2024 NBA Season

Game 2 of bucks against the Celtics, who will win? We see that bucks are not ready to take on the big stage and I think they will be swept in 4 games against the Celtics though.

That was a wild guess.

Last year's playoffs, the game went to Game 7 on which the Celtics won the series.

The changes from these today's matchup are:

-Celtics now have Irving and Hayward now on board
-Bucks showed a tremendous improvement throughout the whole season

Overall, both have good changes.

Eventhough Bucks struggles last Game 1, it's really hard to imagined for me that they will not able to steal even a single game. This series should end at Game 7 as my wild guess.

There's a huge chance, if they will win game 2.
If this series will go game 7, the advantage is on the bucks as they are playing at home, there's a little chance a road team can win the series on the road.
I'm rooting for Bucks to win, though Celtics has taken game 1, one game for the Bucks will bring back their confidence again.

In this playoffs so far, we have witnessed that both teams can win on the road, so Bucks losing at home is normal, still bucks is the favorites here though Celtics already got 1 win, but if this would go 2-0 for celtics, this would be a different story, so it's like a do or die game for the Bucks in game 2.
Betting with the bucks is good, but you can buy points since the spread is so high being the favorites.

Bucks is the favorites between them and Celtics. Tomorrow we will see if this is going to be a 2-0 for the Boston Celtics. I want to see this series to be one of the best before the conference and nba finals.

I'm supporting Bucks and would probably bet for them regardless of the odds in sports bookies.

If we want to bet on the Bucks, this is the best time and if ever they will loss in game 2, we can again back them in game 3.
This time around as a gambler, we can employ a martingale system which would surely guarantee a win as it's unlikely that they will be 0-3.

Yes, best time to bet for game 2 but sadly I missed it lol.

Who's watching the game? Bucks is about to get this game with a score 118-93 on Q4 with 02:46 remaining.

Bucks won comfortable today, 123-102. They played good defence, shot the play well, play good defence. Irving was held to 9 points, on 4 for 8 shooting. Giannis make a comeback with 29 points and 10 rebounds after a sub par game 1. He seems to be aggressive in attacking the inside. Middleton and  Bledsoe contributed as well with 28 and 21 points. The Bucks lead a commanding 30 point lead and Celtics has no answer for it. Game 3 now shifts to Boston.

It was a statement game for Giannis. A lot of media call him off with his below performance in Game 1. I also noticed that he tends not to go inside during their first game so I'm not surprised if he went full aggressive mode this Game 2 and carry his team for a impressive win tonight.

So it's Boston time to respond in Game 3. It's their homecourt, so it's going to be a good game 3, that's for sure. Kyrie will comeback strong in this game probably carrying his team with another double double performance. So I will go with them in Game 3.

Warriors 2-0, it was a well dominated game by the warriors.
AFAIR, Rockets has never led in the game, it was all warriors and all of them are scoring well.
Iggy, Durant, Curry, Thompson, and Green, shared the ball very well, they deserved this win.

I smell a sweep.lol

The Big 5 really played well today distributing the ball and adjust defensively, this two teams really have their combos and they are working that hard to work with the system, GSW having the advantage of home crowd so the momentum and excitement brings the boost for their players,  expect more actions when the game went to Houston, I'll be going to wait how the ref/officials will handle all those Harden's complained.

Bucks won easily with the same strategy that Celtics did in the first game.
In the first game Celtics played strong defense on Giannis and he wasn't able to score many points and lead the Buck to the victory. Now I feel that Bucks did the same strategy on Kyrie, as he was able to score only 9 points in the second game of the series.

Kyrie is easier to defend than Giannis, this time around bucks are playing well and if you notice, other players are stepping up, they don't let Giannis to carry the team alone, and they did it successfully so they dominated the Celtics in the 2nd half and win by 21 points.

30 secs. left on the ball game, Raptors still able to narrow down the lead into a single point.

Then a clutch shot by Joel Embiid off the paint saves the day. Nice footsteps drive on the hoop.

Raptors has a chance to pushed it on overtime on the next possession. Kawhi Leonard does have a clean look on the rainbow area but decided to pass it on Green. Well then, looks like he thought Butler will have some piece of it so decided to pass it on much clearer area.

Overall a close game. That's what fans is looking, an intense game.

Yes, yes, yes.
That is the kind of game I love to watch. Just 2 to 3 possession lead and will really excite you that the homecourt advantage might come in handy.
But it didn't. I think it is just the GSW fans which makes a lot of change when they roar for GSW.

That move by Embiid shows how professional he is. I am just worried of him getting an injury. That kind of big body is prone to injuries.
He must still stay healthy and needed help from other centers of 76ers.

On the other side, another win for the GSW. Injuries came out. Curry with 2 fingers broken and Harden with an eye sore because of a poke.
This is going to be a hard fought semi finals.

Another good defense by the Warriors on James Harden, though it's a close game but still the Warriors manage to win game 2 and oh man who can guard that monster Kevin Durant with his pull up jumper.

Durant is unstoppable at this point, I mean he looks not that strong when he do post up. But when he turn arounds with that one leg shot, it's really hard to stop that because most of the time he was guarded by small man. Next game will be in Houston, it's gonna be wild and crazy as fans will involved themselves. Let's see if Durant can silence them once again.

Last year is different from this season. The currency line up of Boston is way more deep than the bucks. Even with their improvement, they can't seem to match up the Celtics in most of the positions so i'm predicting the series to end in 4 games. But it seems I'm getting ahead of myself and the bucks won and I lost already though.

As I have said in my previous post, this is going to be much easier for the Warriors to get past Houston this year. They are really very stingy and the defense is very tight on James Harden.

But I wouldn't say it will be a sweep, Houston will have a win in this series but Warriors will go and win it again this year.

I'm not siding on anyone between this matchup but I'm more on rooting with the warriors. But damn, the calls of James Harden threes were not that good. Draymond tried to get between the legs of Harden and there was no foul on the first game. I'm thinking that Warriors could possibly will have a hard time fighting the Houston since they are still the warriors from last playoffs.

[StarofBTC]

Bucks are favorites against everyone except warriors in my mind, they have a system that is really hard to break and one of those teams that you do not win against but they lose against you. If Middleton doesn't play well, if brook shoots bad, if Giannis doesn't make his shots early on etc etc, they have to lose and you can't make them lose they have to lose themselves. That is why they are the favorites but this is 7 game series so anything could happen, remember that 73-9 warriors and 3-1 lead ?

Well, that is rare but it happens in basketball all the time. Warriors on the other hand got a clear win yet again, 2-0 is not really a lead they should be giving up but we are going to see how they do in Texas. If rockets could tie the series at 2-2 than the series are still on the table but if they lose one game than it is game over.

[carlfebz2]

Basing on Game 1 between bucks and celtics i can already say that this wont really be a sweep.These 2 top tier teams would really be entertaining to watch.
Irving do really impresses me btw.

If Rockets will give one more game to Warriors it will be a very difficult road to win it back and reverse the possible outcome, they needed to win both games inside their court so it will be a deciding do or die to expect, if they will lose one game the chance will be slim and Warriors will take care of it, best time for Harden to play tougher and CP3 to back him up.

Obviously yes, it was different that's why I point the changes.

I disagree with the comparison of lineups. Bucks improvement this season is not just a "simple improvement". No changes at all at their current lineup from last year but they able to outshine all East teams the whole season with only 22 loses. It's difficult to achieved for an average team and many of us honestly didn't expect it that's why even how caliber and most popular Celtics lineup is, and now with Kyrie on board, I disagree that Bucks will be swept (which now didn't happened).

Im not a fan of either team. It's just that Im amazed for the changes of the whole Bucks team.

The Warriors are the same team as last year but the Rockets is also the same. One thing i observe is that the Warriors put a stingy defense on Harden, they force him to go to his right or pass the ball thus minimizing his output.
