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.

The last game prior to the win of the Suns was also a one-sided game but the Suns bounce back, so you cannot tell that the Suns will finish the Pelicans as they will be heading back to the home of the Pelicans. Hopefully, Ingram is okay after a hard fall.

Let's setting this discussion via betting, both teams have their own believers but we cannot deny that the Suns were the favorite to win the series and they are proving that they are a great team as even without Booker, they are still leading the series. They are just one win away to winning the series, so the Pelicans has to figure out how to limit CP3 as that's their only chance of beating the Suns.

I have given a thought about that one too, both Kyrie and Simmons have big egos and them clashing in the middle of important games would be so unfortunate but the only difference between them is that Kyrie can still prove that he is worth it while Simmons can't, this man have a psychological problem aside from his ego. While Durant on the other hand, he is always consistent in his forcing himself to carry the even if it's so hard to do.

Kicking KD? wow whoever wins the deal will surely improve their chance in the next season, Blaming game is not appropriate

for pros they should just leave it up and forget things and move forward. Stars like KD will always have a good room to any team who

wanted to solidify their squad. With that concern regarding to Kyrie and Simmons nothing to say it's an open book around the web and

without any adjustments coming from these two players they will be judge according to how they act.

Next season they will have Simmons on the line up, if they would not improve then that's the time that they Nets will have to rebuild. Durant were not the same last playoffs, he was great last playoffs and I think the coaching was the same, I'm not sure, maybe he is not 100% in that series.

I am not entirely sure if Nets would blow things up this early. This was the first year where they could have played all three together and Kyrie caused a rift between the players, Harden hated the fact that he was given the right to not play and that is why he left.

This will be a full season where they will play together in 22-23 season and they could become better. Obviously build a better team around those two but at the same time we shouldn't consider kicking Kyrie or Durant out and rebuilding already, that would be too rush of a decision. So I believe that we could end up with a proper team with one full proper season and can see them actually do something.

Why kick Durant? he's consistent so far and been lifting up Nets this season also he's not really the main problem of this team since he provides quality numbers so this is a huge loss for Nets if they let this guy out of their line up. Maybe they should think about Kyrie should be out of their line up since he go on different controversy and that totally affect their line up and his gameplay. His ego is also problem on their team so I guess they should trade him since they also have another problem in the presence of Simmons. Then guess what will happen if Kyrie and Simmons ego will clash in the middle of the game for sure their chemistry will destroyed and they cannot play well together.

There was also an article released saying Ben Simmons had a mental block keeping him from playing this year…

Pelicans seems manageable to beat for Suns without Booker but what about Mavericks on the next round or GSW/Grizzlies? They will be massacred by this teams with a strong offense and outside the perimeter shooting. I Booker will return in the middle of there playoffs run so that there effort on regular season for having a good record will not be wasted when they early eliminate in playoffs.

Ben Simmons needs to cool off and back to basic. Many famous pro players failed to get there game back again after losing confidence like what happened to Isiah Thomas.

Ja Morant had a dunk in the Grizzlies win tonight that was one of the best of the year. I think it’s a little funny they don’t call a charge on him when he jumps nearly over people. I guess if the highlight is good enough it’s all good.

You have to appreciate the Heat's distributed scoring throughout the game and also their defense especially in the last possession. Too bad for Hunter as he kept the Hawks close but the rest of the team couldn't keep the series alive. Trae Young with more turnovers (6) than made field goals (2) is something else Grin That's probably the worst record for a PG.
His best record in turnovers.  Cheesy It's not far from his performance on Game 1 and without him, at his best condition, the Hawks will absolutely lose that game. They are lucky Kyle Lowry is out for 2 games and got even luckier when Jimmy Buckets felt a knee inflammation so he also missed the game.
But they cannot take advantage of it while Victor Oladipo led the team with 23 points. He is back and his mental strength might be better now.
Miami Heat just got stronger and will have their full long rest waiting for which team will advance. 76ers or Raptors.

Heat finished the series in fifth game. I guess Ice Cold Trae got melted in Miami Heat. He was just awful in this series except one game. 2/12 FGM, 0/5 3PM tonight. De'Andre Hunter tried everything to hold on to series but it wasn't enough. Heat was great even without Lowry and Butler. Oladipo returned great. Him and Adebayo carried Heat, Strus also hit important shots in critical minutes. Heat is looking strong but all other top Eastern teams are similar as well. It will be though match-up in conference semis.

~ Thinking of placing a live bet at Under 199.5 but sometimes, both teams will unleash their intensity of plays in the later quarter.
Congrats if you placed a bet.

Grizz managed to catch up to the Wolves in the fourth. This is another close game.

edit: Grizz won.

Coaches actually have a huge impact on team losses and wins. If Steve Nash just put all necessary pieces on the court, it could've been resulted into a different outcome rather getting swept. Boston is one of the most talented team in the NBA today. But I know for sure that the Nets could've done better than that. Man, they have Dragic, Irving, Durant, and they have good supporting players. Boston just executed better than Nets both defensively and offensively.
I'm not gonna be surprised If Nash will separate ways with Brooklyn after this off season.

It's worth noting that Nash is still an inexperienced coach as he only started coaching 2 seasons ago. However, such poor Nets performance is not only the fault of the coach but also the fault of the players and management. So I think the Nets management will give Nash another chance and keep him for at least another season, especially since his contract with the Nets runs until the end of season 23/24.

If I'm not mistaken Kevin Durant has a player option for 2022-23. I think the same goes for Kyrie Irving.

He might leave or not stay on the Brooklyn Nets and that's what we need to follow.

Brooklyn Nets failed to reach what they are expecting on these 2 after giving up their young players and future draft picks. Not even close to a competition, unlike last year when they reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

Low scoring game for the Miami Heat vs Atlanta Hawks Game 5.

They just finished the 1Q with only 22-21 score Hawks. All key players of both teams are still silent up to this point. Thinking of placing a live bet at Under 199.5 but sometimes, both teams will unleash their intensity of plays in the later quarter.

I will observe first before placing a bet.

I don't think I would call it rebuilding anyway.  They are still building the team they want.  Aldridge is probably done and Blake might be thinking about going elsewhere.  I'm sure they'll be able to grab some interesting free agents.  It took the Miami Heatles 2 years to get a Finals win and they had more talent than the Nets do.  I think the main guys will be motivated to come back for one more year.  At that point Kyrie will probably have to look for another team as I'm sure the Nets are fed up with him already and his contract is up after next season.  Then they'll be looking to build a team around Simmons.  Next year is their shot at a title, and maybe even Durant's last good shot as his career begins the downhill slide.

It has been a really easy matchup for Miami Heat so far against Atlanta Hawks. They didn't have much problem in the games they won. And they are in the lead in this series by 3-1. Tonight, they can end this in their home court by making the series 4-1. And I strongly believe that this will happen.
Have you made that conclusion after the news that Buttler will be out in game 5 due to right knee inflammation? Perhaps you didn't even know that. Jimmy has been instrumental for the Heat this series so this injury increase the Hawk's chances to force game 6.

Lowry is also out but good thing coach Spoelstra still has players he could rely on. It's time for the likes of Herro to take over.

Tonight, they can end this in their home court by making the series 4-1. And I strongly believe that this will happen. Hawks didn't have a bad regular season maybe but there was a huge gap between them and Heat too. And Heat are showing it to us now. They completely deserve to continue in the playoffs.

By the way, I'm really sad to see that Nets are out by 4-0. It was too much for them and I would have liked to see some resistance from them at least.

2nd round possible match-up.

Celtics vs Bulks, which team do you think will be the favorite?
Bookies will probably have different odds per game depending on the latest developments in this series. I'm leaning towards Celtics advancing to the next round regardless of the lines. It will be a tall order for sure but I think they are a more complete team this season. Not to mention Tatum's emergence.
