2025 NBA Season

Raptors vs Bucks would be an epic Eastern Finals 

For me, this will be the two teams that will face in the Eastern Conference Finals. It will be more exciting if these two teams will face compare to Bucks and 76ers where Embiid isn't health the whole playoffs.

76ers got the victory a while ago and the series is tied already and same with the Blazers who got the victory too against the Nuggets. Tomorrow will be the Warriors Rockets game 6. I see some youtube videos saying that the Warriors are better without KD. Your opinions on this??

Hopefully we will see the old gsw ball movement where everyone is touching the ball and always looking for the high percentage shot. Lesser iso play. KT needs to step up to replace durant as another scorer. Are they better without Durant? I don't think so. But I know they are not lacking in talent.

They "were" better without Durant. 73-9 remember? But with the current roster, plays, and rotation I think it will be a lot different now than before. They're a professional basketball player anyway they could pull a contingency play immediately. Lets see their adjustment in game 6, Im sure Klay and Iggy will step up to the game. This is more like the GSW 2015 roster, and they were the champions during that time.

Whose with Sixers in game 7?
The advantage is not on them since they are the road team, what should they do to win against the Raptors in game 7?

Be consistent, play good defense on Leonard. So far they have shown that they can deal with Kawhi. We witnessed multiple times that they double him him and Kawhi was forced to pass or drive by there are instances that Joel block him twice and the next time he drove and he Joel, he immediately pass and opt for a low percentage shot. It's going to be hard to win at the road, but not impossible.

I don't know, we all know that KD is now a big part of GSW and losing him will surely affected them in a way. On the other hand, prior to KD joining the team, it was Curry's team and so far we haven't seen him being the 'typical' Curry we have seen years ago. Maybe now that KD is out of the picture, mentally he is focused again and give GSW the win in the next game so we will see.

2 Game 7's. So excited later if Houston will win in their homecourt and will be an addition to another game 7.
I like this kind of games. So exciting. Home court advantage will not be a factor anymore.

How about Ben Simmons doing a lot of offense for the 76ers. Looks like they found out what they are looking for. Does it really need an Embiid respiratory problem for them to see it?
Simmons is big, he can penetrate, he got long hands and if the drive goes sideways he have the passing skills.
He is the real monster in creation and just needs to be polished.

Embiid is looking better than last time. Let us see what will happen in Canada.

On the other hand, I am sad about how the Raptors coach is rotating his players. You know your Raptors 5 is not working, freaking rotate the players and use those bench. Jeremy Lin is there and wont have any minutes unless it is garbage time.

If the rockets win this game (which everyone really hopes for) there is going to be a game 7 without Durant and there will be 3 games with game 7's on this Sunday. Bucks have been resting for a while already while others are still playing but all other games are on this Sunday if I am not wrong. That means raptors vs Sixers, rockets vs warriors and nuggets vs blazers are all going to be decided come this Monday.

I think it doesn't matter who wins the nuggets vs blazers matchup, I know both teams have their own narrative but warriors or rockets could beat them in 4 games if they force themselves or probably gonna handle them in 5 games to make it easier. However whoever matches with bucks going to make the most entertaining eastern conference final series in over 10 years probably.

Everyone has their favorite here. I like Raptors but I think the Bucks will win in the East.
I also like how the Nuggets are playing, they might win the West.

Leonard even with double team defense on him can score the most points of the team in the game.
Toronto need to find more scoring alternatives because if they want to qualify. Siakam is a great player and maybe he should grab more chances when Leonard has two players on him.

But it won't be easy for him if he will be constantly double team early even in the three point line. It will took a lot of energy on him and if the players he passes the ball doesn't shoot good then they are in trouble. Yes, there are lots of players in their roster, but sometimes they just watch Leonard and all are just waiting for him to drive or shoot the basket.

Cant be sure on that yet facing up either Rockets or Warriors wont really be that easy. Nuggets is good but i do see it wont really be enough to match up either those two.I'll rather believe that winner between GSW and Rockets would face up bucks on finals which is the most interesting part.

Right, anything can happen on either of the series, (GSW vs Houston, Portland vs Nuggets). It will be interesting though to see Nuggets vs Bucks in the NBA Finals. It could be the start of a new dynasty in either conference.

It already shows that New dynasty already in the East but i would preferably like to see no Warriors on the finals but i highly doubt that they would able to make it through but having no KD would be still questionable but lets see on next game on this series on how they would end up but one thing is assured that i cant see that either portland or nuggets will beat out the winner of upper bracket team of west but well as you said anything can happen and which the excitement do comes from.

I would agree that the Bucks might dominate in the East, Giannis will be the new Lebron James, even better.
However, in the West, there's a lot of talent, Warriors could easily win if Durant is healthy, but now they are a risk of losing against the Rockets though they are ahead of the series.

Nuggets, I don't think they are too good, they lack shooters and their defense is not that superb.

Too early to say Giannis is the new Lebron in East. Don't forget about Simmons. We can say East unpredictable this season and the upcoming seasons unlike before when Lebron is still there. As for Warriors, they really do have a great advantage if there is Durant but don't remember they are good even before without this guy. As long as their 3s will connect, it's all good.

Another bad night so far for Steph Curry but the Rockets just can't get some separation here.

3rd quarter almost over but the score is tied, what a thrilling game.

Edit:
No KD no problem, Steph Curry just explode in the 4th and my mini-KD, Livingston stepped up his game. Warriors unto the WCF .

[jakelyson]

Splash brothers proved GSW was splash brothers first before Kevin Durant. They have a splendid final quarter game. Steph Curry exploding in the final quarter giving the GSW the first slot for Western Conference Finals. I thought this was a Houston Game since Durant is out but the two proved their worth.

We will see on Monday on who will win between Raptrs and 76ers but it's a more preferable match up if Raptors would win the game 7.

It will become Raptors vs. Bucks.

They have to win first against Portland and Golden State Warriors.

Curry only scored in the 2nd half and wins the game.
Congratulations, they were the dog in this game today but they still manage to win without Durant.
Draymond was right, "they don't need Durant". LOL

Good damn, Steph Curry was monster today. Hitting clutch shots and Klay take care of the first half while Curry exploded on the 3rd and 4th period.

The odds are against them, but we all know what the old GSW can do, and now they advances again. It was a blessing not to have KD played.

Although GSW had some pressure to really win this game, I admire them for having the resiliency to stay focus on this game and the Splash brother did their thing. I thought the games will be extended to another game 7, but as defending champs, they showed the heart of a champion.

Well, they just proved that they can win in a game even without KD. To be honest, I knew they will win even the start because if you remember the time when the got the 73-9 record, there is no KD there although they lost in that season against the Cavs.

Curry didn't score in the first half but exploded in the second as well as Thompson. This is a huge loss for the Rockets roster because they lost on their home court. Sad.

On Sunday, 76ers - Raptors and Nuggets - Blazers Game 7. Whose your bet at this moment. In the East I'll go with the Raptors and in the West I'll go with the Blazers .
