2024 NBA Season

[Shinpako09]

I have to get back to this prediction post about underestamating the Raptors. It seems like the Bucks are lossing now, 1 more loss and they will be eliminated for the NBA finals. Those big men might hard to contain, but Leonard is on different level than them lol.

True, we cannot deny that, Leonard's PPG average has increase this post season.
That's from 26.6 PPG regular season to 31.4 postseason.

They are saying Giannis is the future of NBA but man Kawhi has more experience in this level of intensity. That makes me rooting on them since the start. Whoever Warriors will face, sure thing Giannis or Leonard will be guarded dirty by Green. And we know how that guy play, he gives it all.

I'm truly rooting for Milwaukee Bucks and want to see our boy Giannis to face Steph Curry but it's really getting hard to them. They are on the verge of getting pushed out of the series if they won't win on game 6. Kawhi really played well and truly an asset to whatever team he's getting in. If Bucks can't make it to the finals then I'm already passing my hope for Raptors to win this season.

It is really sad seeing them like that.

I have a bet with my friend that Bucks will be taking the finals but that shifted 2 games ago. I don't know what to do but to watch them. I guess it is not Bucks' time now for the finals. And yeah, Leonard is a monster, with a great laugh, yeah.

Let's wait for the next game because we might see another game after that.

Giannis have a pretty decent record in the regular season, that's why he is one of the favorites to win the MVP award.
This playoffs, it's the same player but Raptors made the right adjustment, I don't want to blame Giannis for not doing well for his team to win, I guess we also have to look at the coaching side, what do you guys think? is the coaching doing their job well?

This is a proof that Giannis is not unstoppable in the paint area. We saw already that they can stop him on the paint so the best thing Giannis must do is to pass into his teammates. The Bucks are 4-2 on the road this playoffs so I don't think that they will not do their best in Game 6. The chances of the Raptors winning is high but I believe in Raptors

Leonard is a monster, with a great laugh, yeah.

Leonard got the "Meme of the Year" award from The Starters. His laugh is very funny

Currey was 3rd team All NBA last year and now he is back on the 1st team.  Lebron was 1st team last year and now he is on the 3rd team, lol.  I still think Lebron is the best player in the NBA but voters but too much weight on how well their team performs.

[Whosdaddy]

Kawhi has been always the type of player that didn't shy away from the big games. All that "he is a robot" jokes stemmed from a real deal that he was playing on finals and got the finals mvp when he was with spurs and they beat Miami because dude literally played his heart out against Lebron who was in his late stages of last prime (dude has multiple primes apparently) and he still managed to hold his own against him no matter what.

So, the dude knows how to play on playoffs and how to not get Shakey during last seconds all thanks to his early development stage with the great Spurs team that won their last championship and previous season (and later seasons too until he got injured).

Other raptors do not have that, other raptors have lost so many times on playoffs before that they are afraid and they fear it will happen again so they are not as brave as Kawhi who picks up their fear and turns it into courage and hence why his points are higher in playoffs because he picks up his teammates fears and covers that difference himself.

That's part of the game man. Green is considered to be a very intelligent and good defender so I don't consider him dirty. Anyways, Leonard is steam rolling the whole Milwaukee Bucks specially in the fourth. I don't know what else do they need to do just to stop him at this point.

And the Bucks are back again, they are in the lead tonight and let's hope they will not surrender the lead until the end of the game.
Raptors fans, please don't listen, I'm talking to the Bucks fans here, we are going to bounce back and win this series in game 7.

Not a fan of either team but i like the Bucks to win this game to extend the series to 7. The game ain't over though but looking at the game seems that the Bucks got a chance to get the job done. Giannis hitting those mid range jumper is a beautiful sight for Bucks fans out there.

I'd have love to agree with you, but going by what happened in the 4th quarter of game 5, I'll just wait to see how this plays out, Bucks are indeed playing better tonight, If the can keep it at a double digit lead into the 4 quarter, then just maybe they'll steal this win despite being the road team too.

It seems like you are right, they are not winning in the 4th quarter and it seems like they already fold early tonight.

The Raptors did it . They clinch to the NBA Finals and will face the Warriors with a score of 100-94. What an upset for the Bucks who has dominated in the 1st and 2nd round but lost 4 straight times to the Raptors.

Raptors and Warriors on may 30? Whatchu got? I'd go in Warriors in 6-7 games .

P.S. I didn't saw Leonard smile or feel happy with their victory . His face is always the same

You cannot even tell if the guy feels any pressure at all with that face 
He shot those two free throws like it was nothing. I guess that's what cold-blooded champions do.

I'm rooting for the underdogs, Raptors in 7!

[Shinpako09]

Haha, Finally, my prediction came true, Raptors in 6. A good execution of defense by Raptors. Giannis can't get near the rim, he's been double or triple team right away. Giannis maybe talented but isn't fully ripe yet plus he needs a more reliable team mate especially in outside, also inside. Kawhi is smart, talented and has more experience in this level of intensity. Better luck next year Giannis. He should work more in his free-throw shooting.

[stadus]

Congratulations mate, I hope you also put a bet on your prediction so that would give you money to celebrate their success.

Kawhi needs to stay at the Raptors and they management should offer him a max contract, this is first time in the NBA finals if I'm not mistaken.

[Oasisman]

Kawhi has been offered more than the max contract. Business owners in Toronto are offering him free services. Its still up to him whether he stays or not. If they could win the NBA finals this year, Kawhi are most likely to stay in Toronto.

On the other hand, 4 straight losses in a series isnt a good sign for the Bucks.

Of course I was damn right! I'm gutted by the Bucks performance!

They led by as much as 15 points just few minutes before the end of the third quarter, then there came  a 26 - 5 run for the Raptors, how in hell's name do you give chance to such a run and still hope to win a game ?

Congratulations to Raptors for the win, Its duly deserved! I however hope they'll give the Warriors a run for their money, Pun intended

Congratulations to all Toronto fans, it's a well deserved win for the team. First time to go to the finals with GSW. On the other hand, they hype around Bucks is gone, up 0-2, Giannis was exposed in this series. Raptors has the uncanny ability to get back in the game in the 3rd and 4th quarter. Similar to what GSW has done to Houston and Portland. So let's see who's going to be on top. It will not be a dull series as others may have point it out. Raptors will have a chance to upset the defending champs.

Even if they will not win, the success they had now is already huge.
He deserved a higher max contract if that is possible, and Kawhi has a huge fan based in toronto so why would he look for another team.

Also, you can tell that his teammates have so much respect on him.
This guy is a true underrated superstar, he is the most clutch player in the NBA now.

[Naida_BR]

Amazing performance from Leonard in these series. Even injured he managed to get Raptors to the finals.
I felt a little sad about Giannis, because he had an amazing season and he deserved more, but he is only 24 and he has a bright future.
This is just the start for him.
