On the contrary, it was the Nets who choke on the OT as they only scored 2 points.

It's evident that a one man team of Durant can't do it alone. And then we have Bucks acquisition of Holiday and PJ Tucker who has help a lot in offense and defense to get them the win. Giannis with a consistent game in this series, it's just he was overshadowed by Durant. Nevertheless they got the win and that's what matters now as they will go on the ECF.

But still, that was a great game for both teams. IMO, it's not choke but it's exhaustion that got them missing all the shots. 52 minutes playtime is not a joke and this is what became the problem of the Nets. Only 7 of the Nets roster played the game, I think Coach Nash may have been too much to them.
It's not how winning teams do it. Phil Jackson never did it to Jordan or Kobe, they need to learn trusting their team mates while they charge more energy to be explosive when they go back in.
Applaud to Tucker for bringing his mental defensive awareness that gave KD a difficult time the whole game before he was fouled out.

No doubt about it, one hell of a game 7. We can even see Tucker and Durant talking to each other during the game, I don't think it's not trash talking, but perhaps on how they play against each other with respect.

I agree that Coach Nash may have push Durant to its limit in this series, having played the whole 48 minutes in game 5 and then 53 minutes. As I have said, he did it by himself, but it's not enough, only 5 players have scored for the Nets in this game. Maybe next season, Coach Nash will learn from his 'mistakes' and understand how to phase Durant or any of the big 3.

Durant another monster game, he almost won the game with that 3 2.

Now we are going into OT, I'm feeling that the Nets will blow this up. Bucks looks very tired so let's see if they are going to choke. Holiday and Middleton and Giannis will have to double their effort here.

If not for the miss free throws though, Bucks could have won the game already.

The Nets could not score without Durant's involvement in the offensive end. So they're most likely going to choke anyway as Durant was clearly exhausted. Harden didn't stepped up when the team needed him the most. Holiday had a rough first half, but was able to make crucial shots down the stretch in the 4th quarter.
Giannis on the other end is just so lucky he have a defensive minded teammates.
Though Holiday and Middleton shoots very poor fg percentage buy they were able to make the crucial shots.

It was a legendary Game 7. Durant played full 53 minutes and made the buzzer that turn the game overtime but at the end of overtime Nets wasted 2 positions to win the game. We saw that fatigue hit Durant after all those minutes at court and it was a weak play, he could've found a better shot for sure. After all this series is now finished and Bucks well deserved to advance to conference finals. Both teams deserved it honestly, just one spot from the series. Antetokounmpo scored 40 points, Brook Lopez made an important block in overtime. It was a great game, great series.

You own the pen

The Milwaukee Bucks won the series and it's fun to watch the NBA playoff series this year. if you are a Brooklyn fan, then you might probably be scratching your head after you see how they've choked in the last minutes of the 4th quarter. nevertheless, that's how the game should be between these two teams and congratulations to the Bucks for winning this one.

There is not much time left for the last game of the Nets - Bucks series. It is very exciting already. Cheesy

Irving hasn't still bounced back from his injury. And Harden still didn't seem like he had his 100 percent in the last game. I hope that he can help KD really much for a win. I'm supporting Nets in this.

If Durant have to play whole 48 minutes again I don't know how it affects his shooting percentage, maybe he will be more tired than usual. Still it's Game 7 so you have to put your everything to reach Conference Finals.
There is interesting stats for Game 7. In history home teams win %78 of 7-game series, but against Milwaukee Bucks %100 of them won. Which means Bucks never win a 7 game series at road. It's historical statistics and definitely won't affect tonight's game but you gotta take this home team advantage seriously. I hope we will watch a very good match. That's what NBA is all about.

Durant vs Giannis, I think Durant wins every time. Strangely, it’s looking like Giannis has more help than Durant now with Irving out and Harden playing poorly off his injury. If Middleton has another huge game I could see the Bucks advancing, but I still feel like Durant is going to bring home the W. Starting in an hour on TNT for those who will be watching along.

durant better bring out the best in this game, or else there will be a lot of criticism that is going to be at him again, this is also a good situation for him to prove to everyone who doesn't like him that he can carry a team to the finals, or it will be another disappointment for the fans, so if they win this series with only Durant this will be a statement.

I must say congrats to Clippers because a few of nba fans believed that Clippers will reach the final this year , especially after the start they had.

Clippers are always in the top 3 of the favorites to win the NBA title so I don't believe only a few people believed that the Clippers will reach the Finals.

But before that, we are just on Western Conference Finals, not on the NBA finals, so they should pass the Phoenix Suns first.

Durant vs Giannis, I think Durant wins every time.

But they have a different role and expertise so I can't consider Bucks vs Nets as Giannis vs Durant.

Giannis is by far good at playing defense while on the other hand, Durant is more of an offensive type. In their last game, Durant still pulls 30+ points even there's an adjustment to the Bucks defense as Giannis now focuses his defense on Durant because of the criticism he got during their Game 5 loss.

Durant is really unstoppable even guarded heavily that's why his teammates should do some necessary adjustment if they really want to win the series and not just relying on Durant the whole game.

And LA Clippers have advanced to the semi final! In the absence of Kawhi, Clippers still destroyed Jazz and finished the job, 4-2. In the last game, Mann - P. George - R. Jackson trio had a superb performance. D. Mitchell tried his best but couldn't prevent the loss. Congrats to Clippers!

Clippers deserves what's coming for them. They completely turned around the series with Jazz after game 3. Utah Jazz had a very good opportunity yesterday to move that game to a game 7 where they can better position themselves to win the series. Instead, they lost their huge 20+ lead after the first half. Like clippers, they deserved what they got. Now that Clippers have eliminated one of the best teams still remaining in the playoffs, I reckon they are a team to watch out for in the western conference finals against the Suns.

Quote from: freedomgo on June 19, 2021, 04:04:01 PM

My prediction is, the underdog will win in game 6 as they did with the Jazz.

I could be wrong, but for now, I'll stick to my bold prediction.

Clippers has a great team but they should be mindful of Suns too. Phoenix Suns has been outstanding since the regular season and since the playoffs started. I still recall their 4-0 series with against Nuggets.

Hilarious that the "Suns in 4" guy who beat up that Denver fan got free tickets and a signed jersey from Devin Booker's team. I watched an interview between him and Dave Portnoy where he explains everything that happened. I guess the Denver kid was flashing money at him and dumped beer on him which led to the vicious beating that ensued. If you aren't aware of what I'm talking about, Google "Suns in 4 fight" and you'll get all you need to know, including video of the incident.

Good for them, Suns is really a tough competitor, the fact that they beat the Lakers, they should be a great team already. Now, we'll go to the WCF, the Suns for sure are still the favorite to win the series, but let's see if they can sweep the Clippers.

Will CP3 play in game 1? I think the rumor still says that he is not available, with that, I think the Clippers would be able to get a good match up because they also don't have Kawhi in this game.

We see Conley in the game, but he only has limited contribution and had few points only.

Conley played 25 minutes, able to score only 5 points from 1-8 shooting, the 2 points earned in FT.

We can see that he is not fully healthy yet, they just play him because they really need to win this game, but unfortunately, they allow the Clippers to come back.

Conley had some restrictions in movement on a pregame workout a few days ago, and he practiced only dribbling and shooting. So it isn't a wonder that he wasn't completely ready and as a result, he had a bad performance in this decisive match.

He shouldn't have played, it's a similar situation with Harden on his first day back after an injury, but the result was different. Well, that's game, you win, you lose, it's just that Jazz are now in the situation where they loss the game, and Clippers also deserved to win as they never give up easily, they fight until the end and they rewarded with a victory.

If you watched the game, he wasn't really a liability as the Jazz led as high as 25 points in that game IIRC, and that means they are effective in the start but unfortunately, they don't have the composure when the Clippers already adjusted their game in the 2nd half. It's actually the biggest comeback on playoff history and Clippers first WCF after many seasons.

Can we all agree that Jazz is nothing more than a regular season team ? They had the opportunity to prove us wrong after a great regular season and yet when they came in Play-offs they chocked against Clippers who were already tired after 7 series with Mavs and yet you start 2-0 against them and still losing 2-4.

I must say congrats to Clippers because a few of nba fans believed that Clippers will reach the final this year , especially after the start they had.

They are a great regular season team but they are not a "bad" playoff team neither. This is the team that fought against Clippers, and yes they lost without Kawhi so that is really terrible for them but they did alright for themselves if you ask me. I say it is not going to be an easy conference finals neither, I mean suns vs clippers? I did not see that coming at all.

First of all I didn't see Suns beating Lakers let alone anyone else, secondly I didn't see Clippers winning without Kawhi at all, I thought the series was over and Jazz would win the moment Kawhi was out. It is going to be weird to see CP3less Suns versus Kawhiless Clippers. Another deal is we have 2 game sevens at the east, let's see whats going to happen with that, I really like this season it is all unexpected and that is why it is more entertaining as well, finally we are seeing a great season of parity.
