Your NBA Champion this season?

[Viscore]

Yup, you're definitely right about that mate! Honestly though, I'm really seeing that they could upset the Goldenstate Warriors on this series because if they can exhaust the Phoenix Suns just like that after having a 0-2 run then they really have some chance to upset another favorite team this season.

Luka's average PPG in playoffs are off the charts already and that ain't easy to achieve. His consistency will indeed pay off this time with of course some help of his team.

Who knows, right? We will only conclude this series after we watch the games, but with how Mavs eliminates the Suns the chance is possible to repeat that and win the west finals, still early though and knowing that they will be facing a complete set of skills and talents a team who also have capabilities of turning things in favor on them.

I'm expecting to see another do-or-die series if Luka will have the same support from his team not only with their offense but mostly

on their defense,.

Now that Luka has succeeded in turning down Suns, i guess he will still be consistent and focus more with the help of his team on how to shut down Warriors this time. However, Warriors on the other hand is also preparing for this as they have witnessed how the Mavs overwhelmed and dominated the Phoenix Suns. Whatever the result in the end, whoever will be held as the champion, that team is certainly the best among the rest, though all teams in this season are definitely exceptionally skilled.

After the performances of Boston Celtics and of Dallas Mavericks in their 7 games series which they prevailed, they are one of the contenders now in my opinion. They were not so before. Especially Dallas played surprisingly well and balanced against the strong Phoenix Suns, I was quite surprised. I thought Phoenix Suns were on their way to the title actually. At this stage, all teams are playing so greatly and we would not be surprised if any of them gets the title. Miami Heat was doing great in 2020 except the final series, I am expecting more from them this time. Especially Tyler Herro is much better and he should play solid if he wants to be one of the greatest players. But they have tough competition in the west.

Sharing your comment...

I confess... I was surprised with the victory of the Celtics and Mavericks.
I had strong indications, the Suns and Bucks will win, but they didn't!

Unfortunately in the game 7, the Suns performed poorly, it was unrecognizable! The Bucks was same thing... 3point shoot 12.1%, against 40% of the Celtics.
That was incredible!

The game between Warriors vs Mavericks will be VERY interesting... let's see what these conference finals awaits us!

[btc_angela]

The Suns as the favorite to become the champion this season is not going to happened obviously as they have lost to a great Mavs team who defeated them in their own back yard. CP3 again falling short after a good regular season run and winning 60+, a franchise record. It just to happened that they have to one of the best player in this series in Luka Doncic.

The favorite now is Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics.

[wheelz1200]

Now that we are down to 4 teams I didn't expect any of these teams to be left lol.  So if I had to pick I'd say it will be golden state versus Boston, with golden state dominating the series.  Don't like golden state, but I thought Memphis was the best team in the field and GS took care of them.

Surprised me too. I didn't expect the Mavs to be in the Conference Finals or maybe even the Finals if they can defeat the Warriors.
I am happy they took care of the Jazz because that team really sucked in the playoffs just like last year. But defeating the Phoenix Suns? That's some feat they showed there and I bet they are all full of confidence now which is good.
It will be a difficult road though from hereon as they will be up against an experienced team who made it to the Finals many times and they are hungry again.

The Warriors may become the champion again.

If I'm being honest I had the mavs counted out first round, I thought they matched up oddly against the Jazz.  This feels kinda like the year they won ot with Dirk.  Wasn't buying in until they just kept rolling in the playoffs.  Don't get to see Luka day to day so it's been a pleasure watching the dude Ball out.  He's different

That's what I even noticed too at the majority especially when Luka Doncic is reportedly out from the first 2 to 3 games in the first round because of his unexpected injury a few days before the playoffs started. That boosts the odds of the Mavericks winning the championship. Others concluded already that Jazz will beat the Mavericks after the 1-0 advantage in Game 1 which added another boost from the odds of the Mavericks. But Brunson steps up when Luka is on a recovery period and later on, they beat the Jazz without even a big struggle.

Against the Suns, the same impression on the Mavericks that they won't stand a chance of beating the West's top seed but it didn't happen.

Now with 4 teams remaining, did anybody already put bets here on who will win the NBA title or still thinking?

[Dart18]

Miami Heat is my vote to win this 2022 Championship. The addition of Tucker is a boost to their defense and then Victor Oladipo getting his minutes back is  to tie up with the speed needed for offense. Tyler Herro being the 6th man of the year leading the bench will bring out a big contribution.
I don't think there are teams more balanced than them.
All other 3 teams namely Celtics, GSW, and Mavs will lean with small ball play style. Bam Adebayo could dominate the paint both offensively and defensively.

Now that the last year's rival in the NBA finals has gone, I preferred new teams this time and I think the Mavs have all the chances to defeat GSW if they managed to pull out the same gameplay when they beat the number 1 team in the western conference but this is the conference final and not the same as the games they have won in the fast and I think this is the first time Luka managed to push his team up to this point, I really wanted him to win the championship since he might not get any chance to step back in this point in the future.

I was a Suns fan  before and I always bet on them but Mavericks change my mind and impressed me on there last 3 fights. Suns show an early strong performance but Mavericks show resiliency on there tough games. They always manage to come back strong every time they have a severe defeat. I think they can handle GSW and probably they can force game 7 or 4-2 if they will maintain same level of performance while GSW choke like what they are showing on there previous matches against Grizzlies that they are outperformed on 3 points shot contest.

As much as I want to see the Mavs winning the championship again since Dirk, but on the contrary I'd really love to see the Boston Celtics succeed this time. I mean they have been working so hard since LeBron was still in Cleveland but they can't get passed on the ECF. Now, that they're facing Miami another tough opponent, I know they can make it.
Whichever team goes out to the Finals from the West, I'm pretty sure Boston can match them.

Luka was the talk of the town and it was really a shame that the defending Western Finals champs hasn't defend it. Well, the ball is round and Luka was just really amazing with every bucket he shot with a smile in his face. I think it won't be easy though to pull that out from the GSW's deadly lineup.

In the East, it was the same story in town and the Heat roster wasn't that easy to handle as well by the Celtics if they are still getting choked up during the 4th quarter just like what they did with the Bucks.

I am not sure about the match between Miami and Boston, can anoyone here give their opinion about tomorrows match? I see that Miami has a 1.5 odds while Boston have 2 odds but based on the performance from their last matches Boston celtics performs well on their last opponent but this would be a different match do you think the first win will be for the Celtics or Miami?

ya.ya.yo!

Its hard to tell on which of this team will get the first win on conference finals since both of them are good teams also we cannot compare each team because winning on their last opponent is not enough to know on which of them will on their first game. So much better if you choose what team do you like because for sure we can see a great duel of talents starting tomorrow.

Game 1 is very unpredictable, but even if Celtics will lose in game 1, it doesn't say that they will lose in the series. Remember, they lose in game 1 against the Bucks, but they bounce back to even the series and steal one game also on the road. Now, they are on the road, if they lose twice in a row, that's alright as long as they also win 2 straight on their home court to even the series.

[ChiBitCTy]

It’s been a pretty crazy playoffs in the NBA this season. My pick to win it all was originally the New Jersey Nets and we all know what happened there with a surprising first round knock out. After that I was pretty convinced that the Golden State Warriors would take it all down and still believe that to be the case. I am kind of shocked to see both the Celtics and Mavs to have made it this far but I just don’t think either has what it takes to win it all. But we shall see!

Dallas here is probably the biggest surprise in the playoffs, we don't expect that they'll beat the Suns and dominated the best team on their home court, that's unfair. However, people are still not sold with what Dallas have showed, they still believe that they will lose against the Warriors and that Warriors will win the championship.

[carlisle1]

Yes, we can't say who's going to win in game 1. The advantage is on the winning team playing in front of their fans

Hearing a huge amount of cheers. They will be boosted with support coming from the people who love supporting the team.

Remember, they lose in game 1 against the Bucks, but they bounce back to even the series and steal one game also on the road.

That series is different, but we never know if how both the teams will comes up with plans and execute..

Now, they are on the road, if they lose twice in a row, that's alright as long as they also win 2 straight on their home court to even the series.

As long as they will bounce back, even they lose the first 2 games, they can still bounce back and tie it up at home.

They just need to work harder trying to win this one and finally be back in the world finals.

I agree! I know it's still premature to tell, however the chances will be good if they will be consistent like what they did on the Phoenix Suns. Surely there would be some adjustments first on the both teams and the Dallas Mavericks should prepare well this time because Goldenstate Warriors ain't an easy team to bring down especially when they're playing at home.

[goinmerry]

because Goldenstate Warriors ain't an easy team to bring down especially when they're playing at home.

The same goes for the Phoenix Suns arena where it's one of having the loudest audiences in the league. Phoenix Suns' winning rate in their home arena is over 90% but the Mavericks are able to still play well against their large crowd.

I'm sure Mavericks are already used to playing against the big crowd and they can expect it once they played at the Warriors' homecourt as we know how big the audiences are here and almost a big distraction already to the away team.

Celtics is a no-shocker to me because I predicted them and the Warriors to be facing in the NBA Finals and I'll stick with it even though they are down 10 as of this moment against the Heat in the 4th quarter with 8 minutes remaining.

The Mavericks is the one who shocked not only me but all of the people watching including the analysts as well. Until now, I can't move on on what Kidd said in the interview which is “A lot of people said this would be a blowout. Well, they were right” . Its surprising to see them until this point and with their victory against the Suns, there are some who are opting them as the winner against the Warriors.

Whatever happens, I'll stick with Warriors and Celtics facing in the NBA Finals and I'll pick Warriors as the NBA champions.
