Celtics - Bucks series should be a close one and I'm looking forward to it.

Agree, I hope we will see a game 7. Middleton might still be out in the series but it doesn't matter, Bucks have been playing great basketball even without him and there are some who contribute a lot on the win, so yeah, the Bucks should have a great chance of winning.

The good thing with the Bucks now is everyone is contributing, unlike before that they rely on Giannis so much.
According to Woj he will be re-evaluated in two weeks which means he may still not be able to play after that. That will be Game 3 or 4 of the series for his possible return.
The Bucks need every help they could grab on and I think Middleton is one big contribution to spreading the floor. Bobby Portis may be having his way on outside shots but there will be a time he will be defended better when they are up against the Celtics.
Pat Connaughton is also getting his rhythm and I hope he keeps that up. They may look strong up against the Bulls but the Celtics are in a different league, I am sure it will be more entertaining. Yes, possible Game 7.

Let's see, and hopefully, Bucks would be able to still play like their usual even without Middleton. Besides, he is not a big factor in the games that he was still playing, and Bucks have improved when he was out, so hopefully, this would say that the Bucks could win this.

The advantage of the Bucks is when the Celtics cannot stop Giannis.

Warriors are now officially in the 2nd round, they are just waiting for the winner of the Wolves and Grizz, whoever wins in that competition, I believe the Warriors could handle them. They finish the series early, now they have a lot of time to relax and figure out how to win in the 2nd round.

Good luck to the WARRIORS!

There is one full quarter left but it's already over for the Bulls. I don't see them coming back from a 20 points+ deficit. With DeRozan held to a measly 7 points playing for over 30 minutes, there's nobody in their roster that could lead them. Hard to imagine this team was once a no. 1 in the East in the regular season and it's no fluke that they have a poor record against top teams.

The game now started and is more on just exchanging shots at first but now Bucks have a 7 points lead already. The Bulls can't stop Giannis.

Unfortunately, you're right that the Bulls can't stop Giannis, considering he's already scored 23 points in just 17 minutes in the first half of the match. So the final result is already predictable, and the Bulls will most likely be eliminated from the playoffs tonight. However, I guess the Bulls still have a lot of potential, and they will have more success next season if their key players can avoid injuries.

Zach Lavine might also probably be out in tonight's game for the Chicago Bulls.

He is out because of Covid protocols. I wondered how players ended up on that status. Are these players showing symptoms?

However, it's no secret that LaVine is not comfortable playing because of his knee surgery that's why he's not at his best, at least. He is expected to have surgery after their playoffs run regardless of where they will end up.

The game now started and is more on just exchanging shots at first but now Bucks have a 7 points lead already. The Bulls can't stop Giannis.

I presume that the series will end after this game. Bucks had been dominating the Bulls already, they are up more than 20 points and I don't think they'll be able to come back or even cover the spread which was +12, sorry Bulls fans, your fight will be over soon and the players could relax.

Bucks vs Bulls later, I think the Bucks will going to end this series because I don't think that the Bulls will have enough legs, they have lost all the will to win against the Bucks with Giannis.

Zach Lavine might also probably be out in tonight's game for the Chicago Bulls. I also think that the Milwaukee Bucks will now finish the series. Once the Bucks got the lead by 10+, I will give it a 90% chance that the series will now end. Playing at the Bucks' home, it's hard to bounce back from a 10+ point lead while the Bulls are under pressure to win to extend the series.

Chicago Bulls impressed us this season but they have no tools to win these playoffs. Even after defeating the Milwaukee Bucks miraculously, they have to face the Boston Celtics in the Semi-Finals.

It was crazy game between the Memphis Grizzlies vs the Minnesota Twolves. Ja Morant really turn things around for the Grizzlies, hit a 3 and then those crucial free throws. But the Wolves are not done as they hit a corner 3 to tie the game. But then again, Ja Morant finishes the game with a drive, a left hand lay-up.

Miami Heat have ended the series by 4-1. They won the last game of the series by 97-94 last night and finished the job. They are really unstoppable now but we will see what they will do in next stages. The winner of the Philadelphia 76ers - Toronto Raptors series is going to have a matchup against Heat. 76ers are 3-2 ahead in the series now and I think that they will be advancing to next round. By the way, the Grizzlies - Timberwolves series is going on great also. Grizzlies have got 3-2 ahead by winning last night, 111-109.
Heat played more than I even anticipated, assumed it would have been an easy sweep to be fair. Hawks played during the play-in and looked like they weren't that great neither, and they ended barely in the playoff spots. Heat on the other hand finished first in the eastern conference, better than Celtics which swept Nets which was a better team for sure.

In any case, they will have a few days rest before they will have to play the next opponent, the longer they wait the better rest they will have and easier time beating their next opponent which they will probably do. West looks a bit more chaotic compared to east, like how Suns are 3-2 right now and warriors may end it soon.
It's because the Suns have lost Booker, that's why the series is 3-2 and have given the Pelicans 2 win. But the Suns was able to get one in their last game and hopefully they will end the series next game.

But I agree that the biggest story for this playoff is the Nets, who at the beginning of the season is the favorite by the Boston Celtics have swept them.

ja morant yesterday had a consecration closing game, also if the memphis lost this game I think they were going to be out since the minnesotta were going to come very high in morale for the next game.
Miami easily passed the atlantas, I'm really a little disappointed with the performance of the atlantas.

I guess Trae Young was really shutdown by the Heat in this series. We all know that Heat is a good defensive team and they have proven it against Young as they didn't allow him to take over this series.

Bucks vs Bulls later, I think the Bucks will going to end this series because I don't think that the Bulls will have enough legs, they have lost all the will to win against the Bucks with Giannis.

People forget that Miami Heat is the top seed in the East, so no surprised that they defeated the Hawks, it should have been a sweep, but nevertheless it's 4-1.

Yeah, what concerns is the 76ers vs Raptors, it seems that the ghost of the past is going to haunt the 76ers again (the Kawhi shot), and of course coach Doc Rivers has also the history of choking in the playoffs with the Clippers. So Raptors are trying to make history here, from 0-3 down and winning the series.

Sixers will be the much better matchup for the Heat, deeper bench and those core stars will be a good series to watch.

Though we don't know if Sixers will blow this again, Rivers is a very well-known coach for letting these things to happen, coming from a

3-1 lead is not new to his coaching career. Let see if how things will be done between Raptors and Sixers is a familiar match up that

really have a deep history of competitions.

The Suns showed they could win a game without Devon Booker as they take a 3-2 series lead. Bridges picked up the slack for them putting up 31 points, which is somewhat unexpected from him in a playoff game.

The Suns have the potential to finish the Pelicans in their next game because the game last night was just a one-sided match-up where they didn't even get a chance to catch up in the second half. If they can remain their way as they used to play in the Regular Season, the Pelicans have already been knocked out in 4 but as we all know, Playoffs are different because there is more pressure than usual and every decision made is crucial and important.
We all agree that they can beat the Pelicans yes even without Devin Booker.
The question is their succeeding games. Can they still defeat the winner of DAL/UTA series which I think Dallas will win.

Can they still defeat the Dallas Mavericks even without Booker. Base on this article, he is expected to miss 2-3 weeks or in this case 1-2 weeks more. With the absence of Booker, they need another player from them to step up offensively and in Game 5, its Bridges who stepped up. I believe though that the Suns are loaded with talented scorers who can step up anytime if needed.

They have it and with Paul to administer the plays, the chance to win or to move forward is likely possible for the Suns.

Jazz/Mavs, though, are heavier than NP. Both teams do have a system that can match with the Suns,
we will know who will be their next opponent after they complete this series from NP and who
will be the winner between Jazz and the Mavs, still eyeing for Suns to continue their way..

Mavs has a weakness actually, and the Suns have it. The center position. If ever the Suns meets the Mavs I am sure Coach Monty will take advantage of that using Ayton at a maximum level. He can score against Valanciunas, what more with a smaller Powell.

I am sure Booker is working out to make it back as fast as he can so if its 3 weeks, it could be earlier than that. I like how they changed their strategy from a Booker/CP3 centered team to using Mikal Bridges to cut below the rim. Then, there's Johnson who also changed from just waiting outside for a three to being a rebounder. 9 rebounds for him, who averages 4.1 this season.
