2025 NBA Season

Congratulations to NIKOLA JOKIC for winning THE 2021 NBA MVP AWARD.

It was a close match between Embiid but he actually deserves it as well. We haven't seen an NBA Center winning MVP since Shaq in 2000, I'm glad that he made it this year.

What can you say about Utah Jazz vs Clippers tomorrow? this is so interesting game to watch, many says that Clippers is underdog here but I don't think it is there roosters especially stars are well experience on playoffs and might they will beat the same what they do to Dallas where their experience prevails.

Its exciting to watch how Utah jazz perform to prove that they are not for playoffs team only.

First, Kawhi is back to his kind of game and it's scary. It may the key for the Clippers taking over this series against the Jazz.
I won't say Mavericks didn't defend him well, he is just that good but he had his bad nights too. I want to think the PG13 could have the same come back as him just like before.
The Jazz on the other hand has Mitchell back and their chemistry didn't fade away even if he was gone for quite some time.
Both offense and defensive end are almost identical, the centers position will be the crucial part with Gobert versus Zubac.
That's is where Jazz have the upper hand.

Yes Kawhi is doing a outstanding job to make his team advance on 2nd round but what if he struggle to score inside the paint? For sure their team will struggle, if we talk about George yeah he's good but quite not enough to lift his team to win a game. On Jazz side they are well blend since everyone can step up but let see how they out perform each other as I am excited to watch the game later on.

It is expected that George will really help Kawhi, but so far he hasn't had a break out game in their series against the Mavs. That's why many are still criticising Paul George. We will see if he will perform against a great defensive team like the Utah Jazz.

Sixers though has a good start against the Hawks, Harris taking advantage of his height and doing one on one. Atlanta shooting very bad in the first quarter and can't get thing going on their part.

Yeah, congratulations to Nikola Jokic. First Most Valuable Player in Denver Nuggets history.
Even with how strong the Nuggets before with JR Smith, Melo, and Kenyon Martin, none of them won a MVP award.
And because of that he can make more money after his contract.

He deserve it. He never missed a game with 72 games played during the regular season.

The sixers redeemed themselves on their first game loss. They showed how good they are today. I think this series will be a sixers series.  Maybe a game six 4-2.

It is expected that George will really help Kawhi, but so far he hasn't had a break out game in their series against the Mavs. That's why many are still criticising Paul George. We will see if he will perform against a great defensive team like the Utah Jazz.

It is a close match up and will be a battle of the coaches. Even if Pandemic P does not step up, I am hoping the role players can contribute in helping kawhi just like they did in their game 7 against Mavs.

We have a game between Jazz and Clippers, now it's Jazz time to comeback and making it close in the third quarter. Gonna be interesting how the game will turn out. Clippers just holding a slim margin and it's their turn to have a scoring drought. Hard to see, who will win in the end, perhaps defense will be the key here.

Great game so far they been going back and forth in the 2nd half and this is only game 1 this is going to be one hell of a series. But Utah looks great!

Ended with a defensive win. Rudy Gobert blocked Morris' 3 point attempt that could've tied the game for overtime.
That was some thrilling game that we witnessed. Playoff game on a high level.

Donovan Mitchell declared as player of the game. He did all the damage with 45 points. Then, there is Clarkson who made some big shots too.
Defending Leonard was the key for them to win the game by stopping him before he can even set himself for a drive in the paint.
Clippers were also in foul trouble and the Jazz is making bonus shots with 7 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Mitchell realized that and attacked the rim often.
Good strategy by the Jazz.

[btc_angela]

^^ Yes, Jazz started slow but they were able to turn around, I'm surprised that Clippers can't sustained and just melted under the pressure. Clarkson hitting 3's in the third quarter that gave them the lead and they didn't relinquished it.

Congrats to Jokic fans, I have a feeling that he will be the MVP based on his performance and the numbers he is putting this season. Expect him to play good in the next game against the Phoenix Suns.

Yeah, just one game, but Utah shows its strength already, coming back from a deficit and then hitting there three point shot. And you are right, defense win the game as Robert block the shot of Kawhi.

So let's see what adjustments Ty Lue will do in game 2. They can steal one game and take home court advantage. Luke Kennard is the surprised by tallying 18 points, mostly three's.

The Clippers has to limit the offensive firepower of the Jazz if they want to steal one game in Utah. They can't allow Mitchell and Clarkson to wax hot from the outside in game 2. I'm backing the Clippers in this series but seeing game 1, I'm a little bit scared that they will lose the series  . Gobert offensive contribution to the Jazz was not so evident but yet the Clippers lose so what if he explodes in the succeeding game, disaster for the Clippers I believe  .

The clippers are doing great in the first three-quarters of the game but slowly Mitchell step on the gas in the fourth quarter, and Clarkson, Bogdanovich let the clippers show why they are the top seed, also George need to be consistent, he's on and off when it matters the most because if he will be like that for sure the jazz will eat them alive in this series, then need to lock down Donovan Mitchell.

[LogitechMouse]

Yeah, congratulations to Nikola Jokic. First Most Valuable Player in Denver Nuggets history.

He deserve it. He never missed a game with 72 games played during the regular season.

He is healthy all throughout the season.
His passing ability has an effect towards other centers right now and because of that, we see some centers doing some insane passes. Well deserved and with that, he is the 6th International Player who won an MVP award.

Leading by 17 at the half, the Clippers can't sustain their lead and because of that they lose in Game 1.

That was a close game meaning these 2 teams are evenly matched and TBH, its really hard to predict who will win in this series knowing that they are matched. Mitchell had 45 points and Clarkson had 18. I just don't know how in the hell PG13 shot 4/17 in the field. He got 20 points yes but his shooting percentage :X. If only he had a better shooting then they might win on this game. We need a Playoff P not Pandemic P where he can't contribute that much.

Anyway, lets wait for Ty Lue's team for their adjustments in the next game .

That's how the playoff was! very exciting, I'm with the Clips but with how Jazz turned the game to their favor it really amazed me, they managed to
adjust and not to allow Kawhai to takeover, Congrats to all Jazz fans for snatching this game.

Congrats to Jokic fans, I have a feeling that he will be the MVP based on his performance and the numbers he is putting this season. Expect him to play good in the next game against the Phoenix Suns.

He deserved it more than to any  contenders, he didn't missed any game and he played all well, I'm rooting for him too aside from Luka  he also
help his team to reached  the semis. Congrats Joker!

I just like the Jazz vs Clippers.

I thought Clippers would win game 1 but the Jazz knows how to make a big run and win the game.
They were undermanned as they don't have Conley who is for me the best contributor in the series against the Memphis.
But no Conly, no problem for them.

Let's go CLippers, lol.. I'll bet on the Clippers in game 2.

I thought they'll get that clutch 3 to get the OT but God Gobert was just a defensive weapon of Jazz. Still, I guess the Clippers give the best they could and will still be rooting for them all the way to get the 4th win. The game between them was way too exciting to watch in this round and Mitchell was way unstoppable getting those points on the paint with those layups, I hope they'll contain him the next game.

The play was not properly executed, the defense of Jazz was there so it's a failed comeback by the Clippers.

Don't worry it's just one game, this is going to be a long series for sure.
Clippers will adjust and might take game 2, just saying.

[Ziskinberg]

Let's move on to the Clippers vs Jazz game.

What about the Suns vs Denver game 2. We know game 1 was not exciting, do you think game 2 is gonna be an exciting game, like a close game where we don't know who will win? I think the Nuggets handicap is too high, I believe they will bounce back, who's with me?

Yes, that last play. But what hurts the most is they still have 1 timeout available. Morris could not think clearly that moment because of the tall man all over his face.  
It should've been Kawhi who called for the timeout before passing it to Morris. They could've drawn a better option to make the three like Kennard who was hot with 4/6. It's just Game 1, and they gave the whole Utah fans some scary moments there. I hope we see those kind of games again to entertain us more.
I don't even have a bet for either team but I screamed my lungs out for Jordan Clarkson.

That was one of the best games I saw this playoff so far.

It was the Clippers who lead the game early, they lead by double-digit, and then Jazz had a big run and lead by double-digit, but the game ended up very close. It's one game, it does not hurt a lot on the Clippers as they are on the road, but if Jazz loses that game, things could be different going forward as they evenly match, the series odds is like 1.90 or something for each team.

I think the Nuggets handicap is too high, I believe they will bounce back, who's with me?

I'm with you with the handicap.

Deserved!!! The best player in the NBA this season with the best results indivudaly played all games didnt miss a single one of them with some amazing statistics. The results showed that it wasnt even close.
