Looking out for the NBA Conference Finals like...Our predictions: - WEST: Warriors in 5
- EAST: Bucks in 6
- FINALS: Warriors in 5
Do you have you thoughts and premonitions? Share them. And get b(ucke)ts with NBA & OneHash! Bucks vs warriors for the NBA finals is whatost people think would happen. I don't think the East and west conference finals is already unpredictable though because teams like the raptors and the trailblazers are hungry for a shot in the finals. Anyways, let's get the party started in just a couple of hours for the west conference finals though.

The difference between Sixers and bucks is that Giannis is actually a great defender whereas whoever guarded Kawhi most of the game (sometimes Ben Simmons but he is know as a passer not a defender) but when it comes to Giannis dude can literally lock down anyone because his size and wingspan is incredibly so he never gives you a clear shot, even if he is a bit late when he jumps his arms are covering that distance. That is why I think raptors are going to have a lot of trouble working the ball on Kawhi as much as they did on Sixers series, however same goes for Kawhi as well, he is one of the best defenders in the league if not the best defender which means Giannis will not be beasting over him that easily, Celtics had no solution to him whereas raptors have Kawhi defending him.
I've never paid attention to any Kawhi/Giannis matchup in the past but out of the 4 games they met in the regular season Toronto Raptors only won one game and Kawhi in that game only scored 30 points while Giannis I think scored 43 points. Given with their regular season matches the Bucks really do have an edge here since they have outscored them by a lot in the three games they won against them. Toronto needs to find a way to neutralize their scoring in order to defeat them and defense isn't one of the Toronto's specialty. They need to neutralize Giannis the most but obviously it's kinda hard to do that. Like you've said defense isn't Toronto's specialty, so much better if they will just try to match their offense, I believe Toronto can do it. But seriously Bucks is the most favorite to win in this match. If you're going to bet of course, you'll go to the favorite one.

Series, yes. But per game, odds-wise. Favorites always do have quite low odds. As for me, best to placed bet starting from Game 3 if per game basis (ML). Game 1 & 2 is more of testing strategies between two teams.

Games 1 and 2 will not be much profitable in the West but in the East it could be. Raptors as one of the powerhouse teams could make a good odds of winning even in the Milwaukee floor. They did it with 76ers and so it might happen again. Add also the healthy line up of the Raptors.
There is a lot of prediction out there but I am still looking for the Bucks to win. They might even change the odds way big when Game 1 will be stolen by Raptors.

The other bracket, well let them have a clash as well but Bucks and Raptors is like more attractive to the fans now and its getting more attention than the other side or is it just me that's thinking like that.
It's just you I guess. hehe. Bucks are still the favorite team between the two, but the performance of Leonard is what we called a performance of a real start. He is been consistent in the playoffs so far, and that game 7 against the sixers is something that we will always remember. Also, Embiid did cry, so you can tell they all put their passion in the game. A trash talker with an emotional heart. Well yeah that's just me because I'm very focused onto the other side and that's Bucks vs Raptors. I can't believe that Leonard would be that great addition for his new team. That awesome play made by Kawhi will always be on the highlights of history of plays. I'm not comparing him with Michael Jordan because we know who's better and proved himself but that play is like those plays he made. It's already written in the history of books tackling amazing great plays of NBA.

The oddmakers are really pointing for Golden State to win the series against Portland, but we will see. Yep, Toronto might pull some surprise early and could steal game 1. There is a lot of prediction out there but I am still looking for the Bucks to win. They might even change the odds way big when Game 1 will be stolen by Raptors.
But this is a long series and we all know that Bucks also lost to Boston Celtics but they quickly came back and win the series.

Warriors made a big statement in game 1, without Durant they do better, especially Curry.
I guess Durant will not worry anymore resting longer, we like to see them this way, the old warriors is back now. Sorry Blazers, you cannot win at the Warriors home.

It's interesting to note that conference finalist on both the east and the west have similar styles.
West - a 3-point shootout. East - a battle on the paint.
West: Warriors in 4 or 5 East: Bucks in 6 or 7
It is expected that the West will have a high phased ball game and with best shooters it will be an interesting matchup. I think it will boils down as how the bench are going to help out. It might not be in crucial stretch because the stars will have to take care of the ball. But those bench players that gives quality time while in the game to give their starters a rest.

Yeah, Curry has made an output without Durant on the court. Also, the inexperienced blazers cannot find answers to the three pointers of the warriors. Though it's too early to say but I guess the blazers should find a big adjustment if they want to beat the mighty warriors.

Hopefully the Blazers will adjust in game 2, they got beaten by the warriors in 3 point shooting. Blazers - 7-28 ( 25.0%) Warrior - 17-33 ( 51.5% ) Big difference here.

I agree with you and I love seeing them back playing like this, playing with a lots of movements and the ball really rotates well and land in the hands of the shooters, the splash brothers are so terrific showing how deadly they are inside and outside, we can the passions and dedications from everyone who have the chance to play inside the court. KD's rest is not a problem, the Warriors really dominated the game 1 as blazers don't find any counter to recover the lead.

Well, the older Curry dominated and the Warriors won against the Blazers with a huge margin. The Splash Brothers have a combined score of 62 points while the backcourt of the Blazers only scored 36 points. This is a huge statement to the Blazers and the remaining teams that they can win even without KD. The bench played well and I thought for a second that Curry will break Klay's record for most threes in a playoff game ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) . Anyway, 1 win for the Warriors. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Though they have been dominated badly in game 1, but that doesn't meant they don't have against the warriors. Game 2 is the most important int he series for them since they don't own the home court advantage and just like what they always do in the playoffs so far, they can win at least 1 game in the opponent's court.

Game 1 tomorrow, between the Bucks and the Raptors.
I hope I will not see the same scenario as what happen today, I'm hoping it's an entertaining game, like a close game. Game going to OT will add more excitement, and I like to see if Bucks can stop Leonard.

Curry opted again to pass in the first 2 quarters and then shoot the light outs in the 3rd and 4th pushing the lead. Lillard and CJ are tired after a hard fought series against Nuggets and doesn't look fresh so probably another factor why they did lost big time in game 1.

Again, they have proven that they can win without Durant in the past and in game 6 against Houston Rockets. And I agree that we miss this kind of Warriors team since the team offense is mostly focus on Durant. Now there are extra passes, good communication and of course the vaunted Splash Brothers taking the scoring load. They are really two of the best shooting guards in the NBA, so much for the Lillard and Mccollum show. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

They area really moving fast, if they are like a dancer, they dance gracefully on the floor. No one on one plays like Durant, and as a result the good scoring of Curry and Thompson was displayed.

Is it just me? Game 1 is boring. Even without KD, still Warriors is too much for them. It's like the series between GSW and POR has been decided even if it's not done yet. Well, it's GSW era. I expect this to be done in Game 5, or if they can't stop the duo of Klay and Steph this will end as sweep. Hope the Eastern Finals won't be boring like Western.

If you are a warriors fan and you bet on them to win, you will not feel bored on the game. That's their usual way of winning, they love to show their opponent how good they are, remember last NBA finals, they beat the Cavaliers by over 20+ points. IIRC, that was not even played in their own home court.

Im having the same feeling where i dont feel any excitement on this Game 1 between Warriors and Blazers.I've been expecting for Cj to perform well but defense is just to tough i guess yet Klay have been defending and do even block him for a couple of times. Curry is on fire shooting up 3's same with Klay even there are missed ones but still a win without KD.How much more if KD is playing?
