2024 NBA Season

[ActiveP]

When kevin durant joined the warriors in the offseason, everybody knew they would end up in the finals.

Now we're here, and to no one's surprise, golden state reached the finals for a third straight year and are considered heavy favorites to win it.

No one has more to lose than KD, who left a contender to join a powerhouse.

The warriors have already won a title without durant so all the pressure is on him, who in his one and only trip to the  finals in 2012 lost to lebron and the miami heat.

It will be all revenge for both the warriors and Durant, they lose to the Heat in 2012 Finals and not even a long series, now he has to show what he got or else everything he sacrifices will become useless. This is good for the Cavaliers backers since they are the depending champion and yet they are heavy underdog in this series, if the cavaliers will win in game 1, it will surely change the line.

The finals are among us, with 2 top teams in NBA right now IMO.. The only disadvantage to that how boring and routine their road to the final was, winning all games in their series but one and not being on the brink of elimination at all.. The finals should compensate us though..
GSW is the favorite for me, even if LB and KI and Love played good, if it's not through the series the consistent, excellent in all areas GSW will crush them.

[Buerra]

I dont have so much information about NBA. But sometimes i like to watch it from tv. GSW is the best team for me.

well you better watch out your favorite team as they will now tried to bounced back and regain the title with KD its different story now for gsw even if we will see the battle of the outside game for sure both coaches will look for their advantage whoever win this series is really deserving to have the title. good luck

Yes they are really deserving to win both team are very competitive the GSW has the homecourt advantage in this series. I hope my bet in game 1 win my bet is for GSW. Go go go.

i'd go with gsw as well perhaps in three games. we can say that both teams are evenly matched with no major injuries hounding the key players but with the addition of kd from the already potent warriors team, this may be entirely different from last years finals fluke. the warriors swept the west playoffs which for me is a lot more challneging than th east, and that would tell us a lot about how strong this team is right now

Good thing Golden State Warriors was the most favorable team to win at all sportsbooking site. Cleveland Cavaliers are having a big odds and chance for me to grab it. Just bet now for the NBA outrights for Cavaliers and thinking of placing too at the Game 1. I believe that Cavaliers can dominate the powerhouse team in the NBA and will #defendtheland.

Hopefully I can repeat my big profit win like last NBA finals because Golden State Warriors blew a 3-1 lead.

Cavaliers is definitely got some monstrous strength on the inside, LeBron James and Tristan Thompson will serve as a unscraping wall of the rim. Cleveland cavaliers have that advantage on the inside and it's a bad sign for the golden state if they are missing their shots. The advantage of the golden state is it's past transition and quick isolation, they will dominate the outside of course, not mentioning Klay Thompson when he is in the zone.

The game is on Fri, 2 Jun, 9:00 AM
Oracle Arena, Oakland

Let's see who will take game 1.

well draymond green and iggy will try to defend the rim for gsw and the three shooters will take care of their offense, if durant will play harder i guess they have the advantage as we knew how curry and thompson played inside their crowd but still the finals will be depend to the team which really hunger and dedicated to win it. good luck

Iguadala may have a chance on guarding James but it is when Kevin Love and Irving is not healthy. Cleveland is different now especially love is on his best plays that almost 7 footer guy is hard to guard on the outside. It will be a gamble if they will double team James.

Its gonna be a exciting Game 1. I think this Game 1 will dictate how the series will goes. Who's guarding who, how Durant will play out in his first NBA championship, will Lebron guard him, will he guard James and so on. But this time, if GSW gets a 3-1 lead, I think they will hold on it and try to finish Cavaliers. But I guess this year's final is different and can't compare it to last year.

We won't know for sure who will take the finals, whoever hold the lead even if it is 3-1 the championship is still not guaranteed, it happened last year and might happen again. Durant is hungry for championship, if he is not nervous in his shots then he might out a dent on Cleveland's surface.

Agreed, while the Warriors are the favorite team at the Oracle I think the key factor here (besides Lebron James) would be how well both Thompson and Kevin Love perform. We've seen the damage the Spurs did on those first 3 quarters before Leonard went out. I feel that if the Cavs can dominate the paint, Lebron and Irving could be very hard to contain.

Of course the Warriors have lethal weapons on the offense end and that could create a lot of trouble for Cleveland too, but last year the shooters went cold, sometimes accuracy is not there and you have to scrap your way out.

That's because shooting behind the arc with a little shake of had won't go in, we've seen that last year's ( factor is the defence is so good ). Kevin Love is a tenacious rebounder and a very good shooter, and he is stronger than Thompson. It will be a war inside the paint and Irving and curry will have a showdown (Irving's acrobatic shots vs Curry's fast layups and bumps).

On the other hand it will be a different story when Leonard is healthy. The Spurs might be the one who will face the Cleveland now. Leonard's defensive ability can lock down even LeBron and can collapse a teams isolations. His fadeaways and fakes is essential in crucial games. That man is a beast.

That's not gonna be easy for them to  sweep 4-0. Cavs are strong and have healthy players. Plus new additions of players which able to match the strength of their bench players. For me its gonna 4-2 for Golden State. This is revenge for Golden State. Durant i think is the key here. He is tough to defend because of his outside shooting and good finishing. Also GS is good on transition play. They should do that often.

Both teams are strong and well rested. It will be a long series. I am expecting game 7 on this one. For me, it will be cavs 4-3. I do not usually support cavs but I have seen how improved they are right now. They have better outside shooting now and good defense. Durant will have a hard time doing what he normally do.

Extending to game 7 would be awesome. At least we can get our money's worth and the NBA champion will be decided on the last game. I really don't know we will win this time, its hard to predict. I will just enjoy the game while it last. Superstars bringing their A-game. And bench players making a intangible contribution. NBA fever mania is all over globally with both teams play game 1.

Injuries and fatigue will be a non-factor these series so there's a lot of anticipation since both teams arrive at this stage at the top of their game and playing the best basketball of the season. I think Durant won't be as important as some as you mentioned, especially because he seems to disappear at big stages like these and I'm not sure if he can handle the pressure with this new team. I've also not be very impressed by him all season, he's of course a great addition but still give me doubts.

The key factor would be the Warriors shooting and bench production (Livingston for example is not the same as past years) and Cleveland rebounding/defense and Love/Thompson performance. We all know Lebron, Curry, Irving will have great series and we know what they are capable of but is the other guys who will make a difference.

I dont have so much information about NBA. But sometimes i like to watch it from tv. GSW is the best team for me.

Even you don't have enough information about it. You can just watch out your favorite team play against it's rival the Cleveland Cavaliers. The schedule will be on Friday this coming June 2. Stay tune for your favorite team because this is now the finals. And many are waiting for this game as this will be the final game for this season.

Believe the Land. Go Cavaliers Beat the Warriors in Golden State Home! TAKE THE RISK !!!

[Yanisumin]

So another Golden State year?
I don't think that the amazing comeback that happen last year would be happening again, Golden State Warriors seem to be stronger then ever.
I would bet that the series ends at 4-2 for golden state, let's see what the odds are going to be
 

Golden State has a power force right now and it is Durant, but they've got weakened on the inside and I think Cavs will take advantage of that. Draymond green is tough but not enough to support golden states rebound. With a Love on the outside and sometimes inside they are going to be a hard time isolating on the arc.

Durant could tip the scale in favor of golden state. He's the only solid player golden state has that won't succumb to mental inconsistency which has plagued that team in championship games. Golden state has a tendency to be wishy washy and unreliable when things get tough. Durant could be the anchor they need to keep them grounded.

Right. The coldness of hands of curry and other players in the last year's finals gave a decisive blow to them. Kevin durant consistency is still unknown because it is his first road to the championship, his plays is a viral part of a victory. On the other hand LeBron James is still a monster in finals, Kyrie has the mamba mantality. This will be a bloody hell.

Believe the Land. Go Cavaliers Beat the Warriors in Golden State Home! TAKE THE RISK !!!

Good luck on your bets mate, I just can't follow your bet because the warriors played really good at home and they are hot entering the Finals.
Having a perfect record going to the finals is hard to beat, the momentum is their and I will not fade the warriors this time, I will go with the trend until it's over.

[Johnny00]

Good luck as well. I like the cavs +7. Have to take the dog. Warriors might blow the out. It just depends who the hit three pointers will be

Both teams are having a good shooting percentage so I will not only consider betting on the point spread, I like to bet on the over as well.
Game 1 is the most exciting part of the series because there are plenty of speculation and as a fan we are bias with our predictions because we always want to see our team dominating the opponent and game 1 is in favor of the warriors since it is played at their home court.

Exactly, We can't avoid to become bias in prediction once there is our favorite team in the choices unless we can clearly see the difference in skills of each team, But for me since I'm a big fan of Spurs, My prediction for the game is in favor with GSW, They have the home court advantage and more rest compared to cavs since GSW is still undefeated when playoffs start. GSW also are very eager to revenge to the team that take away from them the grand slam opportunity last year.

good point mate i think they will be more hungrier with durant addition everyone really eyeing that gsw will be able to grab this series, i'm just a spectator here and i will just place my bets when the live game started, let see who will crab the title this time and will continue its journey towards becoming a new sensation team of this era.

Well they have good 3 pointers but it's really hard for me to analyze this upcoming match as they are both known as a good team.

Maybe our predictions and analysis will be accurate and maybe not. I just can't wait to see this match very soon.

I'm tuning in and very excited while reading everyone's opinion about this.
