2025 NBA Season

[Jating]

Actually James Harden has a bad night. He is not hitting his shots even though he had a few good looks. Plus Rudy G. did a good job even blocking his shots multiple times.

Bruh, it's not even between Houston and Spurs. It is Houston vs Jazz. Rudy Gay is part of San Antonio Spurs team. Even though Harden had a bad night, he still puts up numbers for his team. A 22 points is no joke for a guy that is not heated at that moment. By the way, Harden is holding the Record of most TOs/game in playoffs and Most consecutive misses to start a playoff game which is 0-15 FG.

Did I say Rudy Gay? Before you comment you should know that Jazz has Rudy Gobert.

I think sometimes, you must use your common sense before posting. Its obvious that this is Jazz Rockets series and Rudy Gay is not on either one of these team. He is on Spurs right now and the one he is saying Rudy G is Gobert not Gay.

Anyway, that is Harden's achievement I think but its my first time for me to see a player who is 3/20 shooting but got 22 points. No wonder how many times he go to the free throw line . Good game for the Jazz but Harden is just good . They must recover in Game 4 if they want to win at least 1 game and don't be like Pacers who lost in Game 4 against the Celtics already.

I think this playoff season is already done for the Jazz as they seem to not have any chances against this Houston team. Houston will want to close it early because one more game means shorter time of resting for them which is always a bad thing for anyone.

Well, I could say the same. Still, its good for the Jazz to atleast play for the offseason.
While on the other hand, the Pacers has been completely sweeped by the Celts. I guess I was wrong with my prediction that sweeping would be a hard thing to do this year as most of the teams were very competitive lol.

Yeah you're wrong, I am also not expecting they can do that to Pacers easily, IIRC my bet on the series was 4-2 in favor of the celtics but it's a loss bet now. Looking forward, there are other teams that are competitive on their series, like the spurs/nuggets which is 2-2 at the moment and I was also thinking that OKC might even the series after the game tonight.

WB will take over again and win the game, PG still contribute though not in usual numbers.

My predictions with Spurs and Nuggets seems working lol.
And oh, at this very moment, Portland is winning against OKC again. Almost 20 points deficit in favor of Portland with less than 5 mins. in the 4th. I can see a 3-1 lead from Portland already. I guess, this is another wrong prediction again. Sad.

The OKC needs to win one game in the road to get this game back to their home court.
I would say it's possible they can win one as they have a good record against this team during the regular season, still the same OKC team and for sure they will play harder this time around as every game is a do or die for them.

It's already 3-1 and I would say that it is very difficult to climb back from this deficit unless you are Lebron.  . Portland is the 3rd seed, and we thought that they are done because of Nurkic's injury. Lillard again put a spectacular display in the 3rd quarter and hold off Westbrook. C.J. McCollum added 27 points.

Paul George lead 32 points, Westbrook scored 14 points (5-21 shooting). And he missed his final 10 shots.

They can actually win if not with Westbrook's bad shooting, game 3 he is shooting well that's why they win.
I don't understand why he does not adjust knowing his shooting is not good, this is not time for stat padding, it's playoff time and his team needs to win.

The only hard series that the Spurs are facing is the round one, but it seems they can take care of the Nuggets.
If they will pass through the 2nd round, they will be facing either the Blazers or the OKC, I believe they have a good chance, though I think they will be again underdog.

Updates, series tied with each team  have 2 wins after Spurs loss on Game 4. The Spurs 3 point shots are nowhere to be found, Belinelli and Bertans were not a treat on Game 4. Derrick White, wasn't aggressive compared to previous 3 games.
Looks like the Nuggets wanted the game 4 more. Home court advantage now back to Denver.

The Nuggets - Spurs series will be a nice series that I predicted before starting the playoffs. I think this will go probably to 7 games now that the score is tied already. The Nuggets are strong but lack of experience in playoffs but the Spurs are have more experience in playoffs but probably weaker compare to the other team (personal opinion).

I agree. It is still up in the air, no one can really see who is going to win because it seems that they are a perfect match. I wanted for the Spurs to win though.  

Anyway, I'm surprised that despite of 3/20 shooting of Harden they managed to win against the Jazz on the road and he got 22 points.

It's because the other team didn't do good as well. Turn-overs, (I remember Rubio turning the ball over during the last seconds of the 3rd quarter). And Donovan is also not hitting even his free throws, there's no one to blame but themselves, had the chance in their homecourt, but they blew it.

I don't know what happened to Westbrook he got only 1 point in the entire 2nd half. This is not the time for Russel to make again a triple double on their upcoming 5th game that will lead to mockery of his career.

This is what happens when he doesnt have a goal.
When he is creating a tribute he can make something happen, while winning the first round is so difficult for him.
I just dont get that man.
Why not make every game a tribute to someone else. Mother, Father or any relative just so he could focus his game.

PG13 cannot run the whole show. He needs the veteran of OKC and if he plays like that it will be hard for PG13 to lift them all up. Westbrook is like the captain and he needs to show it to his team mates.

Right, maybe he is trying too hard and was gambling that one shot that will suddenly turn things around for him and his team. However, he didn't clicked and PG13 has to take the bulk of the scoring against a balance attack from Portland.

It will be another disappointment for Westbrook again if OKC won't go past the first round again. There's no one to point the blame to but to himself.

IMO, regular season and playoffs are two different stories. The intensity from the playoffs is far more different than the regular season. The OKC may have a good record versus Portland in the regular season, but that doesnt guarantee them a win in a playoff series.
Theres still have a chance for the OKC to comeback from this deficit anyway. But a higher chance for them to be eliminated, as there were only a handful of team to comeback from a 3-1 deficit. Its just so disappointing for the OKC, I was really expecting a 7 game series with their match up.

[Jating]

Pesky LA Clippers. 

They gave the defending champs all they got and there are moments when you have to questions GSW heart. However, it's Klay time to shine as he poured 27 points in the halftime to finished with 32 points.

Kevin Durant proved why he is the MVP of this team, with 33 big points and that dagger three in the last three or two minutes if I'm not mistaken put them ahead for good. Curry having an off night, finishing with just 12 points, 3-of-14.

It's now 3-1.

[boyptc]

Portland rained 3 pointers!

DAMNian Lillard those 3's, he lead his team and managed to win against OKC.

At this moment the favors back to Denver Nuggets since they won the game 4. But do you guys think that Nuggets will this series against San Antonio Spurs? Thoughts?

This is the advantage of the Warriors, the three scoring machine. This time it is Klay and Durant who lead the scoring for the Warriors with 32 and 33 respectively. You just need two of this combo to explode and the game is in the bag.

I respect Westbrook a great deal but I don't think his play style is congruent with leading a team to a championship.

My prediction from the start of the season still golds true, the Warriors will easily win another ring because they are just too talented.  The only real question left is if Durant or Curry will win the Finals MVP.

I think Houston is the only team that could be a threat for the Warriors this year if they continue playing this way. They already beat the Warriors a few times this year and this should definitely be the most entertaining matchup of this season.
