For me I choose Cleveland Cavaliers.. They always make me happy when I'm watching them on the TV screen.. They always have to play as a one team, so that they're always get the wins at the last.

Im impressed with Utah Jazz Game 2 performance. After literally crashed during their Game 1 series against the Houston Rockets, they managed to erased all speculations that they can't stand against the No. 1 team in season standing this year. The series are now even. If Im not mistake, Rockets dominates all games between them and Jazz during season so it's really a surprised for me that they spoiled the momentum of Rockets even 2 of their key players James Harden and Chris Paul are having a good performance. Back to Salt Lake City at Game 3, Jazz surely have a much more confident.


On the other hand, Steph Curry will now back at starting lineup in their Game 3 match against the Pelicans later on. If you guys remember, Curry was come off the bench last game because according to him, he doesn't want to ruined the usual lineup of starters as it might affect the gameplay. But we saw opposite as things are just usual when he came in.

Anyways for sale. Bitcoin accepted lol.

Stephen Curry selling his house.
If he is indeed back for game three then you can see the New Orleans team saying bye bye in these playoffs. Because even without their leader they were having their way with Anthony Davis and the rest of the Pelicans bunch.

Also Toronto Raptors game is beginning an hour before the usual time of their games.
So starting in about 15 minutes. I think because it being a weekday and people don't want to stick around until midnight if they have overtime games anymore.
I could be wrong with the early start time but it is noticeable from all their other games beginning at 7pm est.

I have noticed that too when Conference Semi-Finals started. I didn't able to watched some of the games back then because I thought the tip-off time is still the usual time during the First Round 1. Anyways, if Game 3 will steal by the Golden State Warriors, no doubt we might sees a sweep.  But kudos to Anthony Davis, he is really dominant in every game. If only Cousins is present, somehow AD will not have to go solo always at the paint during defense.

Cavs @ Raptors currently on warm up phase. Around 5 minutes and the game will start now. If the game will end at the usual regulations and no such things as delay (and if Im not fall asleep lol), I can able to watched Sixers @ Celtics game from the start.

Wow Curry do already step on cryptocurrencies too thats sounds nice.

This is my main problem on following up games because it do usually happens or starts on dawn which most of the time im sleeping on those times which it ends up seeing replays and getting pissed when someone told me whos the winner that really pisses me of.

Game 3 with Warriors and Pelicans then i can already see the outcome.lol specially curry steps in.

Raptors got smoked by the Cavaliers again at home for the second straight game in a row.
They can not go to Cleveland and expect to win twice there to atleast tie it up to bring it back home.

Also for the article above describing Stephen Curry's home for sale. I did not see them accepting bitcoin for it.
The OP for that particular post said it as a joke.

Lebron literally put the Raptor's dream in line. Returning to there homecourt Cavs will make sure that they will end it there. Though, Cavs must not too complacent about a 2-0 lead. Everything can change all throughout the series but I must say that Lebron did really prove that he is the King. Not a Lebron fan but damn he is too good.


Boston had a 2-0 lead against Philadephia, the next 2 games will be held at Philly's court they must secure that games, 'coz if they slip and lose a game, they will return to Boston with a much heavier pressure on their side.

Boston proves that with or without Kyrie and Gordon they can still be a team to defeat in the east.

Boston is my team in the series because after I see them beat the Bucks I have already trusted them.
They are playing like a team and it's hard to beat a team when they have a good chemistry and every player has a confidence to make a play.

That was a huge win, congratulations, you did a good parlay with a good payout.

You are betting on the same team in game 3, I like the chances of the cavaliers because they are playing at home but I think the Celtics will be having
a problem on the road in a must win game for Philly, but anyway good luck.

Damn Philly. I thought they will get that win looking at how they perfected plays in the first half giving them a large lead.

Brent Brown got a lot of pride in his team or is it his ego. Their lead is already cut by a lot and yet he didnt call a time out. He let it be until Boston almost got the tie in the 3rd.

Coach decision should be for the team and not for himself. I am really disappointed on how it ends for I am vouching for them. If this continues 76ers will be swept away.

The payout will be less if he did bet on the Cavs next game since they are at home and their odds wouldn't be as much there against the Raps.
Boston I am surprised with such odds for them to beat the 76er's at home.
I would of put some btc on them to win because Brown is doing good and can't imagine them if they had Kyrie back in the line up.
They would dominate in the paint and see Philadelphia as just an wounded team to beat to move on to the next round in the playoffs.

I thought Philadelphia 76ers will owned Game 2. What happened to Ben Simmons, 1 point in 31 minutes. He must take this low performance game as inspiration to give his all at their next game. He is the missing link in that game as 5 of his teammates are on double digits. Gonna be a hard road for them if Celtics will managed to steal Game 3 and probably an exit to them at semi finals.

Ben Simmons says 1-point performance was result of 'overthinking

I guess it's not overthinking, but he is pressured. He must overcome that. He has a nice average during their series against the Miami Heat so he needs to be like that against the much stronger Celtics.


LeBron James put up a fade away party at the second half. At least 5 or 6 players from Toronto Raptors try to guard that fade away shot but LBJ still managed to  throw it down. Raptors are not playing well compare to Game 1. If that will not changed, they will suffer same result last year where they are swept during semi finals against the Cavs.

The only good thing about this is they are playing at the Boston home court unlike what is happening with the Raptors against Cleveland which could get a sweep. Again?  
Watched this and I was screaming like hell, if only Brett Brown could hear me. Call time out!! Damn you!!!
Lead from 21 then 15, then 12 then 9, then 2 until the buzzer and no freaking time out to settle down and talk to the team. I think he only called once and it is not at a good time.

The King really did it. But I find out one more thing about this Raptors team. There is no second team that could provide while Lowry and DeRozan are resting. None or just not given a chance.
Try to look at it again one more time and they are slowing down at 2nd half. Cavs made a lot of three pointers again thanks to the restless players. They really need to trust their 2nd team and let them play the game.

Toronto Raptors - Cleveland Cavaliers - Who will win? ▼   Toronto Raptors
Boston Celtics - Philadelphia 76ers - Who will win? ▼   Philadelphia 76ers
New Orleans Pelicans - Golden State Warriors - Who will win? ▼   Golden State Warriors

Bad bad prediction. With how the thing goes in the east, I think theres no Raptors and no 76ers competing agaisnt each other in the ECF. Do you expect Raptors to win against Lebron with the same roster and the same gameplay. In short, theres nothing new about this Raptor team, they still suck at playoffs. If they cant win game 3 they will be swept.

We cant still be sure if Raptors would able to hang on for the 3rd game but as you said if they wont able to make any counterplays against cavs and using the same gameplay where they do make use on Game 1 & 2 then theres no doubt game 3's outcome would really be just the same.It isnt still starting but basing out into their performance i do smell a swept here.

Wow Curry do already step on cryptocurrencies too thats sounds nice.

I have read some articles about the James fade away shot. Kevin Love told reporters that James already called it prior to the game. He said that James says that when ever there is a mismatch he will take that kind of shot. So it just shows how prepare James is to win the series against Toronto.

And speaking of Love, he did perform better in Game 2 that really help them win it. So its going to be a big battle for Toronto, in order to survived they have to at least win 1 game in Ohio. Going to be tough for them, but let's see, if they lose the third game they might as well say goodbye to their chances and might be a sweep again by the Cleveland team.

Ive been looking at with that article prior on the things you had mentioned here about Lebrons fade away shot do means that hes prepared.If thats the confidence and view of Lebron i think we can already see whos gonna be the winner on next games.

New Orleans is surpressing the Golden State Warriors tonight.
Even with Curry in the starting lineup he is ineffective and I don't think they lead at any point in the game.
Jrue Holiday is doing a good job on defense with those steals then dunks and Anthony Davis is leading in scoring.
So this will be their night to win a game in the series.

they are just out of sync

He came in and played in game 2. He was on the court for 18 minutes but wasn't a starter.
This game he was.
It is just Pelicans are strong defensive team and they were charged up at home. Rondo only had 4 points but he was killing them on the court, so scoring is not everything to winning. You got to defend to make those plays that effect the game in your favor.
Let's see what he does next game then you can say He is not out of sync.

What a fantastic game by Rondo, made double double and just dishing 21 assists.
That would only say that he has the ability to run a play and trust his teammates, he is the big factor why they win in this game.
I think game 4 is still a winnable situation for the Pelicans, I will try to back them again.

It is just off night for Steph tonight but definitely he will be back with a bang next game and kudos also to Rondo's playmaking ability that tows them the win.
