2024 NBA Season

[Hypnosis00]

Meanwhile, the Blazers vs Nuggets started already, Blazers had a good run in the first quarter but Nuggets came back in the 2nd quarter to close the game to only 2 points now. The Joker is still consistent.

Blazers took that right away, the first half is ended.

The score now is 47-57, Blazers with 10 points lead and this is from a balanced scoring and good ball movement.
They finish the first half with 50% FG shooting, that's impressive.

But expect that the Nuggets will adjust it in the 2nd half.

Let's see what the 3rd quarter will bring, Nuggets need to have a good run so they can relax in the 4th quarter. Thus far, it's the Blazers who are starting to have a good run with a 7-0 run.

The fourth game of the Trail Blazers - Nuggets series is still going on. Denver are leading the series 2-1 but it looks like it will change to 2-2. Because Trail Blazers are completely destroying Nuggets now (93-66).

[Reid]

Do you guys think Tatum can keep this up? What if an off night comes? Who will be there to step up and score for the team?
~

I think the booing really affected Kyrie's game here, he seems to be very aggressive, even fouling Smart shooting 3, and then he has good looks but missing shots.

Obviously, Tatum continue to score even with Durant guarding him, Thompson and Smart also contributed that's why they were able to offset Harden and Durant. So time for Nash to go back to the drawing board and will have to look on how to nuetralized Tatu next game. Forget about Kemba, he is not performing well even before the playoffs, looks like he is on a slump.

Thanks, guys for the answers.
I agree with all of you and I will also bet for the Nets at Game 4.
I think Harris will be the key here. Once he starts shooting those three's again it will scatter the defense of the Celtics allowing their Big 3 to move freely without hesitation. It's the double team that made Kyrie's ego went out of control.
Coach Nash already find a solution with Harden running the play but it's too late with a ballooned lead created by the Celtics.
One more vital aspect to win is if Kyrie would just let his teammates do the job.
If all eyes are on him, use it and drag the defense out that opens a way for Durant, Harden, and Harris for a high shooting percentage.

Trail Blazers already won 115-95.

And it also looks like the Sixers are going to win as well, their 3 points are clicking, Curry and Danny Green and then Joel abusing the paint, so it's going to be 3-0.

Bucks got their revenge on Heat, you can see that they don't want this game slip away. Even at a huge lead, they really played good defense. Happy are those who take on the handicap for the Bucks as it was covered with plenty to spare.

Yes, it was a revenge win, but in the first half, it looks like Miami are going to win because they've moving differently and even taking a lead in the first half. But what a turn of events in the second, Bucks putting foot on the gas pedal and build a good cushion while Miami doesn't have any answer. Jimmy Butler was a disappointment and it looks like they are an overrated team.

Utah leading Memphis with 9 points, let's see how this game develops.

Sad news though, Mark Eton, formerly a Utah Jazz player, a defensive behemoth in the paint, has died from a motorcycle accident.

[akirasendo17]

I'm surprised with Giannas is not forcing to score, instead, he tried to be a facilitator, and all his teammates reward it with a score, three-point shooting is flawless its really sweet revenge, if this will continue to happen and their plays are like this, it will be hard for their opponent in the east, can they make it this time, the answer is if they can defeat the nets, I hope we see a good series.

Indeed that is sad news. Mark Eaton was a legendary player. He was know to put up triple doubles with points, rebounds, and blocks. I believe it was a bicycle accident though, not motorcycle. Mark was known to cycle frequently. I haven’t heard much on the specifics, but it appears he was the only one involved. The NBA lost one of it’s greats today. A household name 30 years ago.

I was not able to watch the game but looking at the stats, Giannis became Westbrook? 
20 points 12 rebounds 15 assists? Wow! I am trying to imagine what kind of game he played but I can't make some pictures in my mind. This is new and somehow surprising.

Jazz and Grizzlies was a fun game to watch too. Grizzlies managed to tie the game at the 4th quarter but the Spida is just too much for them.
Donovan Mitchell scored 29 points and this is just his second game after missing 17 games from injury.

[Karartma1]

Joel Embiid signed his career-high in the NBA Playoffs with 36 points and dragged the Philadelphia 76ers to the match-point in the series against Washington (3-0). Embid dominated the game, going to halftime with 25 points and his team ahead 72-58. For the Wizards, besides Embiid's problem, there was also Westbrook's physical problem (ankle). Russ scored a triple-double anyway (26 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists) but it was useless because his team went as low as -31 and then lost 132-103.

[jakdanyel]

Milwaukee Bucks have gotten past Miami Heat with a whopping 4-0 result in the series. Giannis was incredibly good and played a big role on his team's advancing. I especially liked his last performance which he made a triple double, 20 PTS, 12 REB and 15 AST. I would expect from Heat to do better than this.

[gagux123]

I was impressed with the result of the game, I never imagined, the Heat would be swept in this way, especially in leadership of Erik Spoelstra, who for me is an excellent coach.

I was thinking to myself, do you think if Tyler Herro had that sensational performance that he had in late 2020 and early 2021, the Heat would be able to win this series??

Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson was impressive last post season. But If they still played like they used to last playoffs, I don't think they'll still win this series.
Herro and Robinson is still young and isn't ready for the real stage. With just the minimum arena capacity for the fans they're already shaken, how much more in a maximum capacity where the crowds roar would literally bother your style of game.
Look at how awful Herro's stats fall this season.

It looks like the Trail Blazers - Nuggets series will end with a very close result.

Yes, 76ers won 132-103 and brought the score of the series to 3-0. J. Embiid (36 pts, 8 reb) and T. Harris (20 pts, 13 reb, 5 ast) showed a really good performance. I guess they will finish the job in the next game.

Because of the win in game 4, they've done a great job on limiting Jokic and Nurkic is scoring as well.
Also, Norman Powelle is the man, he steps up his game, and good thing he has given more trust in game 4.

Game 5, back to Denver.

Yes, 76ers won 132-103 and brought the score of the series to 3-0. J. Embiid (36 pts, 8 reb) and T. Harris (20 pts, 13 reb, 5 ast) showed a really good performance. I guess they will finish the job in the next game.

This is not a good series.

Bucks had their sweetest revenged, they sweep the Heat by winning game 4 with a score of 120-103.
Game 1 was only the closest Heat had, this is a terrible playoff for them, I don't know if we will still see this team intact next season.

Anyway, congratulations to the Bucks for sweeping the Heat, well done.

Indeed, Giannis is still very consistent with another triple-double in this game.

20 points, 12 rebounds, and 15 assists, while on the other hand, we have Butler who only scored 12 points from a 4/15 shooting.

We also can't forget Jrue Holiday's contribution with another almost double-double night, just one short with an assist.

Their performance is indeed one of the best this year since they swept the defending eastern conference champion. looks like we will gonna see some real action soon when Brooklyn defeats Boston in their next 2 games or we will see another upset if they defeated by Bostons in this round. nevertheless, I want to see the Milwaukee Bucks if they still play as they played Miami Heat in the next round as we can see they still have plenty of time to study their next opponents.

Based on the series odds now, it's unlikely that we will see an upset, Nets are 1.03 only to win the series, so I even doubt that Boston will again win in game 4. I think they will lose and Nets will celebrate at home in game 5.

I was thinking to myself, do you think if Tyler Herro had that sensational performance that he had in late 2020 and early 2021, the Heat would be able to win this series??

Maybe. His lack of experience is the only obstacle for his stardom. But I doubt the Heat will let him go. Young and energetic guys like him has a future for the NBA.
With just the right training and more playoffs experience I bet he will be a champion someday.
I mean, look at Clarkson. He's a good example of pure effort and hardworking brother and now he is the sixth man of the year.
Being traded to a good team like the Jazz is a bonus but everything he had done until now is all him.

Nuggets also on the brink of losing this series. They can't find their offensive power with Porter Jr not helping at all. Jokic cannot run the play all the time.
If its being repeated over and over it becomes a weakness.

I think the biggest problem here is butler, he is not playing at a high level, I guess his average in the first round is not even 20 ppg.
look at the stats, it's very low compared to the previous playoffs.

It's still too far I believe, it's about the game of adjustment, Blazers had adjusted very well in game 4, let's expect that the Nuggets will do the same. For now, it looks like Blazers are the favorites per homecourt, as they could give -4.5 at home while they are only +1.5 when playing at Nuggets homecourt.
