2025 NBA Season

[Caladonian]

There is an incredible performance difference between San Antonio and Golden State. From the very beginning of the golden state game, you can gain a great deal of pressure and dominate the game. I do not think San Antonio is a legend, we play a game with a lot of points.

Awesome performance really prevails with these both teams  and we can see the determinations they've excerted to bravely beat their opponents.  Even with the game pressure  they managed will with their skills to be stabilized, and avoiding terrified plays as normally felt by a player who handles the game well. I know in my mind that San antonio will do very well with the game but being a legend, nobody can really predict it in an exact phase of a gameplay.

Even how spurs really determine to win but with gsw firepowers its really hard for them without kawhi and parker which really play the big role for their attacks its a 15points lead now with only less than 4 minutes cant say what would be the fate of my team but still trying to fight back.

Yeah and i cant believe of what the odds are showing. I would just hope spurs can win at least 1 game. It would be a bad playoff run if they would end being swept by warriors. It really is bad when a star player is injured that cause imbalance to the gameplay of the spurs. Let's just hope kawhi can at least make it to game so at least he won't end the season disappointed of having not played in the most crucial time in there season.

The warriors made it, they are now leading with 3-0 in the series and I don't think the Spurs can still comeback even if Kawhi will play in game 4. As of today there was no information yet regarding Kawhi playing, if I'm pop I would not risk his health and just ruled him out for the rest of the series.

San Antonio Spurs vs Golden State Warriors WCF.

Patty Mills vs Steph Curry; I don't see Kawhi Leonard vs Steph Curry here. We all know that this is really a mismatch just by looking at the stats. But we can't just an assume that this guy will just go on easy. For Mills, he have to give his 100% defense to that Curry's high percentage of rainbow shooting. Curry, even contested or not, can bucket a 3's with his signature shooting stunt. He can easily drop it infront of Mills. Let's see how Mills will react to this while having an advice from Pop.

Danny Green vs Klay Thompson; This is somehow an equal matchup if we reset their stats and only includes team role. They are both deadly at 3's although Klay was most noticeable (we will disregard this factor for the moment). If both these guys become hot, their hands really will do those succesful shot. Although for GSW, with Durant on the floor, Klay's field goals attempts at any area in the court are minimized. Let's see what will be the scenario here.

Kawhi Leonard vs Kevin Durant; Kevin Durant obviously is the most athletic of this two but the idea of their performance is just the same. I don't see Leonard can defend Durant all the time that's why they must cover this hole. On the other hand, GSW must contain Leonard as this is one of the deadliest shooter in NBA today as we seen in his recent performance.

My own thoughts. Few hours from now and Game 1 will begin.

Well the spurs dominated the warriors until mid end of 3rd quarter but damn it gives me a heartache on that leonard injury. It completely changed the pace of the spurs. If only not for pachulia stepping on leonard landing. Warriors would've lost that game and they'd be 8-1 on the playoffs. This clearly is the reason why the spurs is still dominant in the west even though warriors got 4 superstars in their team. For me that is not a win that you can brag. Totally ridiculous.

Let's give game 1 to the warriors, that was really unfortunate of Kawhi, I hope his condition is not serious enough and he could still play in game 2.
People are really expecting that the warriors will dominate here but it was a different outcome, the Spurs is not playing a slow pace games anymore, they were able to match the warriors and they dominated int he inside, i hope Leonard will be back in game 2 so he can help Aldridge steal 1 game on the road.

It's a shocker for me. Warriors came back from 25 to take Game 1 from Spurs, winning 113-111. Also my thoughts on the Leonard injury. He was really player amazing up until that unfateful injury. I hope that injury is not that serious so that he can play in game 2. Because without him, I think GSW is a sure to go to the NBA finals once again.

The thing is many people and experts and other NBA player said that Kawhi Leonard's injury is intentional. I mean is we can see from the angle that ZaZa extend his feet to Khawi landing place, leading to spurs momentum to shatter and loss in the end. Well its not that its just a game ang injury is common, but dirty plays is anotger story. Khawi is a really humble player and despite that injury he has faith in his teammates that they will win the conference finals. I hope that Kawhi can play in Game 3 and destroy the overrated team ( GS ) in the series.

IMHO. Zaza made an intentional foul play even though he is not facing on kawhi that time, By the slow motion replay, He intentionally extend his leg on the landing area of kawhi foot even though it is not necessary for him to extend just to run and go for the rebound. I think he is aware on what will gonna happened after he extend his legs that's why he quickly run right after kawhi foots land on his foot. Kawhi will be out for two game or more because his injury is serious.  Pachulia is the real MVP for that game. LMAO.

That's exactly what I'm trying to say. Well even some people who watched it live really frustrated on what happened there because it was really intentional. Not mentioning Zaza record on other player.

"Ask David West, his current teammate, how things went when Zaza was playing for Dallas, and he and David got into it. And then think about the history [Zaza has] had, and what that means to a team...what happened last night. A totally unnnatural closeout that the league has outlawed, years ago, and pays great attention to. And Kawhi's not there. And you want to know how we feel about it? You want to know if that lessens our chances or not? We're playing very possibly the best team in the league—you know, we don't know what's going to happen in the East. And 9.75 people out of 10 will figure the Warriors will beat the Spurs. You know, we've had a pretty damn good season, we've played fairly well in the Playoffs. I think we're getting better. We were up 23 points in the third quarter, against Golden State, and Kawhi goes down. Like that. And you want to know if our chances are less, and you want to know how we feel? That's how we feel."

Coach Pop addresses the media.

[Shinpako09]

I'm a GSW fan but I'm not liking what Zaza did. I would be more happy if there is Kawhi on the floor and playing. Zaza doesn't need to do that, they are strong team. I really don't like a dirty play just to win. Aren't you believe in yourself and your team mates capability to do such thing. The entertaining game I was expecting with this too has gone.

Golden State and Cleveland are far superior to other teams.
These playoffs are without story. Both will win 12-0. We hope to see at least a balanced final.

Boston Celtics Vs Cleveland Cavaliers

Cavaliers are back at home court after their first 2 away games at Boston. There is a good chance that Cavaliers will blowout the Celtics as Celtics will be missing Isaiah Thomas due to injury and the Cavaliers have already blown out the Celtics at Boston. The Celtics have very low morale and I see them losing by over 20 points in Game 3. My bet is on Cavaliers -16.

[jossiel]

So Golden State Warriors now is leading their ties with Spurs and this is going to be another history with the NBA league.

And for sure the game of Cavaliers vs Boston is going to be a sure win and this will be both a 4-0 for both conference.

I can't wait to see the game against Cavs and GSW in the finals.

Both Team (warriors and cavaliers) will end the series in their respective division with a sweep, that was a history I guess, correct me if I'm wrong.
Warriors and the Cavaliers are both lucky because they are battling a team with injured superstars, so for us fans to see a more exciting game, let's hope to see a healthy squad for both teams.

[Dmitry.Vastov]

Ouch! Spurs is undermanned team and another player was injured. Who's next? Looks like the team were cursed. Also their shooting was salty especially on Aldridge. Be should be the who score even more because he is really good on shooting. He missed a lot and eventually lose his composure. I believe the rematch between GS and Cavs is possible.

[bhadz]

I don't know if that is for real, I read out a news on the facebook that Coach Pop announces that Kawhi is not going to play for the next match. This will be hard for them and I searched it out through google if that news is for real. And I found this one  http://www.nba.com/article/2017/05/20/san-antonio-spurs-kawhi-leonard-ankle-out-game-3-warriors-ap Good luck Spurs.

I think Leonard will likely sit the entire series with Golden State. He don't need to pressure himself otherwise the injury might get worst. They just have to look at the future and not this series with Golden State or this year championship. You rather concede this series with them, go back healthy next year, rather than pushing yourself, aggravated yourself and be out till next season or worst your career getting over.

12 points lead made by the Golden State Warriors. Look on how the team of Spurs managed to fight against the GSW. Though they played without Kawhi Leonard. And there's another player that has a knee injury that is David Lee. This is really bad for the whole Spurs team and I don't think they can sweep GSW just to be able to get into the finals.

[Kimi80]

It is just impossible for SA to play against this GSW team. Especially with all the problems with their key player injuries. Golden State has to many options in offence. I personally was surprised with McGees offensive performance at the beginning of the match, but everything else was pretty expected. I thought that they could play a bit tighter game but clearly was wrong..

I will say that San Antonio should say bye-bye for the NBA crown for this year. This is not their year. Well it really pain to see how your season will ended with GSW sweeping them but they have to face it. It looks like the team is cursed because David Lee was injured as well.

Golden State Warriors vs Cleveland Cavaliers is pretty obvious, considering GSW's serie is 3-0 and after the 40+ points win by CC.

But who will be the winner in the series?

[passwordnow]

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks Most Improved Player

Woah, I thought that no one will notice Giannis. He is one of my pick and he surely has a great future with his career. If there will be more team mates that will bring to Bucks that will be able to be his tandem, he can improve more. But I know he can adopt and play well already with his current squad.

What do you think about Nikola Jokic as most improved player of the year? He was great this season. Do you think if he has any chance to win that price?

[Ziskinberg]

Woah, I thought that no one will notice Giannis. He is one of my pick and he surely has a great future with his career. If there will be more team mates that will bring to Bucks that will be able to be his tandem, he can improve more. But I know he can adopt and play well already with his current squad.

Bucks are still a young team despite making it to the playoffs, they lack experience but they need to continue developing that culture so they can win and be successful in the future to come. I remember when Durant and Westbrook started with OKC, they are a shitty team and until they started to reach the playoffs they improve and their greatest achievement was to play the Heat in the NBA Finals.
