2024 NBA Season

[Oasisman]

Grizzlies came out great winning a game at a big blowout against the Warriors. 50+ lead that was just cut at the end of garbage time.

I missed this game today, coz when I checked the score board there was a huge lead already at the end of the 3rd quarter. So, I guess watching the whole 4Q would just be a waste of time lol.
I'm afraid this is going to be a GSW vs Cavs type of comeback. A 3-1 comeback since the Grizzlies have improved their offense since they lost Ja Morant for the rest of the series, and they tend to play better when Ja is not playing. It was already proven in the regular season.
Are the Grizzlies really that good without Ja? Man, this 2nd round series from either Boston/Bucks and GSW/Grizz is getting interesting.

That was just a heartbreaking loss for the Boston Celtics since they were up to 10+ points in the 4th quarter but they can't stop the 100% threes of the Milwaukee Bucks in the 4th quarter which dramatically cut the lead and in the last minutes, it was really a playoff game that we were excited about, the pressure, the excitement and the intelligent play in gathered there. Giannis is bloody but still managed to score big time and finally, it was Jrue Holiday again who play well both offense and defense were impressive and he just shut down the entire Celtics in their homecourt.

How the hell did Celtics lost that game? I mean with 4 minutes left they are still in front like 6 points and lost by 3?

I went out thinking that the Celtics has this one in the bag, homecourt advantage, plus a good lead and it seems that the Bucks are crumbling under pressure. But when I come back to see the score, was surprised of the turn of event. So yeah this is a heartbreaking lost and I don't know if they can recover from it.

As the OP said, it was real hardcore playoff action we have witnessed. Even though I personally don't like Bucks so much, I have to admit they played so good and I respect them a lot. They were so good at the clutch and scored those threes like it was nothing. And in front of Celtic crowd also. Big respect! Celtics also panicked so much and made so many turnovers in the last minutes. We can see it as Bucks had a solid defence too. It was one of those classic hardcore playoff action. And Giannis is just crazy. What a memorable performance again. Also during the clutch time.

Giannis missed the FT that could have tied the game, but that missed gave then an advantage as they got the rebound and they made the shot to give them a 1 point lead, and after that, Holiday Blocked Smart shot and he was smart enough to through the ball to smart so he'll be the last touch, everything went well for the Bucks that game, they were great.

Giannis and his team didn't panic even as they were playing against the crowd. They just focus and try

to win the game and they just did. It was Boston who supposedly controlling the game but sad to say they are the one who
panic and made that turnover.

No offense but it was a great game between these two squad, at the end of the series only one team can advance to the ECF
and Buck is much closer now. They will be playing at home and will try everything to end this one.

[Natalim]

Bucks defense and second chance points from their offensive rebounds made the come from behind win possible. They should also thank Marcus (not so) Smart Bucks will end this in 6 but goodluck to those who still think Celtics will force a game 7.

I thought Celtics would already win because they were controlling the game, but suddenly they allow the Bucks to come back and Celitcs forgot how to defend. Bucks showed there the heart of a champion, it wasn't only Giannis who work, holiday and Portis did their job and Pat Connaughton showed some consistency on his 3 point shooting and defense as well.

Grizzlies vs. Warriors just started. GSW should be able to finish the job in 5.

They failed to do that, they lose by a huge margin. It was a blowout win by the Memphis.

Yes, it's a waste of time to look at the highlights too. I watched the full game live, they benched Steph, Draymond, and Klay at somewhere 7 minutes left in the 3rd quarter with the Grizzlies having a humungous lead. Talk about giving up the game too early, this is the earliest that I have seen and it's in the damn playoffs/semis which ain't cool.

The Celtics vs Bucks though is not to be missed. Better watch the whole replay and you will surely be entertained. Jrue Holiday schooling defense to the Defensive Player of the Year.

I am not shocked that Sixers lost this game but the series is far from over. The series is at 3-2 right now and the next game could be sixers win, which will take to the game 7 and anything could happen in all 7th games that has played and will be played.

So, I wouldn't really bet on Heat to win right away, or at least see that as an easy win for the time being, if the odds are good then you can wager, but if they are giving low odds where you gamble, then it wouldn't really worth it.

Coming from a dominant Game 1 and Game 2, Miami Heat becomes worst in Game 3 and Game 4 playing in the Sixers arena. We can expect that they will have the same status next game as the Sixers are really pumped up in front of their home crowd and it's hard to counter their momentum.

I will give a 70% chance that their series will be even the next game and a Game 7 will happen back in the Miami Heat's home arena.

But unfortunately for the Sixers, the Heat will finish them up in Game 7 and I will give 90% chance for that to happen.

The new improve Miami is very unpredictable, they can win even in a road game. Very tough call for bettors, personally I will

try to watch the live game before deciding to bet either for the home team or Miami. The last game between them was being dominated

by Miami, though you are also right in terms of Sixers when playing in front of their crowd. Maybe they've got something to counter

Miami's attacks and play tough defense to limit the productions of both Butler and Bam.

They have not won a home game yet this series, so I believe 76ers will come out and play hard to even the series. A game 7 is good for the league, both Mavericks and 76ers will win the game tomorrow, and we will have an unpredictable series.

It make me wonder that they push the series to go on game 6 so that they could sell more tickets.  . But anyways maybe Grizzlies is so lucky to have perfect execution on that game so I guess its time for Warriors to step up since if Grizzlies can still upset them on their next game provably the momentum will taken from them and Grizzlies will move to another round.

With that huge lead, I think its best to just let them out and be ready for Game 6 instead of playing out there when they know already that there is no chance for them in winning in Game 5 and worse they might get their injury if they will still play. I don't consider it giving up for me but its part of their strategy to be ready for Game 6 .

I thought that the Warriors will finish it in road but it seems that I underestimated the Grizzlies team too much. Well, they are 20-5 when Morant isn't playing so it just shows that anybody can step up offensively and be the leading scorer of the team. This will not be like the Warriors-Cavs where the GSW blew up their 3-1 lead to lose in the NBA Finals for me.

Pretty good game last night between the Bucks and Celtics. I’m pretty confident the Bucks are going to take that series down and of course the differentiating factor being Giannas. When a team has a mega star like that it’s just too hard to get past them. On the other hand the Warriors have two mega stars and I can’t believe that game last night holy shit lol. They’ll be fine though.

The Bucks are really struggling with the Celtics tight defense that's why they can't really get a good lead and have a successful rally as Horford and Tatum was always around every corner where the most shooters will go, while Brown is the one who attacks. But when it comes to last few minutes, it is really undeniable that the Bucks are the one who can handle the pressures more instead of the Celtics despite of their homecourt advantage and defense strategies. I expect that the Celtics will still win but the Bucks bounced again.

Grizzlies had a very important game last night. If they lost the fifth game of the series, then it was going to be their end in the playoffs. But I started to believe in them to bring the score to 3-2 even in the absence of Ja Morant. And they did it! It was even a huge victory by 134-95 too. I think that even this shows how great Grizzlies can play as a team even though they have a very important player missing.

Morant has been absent in many games in the regular season, so I'm not surprised that Memphis now are playing very well. That game 5 was a massacre and Warriors have no answer from the aggressive offense of the Memphis. This series is getting more exciting now, if Warriors lose game 6, then the edge is on the Memphis to win. 

[barbara44]

I definitely did not expected Grizzlies to win that big, I mean of course any team could win, and that wouldn't be a shock if Memphis wins, that's normal, but to win by 40 points is a big deal, they did this to Warriors who everyone said that they are basically back to their amazing selves, so to beat them by 40 points is not just one win, but it also shows that this isn't the same Warriors of few years ago.

To think that 2015 where their first victory (iggy fmvp year) happened 7 years ago makes me feel old. Bucks winning definitely helps their case for a repeat as well, Celtics is one of the best in the east right now and beating them is definitely a big deal.

Yeah, still the reigning champion time to shine this playoff. When you thought that they are out already, comes Giannis again. Him and Horford had a great battle, and Giannis accepted the Giannis, the bad thing is the Horford and the rest of the Celtics really wake up the giant in Giannis and literally carry again the team in his shoulder. If he can get past the Celtics, there is no question that Giannis is the next big star of the league as he always raised his game during playoffs.

It was a disaster for the Warriors, they should have close the Memphis, not they give them a fresh leashed on life. That was a huge win and hopefully the Warriors can bounce back from that. They still have Curry though, they have the experience to win this series.

Celtics choking against Giannis monster game, no one can really stop him. They are successful early, but when it's crunch time, this great players shows what they are made of.

In game 4 it was Bucks that choked in the game, now they are even. LOL
Anyway, the series is not over yet, Celtics are still a dangerous team because if they can win game 6, they can win the series in game 7.

I would not be too complacent though I have my bet on the Bucks to win the series, I took it when they were the underdog and I feel good now.

We didn't see that coming, everyone thought that this will be the final game of the series between the Warriors and the Grizzlies.

But when you look at the score, it's not even close, just the 3rd quarter points that Memphis score? that's truly an impressive display on firepower. Nevertheless, I still think that the Warriors are going to win and it will be a struggle for Memphis because of Ja Morant's absence.

[dwyane36]

They have not won a home game yet this series, so I believe 76ers will come out and play hard to even the series. A game 7 is good for the league, both Mavericks and 76ers will win the game tomorrow, and we will have an unpredictable series.

Yeah, the Heat haven't won an away game in this series, but they won by 35 points just by destroying the 76ers in the previous match. So if the Heat performs as well tonight, it's unlikely that the 76ers will be helped by home-court advantage. Same with the Mavs, they lost to the Suns by 30 points in their previous match. To be honest, I expect we'll only see game 7 in the Celtics vs. Bucks series, while other teams will most likely finish the second round in 6 games.
