♛♛♛The Finals - NBA Prediction Tournament♛♛♛

[inthelongrun]

Round 7 Ranking

Alrayt! Ang hirap naman e-predict ng mga laro kanina. Nanalo nga ang Jazz pero 1 point lang din. Minalas ang pagbalik ni Luka. Yung Toronto mukhang ayaw pa bumitaw. Tanging si ralle14 lang ang nakapag score ng positive ngayong araw. Bawi tayo mamaya.


****harizen's Philadelphia pick was invalid dahil yung oras ng pag post ay lagpas 2AM na.

Milwaukee Bucks -4.5
Denver Nuggets +4.5

Nung nawala si Khris Middleton sa line-up ay mukhang nagising itong Bucks. Inaasahan kong magiging aggresibo ito be it on Giannis or kung higpitan at mapigilan ng Bulls si Giannis ay magiging opportunity pa din ito ng kanyang mga shooting team mates.

Sa Denver naman. Di ko pa rin iiwan si MVP sa kanyang laban kontra GSW. Kailangan talaga manalo kahit isang beses man lang.

[bisdak40]

Bulls +4.5
Warriors -4.5

Ang hirap spellingin ng mga laro ngayon lalo na yong kanina. Kung hindi nanalo yong Wolves, sa kangkongan sana ako pupulutin hehe.

For tomorrow, tingin ko babawi ang Bulls dito, hindi pwede na tambakan sila uli ng ganon-ganon lang, wala si Middleton, tinambakan pa sila kaya tingin ko dikitan tong laro mamaya at may pag-asa ang Bulls na maitabla yong series sa 2-2.

Warriors to for sure, judging from Jokic's body language, pagod na siya, siya lang naman yong consistent sa team nila, wala siyang back-up hindi kagaya ng Warriors na kung hindi puputok yong isa, may dalawa pang reserba kaya tingin ko 4-0 sweep to mamaya.

[ralle14]

Muntik na mag 3-0 kanina kaso na hold ng Timberwolves yung 4th quarter akala ko mauulit na naman kasi grabe yung momentum ng laban kasi parating salitan ng sunod sunod na puntos.

Tuloy ko lang ang mga pag pili sa top seeded teams dahil mukhang nakapag adjust kaagad ang Bucks at Phoenix kahit wala yung isang key player nila. Inaasahan ko i-close out na to ng Warriors mamaya kahit gusto ko maka isa ang Denver at tingin ko magiging desperado sila since walang gusto ma sweep ng 4-0 pero kinakapos talaga sila sa firepower kailangan nila si Murray sa susunod.

Milwaukee Bucks -4.5
Warriors -4.5
Phoenix Suns -2.5

[yazher]

Nag decide ako na hindi na muna mag predict kahapon para naman makapagpahinga, grabe naman ang tindi ng laban kanina, sa palagay ko kung nag predict ako ay, lalong madaragdagan ang negative points ko  

For tomorrow, ang mga pipiliin ko ay,

Milwaukee Bucks
Golden State Warriors
Miami Heat
Phoenix Suns

[chaser15]

Round 8

Wala pa rin akong positive score. Nanghihinayang ako di ako nakalapag dito ng maaga. Sure ako sa Denver Nuggets at ayun nga nanalo sila.

1. Atlanta Hawks +2.5
2. Phoenix Suns

Sana tamaan ko ito para mabawasan iyong negative score ko lol.

[harizen]

My picks for Batch 8: (ito na lang ang mga naabutan ko at nalasing kagabi)

Atlanta Hawks +2.5 - Halos pantay din ang dalawang team na ito. Tingin ko mananalo ang Atlanta Hawks dito and they will even the series.

Phoenix Suns - Alam na ng Phoenix Suns mag-adjust kahit wala si Devin Booker. For sure, they will take this game again if they will keep the same playing last time.

[inthelongrun]

Round 8 Ranking

- Mukhang minalas yung prediction ni kabayan harizen. May hangover pa ata.  
- At nawakasan na din ang winning streak ng GSW. Boston Celtics na lang ang di pa nakatikim ng talo ngayong playoffs.
- Naging super saiyan itong Milwaukee Bucks simula nawala si Khris Middleton.
- Kabayan bisdak40 mukhang bearish season jan sa inyo ah.

1. Game venue: Brooklyn

[Oasisman]

Balik zero na pala score ko at lahat ng participants ay mukhang naka bearish mode lol.
Ok, here's my pick for tomorrow.

1. Game venue: Brooklyn
Brooklyn Nets

2. Game venue: Philadelphia
Toronto Raptors +7.5

3. Game venue: Dallas
Dallas Mavericks

Sana maka bawi 😁 Good luck everyone!!

[inthelongrun]

Philadelphia 76ers -7.5
Dallas Mavericks -3.5

Mahirap nga masyado mag-predict ngayon. Ilang beses ko na rin naisipan na magpass muna pero nakaka-challenge din.

Tingin ko ay tatapusin na ng Philadelphia itong Toronto Raptors. Wag lang ma-short sa spreads. At sa kabilang dako naman ay magpakitang gilas sina Luka Doncic at mga kasamahan sa pagbabalilk nito sa kanilang Dallas homecourt. 

[yazher]

Ano ba klaseng prediction yan? 2-2 ako kanina hindi manlang naka chamba haha. ganon talaga ang laro mabuti na nga hindi nadagdagan yung negative ko  

Ok ito naman ung prediction ko para bukas at para maganda at kaabang2x, sa Brooklyn pa rin ako hanggang sa kanilang huling sandali sa NBA playoffs ngayong season.  


Brooklyn Nets
Philadelphia 76ers
Utah Jazz

[ralle14]

Grabe lahat tayo palubog sa leaderboards 

Kahit trap yung odds may tiwala pa rin ako sa Celtics tingin ko magiging desperado na rin ang Nets katulad ng nangyari sa Nuggets kanina. Sigurado isasara na ng Sixers yung series mamaya ang tanong na lang kung kaya nila ituloy yung winning margin nila within double digits. Iiwasan ko sana yung Mavericks pero might as well subukan na rin dahil mas trip ko sila sa home at tingin ko kaya nila manalo within 6 points.

Boston Celtics +1.5
Philadelphia 76ers -7.5
Dallas Mavericks -3.5

[harizen]

Batch 9

Back to square 1 lol. Try makabawi sa next set of games:

1. Brooklyn Nets
2. Philadelphia 76ers
3. Dallas Mavericks

1. Sa totoo lang alangan ako sa Nets at baka isweep sila ng Celtics pero parang tingin ko na hindi nila hahayaan mangyari iyon. Isipin pa lang ng Nets duo Kevin Durant at Kyrie Irving ang mga possible na criticism pag natalo sila, sigurado gagawin nila ang lahat para manalo.

2. Mukhang mahirap isipin na mananalo ng 2 beses na sunod ang Raptors laban sa Sixers. Tatapusin na nila yan for sure. Medyo malaki ang handicap pero I'm sure kayang-kaya icover ng Sixers yan.

3. As usual, regardless of the odds, Dallas Mavericks talaga ako since then.

[bisdak40]

Picks for the day:

Nets - nag-aalangan din ako rito sa Nets pero sana man lang makaisa sila sa series na ito. Hindi ko inakala na magkaka-ganila sila sa first round pa lang.

Sixers - homecourt advantage na nila to kaya malaking pag-asa na tatambakan na nila yong Raptors.

Mavs - ang hirap manalo ng Jazz laban sa Dallas kahit nasa homecourt nila at wala pa si Luka kaya for sure mahihirapan din ang Jazz sa larong ito.

Lahat tayo nasa bearish season ahh, hirap ng hulaan sana makabawi tayo ngayon sa pustahan.

[chaser15]

Ang saklap ng kaganapan. Makakabangon pa kaya ako sa negative 5 points.

My picks for today:

Brooklyn Nets
Philadelphia 76ers
Dallas Mavericks

Tingin ko kahit isang panalo e pipilitin ng Brooklyn Nets. Di ko lang maisip na kahit isang panalo wala silang maeestablish. Do or Die game na sila mamaya at lahat ng puwedeng ilabas nila sa laro e pipiliting palabasin. Uuwi na sila sa kanilang mga bahay pag natalo pa sila. Sa Sixers, tatapusin na nila ang laro sigurado pero sana kainin nila iyong spread. Sa Mavericks naman, with or without Luka, hirap ang Jazz.

[inthelongrun]

Round 9 Ranking

- Grabe Boston di talaga binigyan kahit isa sina Durant. Pinakapalpak raw na super team ang Nets? Sa bagay never naman yung trio naging healthy kahit isang playoffs man lang.
- Isa pa tong Utah Jazz. Ambugbog nga sila kanina. Wag sana maging mediocre team next season. Trade at acquire na lang siguro ng mga players.
- Curious kay Oasisman bakit nag Toronto? Kahit homecourt ng Philly. Siya kasi top natin sa first phase ng tournament. Baka meron malupitang analysis.

[inthelongrun]

Miami Heat - Mukhang ma-close na nila bukas ang itong Atlanta. Pinakita naman nila na kaya nila manalo at covered yung spread kahit wala si Kyle Lowry. Hmm, Miami versus 76ers? O magchoke ulit si Doc Rivers sa kanyang 3-0 start laban sa Toronto?

Memphis Grizzlies - Pass sana ako dito dahil tingin ko kakulangan sa playoffs experience ang dahilan nag 2-2 pa tong series. Halata naman mas malakas fire power at mas talented rosters ng Memphis kaya sila ang may second best record nitong season. Sana nga lang wag masyado reckless.
