2024 NBA Season

[Hypnosis00]

Bucks just destroyed Suns in the last game and finally got their first win in the series. Giannis didn't surprise me by scoring 40+ points again. Holiday and Middleton were also a little better in this game. But there wasn't even single person who managed to score 20+ points at Suns. That also made the difference.

Tonight, we're going to see the 4th game in Milwaukee again. And I expect another win for Bucks and Giannis to score at least 35 points.

Same here, I expect for the series to be tied with the Bucks win, well, if Giannis will score 35 points or even less, I'm okay with that as long as Holiday and Middleton will step up and both of them will score at least 20 points. But wait, what if Lopez will again score 30 points? that would be nice, right?

Whoever score and whatever their scores, would be nice if the Series will be tied after game 4. Giannis will still be unstoppable, he looks to lock in already in every game, if his teammates struggle, at least he can carry his team as he's been consistent scoring 40 points + in the last two games.

He lives up to the challenge, he criticized but you can see the Suns have no effective defense against him.

That odds of Lopez scoring 30+ points in game 4 is going to be huge help for the Bucks. In any case anyone is interested on players prop bet on Lopez.

Over 10.5 points = 1.80
Under 10.5 points = 1.97

I'd like to see Middleton though taking charge of the offense and not put it all on Giannis shoulder. Giannis can only do that much, but Middleton as the second scoring options should be the one scoring 30+ points. Holiday already provided the offense on game 3. Now it's time for Middleton to carry the load again just like what he did against the Hawks and the Nets series.

Fans have big factor in the game they can distract the focus of a player especially if they create more sound and taunting gestures towards the player, thats why we have homecourt advantage and players are happy to play there home because they know they will be hype up by the cheer of their home crowd. Although they are trained to this but still players have emotion so provably they are been destructed at that time and also the bucks are also heating up at that moment.

Players talked about this, the fans of other team is not as big of a deal as actually moving around. Like for example if the game was played in just one court, for all 7 games, and the fans alternated then it wouldn't become a problem and that is the important part. So let's say you are a Bucks player, you go to Phoenix Arizona, that is about 3 thousand kilometeres away, so you basically go bigger than most nations ffs, and then you sleep there, or hope to sleep there and then you end up with playing games there, then you come back.

So, home court advantage means that you get to have your games at your home at first, that is why we saw 2-0 for home team many teams in history, you move nowhere, while the other team travels such a long distance, especially in finals after a whole years of fatigue, you end up travelling 3000 km and play a 48 minute high pace game? That is just condition killer for everyone.

The NBA organization would not allow that if they know it's not good for the players, they valued their players as they are the one that is making money for the organization. Let's just accept that it is what it is, and that's a challenge every team has to face, and since we don't even see them complain, so we can assume that they're cool with it.

Is it just me or is anyone else more excited or more interested in the Olympic basketball games than they are the championships going on right now?  This championship series, while I have been paying attention, is about as boring as I've ever seen.

I got the picture if that's how you see the current NBA Finals or maybe your bet team was unfortunately eliminated.

However, I don't feel the same. Every NBA championship is a good watch to me even right at the start of the Playoffs. It's even better today as we don't see the usual teams and faces in the Finals. Already made a good profit too out from betting.

The saying that if only Nets are healthy is another story of "what if" scenarios just like the Phoenix Suns rally this playoff against Lakers in 1st Round, Nuggets in 2nd round, and Clippers in Conference Finals.

And not just with the teams playing in the Finals right now, our respective gambling bets are adding some excitement to the game.

I agree, Olympics can wait, for me it's more exciting to have the NBA finals. Although others might argue  that is one sort of not to be expected finals as Brooklyn and Lakers are the heavy favorites early, but still this is a good series.

Specially for those NBA bettors, like me (I already locked in my bets on the other thread), so it's exciting to see the full game and see how your bets are (winning or losing).

Exciting as it is, we 've seen how both teams competes they are putting everything  to entertained their fans.

Like what you have said, both teams are not the heavy favorites since the beginning of this new season, but with the way they are
playing, simply dictates how deserving they are reaching to this finals. Now that the series are tied it went down to race to two games, the first team to take couple of wins will take the title..

The Bucks won again, and it was a really close game. Middleton and Booker had unbelievable performances because both scored 40+ points. It also worth noting that Ayton was blocked by Giannis in the last minute of the fourth quarter, and I guess it was the decisive moment of this match.

As expected, they managed to win game 4 in a close battle against the Suns. I think the fans in the Suns home court are now preparing on how to destruct the Bucks just like what they did on the first 2 games of the series. nevertheless, professional players do not really take those things as destruction but sometimes they worked to give players motivation to come back and get the wins. Now that the series is even, this is when the game start to heat up let's see who will gonna get the win in the next game.

It will not be really that easy for the Suns to win this series, the Greek Freak was just unstoppable. This is 4th consecutive double-double for him this Finals and he just shy away this get 4 for 2 assists to get that triple-double and it was just that amazing. I'm still into my vote for Bucks to get this ring on the poll above. This 2 teams are just hungry and it's exhilarating.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I'm really happy that Bucks managed to make a comeback in the series. I was expecting 35+ points from Giannis but he got 26 points. However, it was Middleton's night. He scored 40 points and played a big role on the win. At Suns, Booker was the one who played awesome and he was the most scorer of the game also (42 PTS). But players like Paul and Ayton couldn't help too much. It was still a close game and it ended 109-103. Now the series is getting really interesting.

This championship series, while I have been paying attention, is about as boring as I've ever seen.

If you were able to watch Game 4, the game was very thrilling and exciting until the buzzer ended. There are lots of turning points in the last few minutes by both teams.

No one knows who will win as the game is close almost throughout the game. I like that kind of game and hope to see it for the next following games.

I just need a +1 win for the Bucks so I can now seal my win outside gambling. Much happier if the Bucks will also win the title for another win that I placed during the Conference Finals.

Yeah, that block though, ohh, easy two points of Ayton and that could shift the momentum, but this time it was not a chase block but an alley-opp block by Giannis, indeed he is a freak with that long hands. And now going down to the best of 3, which team is more hungry? I think it will be another close game 5 but it's hard to predict who will win, although Suns will be at the advantage because the home court.

[yahoo62278]

So far the home team has won every game, it was a really close game tonight until about 9 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Devin Booker had to sit out with 5 fouls and it let the Bucks crawl back into the game. In the end, the Bucks played great the last 3 minutes of the game and held on for the win. Game 5 in Phoenix GO SUNS

I mentioned in the thread that Bucks should win this at home and they did. They didnt win easy were losing by the end of 3rd quarter but ended up winning by 6 points in the end at home. This series are more intresting after every match. But Suns shouldnt have dropped that 9 point lead at start of the last quarter

[Karartma1]

What an amazing game 4! Middleton and Booker performances are from out of space! I won my bet as I got Bucks winning with less than 10 points difference. It was a tight game and Giannis did his part without being the MVP. The Suns could have had a bit more luck but that was all on the Bucks side. Now on the 2-2 these finals are super hot! I believe Bucks can win the next game too, but I'll wait tomorrow for a detailed analysis.

It was. What we had been waiting for finally happened. Middleton answers the doubt of all the Bucks fans.
Look how cool of a team the Bucks are when their stars are shining like that.

Booker though is really something, those are tough shots that he made with Tucker all over him or Jrue Holiday.
That's some offense on high-quality performance. He's really hot and it was only the foul trouble that stopped him.
If he didn't sit down for a number of minutes, it might go overtime or the Suns with a good chance of winning.

[OgNasty]

I think Ayton with 17 rebounds did his job on the glass, but he’s gotta do better shooting from the field than that. No excuse for only scoring 6 points. He puts up his usual % from the field and it’s a tie game. The Suns have ridden DeAndre hard all playoffs and I think they need to go to him and let him punish Giannis down low if they want to win. Next game this Saturday. It will determine who has their back against the wall…

He has some good looks I think in the first quarter when they had a switch, I think it's against Jrue Holiday or Pat Connaughton and surprisingly, they didn't foul him. I don't think he can do one on one against Giannis though, and usually when he got the ball in the middle, he was double or even triple team. Credits to the Bucks for that come from behind victory, I thought that the Suns have it in their bag, but the Bucks becomes aggressive and hit those critical shots specially Middleton.
