2025 NBA Season

[stadus]

All I can say to game a while ago between Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs, WHAT AN INTENSE GAME!

That kind of game is the one that most of the NBA fans like. A close game and we didn't know who will actually win until the end of regulations. What a close game and both teams really show some spectacular plays. And the highlights? A veteran block move by Manu Ginobilli rejecting James Harden for an attempt on a clutch win.

Looks like Im already watching the NBA finals with this kind of plays lol.

Teams in NBA finals plays better than them, I doubt if the Spurs can compete against the warriors this year if ever they will win against the rockets. Another loss for spurs backers because we are thinking they can dominate this game but the Rockets do cover the point spread, it's hard to gamble with your heart, it's proven now.

I understand your point but basically your reply is way too far to the one I posted.

Obviously we can expect that finals game are better than the current one. What do you think of their game earlier? Boring? Or you  just watch NBA score updates and didn't watched the whole game? Im talking about the game and not with their future match to Golden State Warriors if ever they will advance and passed the Houston Rockets.

Talking about the point spread, what numbers you seen before the game? IIRC I saw some +5 for them. Who the hell will not choose +5 handicap for Houston Rockets if we saw that their recent matches are really a close?

You're right the spread was sitting at +5 for the Houston Rockets. On other sportsbooks the lines did moved a little bit to 5.5 when it was near to tip off. I also took the handicap for the Spurs I thought they could cover the points easily because both teams have been winning more than 6pts.

San Antonio won today, I say San Antonio in 6.
They'll win one of the 2 matches in Houston and come back home 2-2, then win at home and make it 3-2. Houston's motivation and focus will be gone and they'll beat again in Houston and qualify 4-2.

SA Spurs won again today, May 9,2017. they played a very nice game today. i hope the momentum will still be the same next game so that they can beat the houston rockets. good luck.😊

This year’s edition of the playoffs has not been as exciting as the previous years, with more games being decided by blowouts and huge margins. Good thing that this Game 5 between the Spurs and Rockets turned out to be a thriller with the Rockets probably feeling that they let this one slip away because they couldn’t get the job done even if Kawhi was not able to play in the overtime. I am hoping that the Conference Finals wouldn’t lack the excitement that most of the playoff games we’ve seen.

Kawhi Leonard or the claw, the downtown brothers Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry, or the unstoppable LeBron James.
Well, the Eastern and western conference are packing things up. The Cleveland has a sure spot in the conference finals so does the golden state warriors. There are so many things and plays to consider on who will have a match up in the NBA finals. I think kawhi Leonard has the ability to guard LeBron but they will have to go pass through the Golden state warriors to do that ( not mentioning the beard is making them a hard time ).
Let's all see what will happen in the roll of the ball.

Yes, Kawhi Leonard can guard LeBron James. But how about his other teammates? Kyrie and Love is very hard to guard. I dont think Spurs's guards can keep up defend these two good players if ever they make it to the finals. Plus, Parker is injured. Its a bad timing for them. I hope coach Pov will do something about this. I want to see Spurs
On the other hand, GS have health and strong players. Also good bench players. Its a good match up if ever they reach the finals.

It's true that leonard can guard james, but i can also observe that other members of the spurs are good at defending and not just leonard. Especially at tough times just like ginobili defended harden during the last second. A teams toughness also can be measured by the clutch plays they could do just for the win.

GS even last year had good bench players that outplayed cavs last year and there was no big issues, and somehow coincedentaly cavs had good bench players and all the haters are saying that james is making his own superteam?. This is just crazy, it's just up to the coach on how he would utilize the bench players.

James is a different player, he is very special and whoever coach of the team he is with, he can do things to fire that coach, look what happen to David Blatt, they have a good record and it was unexpected that he will be fired. I heard a news also that James want to fire coach spo of Miami but the organization does not grant him so he return back to Cleveland.

James is just too confident to his own skills that's why he is ranting on their final games losses on regular season. James are too prideful on listening coaches advice thinking that he was so good and no need for coaching. I'm amaze on LBJ skill but his over confident attitude will just let him down. He just keep on appearing in finals because he always with a super team but he himself don't do anything once he is alone just like when he is on cavs on his past game.

Washington Wizards Vs Boston Celtics

Both teams have met in 8 games and all of them ended up in win for the home team. When I see the handicap offered by the bookmakers, it seems to be a trap to me. Celtics -4 at home looks good when they are playing at home and Celtics have won all games at home against the Wizards this season. The handicap is even lesser than the one offered in Game 1 and Game 2. I am going with the bookmakers and bet on Wizards +4.

What incredible game between San Antonio and Huston... I enjoyed every minute of it. To bad for Kauaj Lenard. If his injury is serious,it will be a huge problem for SA. If Parker is still off the out,Huston will have huge advantage in next game. However, both of the teams will be much more tired for conference final against Golden State. But again.most exciting game that I have seen in this play-off so far

I think this series turns out that Rockets is the favorites to win, line for game 6 is -7 for the rockets which is significantly high compared the -5.5 of the spurs at home. I am feeling this will be another blowout by the Rockets since Leonard will be playing with injury, game 7 is good more money for the organization so Rockets for me.

[ralle14]

I am going with the bookmakers and bet on Wizards +4.

You said celtics are good at home why not bet on them to win? Afaik the home advantage is on boston for tonight's match. I'm betting on them to win because for me it seems like whoever plays at home always have the upper hand. I tried fading the public before and it didn't end well for me. The line is also slowly shifting toward celtics now the point spread increased to +4.5 for the wizards. Goodluck.

Houston vs San Antonio is definitely the most beautiful series in these playoffs.
This series deserves to be decided on the seventh game.
Congratulations to Ginobili (39 years old) who was decisive in the last game for the victory of San Antonio. Fantastic his block-shoot at the last second on Harden's shot that could bring the game to the second overtime

[NewBet]

The last years two finalists have easily through to the semi-finals, I tink this year we will have another Cleveland Cavaliers vs Golden State Warriors, it's gonna be boring if this happen. Although I love see the underdog teams like Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets getting a shot to the final, but they don't seem to get there, they are struggling so much. Betting both Cavaliers and Warriors win to final, this is hot and most possible bet in this play-off.

Agreed. I hope Leonard is ok and can play in the next game. But it was Manu who sealed the win for San Antonio. That block was one for the ages. I also thought that that this series will be as good as the finals. Both teams has had advantage over the other, but San Antonio has the experience in this kind of game that's why they won.

[Baofeng]

I think Kawhi Leonard can play, but we don't know is that how the injury will affect his game. Specially they needed him very much to close out the series with Houston Rockets. This is his team, so if he less than 100 percent in the next game, then San Antonio's hope for a title run will suffer.

If Kawhi Leonard will play the Spurs winning power will become lesser. He is a big help to the team and we have seen on how he is playing well throughout the season and for this playoffs. But I guess the management of the team will not allow him to play if so then it can affect to his playing power, but I bet Spurs can make it.

Kawhi is not 100 percent so expect a non dominant performance for this guy, if the injury is really bothering him then why not just rest and save his energy for game 7 instead. For me, it's hard to gamble this time because he is the superstar of his team and he manage the offense, game 7 is the game that he must focus if he is not fully healthy.

[Yanisumin]

Cleveland is already in the final of his conference winning all the games played in the playoffs. Lebron James in the last match played 46:12 was practically always on the parquet.

Golden State and Cleveland are playing perfectly and we will surely see them in the final for the ring.

Houston vs. San Antonio and Washington vs Boston are 2 very balanced matches, I think the series will be decided in the seventh match

HOU 4-3  . I hope it reaches to that, such a good matchup.

No. Spurs has still the upper hand in this series. They can even complete the series if they gonna won the last 2 games. I still they will come back in the next game with a lot of effort on them to win the game and put the series to 3.-2. Leonard again will lead this Spurs team to victory and advance to the next round with the Golden State Warriors.

The scary part is that the best defensive player and star player of the spurs right now is injured with an ankle injury but rest assured he said that he will play in Game six. I just hope that the injury won’t decrease his efficiency. This is the road to finals and every injury is crucial, the opponent will take advantage of that not mentioning that the opponent is a MVP candidate.
They have the upper hand of course but the flow of the game is still blank. I’m glad that Manu Ginobli is playing at his best, I’ve not seen him play like that in a while. If the spurs win this run then their opponent is the unbelievably fast team and downtown guys Golden State warriors.
At the other conference I think when the Boston Celtics go toe to toe with the Cleveland they will give Cleveland a hard time.

Boston Celtics win game 5 with an impressive performance from the starters, I think this was a close game but after 2 consecutive loses they bounce back to beat the wizards routing them with 22 points. Thomas didn't score that much but he gets some reinforcement from his teammates when they needed the most, good game.

its better to see the team played together so defense will not look only for few key players but for the whole, both teams need to remember that the opponents waiting for them is the defending champion who's not willing to step down and will do everything to stay at the top. good luck to boston they need to show how they deserve being the number 1 in the east regular season.

They did it well tonight but there are still 1 game to go before they will face the cavaliers, I doubt if they have a chance with the cavaliers, their 3 point shooting can be defended and who can stop Lebron James in the paint if he will choose to drive most of the time.

What I notice in the this series is a high scoring games, that means they are not so focus with their defense unlike the warriors who can do both defense and offense very well.
