2024 NBA Season

[LogitechMouse]

Raptors are an embarrassment. Derrozen has to be traded. Playoff choker.

We can't blame them but the expectation that they will be able to reach the finals.
But look on how they was kicked off by the Cavs. The league has been always unpredictable, they are good with the elimination and start of the season but they lose in the end.

Only one answer for all of that to change. Shuffle their roster.
It is okay for DeRozan to stay but he needs someone to boosts his game.
A center or a good forward good make it happen. Something is really missing with that team. It is like they are agile with every game but lacks the confidence unlike Cavs. You can see confidence with them overflowing.

I agree with this. The raptors need to shuffle their roster and they need a player who can match Lebron in one-on-one even in defense only. In these past playoffs, the raptors always lost to the Cavs because they don't have that player who can guard LBJ.

Their star players will remain in the team, they just need to shuffle it for the next season and they need a person who can guard LBJ and they have a chance in winning against them.

Valenciunas is quite a good center with his height advantage and great footwork in the post. Their young recruits even have a good game. Derozan needs to step up, because it seems like he's being intimidated by the Cavs defense as they have played for the past 3 years with the same outcome.
The superstar's role is very essential with the team. He's presence mustve build a confidence with their game.

Congrats to Cavs, fanboys can go out now.  

Conf. Finals bracket.
Cleveland vs Boston
Rockets vs Golden State Warrior

Cavs is just waiting while the other three has remaining games. What a coincidence these teams Boston, Rockets and GSW standing is 3-1.

Toronto Raptors now holds the biggest margin of defeat by lower seed as a no.1 seed in NBA elimination game history.

Good start but bad ending. 

By making it to the conference finals, I believe that the Cavaliers have already surpassed the expectations of most of their critics and even if they lose against the Boston Celtics I don’t think it will be a tarnish to their names whatsoever.

Forget about those past lose.
What's important is the present and they are able to surpass those critics and teams that they have to. They'll not play as reckless as before as this is now the decision games if they'll be leading to the finals for this season.

So you think they can get over Celtics as well? If that happens then it could be accomplish of sort to Lebron. 3 successful finals appearance since he return to the Cavs uniform and 1 championship ring to go with it. Its really hard for him to win against either Golden State or Houston. But before we talk of them going to the championship, lets see if they can sweep Toronto and they get over the C's.

So, you think Celtics can win against the Cavs without their 2 superstars? If they do, then thats awsome! But sorry the chances are very slim. Raptors should've defeated the Celtics if they happened to be in the same bracket. Raptors was the only threat to the Cavs after Hayward and Kyrie injury.
Only thing I could agree with you is that, The Cavs will surely have a slim chance to win against GSW, but that doesnt mean they'll not gonna put a tough match up against them.
Before we talkin about the finals, lets head first to the exciting WCF GSW vs. Houston Rockets. Tough match up, good time to place a bet.

Of course everyone has equal chance here. Eventhough that Lebron is really playing good, if the support team will be check, (Love, Korver, Jr) it will be difficult for the Cavs to win. So if I will put that strategy if I'm the coach. Let Bron do his thing, but shut down its support cast. Let's see if GSW and Rockets can "officially" beat their respective opponents to set a final showdown.

I'm sorry to say but DeRozan is not a superstar but a Class B player. He was just lucky we has given a break in Toronto, but when push comes to shove, he chokes out. That's why when they lose game 2, I say that they are pretty much done going into Cavs home court. He's a non-factor in game 3 as the coach decided to bench him and then game 4 was a blowout.

[Ziskinberg]

Houston won and advance in the western conference finals, Chris Paul and Donovan Mitchell is playing like crazy but in the remaining
minutes in the 4th Donovan was injured that is why they were left behind. I am excited to see the Warriors against the Rockets in the Western
Finals, which team is the favorites here?

[Reid]

Watching GSW not versus Pelican. I bet Draymond Green will be really exhausted in this game.
Doing all the job inside, stopping Davis doing defense and also getting the rebound for a team. I just hope Steve Kerr will realize that.
He keeps on moving and doing box out just so Davis cannot get another offensive rebound.
Every possession should be worth the defense and the rebound.

29 GSW 26 Pelicans 1st quarter.

Warriors is a good team so just believe they can win, of course they see that and I am sure they'll adjust.
They understand how important is this game, it's a close out game and I know it's hard but they are at home and they are all healthy.

Current update
7 mins left for 2nd half
GSW 41- NOP  32

You would really able to see how davis is trying to suppress the gap  against  Warriors. Curry is already heating up and green is doing well under the basket  even thought its tough he can still handle it. Biggest lead as of night is on 11 points.

Warriors win the game and they will clinch their spot into the Western Conference Finals and face Houston Rockets. Now this is where the Warriors test if they will go into the NBA Finals again for the 4th time because the rockets have been great this season with the new additional players in their team especially CP3.

I'm a warrior fan and also I like rockets to win but I will go with the warriors maybe 6-7 games for me in my prediction. I'm also thinking of Warriors - Cavs part 4 this season because the celtics are short handed right now but they are strong even they don't have their star players. Lets see in the succeeding days who are going to face the Finals

[harizen]

All Golden State Warriors starters shows a good performance. When they are like that, they are really deadly. Still kudos to Anthony Davis for his wonderful playoff run. He is dominant throughout the whole playoffs.

So that's it. Western Conference Finals are between the top 1 and 2 of this conference.

So hard to speculate at this game so for me , I will avoid taking Moneyline at this series but rather take the option of betting in Over/Under points. Taking also handicap is not a good idea. Well still depends on the gambler itself.

Most analysis predicts that it's GSW by 6. Let's see how this will end.

[Shinpako09]

Davis is really trying his best but he lacks of team mates as dominant as the Warriors. Can't wait for HOU vs GSW. We can't deny that Rockets is currently one of the best team in the league but I guess if they can't stop the hot shooting of GSW starters, they are tilted. Obviously, GSW is the favorite here.

[RobinGood]

Cleveland vs Gsw it will be the final and win the course first) well at least I so want), although Houston can still show something!

[peter0425]

So the stage has set, its Golden State vs Houston Rockets. Gonna hard to predict this one, the only advantage I only see is the home court. Others might thought that its nothing, but if you have home court advantage and the team able to protect it, they have a good chance to win and clinch the series. This time around, Houston has it, so they need to protect and don't let Golden State steal one from them. Kudos to Anthony Davis, but Golden State is really hard to beat if the big 4 is on top of their game. Green almost got triple double while playing defense on him. Let's see how the lines go before putting my bet.

The finals is definitely going to be the Boston Celtics against the Houston Rockets. Because in honesty I am sick with Cavaliers and Warriors finals and with the Cavaliers squad depleted they would have had it so easy.

Well one thing goingbfor the rockets would be home court and chris paul. We've seem the difference this playoffs compared to last season when cp3 wasn't on the the team. Though i think gsw would be too much even with home court. With the 4 teams remaining, it's likely that gsw will be able to defend their title.

[green_fish]

The Houston rockets and golden state warriors are going to be a good match, and any team winning is normal.

The rockets have been equipped with a brain Paul this season, plus first-rate defense and a fight with the warriors.

Home advantage is evident in this connection.

we will see what will happen as long as LeBron leading the Cavaliers I think it would be a big impact still. I hope it would be like you said so it would be different for this year. But if Cavaliers versus Warriors still happens then it speaks a lot that they are top tier teams in the league.

What do you expect its the top 2 seed in the West so its going to be a tight contest. Yeah, CP3 will also be a big factor unless he also chokes in the finals just like how Harden against San Antonio last year.

They will bring the fight to the Warriors but I don't think it will be enough as Golden State specially with Curry back will be a very difficult to match player per player.

The real finals is between the Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors because I see the team winning going on to win the Championship irrespective of whoever they face in the finals.
