2024 NBA Season

[LogitechMouse]

Leonard's injury looks serious because his status now is "out indefinitely", and according to the news, it was an ACL injury and he might be out long term. We never know if he will come back in the next round or the WCF, but without him, I think the Clippers will suffer against the healthy Suns.

That's very unfortunate news for the Clipper's fan out there. Without Leonard, I doubt if they can win this series against the Jazz, and if ever they do win, they might be sweep by the Suns IMO. The odds for game6 are already out and the Clippers are the slight underdog which means that bookies are anticipating a Jazz win especially that Mike Conley is expected to be back in that game.

We've seen how long KD took to recover from his injury. It maybe not the same but the time frame in recovering in this kind of injuries whether its Achilles or ACL is very long and possible it will take a season if its severe. Just see what happened to Klay since he suffered an ACL.

His chances of returning in WCF if they will win is very slim knowing that it is an ACL and putting more pressure on it might affect not only his team but his career in general as well. If the Clippers will win into this series, they might face the Suns without CP3 because he is still in a quarantine facility and we don't know how long will he stay there.

Now with regards to Conley coming back in Game 6, the Jazz have an upper hand here but the momentum is still in the Clippers and knowing that they are playing in their home their chances of winning might increase. If the Clippers will win in this series, it will be an easier fight for the Suns to the NBA Finals.

It's unfortunate that major injuries have definitely altered this entire playoffs almost.  Seems more now than I can remember.  Knicks never really had injuries but could have used some injuries to bench most of their starters lol.

... I'm most concern on Joel, it seems that he has aggravated that knee again in the 3rd when he try to go for a block on Trae or Lou's attempt.

That's a possible reason why he stopped attempting to block inside the paint. Trae dropped a lot of points in the 4th while he watches. I thought he was just extremely tired from working a lot in three quarters.

... Who we gonna watch then ?

Ben hehe.

There is a good chance Jazz could make a comeback this series as well, I know that Clippers went ahead thanks to this game but they are missing Kawhi, and that means PG has to play like this every game and I doubt that he can, he hasn't been able to play like this for a long time, this was just one game, maybe he is actually good when Kawhi is not around and that's his thing, be the star or be nothing, but I still think Jazz has a good chance to win it.

Hawks on the other hand is a weird situation, I can't say sixers will comeback and win, there is a good chance they may not end up winning as well, Hawks is a team none of us seen them at conference finals, a Nets vs Hawks conference finals will be a weird one but I will still take it, since I do not have a dog in the fight it doesn't matter if it is sixers or hawks but I certainly believe they will be underdogs in that series as well.

I didn't notice that, he just looked like he was tired because he was the one who is providing a lot in the offense and made good defense as well. Also, the hack on Simmons seems to work a bit on the Hawks, he is really a liability when it comes to free-throw shooting, reason why he was taken out sometimes and that's where the Hawks attack the paint.

Irving is still out in game 6.
https://www.netsdaily.com/2021/6/16/22537332/practice-notes-harden-active-and-irving-out-for-game-6

Harden and Durant are still playing, but let's hope Harden will improve his offense in game 6 so they can finish the series.
This is good for nets bettors as they are the underdog again, put a bet on ML, and enjoy a good winning.

It should not be a problem for the Nets, they won last game without Irving, so I believe they can do it again. Nets don't need a big 3 to beat the Bucks, with Durant's supreme basketball talent, he will be able to bring the team to a win as long as he gets some support from his teammates.

Bookies are wrong to list them as +5.5 points underdog.

I don't think that the bookies are wrong putting the Nets as underdog.

Next game will be at Bucks home court and probably that is the reason they are the favorite to win the next game. So let's see if Giannis will perform better, what I mean is that he is doing good in this series, scoring 30+ but he is over shadowed by Durant. And as the season is on the line, he needs to step up here and forced game 7.

Bookies will never be wrong because no one knows the outcome of the game, they can even put +10 nets in this game, and we will still see people betting on it. We just have our own opinion so we find it wrong, maybe the right term to use is that the team is either overvalued or undervalued in the betting lines.

Without Kyrie and Harden still not 100%, placing Nets as underdog is fair enough, considering also that they are visiting team and we all witness how Bucks take game 4 from them.

Though if KD play the same intensity bringing everything in his shoulder, the chance still high for them to win, and like what you have said Giannis needs to step up if he wants to push this series into do or die game, Him and Middleton should help each other to keep their distance near from the Nets.

Expect Durant and Giannis to have another monstrous games, player props might good to consider from this game if you are unsure which team to back up.

You are right, but since both are really performing consistently well in the series, you'll have to take a high player props.

Just like the total points per player.

Durant, over/under 35.5
Giannis over/under 33.5.

Do you think it's a great idea to take the over?

[goinmerry]

Durant, over/under 35.5
Giannis over/under 33.5.

If the odds are good then go. Something like around @1.8 to @2.0

Likely, Durant will reach over 35.5 but I doubt with Giannis since there are lots of options for their offensive unless it will be like Game 3 where Giannis and Middleton only score the whole game for them.

I'm sure some of their teammates will step up on Game 6 as that will be their last game if they will lose.

[nelson4lov]

I'm getting ready for a very interesting showdown in less than an hour. Since the start of the series, I've took the sides of Bucks because of my homeboy Giannis who has been red hot all season. If it happens that Bucks loses tonight along with their playoffs plan for this year, I'm glad they fought back when they had the chance to. They came back in the series during game 3 and 4 but lost that huge first half lead in game 5 which I didn't expect them too. Nets just too advantage of the fact that Bucks couldn't add any points to their tally. Anyway, I'm going with Player props tonight on assists rather than ML, totals or any other markets.



I'm pumped for the game. Big night for another Giannis vs KD battle.

Leonard's injury looks serious because his status now is "out indefinitely", and according to the news, it was an ACL injury and he might be out long term. We never know if he will come back in the next round or the WCF, but without him, I think the Clippers will suffer against the healthy Suns.

That's very unfortunate news for the Clipper's fan out there. Without Leonard, I doubt if they can win this series against the Jazz, and if ever they do win, they might be sweep by the Suns IMO. The odds for game6 are already out and the Clippers are the slight underdog which means that bookies are anticipating a Jazz win especially that Mike Conley is expected to be back in that game.

ACL is a serious injury, if it's a severe one then it will be the end of the season for Leonard, but I just hope that it's not that bad, just when PG starting to be the player as before, Leonard goes down, this I like when he was in OKC, I don't know if this is really just unfortunate or what, but I hope to see those two play together win or loose because we don't want to have any excuses from someone saying something like they are not complete, they could have won.

That's bad news, if I'm not mistaken, Durant suffer the same injury, a torn ACL and it took him at least a year to recover. So let's see if PG can continue to carry the Clippers team, better to think it one game at a time. They have a good chance to upset the top seed Utah Jazz next game, it will be on their home court so there's one advantage for them. Morris Sr and Jackson is also doing very well in this series, so that's a big help.

That will be a win with just an assists shy. He is now at 3.  Nice catch right there.
Yeah, I also put a lot of bets for player props. We only have one game today and I showered everything unto it.
First half just ended and I got one win already.

Bucks should be careful with Harden now if they want to win this game. It's not just KD they will need to defend excessively using Tucker.
Jrue Holiday might need to step up because the Beard is starting to get his rhythm once again. 3/4 in the three point range.

[Dave1]

Bucks went on a 14-0 run after the Nets close the gap to 5 points. Giannis with a lay up and a dunk and then Middleton three point and one. The Nets went cold after a Harris three and then Durant has multiple turn overs during that stretch.

Now we have game 7, but the Nets has the advantage because it's going to be in their back court. So it will be very interesting as to who will advance. The Nets is the early favorite to win the series and even the NBA trophy, but their season is on the line now, without Kyrie Irving.

[Fredomago]

Durant, over/under 35.5
Giannis over/under 33.5.

Do you think it's a great idea to take the over?

Both went Under, KD only got 32 while  Giannis only have 30,

Bucks really dominates the Nets in this entire game, the help that KD needs from his teammate is not there, Jeff Green offense was missing

He have a big part of that win from  Game 5, and Even Shamet he only have 2points playing with 22 minuts, not the stat that you'll going to like since they are trying to close the series.

Moving forward, we will see a do or die game 7 for sure we will see a much tougher competition between this 2 East super teams.

What an exciting series between Bucks vs Nets.
Khris Middleton was on fire. I believe, in game 7 it will be even more exciting.

I was looking the game stats and I realized, the Bucks had 51 rebounds, 15 of which were offensive and they also had 6 blocks.

I believe the Bucks played with a lot of desire and determination to not lose the game.

Yes, they are in the zone defensively.
I never thought Tucker could defend Durant that way. They even discuss how they move while the game is on, which is funny. Sportsmanship is intact and I hope they can continue this kind of game without the need to fight with their fists or headbutts.
You could not see the effect of what Tucker did on the stat sheet but yet if he wasn't there Bucks might have already fallen in Game 4.
What did the Nets lack to lose the game? Joe Harris. MIA with outside shots.
