Your NBA Champion this season?

[carlisle1]

Might be tough for them but they needed to snatch 1 win on the road because the Warriors have done it on their own homecourt but yes, that will be challenge for them as the Warriors are known to produce big numbers at the Chase Center, it's already proven! By the way, Brooks is suspended on Game 3 and Adams will probably return on Game 3.

Warriors win twice at home the series now 3-1, Memphis needs to win at home to extend this series. Else, Warriors will finish them and take

some good rest before moving to WCF. All teams are aiming to have a home court advantage and take extra time doing drills and practices for

much competitive game plan. We saw experienced against young teams earlier. Even GSW was down most of the time to that huge rally to win

the game is something that really brings the entertainment fans love to watch, the warmed support boosts the players' confidence.

[Sanitough]

I would be quite surprise if Warriors could win the title. Of course they are a great team and they have Curry but I just feel like they are missing something from being a champion team. But on the other hand, if their big 3 -Poole, Klay and Curry- performs as much as or even better than expected, then they have a shot. Still, they are lacking a strong and dominant big man. By the way, I like Draymond Green a lot but I think they are still lacking a more over-all big man to become biggest champion contender. If they match with Bucks in the finals, I don't think they will be the favourite of that series.

Actually, it's not that surprising anymore if they win this season because they are also very competent let alone they now have a lethal big three who mostly scores deep threes anywhere outside the paint, but that fact alone cannot be a factor that they can win this season because there are also other teams that is hard to defeat as they have some defensive players whereas the GSW do not have.

Green is good in defense, it's just that he is not suitable to be a center because his strengths won't be much effective. I really agree that they have to have a dominant big man in the center.

Do you believe that after the Mavs' victory over the Suns yesterday, it shows how weak or fragile the Phoenix team is?

I can't comment on that since, in those 2 lost games by the Suns, they didn't show their 100% performance. If only they gave their 100% and still lose, I can conclude that Dallas Mavericks are really ahead of them.

Returning from home, Phoenix Suns will do everything to take the lead in this series. However, I'm with the Mavericks to win.

If let's say the Suns will lose here, there will be more critics of Chris Paul about being a choker in playoffs, as always.

Same here, I also cannot honestly give some opinion on if the Mavericks is really already that ahead of the Suns. The series is still tied and there's still room for the Suns to answer back and bounce back after getting defeated twice in a row. I won't deny that the Mavericks are really threatening the Suns position here but the latter team won't surely back down that easily especially for what have happened on Game 4.

Now that Embiid seems to be healthy enough to carry the 76ers, I wouldn’t put it past them to make it to the Finals. I like the Embiid/Giannis matchup and hope we get to see them in the Eastern Conference Finals. Also hoping we see a Warriors/Suns matchup in the West. I like Embiid and the Sixers though. I think they’ve got a decent shot at winning it all if Embiid can continue getting healthier. I really feel like the Bucks/Sixers/Warriors are the only teams left capable of winning the championship at this point with the Bucks still being the defending champions and team to beat.

I would be much comfortable believing that Bucks would be in the ECF if Bucks did not blow out their lead in their last game. Now, the series between Bucks and Cetics are on a best of 3 only, if Bucks will beat the Celtics at home, then most likely we can expect that will happen.

For the East, this scenario below would be possible.

76ers beat heat in game 5 and 6 = semi finals Winner
Bucks beat Celtics in game 5 and 6 = semi finals winner

[chaser15]

All championship odds are now lowered because of few teams only playing right now.

While more games are finishing, expect lower odds day by day.

I hope OP or you guys are able to place your bet early like what I did even before the playoffs started. The team I picked is still playing and I hope they will pass that monster team in their series right now.

Yeah, but it will take a toll on Joel to win against the Heat. Miami is the top seed, it will be a big upset if they didn't win their series agains the 76ers here.

For the Bucks vs Celtics, starting to look good for Celtics after that huge victory against Giannis to even up the series. So still very hard to predict if we are going to see Embiid/Giannis in the finals for the East.

[ChiBitCTy]

Well after picking the New Jersey Net's to win it all, I am still a bit stunned that they are already out of it.  I thought for certain that they would at least make the conference finals.  However since they are out I've got to pick a new team to win it all so I'm definitely heading towards putting my money on the Golden State Warriors.  Those guys are just too good. Steph and Klay potentially the first and second best shooters of all time, that's a lot to handle for any team.

Well, in my opinion, I really like how the Warriors used to be they surely need a big guy, maybe like Giannis Antetokounmpo level or a Lebron James level of a player too but I think Stephen Curry can sure score inside the paint as well, even though he has many defenders inside, and the likely three of them now that are consistent in scoring outside is kind of lethal to any team, and I will not like if they have taken all great superstars inside their team, the level of competition is not there anymore, and likely they will not discover young blood like Jordan Poole, Jonathan Kuminga, James Wiseman, and Moses Moody that are constantly evolving to be superstars.

Well... I've been analyzing some games and I noticed that some teams don't seem to be having the performance I was imagining they would, which in this case would be the Phoniex Suns!!

Do you believe that after the Mavs' victory over the Suns yesterday, it shows how weak or fragile the Phoenix team is?

Well, I don't want to blame Chris Paul on certain things but he is very off on game 2 it's like the Dallas Mavericks are getting into his head so much that it is changing his game output, and when the time when he got foul out and the fans of the Mavericks have gotten into his family it has gotten into his system, and on their match today he only made 2 rebounds 10 Assist and 7 points, he surely got many assists but I think it was not enough although they have won against the mavericks on their 3rd game,

It was a devastating loss for the Brooklyn Nets and it was a sweeping win for the Boston Celtics that got them, but the game was really close the Boston Celtics just know how they can defend the Brooklyn Nets, and the gameplay of the Nets is kind of normal for Basketball, and that is to pass the ball to either Kyrie Irving, or Kevin Durant and let them do the Scoring, this kind of gameplay will not surely work against the Boston Celtics, and that was the time they likely just defending 2 players of the Nets and it was too easy for them.

Miami just took another win at home, making it harder to predict to who will be the winner of this series.
The game will be host back to sixers and Embiid will try to win to push the series in a do-or-die game. It would be very interesting
If they will be able to manage to win and try to upset the top seeder from the East. Though seems that the Heat already found the
best system to limit all Sixes stars.

The other side of East series, Boston, will try to protect a home court advantage here, after beating bucks at home and ties the series
now they are the one who will try to take the lead if they will win their upcoming game..

Sixers looks like the same team the Heat beat in game 1 and 2, and even worst.
home court is a big factor in this series, they are dominating the home court, so I hope that sixers will even the series and we will have a close game 7.

The other side of East series, Boston, will try to protect a home court advantage here, after beating bucks at home and ties the series
now they are the one who will try to take the lead if they will win their upcoming game..

We will see if Celtics will be able to lead the series tomorrow, it's also a tough challenge as Bucks (defending champion) is a good team defensively.

Nobody had really expected that the Nets would be swept by the Celtics in the 1st round of eliminations, actually their closest win is only on Game 1 but on the following games is really hard to deny that Celtics really dominated the whole team because of their monstrous offense and tight defense.

The GSW is a good bet but the odds now are not that juicy enough unlike when they are still in the 1st round, but yes, there is a high chance that they would be a candidate on the Finals and maybe win this season.

I'm really not seeing the Dallas Mavericks getting in the Finals this year, they sure have been good this season but I cannot help to say that they are now against a tough team who would still dominate any team despite being undermanned and now that they are back and healthy, it's really hard for Mavericks to beat the Suns.

[gagux123]

Yes, what you commented makes sense... I feel very bad knowing that CP3 is not the same as it used to be, he's getting older and that's clear!

Before he retires I would REALLY like him to win his first NBA championship ring.

I hope this setback passes and the Suns are able to perform better in games in the future

It's not Chris Paul getting older but in every playoffs game, he used to be choked at some games. He is consistent for that even if you looked at the records.

Good thing that his teammates, those originally drafted as Phoenix Suns are doing their best to win the game.

If CP3 continues to be inconsistent and they pass the series, it will be hard for them to match the Golden State Warriors.

Dallas Mavericks @ 19.70
Memphis Grizzlies @ 45

Odds for winning the Western Conference Champion. Not sure what's the current odds for them winning the NBA Finals. It's like saying these teams are now out of the NBA Finals discussion which makes sense. But I'm not giving up the Dallas Mavericks.

Win or Go Home, Sudden-death, Do-Or-Die is their status next game.

I hope at least they can force a Game 7 against the dominant Phoenix Suns.

But still, until we didn't see the result, Dallas Mavericks are still alive in the series.

Just a trivia, on this day, the Dallas Mavericks were able to even the series in Game 6 against Phoenix Suns in the 2006 Western Conference Finals. Later on, they won the Conference Championship and reach the Finals against the Miami Heat.

Maybe a repeat?

We know how they play and those synchronize of their game play still one of the dominating teams when the first championship of the GSW i follow their steps right now and they will never fail me with this Also the characteristics of the player recently changes too unlike on their start of the gameplay well i guess its part to give more impact. Also the offense of Green becomes more aggressive than usual gameplay and Klay now is one of the player can layer really to Curry.

The odds telling you the sign to stay away on betting on it. haha, Anyway Grizzlies show a sign of revival after doing a massive 30+ point lead as revenge to GSW same massive lead on there game 5. The Western Conference matches is surely interesting because team like Mavs and Grizzlies are giving a good fight against dominant teams. I'm looking forward too for game 7 for more match to bet since match total over score is a bit favorite result of west teams and I consistently winning on this type of bet. Mavs still has a chance to tie the series they are dominant with home court advantage.

There are possibilities, they are after all the number 1 team on the standings in the Western Conference, and a team with the most wins in the NBA they have 64 wins but as a Golden State Warriors fan I highly doubt like the Dallas Mavericks is a formidable team to beat with Luka Doncic on the team, they surely have a hard time but they are in the lead against the Mavericks and I am also rooting for their win against the Dallas Mavericks and I think Chris Paul just needs to calm down and focus on the game more than on the issue with the Maverick fans,

We know how they play and those synchronize of their game play still one of the dominating teams when the first championship of the GSW i follow their steps right now and they will never fail me with this Also the characteristics of the player recently changes too unlike on their start of the gameplay well i guess its part to give more impact. Also the offense of Green becomes more aggressive than usual gameplay and Klay now is one of the player can layer really to Curry.

I really love their play, with the Synchronize movement and fast pace of passing the ball it's evident that it is not because of 1 or 3 people, all 5 on the court are doing something, and that is why for me that level of play is surely worthy to behold too, but in the recent game against the Memphis Grizzlies, and that was without their star player Ja Morant they are struggling because they are not ready against the Grizzlies that doesn't have Ja Morant, surely that tactics of the Memphis Grizzlies have surprised the Warriors and all they need to do is change the pace and strategy of their gameplay,
