2024 NBA Season

[Yaunfitda]

But we will have to see, the Warriors has gain the momentum already with back to back win and they are a good road team too so I wouldn't be surprised if they win a tough game 6 in the road will balloons going down.

I would love that. Yellow balloons flying in the Garden. I want to see how both Marcus Smart and Grant Williams faces and their reactions. They have too much green blood and pride in their veins.

Anyways. I expect Stephen Curry to bounce back after that low 16 point performance in game 5. Also Jayson Tatum after recording the highest total turnover is under pressure and he might play very well in game 6. This is just like a toss up game for me with GSW's momentum and the Celtics playing at home. But i'll be taking that +3.5 on GSW.        

Nope, I won't be talking that +3.5, instead I will go with ML and probably Warriors winning by 6+. Most of the Warriors wins are 10+ points, so there's a chance that they will win and the odds is good for them.

I'm still undecided, but if we look at the numbers, both of the teams winning are over 10 points and we haven't seen a game that is close and decided by 1-3 points.

But then again, Boston hasn't lost twice in a row, but it that trend was broken last game. So maybe the numbers are going to be stack against and the game might be closer than we think.

Would I like to see Wiggins win a Finals MVP award?  Hell yes.  Does he deserve it over Steph?  No.  

And I truly agree with that. I took the bet before the start of the Finals, it's also because of the fact that betting for Curry was not profitable at that time, (I think even now). So choosing another player that may have a chance next to him is Wiggins with x29.90. It's all about the money first. 
I can actually pull out my bet and claim a 1.2 profit but I think I will let it stay and see it through until the end of the series.
He had been consistent so I am having high hopes he can get it. They should win the game first.

I think it depends on the outcome of the succeeding games.

here's the scenario, if this series will reach 7 games and Wiggins will be the top scorer in the next 2 games, I think Wiggins will get the reward. however, there's always a risk because Curry will not likely have a bad 3 straight games.

[MK-74]

I think the result of last night's game showed the champion.
Unfortunately for Boston Celtics the game is ended. It is very difficult for them to get back.
I support Boston Celtics in the finals, but unfortunately  I have to be realistic.

Boston is gonna have to win game 6 at home, but I also feel like the Warriors won the series with the win last night.

Maybe yes, but my guess is this will be the last game. Golden State will win this match and they will be champions.

Well GSW needs to close out this game in the road. But looking at the odds, its the Celtics that are highly favored. So this game is going wire to wire I believed, so it's not going to be very easy for either side and it might boils down to heart, as to which wanted it more.

The odds will not affect my decision. My favorite at the moment is Golden State. I'm not saying for sure they'll win, but I will bet on them tomorrow night and share it here.

Wiggins is a great contributor and very helpful to the Warriors. However, Curry is still a top contender for the MVP finals award, even though he made 0 of 9 three-point field goal attempts in the last game. By the way, if Game 7 in this final series does happen, it would mean that the Celtics players like Brown and Tatum could also contend for the MVP finals award.

If they win this Finals, it's for sure gonna be on Curry's hand to be awarded, he really is doing it all he got to bring their team to victory. It will be a shame if this 34 yrs old guy that carry the team all the way to glory wouldn't get that title. For now, we need to see the game 6 outcome first if they can pull it off.

[darxiaomi]

Its really bad situation  now for Boston. I cant belive they still lose when Curry put a 0 of 9 in 3 points shoots. Also Wiggins shot 0/7 if i dont remember bad.

The MVP for the finals its always the same, goes to to star of the winning team. I never forget the steal to Manu Ginobili in one finals.

Stephen Curry will be the mvp of the finals.(My opinion) Curry has a great contribution to the team, we saw that in Game 4.
The other players are playing very well, but Curry is different.

The chances of the Warriors to close the series in Game 6 is indeed bigger and better as they're stats last game was quite different compared to the Celtics, the latter had a chance but they blew it and let the Warriors dominate them. They sure are great team but against the Warriors? They won't succeed as the Warriors is much more experienced when it comes to close games and they are already used in the intensity and remain calm despite of the situation.

Yes, Stephen Curry will be the MVP for sure and Andrew Wiggins too have a chance but as of now, he's still in the 2nd place following Curry and their points is wide enough though.

[minairia3]

Seriously, guys, I wanted to see game 7 between these two teams because so far they've been battling strong with each other. We don't see games like this more often in the future, whether you swift your opponent or you are the ones who get swift, that's just how the last NBA finals were but this time it is different they kept winning on each other and it is really good to see if the Boston Celtics will force game 7 to make it like the game of their life and whoever wins that game will be one of the legendary NBA players in the future.

Warriors are leading right now and there is going to be a game 7 between these two teams. It is going to be a great fight between these two teams in the upcoming games.

I am actually worried about Boston because they could not win even though players of Warriors did not do very well, I am talking about the most popular players. And I wonder how they will be able to win against the Warriors if these players start playing at their highest level. I agree and also don't have any doubt that these players are going to be legendary NBA players, especially whoever wins.

Fortunately, Klay Thompson was stepping too because he knows that Curry has done so much in his shoulder in the past 4 games, now it's his turn while Curry is quite having a bad night.

Thompson had a decent game, enough for him to be able to help the team to beat a good defensive Celtics team. Poole and GPII were both very effective as well, they protected their home court and had a good 4th quarter win like what happened in game 4. Warriors now is not a 3rd quarter team anymore, they have become a 4th quarter team in the last 2 games.

They made adjustments because they already made some mistakes when they secure the 3rd quarter last time as the Celtics were still lurking in the corner waiting to take the lead if the Warriors will commit a mistake, now they are also securing the 4th quarter so that the Celtics won't suddenly chase them out of nowhere and have a good run. Wise adjustments from an experienced team.

The MVP for the finals its always the same, goes to to star of the winning team. I never forget the steal to Manu Ginobili in one finals.

Currently, it's bad for Boston and I don't think they have ever lost back-to-back matches since January, right?

I thought they had a golden chance of winning this match because the Warriors did not have their star players performing really well.
Actually, they have performed badly judging by their standards. But still, Boston managed to lose that match. And it did not look good for Boston, especially in the first half.
They have started really bad and it was quite impossible to make a comeback from that situation.

Also for the fact that Curry struggle at that time its really not good to see how Celtics perform at that time because he will get dominated more if Curry hit his shot at that time. That's why the morale of Warriors is so high at this point and for sure game 6 will be more different as Curry is in revenge mode because for sure he want to lift up his performance to eliminate the doubts of his haters in 0 percentage 3 pointer made on game 5.

[passwordnow]

They're commendable on that hurry but still ended up losing, they can't just beat Warriors when they've got the momentum and they aren't able to stop them.

The good thing with the Warriors is they already know how to respond, they are already owning the 4th quarter which the Celtics have been winning before, with the Celtics having a big run in the 3rd quarter, the Warriors respond well in the 4th quarter with a 10-0 IIRC, and after that, the Celtics has not lead in the game anymore.

Yes, with the experience they've got. They know what to do and even the bench players are so damn good that the main starters can rely on them. That's how good they are. And by game 6, we don't know if this is going to end this whole great finals against the Celtics.
Or, if the Celtics will have that good performance once again and will break the two consecutive wins against the Warriors.

Yeah, it was like the team and the players are build the same. Even if you take out the starters, they can still call and make the same play over and over again and that's how good the Warriors throughout this season.

For the MVP nod, if the Warriors win, I'm sure that Steph will received the MVP nod. Wiggins is good, but I think that performance of Curry in game 4 do or die game is good enough for him to have it. One of the best performance we have seen from him in years.

Boston Celtics fans should just continue to cheer up for the team as the series is not over yet.

It's a rare situation where the Boston Celtics will suffer 3-game consecutive losses. The boost from the TD Garden's home crowd on Game 6 should give Celtics the momentum they need. Regardless of whether the Golden State Warriors will play well or not on that night, the Celtics will surely do everything to even the series and head straight to the decisive Game 7.

Ignore any analysis and just focus on staying with the Celtics until the end.

Don't give up Celtics fans as you have no choice but to do so.

For sure they do, the next game will be at TD Garden and it's their homecourt, they will defend it with all their might I guess. If they wouldn't cheer them up, it's like saying that it was over, they should have their morale intact as it's not over yet. The ball is round.

That is mainly the defense of Warriors at play, just because of that. Both teams are great at defense, but when Warriors are playing, they need to shut down Tatum, or just make sure that he is inefficient. I mean he can score 30, but if it is on 33% fg for example, that's fine. This is what we are talking about during defense, if warriors could keep doing that, then they can definitely win the last game and win the series.

The big difference is that they didn't do this for 2 games, there were players who played efficiently and contributed very well and the score was high for celtics, then warriors played great defense for 3 games and they kept them low hence why warriors scored a lot.

They always bounce back, that is what the fans said and their record tells it.
The Celtics will be at home and that's a great opportunity to tie the series while being boosted by the crowd filling them with more energy but they must play great defense to make that a reality.
On other NBA threads, the discussion was about the Game 6 Klay and I bet they know that too. Don't let it confuse them as there are chances this may become a Game 6 Curry or a Game 6 Wiggins. Defend everyone on the highest level for this is a do-or-die situation.

And we don't know how Steph will come up in this upcoming game 6,

He banks 43 points in TG Garden last game 4 and saves their ass from the risk of 1-3 standing, for sure he will again be tested and he needs to have that cheat mode to win this and win another world title. In terms of final MVP, personally Steph should have this one. He deserves the title.

I'm not so sure about that. The Celtics is in a very difficult situation now, especially that they were playing awfully from their last 2 games. That gives them a bad playing momentum. While the Warriors who's not also playing well throughout this season, with Draymond's awful changes from his game too, but they still manage to take the lead and are 1 win away for another ring.
As much as I want the Celtics to win, but I the Warriors now has a much higher percentage to win the Finals.
