2024 NBA Season

[yazher]

Harden is looking pretty bad out there. If he’s in that poor of shape you’d think they’d be better off letting their other guys take his spot. The way he’s slowing the pace and not putting up points it’s pretty clear he’s a liability out there. Unless he comes with some second half heroics I don’t think Durant is gonna be able to lift them to a win alone.

The game is close and the Brooklyn Nets finally take the lead here in the 4th quarter. the way they play is not right as if they were panicking in every possession. With James Harden in the court, he still adjusting without playing with them in the last games. now that Irving is out he needs to do his thing without overdoing it because they still have another game to win if they can get through this one.

Edit: Final score MIL 108 BKN 114.

Durant did almost everything 49 points with a big help from Jeff Green 7/8 in 3 point lane. Wow! I'm really amazed at how they came back from a 17 point lead of the Bucks.
It's their fault, they did not preserved it very well. A lot of their plays didn't make sense. Giannis shooting threes, foul troubles, and they just didn't take care of every possession. They will sure look into what errors they made and they will puke at how bad they are.
Giannis made a lot of turnovers by forcing it in the paint, Green made him pay by selling the offensive fouls.

The bucks let it slip away, especially Giannis his free-throw will be a very big factor in the series, and the nets with a very good coach like nash will try and take advantage of it, game 5 is already in the hands of the bucks but because of the free throws and turnover by Giannis the handed it to the nets with those errors in the dying seconds.

And that costly error in the dying seconds, Just wow for Durant though, historic triple double, the Durant pre-injury, or shall we say that he is back in his old form and better.

I thought that Bucks had this, but they allow the Nets to comeback, and they missed easy shots. Just imagine if they won this game 3-2 and then going home to close the highly Nets.

Giannis Choke in final quarter, trying to showcase his talents competing with KD.

In times like this you'll know who's the real superstar, KD with that monster stats dictates that he's back in business.
Not letting to upset their fans, the huge margin from the first half is just a memory that Bucks needs to review, they
need to make sure that it won't happened again playing at home.

It was an unbelievable performance by Durant. Regarding Harden, he played 45 minutes in this match, and I think it's too much for him, considering that it was his first game after injury. It definitely wasn't a good coaching decision, but it looks like Nash hadn't a choice.

Durant definitely showed he was the best player in the world right now tonight. Even Giannis said as much after the game. I hope Harden brings more to the table soon, but you can’t forget that Durant is capable of single-handedly taking a team to the Finals. I think he might need a little more help to close out the Bucks though.

Durant did a really good job but as the first option with regards to scoring, he really needs to step up if they want to win in this must-win Game 5 or else they will lose the whole series. 49 point triple double. What can you expect for the arguably the best scoring player.

What I want to highlight is the help coming from Jeff Green. He is a bench but scored 27 points on 7/8 from the 3 point line. I know how heroic Durant is but without a second scorer, the Nets will lose the game so lets give credit to him also not only Durant. And I forgot Harden who didn't help that much all throughout the game. Its obvious that he is still not 100% healthy.

In Game 6, I think that the Bucks will win and there will be a Game 7 at Brooklyn . Still I will go in Nets in 7 like what I predicted at the start of this series.

Woow, Durant was on fire!! I was impressed with his performance, he literally played really well!
Harden could have helped more, but unfortunately he didn't play good.

These semi finals in NBA are well balanced. Let's see what other games will happen.

If they will win in this series, Nets should thank Durant for being a GOAT in that game, I can't believe what he did, he doesn't look like he came from an injury, he is just shooting well and driving the ball, he is a complete player with a clutch mind, he deserve to win the Finals MVP if they'll be the champion in the NBA Finals.

Yeah, Harden was forced to play the crucial game 5. He might not be able to make enough points in his 45+ mins, but sure it was the Coach's strategy to divert the opponent's defense instead of focusing on Durant.
As you noticed Harden played as much as Durant's full mins even with the bad shooting percentage and a struggling recovery from a bad injury. All that just to avoid Durant as the focal point of the whole Bucks defense.

I applaud Durant for such amazing performance. Stepping up when everyone needs him in a crucial game, not to mention the risk Harden has been facing playing 45mins comes out fresh from the injury.

Bucks blew away their only golden opportunity in the series to beat the Nets, now they have to win 2 games in order to beat the Nets in the series and that would be tough because once Irving is fully recovered, they will have to face the big 3 of the Nets.

Their defense on Durant was not carefully planned, they should double him and put somebody on him as he was the only one who is consistently helping the team to win, yes Green was there but if they can stop Durant, Bucks would have won that game.

They forgot what they did in the first half. They had the best chemistry at that time but not until the 2nd half.
I guess the showers made them cold with each other. 

Golden opportunity. Yes, you could put it that way. Harden was still looking for his rhythm and Kyrie was out.
If they didn't mess around and made every possession as important as possible then it could've been a win for them.
I was waiting for Middleton to answer at every field goal Durant makes, but there's no answer. KD made sure his rhythm won't be stopped with the eye for W.

The one who could at least limit Durant was in early foul trouble, Tucker had 5 fouls in this game and only played 33 minutes. I think Bucks just did the right thing, Durant was just too lucky to hit his shots in the 4th quarter. It's really destined for us to see a good match up and we might see a game 7 as game 6 is in the home court of the Bucks and I believe they are really good at home.

[ILuckyGuyI]

What a game from Durant, man! He literally carried his team to the win (114-108). Durant had 49 PTS, 17 REB and 10 AST. Completely insane performance from him. Irving didn't play. Harden played for 45 minutes but he wasn't much effective as he barely started to bounce back.

[dwminer1]

Amazing Kevin Durant game. There is no player in the world who can defend against a Durant 1v1. So I don't understand why the Bucks rarely double him. Especially since the Nets have lost their 3-point shooting efficiency somewhere. Suffice it to say that the best recently about this element are Jeff Green and Blake Griffin. Joe Harris useless. James Harden is back. For what? Why did Coach Nash keep him on the court for 45 minutes? Completely uninvolved in the attack, in defense he did not even try to pretend that he defending. After all, any other healthy Nets player could have dribble the ball across the pitch and left it to Durant, and would probably have been more useful in defense than Harden.

I'm just watching a video from the ESPN Channel in Youtube and I just saw this 2 Breaking News.
Here is the link:

1. Kawhi Leonard will miss Game 5 against the Jazz and could miss the remainder of the West Conference Semifinals because of the knee injury that he got in Game 4.
2. CP3 will be out indefinitely because of COVID19 protocol. If he will be vaccinated, he will be having a shorter quarantine time.

What are your takeaways with this especially in the first one where Kawhi will not play on the remainder of the West Conference Semifinals? Here's mine.

1. Now the chances of Clippers winning against the full roster Jazz is decreased significantly and knowing that Kawhi is the main player of the team, his absence will be felt for sure. Maybe we will see a Playoff P that can at least carry the team alongside with other Clipper players and possibly win against them but the chances are very low now that Kawhi will not play.

2. I just hope that CP3 will be able to play when the Jazz-Clippers match up will be over. His presence inside the court is needed by the Suns. His leadership, him being a floor general. The Suns need him in order for them to win in the WCF.

1. Kawhi Leonard will miss Game 5 against the Jazz and could miss the remainder of the West Conference Semifinals because of the knee injury that he got in Game 4.

This makes me sad to be honest, I thought everything was fine for him on the last update and nothing were too serious. When Beverly just got in helping the defense and now we're missing Kawhi, he's their best shot to win this thing but he's absence will truly make a huge impact especially on their offense.

[danherbias07]

And that costly error in the dying seconds, Just wow for Durant though, historic triple double, the Durant pre-injury, or shall we say that he is back in his old form and better.

Classic Kevin Durant.  
I expected him to take it up a notch without Irving. He will really shoulder all the offense but I didn't predicted it would be that much.
I was even doubting my bet when I took it.

But bro, he went higher like he is in the zone and no one can ever stop him. The Bucks use every player to experiment defending him but none worked.

1. Kawhi Leonard will miss Game 5 against the Jazz and could miss the remainder of the West Conference Semifinals because of the knee injury that he got in Game 4.

So that's the reason for the suspicious spreads and why he is not listed in the player props. Thanks.

Yeah, it's sad to hear that Kawhi could miss the reminder of the series.

So it will be very difficult for the Clippers to win this series now as Kawhi is the center piece of their offense. Although Paul George is still there, the Jazz has so many offensive weapons that it is really hard to offset unless PG13 has some incredible games just like what KD did against the Bucks. It was awkward the way he land, and we think that he is ok, and even after the post game interview, he said that he is good. But the extend of the injury is very different now.
