What the happening to Brooklyn Nets. They seems good on the 1st then there defense and offense become weak on second half. Irving only got 10 points on the last 2 minutes of the game. I believe they already give up this game 2 to Boston and planning to even the series on there home court. It’s my first time to bet with them and it’s so frustrating to watch them on this kind of performance. Hahaha

I was just asking myself the same thing. I watched the first quarter and a little bit of the second quarter when I was at the gym and they were looking solid. I came home and tuned in again in the fourth where they just completely fell apart. Kyrie can’t just being putting up only 10 points on 4 of 13 shooting. That’s just so unlike him.  They better they can win the next one and get Simmons back to help game 4.

Kyrie was not playing well, maybe his body can't keep up with the intensity of the game, in the pictures I saw, he was just eating a banana because of Ramadan, that probably does not give him enough energy to compete in a physical game. Congrats to the Celtics, they are 2-0 up in the series now.

Kyrie was taken out from the equation by the Celtics in the 3rd, he even barely get touches. And then they go up against Durant, putting up a good defense as well, blocking his shots, making him very uncomfortable.

And as we have been saying, this 2 needs to play very well for them to win. Sadly, in this game, they are just good in the first two quarters. The Celtics on the other hand, rally in the second half.

Yeah, Irving didn't have a very good field goal percentage tonight. However, it seems to me the main reason for the Nets' defeat was Durant's terrible performance. I know Durant scored 27 points, but the problem is that he scored most of those points from the free throw line while his field goal percentage was only 23.5%, and he also made 6 turnovers. As for Simmons, Nash said there is no exact date for his return yet.

Indeed, the Celtics were able to make a complete rally and win the game. Glad for the Celtics that everyone was making their contribution, this time, they don't rely only on the production of Tatum and Brown, great game for them, hopefully Nets will bounce back on their home court and will even the series after game 4.

Game of adjustments, now it's the turn of the Nets to win a game in homecourt and make the series close. They can't allow the Celtics to just run over them and sweep this series. They still have Durant and Irving, but both of them will have to work very very hard as the Celtics is giving them a hard time in defense.

Just one game at a time though, win the next game at home, then come back again to even the series. They just need to win one to get back at this series and with a confidence.

I read an update on Booker's injury. He's been ruled to be out indefinitely and will most likely miss games 3 and 4. Betting odds will be much more favorable to the Suns fans until he returns. I'm not too worried since Suns still have CP3 and they have a deep bench.

Good luck though, I saw them struggle without Booker and the Pelicans are a hungrier team. Having a combo of Ingram and CJ against CP3, I think I already know where this series is going. Anyway, good luck to whatever team you have chosen to place your bet on.

Impressive for Bulls holding off a Bucks' comeback in the second half. It's also a different DeRozan this time compared to his poor shooting in game 1. Game 3 will be tricky for me as because of injuries to Middleton and Portis. I'll wait for updates before placing a bet on this one. I would most likely pick Bucks if they're all healthy.

I didn’t think the Bulls would be able to beat the Bucks a single game in the series so I’m surprised and impressed. They’ve struggled all year against teams over .500 so for them to beat the Bucks in the playoffs is a pretty huge sign they’re giving it their all. The real story of the night for me was the Nets losing again to Boston. They’re putting themselves at risk of being eliminated. Kyrie and KD both had horrible shooting nights, while Jalen Brown looked like the best player on the floor. I don’t know what the Nets need to do to change the trend, but I know if KD and Kyrie shoot like they did tonight there’s no way they’re beating anyone.

Agree. They need to focus on the FG improvement and free throw of there bench player. Claxton free throw is joke while Seth always missed the supposed to be the crucial score they need to get momentum. I don't expect this kind of line up will gonna go to finals. Nets is a mess if Kyrie and Durant is not doing well. There bench player is completely useless in crucial times.

Sometimes thing are different when a team is playing on the road, let's see in game 3 if the Nets would win the game. If we are going to bet on the Nets, bet on game 3 as it's a must win for them, and as history suggest, a team that is down 3-0 has no chance of coming back in the series.

DeRozan vowed something after the dismal shooting in Game 1. “No way in hell I shoot 6 for 25 again.” And he did not let the Bulls fans down. Now his name is everywhere on Twitter with different memes and shocked expressions. That last shot that put the dagger was the best one to prove everything.
A lay up against the Finals MVP Champion.
I love the fact that he is not forcing three point shots. I know he can but that mid range shot is the masterpiece. Takes me back to the 80-90s era.

I was kinda shocked to discover this morning that Bulls managed to beat Bucks on home court. I've also watched the highlights after and you're right , DeRozan was on another level compared to his game 1 so let's hope game 3 will bring even a more aggressive DeRozan and Bulls.

On the other side , yea , I would stay away from Bucks if they are not healthy but if they all come and play on the court , then yes , Bucks is the right call to play.

I was a bit nervous when there was a moment LaVine didn't pass the ball to DeRozan. Thought they were letting De Rozan handle the ball while killing the time. LaVine instead went for a drive and then passed it to someone who missed the shot and then rebounded by the Bucks. Playoffs experience really matters. DeRozan, Caruso and even Vucevic showed their maturity.

While the eastern top seed failed to steal that game 2, it was Joel Embiid and the 76ers who took Raptors home by surprise with that buzzer-beater.

That’s makes two of us and as you know I’m a die hard Bulls fan. They just finally were able to put everything together versus a good team for what almost feels like the first time all season. I can only imagine if they had Ball, they may actually have a chance to win a couple games. Unfortunately I think this will be their only win. (Though I hope I’m wrong).

Total stats are almost identical, the big difference came from the free throw. 14/15 Bulls and 20/31 for the Bucks which percentage is almost the same as Game 1. Middleton going out is also a factor for the Bulls' win. This is getting frustrating as we see more players getting injured. It's part of the game but we don't want it to happen for a better playoffs experience.

While the eastern top seed failed to steal that game 2, it was Joel Embiid and the 76ers who took Raptors home by surprise with that buzzer-beater.    

He's hot and I think he knew it that's why he took the last shot. He had been heat-checking in the 4th quarter and most of Embiid's shots are out of the ordinary and yet it sinks in. IIRC, he did it twice at the same spot. One shot-clock expiring and the other the game-winner.

CJ and Ingram are working overtime to win if they continue to click working together the chance of winning more games while

Booker is out is quite possible. If I get you right, this series might extend maybe a possible game 6-7 just saying since NP already

have that confidence after winning game 2 in front of the Sun's crowd, possible to win another when playing at home and continue

to extend their chances, we never know what fate will take this newly formed squad.

Its a good thing that DeRozan, LaVine and Vucevic stepped up offensively and helped Demar in scoring.

I think the Bulls must think of a way to stop Giannis in scoring though it will be hard for them to stop him. Stopping him will be a big advantage for the Bulls and they might make an upset if that happens. Its quite unfortunate to see 2 big players of Bucks in Middleton and Portis getting injured. Middleton is a big piece for the Bucks offensively while Portis is a good defender inside the paint and can help in scoring as well.

While the eastern top seed failed to steal that game 2, it was Joel Embiid and the 76ers who took Raptors home by surprise with that buzzer-beater.    

I just hope that Coach Doc will not bust on this one after having a 3-0 lead or else he will be trending again online.
Its a surprise buzzer beater though and I thought the Raptors are winning on this one. This series will end in 5 games at most. Now the Raptors are in the same spot as they was when they have a 0-3 deficit against the Cavaliers with Lebron where they got swept at that time and they are the top seeded team.

This kind of injury always leaves us hanging, I also lost on my prediction today due to the fact that Giannis cannot handle up to the 4rth quarter without Middleton against the Bulls. In the meantime, I would not choose one of them in our mini prediction game on our local board before their 3rd game because as you said earlier it's really tricky to put your bet on them. Maybe after 3rd game, we can decide who to choose. As for the Nets vs Celtics earlier, it's completely different compared to their last game, the Celtics were completely dominant in their defensive strategy.
