2025 NBA Season

[rhomelmabini]

^^ Just a matter of time before the Heat find a way to stop Joel Embiid in their series.
And now they have dominated the Sixers and won huge with Jimmy Butler leading again. All of the Heat players scored in this game specially in the clean up minutes. Now up to 3-2, I seeing that the Heat are going to close this series next game. But it will not be like this, it will be close I reckon.

Looks like Embiid won't get there at NBA Finals once again if they miss this and Heat dominate on them. They need a team effort too for this to be extended and if there are internal disputes between players I think they need to abolish that first.

The round 4 match of GSW and Grizzlies will be tomorrow I think the GSW will going to end it and won't let the Memphis get another win against them. My parlay against Heat and Suns was really good as they both win the game today, do you think my bet for GSW tomorrow will be a good call? I am not that fan of basketball but I am a fan of GSW.

I think it's the 5th round not 4th. With Ja Morant's absence I guess that will be the case for the Memphis or for the Warriors to dominate and wait for the Western Conference Finals. I guess you got a good instinct there even if it's the Grizzlies home.

I have picked the Golden State Warriors as my team to win it all, but man the Phoenix Suns are really starting to make me second guess that decision. They are just such a complete team all around. The Miami Heat have been playing pretty well as well, but I’m not sure they have what it takes to do much past getting beyond the 76ers.

Why not? they have the momentum in this game and without Ja Morant, the Memphis team will have a difficult task winning against a hardened and battle tested GSW.

They are the favourite to win at 1.5x currently, this odds might go down as the game gets closer. So I do hope that you have bet on your team early to  take advantage of that line, there is also the handicap -4.5, although last time the Warriors didn't cover because the game was close.

Morant is "likely" out for the remainder of the post-season base on this article: LINK

I would like to give the Grizzlies a chance to win in Game 5 but for the remainder of this series and without Morant, I think the Warriors will win and they will even with Morant. The Grizzlies played well though even without him but its the playoffs and I think they have no chance to defeat a complete Warriors roster.

The Miami Heat have been playing pretty well as well, but I’m not sure they have what it takes to do much past getting beyond the 76ers.

The Suns-Warriors match-up will be like the Nets-Bucks match-up last season where the Bucks won. I expect this to be a very close one and even though I'm a Warriors fan, its hard to predict who will win on this one.

Embiid suffered again a right orbital fracture, the same injury that he got against the Raptors. Without him in Game 6, I don't know if the Sixers will beat the Heat even though Harden will play like how he played in Game 4. If he will not play in Game 6, the Heat will end it on the road.

Either of the 2 will be a good contender for the finals but to make a surebet, Just make a multiple bet on each team and adjust your bet size base on there odds. I’m a Golden States Warriors fan too but I have a gut feeling that Bucks and Suns will have a rematch this year on finals so I put my money on Bucks and just flip a few bucks on GSW and Suns just to make sure I still have some winning in case my prediction is not right.

Yes, it's hard and the fact that Suns has the home court advantage, they are surely be the favorite to win the series, that's where my bet on the Warriors will get a good odds.

Embiid suffered again a right orbital fracture, the same injury that he got against the Raptors. Without him in Game 6, I don't know if the Sixers will beat the Heat even though Harden will play like how he played in Game 4. If he will not play in Game 6, the Heat will end it on the road.

That's so unlucky, he was playing very well in game 3 and 4, and now that they have a chance of winning the series, he is suddenly out.

I think at home the sixers drag this to a game 7.  This series deserves a game 7.  Maxey will need to come up big or Tobias.  Someone other than Harden or bid has to put in the work.  I expect a tight game with a lot of free throws. 

[stadus]

Looks like the Miami Heat find a way to stop the 76ers from further gaining momentum and leading the series, they just stop Embiid and play hard defense against the 76ers holding them to score two digits only while they were sinking shots anywhere shape they performed. Does it look like Heat in 6? What about you guys? how do you see this game tonight, any chance for the 76ers to force a game 7 in their next game after what happened to Embiid, or are they will gonna lose the next one too?

It was a complete team effort from the Heat, they were able to limit Embiid all round, especially keeping him of the free throw line, he had only 3 free throw attempts all game long, I can't remember the last he had that little trip to the line, and Heat played great defense without picking up easy and early fouls.

I think the 76ers could still force a game 7, it's not all over yet.

Game 6 is set to be hosted by Sixers in Philadelphia, It is getting more interested to see what is their next move as the Heat only need 1 last win to close the series. They surely have succeeded in limiting Embiid's contribution and performance but I doubt that they can still do that again on the next game. Yes, I'm also rooting that the Sixers will force a game 7 and climb in the next round.

Actually, Warriors played better without Ja Morant. Look at game 4, it was Memphis who were leading in the game, Warriors just made a huge surge in the 4th quarter so they won, but in game 3, Ja Morant was the leading scoring and his teammates are just living in his shadow, so they are less effective.

I have a different point of view of what happened in Games 3 and 4, with and without Ja Morant. Game 3 was the start of homecourt advantage for the Warriors so the pressure will be there. While in Game 4 they are a bit calm although they played without Ja.
It's not that they are better without him, that's kind of disrespect for Ja. It's just that they had always been a better team with high chemistry and cerebral. But above that all, they will need their superstar to win a game, especially against strong teams like the Warriors.
That kind of rumor about the Grizzlies being better without him started in the season, but that's not true in my opinion.

Obviously the Grizzlies aren't better without Ja Morant.  That's crazy talk.  They have basically no chance at beating the Warriors without him.  We'll see that demonstrated tonight as the Warriors defeat the Grizzlies and move on to the next round where they'll meet up with the winner of the Suns vs Mavericks series. 

While the Warriors game will be a good one to watch as they hammer past the Grizzlies, the real fireworks might be in the Bucks vs Celtics game.  Al Horford did a lot of talking after the game about Giannis disrespecting him on "that dunk" where he stared him down and then set Al Horford on a rampage that cost them the game.  I expect tonight will have some Horford/Giannis magic as they both try to get the better of each other.

Probably, they started to be complacent in their last time until the last 8 minutes of the game when they saw that the Grizzlies are not going away for good. And it just so happened that they are a solid team so they were able to come back and win. But that was a very difficult thing to do, what if the Grizzlies won that game? So it's better for them to really put the pedal early and build a huge lead and win with some to spare in the last quarter.

Grizzlies lost the last game of the series they played and it is a 3-1 lead for Warriors now. Morant's absence caused this to happen also. Even in his absence, they still finished the game three points behind. If they played better in the last quarter maybe they could have won too. And it looks like he is out for the game tonight too. Another difficult game is waiting for Grizzlies but they can still benefit from playing home. I think the series won't end by this game.

It seems to me the Warriors and Suns will play against each other in the Western Conference finals. As for the Celtics vs. Bucks series, I think the Celtics have a good chance of winning the game tonight since they'll be playing on the home court. In addition, Horford has performed well in recent games, and I expect he'll be a key player for the Celtics again tonight.

It's gotten personal and I like it hehe. I find it entertaining when they play for their pride or for their ego since it adds an extra flavor to the series. I don't expect Horford to produce the same performance for game 5. His body probably won't allow it even if he wanted to play 40 minutes so somebody else had to step up and help Tatum.

I am not shocked that Sixers lost this game but the series is far from over. The series is at 3-2 right now and the next game could be sixers win, which will take to the game 7 and anything could happen in all 7th games that has played and will be played.

So, I wouldn't really bet on Heat to win right away, or at least see that as an easy win for the time being, if the odds are good then you can wager, but if they are giving low odds where you gamble, then it wouldn't really worth it. Warriors is the one that I trust the most, they have shown time and time again that they are the better team, something I expected from Suns and was wrong.

Coming from a dominant Game 1 and Game 2, Miami Heat becomes worst in Game 3 and Game 4 playing in the Sixers arena. We can expect that they will have the same status next game as the Sixers are really pumped up in front of their home crowd and it's hard to counter their momentum.

I will give a 70% chance that their series will be even the next game and a Game 7 will happen back in the Miami Heat's home arena.

But unfortunately for the Sixers, the Heat will finish them up in Game 7 and I will give 90% chance for that to happen.

Celtics established a good lead in the 2nd quarter, double digit but the Bucks are fighting it out at the end, 54-47.

Now it's the start of the 3rd, Boston still hanging on a slim 3 point lead as Giannis and Holiday is trying to have them get close and not allow the Celtics to established a big lead again. We will see if the Boston can hang on or the Bucks will steal this game.

[yazher]

That was just a heartbreaking loss for the Boston Celtics since they were up to 10+ points in the 4th quarter but they can't stop the 100% threes of the Milwaukee Bucks in the 4th quarter which dramatically cut the lead and in the last minutes, it was really a playoff game that we were excited about, the pressure, the excitement and the intelligent play in gathered there. Giannis is bloody but still managed to score big time and finally, it was Jrue Holiday again who play well both offense and defense were impressive and he just shut down the entire Celtics in their homecourt.

[Bttzed03]

Bucks defense and second chance points from their offensive rebounds made the come from behind win possible. They should also thank Marcus (not so) Smart Bucks will end this in 6 but goodluck to those who still think Celtics will force a game 7.

Grizzlies vs. Warriors just started. GSW should be able to finish the job in 5.

How the hell did Celtics lost that game? I mean with 4 minutes left they are still in front like 6 points and lost by 3?

I went out thinking that the Celtics has this one in the bag, homecourt advantage, plus a good lead and it seems that the Bucks are crumbling under pressure. But when I come back to see the score, was surprised of the turn of event. So yeah this is a heartbreaking lost and I don't know if they can recover from it.

[Reid]

Grizzlies came out great winning a game at a big blowout against the Warriors. 50+ lead that was just cut at the end of garbage time.

I see a lot of memes against Mike Brown and sadly I agree. A lot of timeouts was supposed to be called to stop the momentum or discuss the problem which he didn't do. A long run by the Grizzlies was happening and he is not even taking any timeout, I even saw him looked at the coaching staff like he don't know what to do.
Did Sacramento Kings made a good decision to make him their coach or he is just rusty from being an assistant coach for a long time? Let's see in Game 6.
