeah you can say that but I'm just saying facts here that even if Miami Heat is just 5th in the East they still manage to beat the #1 seeded game in the East which is really a a surprising thing to see. Celtics will definitely contend and be competitive especially because it is the semi-finals of the game. I'm just saying that Miami has the advantage during this game because they have shown what they are capable when they beast Milwaukee easily during their match.
