2025 NBA Season

[dwyane36]

I think Heat has a good chance of winning the East conference if Tatum will play the same in the next game.
Look at this, 0/6 in the first half is ridiculous.

[rhomelmabini]

Lol I love the jokes about nuggets winning this game. They have Lakers exactly where they wanted, now Nuggets will lose the next game and series will be 3-1 just like Nuggets wanted and then they will win 3 in a row to eliminate Lakers as well .

That's my prediction as well and I said it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1220979.msg55238016#msg55238016. Well, if they come resilient again for the third time there's something they are brewing and that for sure is another history and may be unbreakable even on the next decades. They've just done 2 in a row what if 3 in a row that's totally unreal for them. But I don't think LeBron will gonna pull this through at least let him get to the Finals and let say if he choke on it again.

Making it happen on the 2nd time in a row? then that would really be a history on making a comeback on 3 games deficit.Same as justdimin where i do also love the joke about these talks about on letting lakers to win the next game and the rest would follow on what happened on previous powerhouse team.I agree that this kind of record or history is unbreakable
but i dont see that it would happen the second time around.If Lakers performance would really be just the same on this Game 3 then its possible but i dont see for Lebron and the
rest of the team will make it just happen so easily.

Well, the Nuggets already made that history on that from Jazz and Clippers 3-1 deficit, that's in row and that's unbreakable, they get that on the 1st and 2nd round in the playoffs. If Lakers can't lift the curse they bring then we will see Nuggets on the Finals.

In most crucial games, I think AD is the best guy.

Panic pass or not, the pass was good and it was executed well. Whoever will take the pass does only have one thing to do.

And that is to take the long shot.

That's how valuable AD in the team as he is a clutch player, for a big man, I think he is exceptional who can shoot in the 3 with good percentage. If the Lakers will be the champion this season, I think the Finals MVP award will go to Davis, do you agree?

Yup.

Only a few big man can do that in a crucial game. Btw, I haven't commented the win of Denver yesterday. 

Series is becoming exciting. And one more win for Heat.

It would be more exciting if Denver will win tonight? They have found the recipe to win, are they gonna continue winning? will see bro..

I think Heat has a good chance of winning the East conference if Tatum will play the same in the next game.
Look at this, 0/6 in the first half is ridiculous.

It doesn't matter, the 1st half was bad for him but he was very impressive in the 2nd half, he still finished as the top scorer in the team.
Tatum generated 28 points in the 2nd half, isn't that good for you?

It is.

But still, we just have to wait until the game finishes again. It's going to be exciting if it shows again another amazing play just like the buzzer-beater last time.

Yet, it's all on them. Good luck to them.

I think that stat is irrelevant, I mean even Jordan had some worst first half in a playoffs but finished strong and that what's matter most. They wasn't as aggressive as they should be, become sloppy and gives up easy point specially in the fourth canto, and Herro had one of the most spectacular game for a rookie.

[yazher]

So what shall I say? HEAT in 5? Will the HEAT would end the series in 5 to rest early? The game tonight was really exciting, it was Heat who are leading most of the time but Celtics didn't give up, they have so much talent but heat was more on a good chemistry as a team, a rookie putting his team on his shoulder? That's the big news.

The game tonight was unexpected because everybody eyes's are on Jimmy Butler but suddenly the one of the youngest rookie player in the league took the spotlight by giving all his best, managed to out scored Boston up to the final quarter and win the game which give them the lead 3-1 in the Eastern Conference Final.

Tyler Herro has made an outstanding record that not even the NBA all-star has ever made on their career. He passes Wade's record for the youngest who got 20+ points in a playoff game and in the Eastern Conference Final.

Yeah it would be good for heat to play one more game before they will going to end the finals. They can use the opportunity to bet in game 5 for celtics and let their game 4 loss for the moment and regain game 6 or 7. I know they could get much money in betting if they do. However, since this is finals already then I guess they will be forcing to win in game 5 to play for championship. Playing into championship is one of the best moments for heat team to make a history of winning championship title that if they will going to beat either Lakers or Nuggets.

[Reid]

A great win from Miami Heat once again.
Nuggets vs Lakers later.

Heads up!

I really didnt expect for these youngsters to have a huge leap and could able to go head-to-head with veterans. A career high of 37 points specially on a conference Final is extraordinary.

Wont be surprised if this young man would able to improve even more and would break even more records in the future.I had just recently made out some bets to Miami and that one really paid off.
Just on 20 years of age this man is splendid and really shines off on this game 4. Wondering if he would able to do it even more on game 5 to close the series.

I think Heat has a good chance of winning the East conference if Tatum will play the same in the next game.

Just like on Lebron and other all start or even top scorers  arent really exempted into these kind of times where there are quarters on which they dont even make much points but eventually do able
to compensate at later quarters.


One thing do boggles my mind on that last few minutes about that foul that had given 3 shots for Walker. Is that considered a shot attempt?

You mean this?

I able to notice it too and that isnt really a shot even though its been intercepted by Butler and its clear that he was going to pass it on the other side.Those hands thrown up on air will really be just normal
specially if the ball had snatched out.Well, referee call do sucks sometimes but those are crucial moments.

Wondering if he would able to do it even more on game 5 to close the series.

Celtics would surely have adjustments and might able to stretch it to make it on game 6 through 7.Gap point isnt really that far off to make out conclusion that they will able to win
surely on game 5.

Buckets after buckets, this young lad future is very bright, didn't expect that he would take the whole game over as I was expecting more from Jimmy Butler. Heat is lucky to draft him, but there's something missing though, I think he needs to improve his defense a bit more, that would help his current team a lot  .

I've read some stuff 'bout him, and there's this one quality of him I always see upon those inputs, he's "Player-friendly" (would that be enough? to manage a struggling bulls? ) Sorry, am not personally aware that much about that man, I mean, I didn't pay much attention about him before.

[Pamadar]

If Heat will see another opportunities for sure they will not hesitate taking it and advance to the finals.

Heat developed a good chemistry trusting each players without any hesitation, Herro step up and really showed his great basketball skills while Bam, Dragic and Butler backed him up providing the help, I adore how Coach Spoelstra brings good trust to one another.

[harizen]

Actually, Tyler Herro is doing good since the start of the playoffs. He always comes up with a good production as a rookie and take note, "coming from the bench". Coach Spo is also giving him a good playing time which is not usual for a rookie since their first game in the playoffs. And guess what, he surprised everyone and makes buzz to the NBA community.

Truly the most (I guess) underrated in the current rookie class. This guy is not pressured at all (maybe the current setup is an advantage) even it's his first time playing at one of the most pressured parts of the season.

Celtics is playing great too. Just lacking at the end.

[Captain Corporate]

 Honestly finishing the series early has a lot more weight than people think. Miami is a very young core of players, they already do not get that much fatigue anyway but when they finish early, and rest, and go ahead and play with a team like Lakers who actually have a lot older players, Lebron is at the far front of this, he is still one of the (if not the) best player in the league but he is a bit older now, so fatigue could still have a trouble with him, and AD is still younger but he is older than almost all miami players as well, danny green too, morris brother too, mcgee, howard, rondo there is a ton of veteran players. So playing more games means really more for them. Obviously this is only applicable for Lakers, Nuggets are still incredibly young, if they face on finals I doubt few more games would make a difference.

They're not that far if you will be making an average of it, Miami Heat Roster's age avg. is at 27.14 while the LA Lakers Roster is at 29, that is just 2 years gap. These "old players" that you are saying are used to pressure and long games, fatigue is not a problem but in this bubble the thing that matters is how you would play the game. There is not that much fans to hype you up, there is no home court advantage, there is just theirselves playing their ball minding their team and theirselves.

True that, he wasn't expected to be a Hero for his team, in the regular season it was actually Kendrick Nunn who are doing great but I think he was injured and though playing already but hasn't get back his to his usual yet. Herro just showed how confident he is despite being a rookie, he ain't even missing shots even in crucial time which makes him look like he was been in this situation many times, this kid is one of the futures of NBA, mark my word.

Truly the most (I guess) underrated in the current rookie class. This guy is not pressured at all (maybe the current setup is an advantage) even it's his first time playing at one of the most pressured parts of the season.

Heat player's is not only underrated, the team itself is so underrated, if HEAT will be a champion this season, Herro for MVP.. Possible?

[livingfree]

I am already expecting that Heat is the one that will wait in the finals. I'll be watching the game of Denver Nuggets and Lakers later on.

Lakers will play better this time and they wouldn't go easy with Nuggets.

Base on the referee's decision, it is a 3 point attempt and I think it really is a 3 point attempt knowing that they are trailing at that time. Its a mistake that Butler tried to swat it but who cares now we have the winner already and it will not be reversed anymore.

Lakers need davis to be on.  If the nuggets start off hot look out.  Lakers don't want to play from behind on this team.  Lakers need to start hot and get a big lead.  As 6 point dogs in this I like the nuggets here in game 4, they need this win

Lakers still in lead 3rd quarter is almost over.

I like how they play they are not giving any easy basket and really giving hard time though refs keep calling fouls
but that's a good sign they are not giving any easy points and they are doing well with their offense.
