CP3 is playing like this is his final chance for a NBA championship. As long as he remains healthy, the Suns are going to be a contender. He is the heart and soul of this team, without him, I'm sure they are going to loss. Tough luck for Jokic, ejected for the flagrant foul, refs should have allow him to play since this is crucial for the Nuggets.

Will the Suns have a chance of beating the Clippers or Jazz?
Let's see, if they got one advantage, it is that they are fully rested and have been studying Clippers or Suns offense. For sure the coaching staff are scouting it and be ready for whatever any team are going to offer.

Yes, i agree with you!
I think after Jokic's expulsion, it "buried" the Nuggets' chances to win!
I think flagrant 2 was a very high penalty and I didn't see the reason. It was a foul and we can't deny it
We realized... the Nuggets missed Murray a lot

I support Suns and hope the team wins your first title. I have no doubt, CP3 will play like it was his last game in NBA, because for the career he had, CP3 deserves to retire with at least one ring

I feel like everything is breaking the Phoenix Suns’ way. Suddenly the Nets don’t look like a lock to get out of their round and the Suns have dominated their way through the postseason. I’m starting to believe they have a chance to go all the way. It’s a little exciting for people who have wanted to see CP3 get a ring. How cool would it be if he faced off with Griffin in the Finals…

Nets could win very easily, they are a very good team, and they are really playing a good ball as well, but Harden not being there is always a risk, if one superstar (durant or irving) plays like shit then you will not get a good result, that is really not that easy, I am not going to actually assume that we will end up with something like that right away but there is a chance we could end up with a close game so I think you should be careful when betting that.

Look at Utah game, they were 2-0 up and they looked like the better team very easily however Clippers still managed to get back, it is not that simple. I really think that we should not be expecting Nets to lose, but we should be ready for something like that, for example a good move could be something like betting a small amount so that even if you lose you will not be upset about it.

I can't believe it... I'm surprised, I would never have imagined the Suns would beat Nuggets in 4-0.... and a few days ago, the Suns eliminate the Lakers who were one of the favorites teams to win this championship
CP3 and Booker scored over 70 points together. Shocked

Refs owned the broom so they decided to sweep it.  Grin Eject Jokic with flagrant 2? Wow! It's like killing the Nuggets team. I stopped watching after that. Kind of like a scripted scenery.
It's already playoffs and they are still soft when making the calls. It just proves how much change had happened with NBA.

Suns won. Happy for CP3 for having a chance with Conference Finals again. Let's just hope that kind of intensity will stay especially with his mid range shots.
Booker also, we don't want to see him rattled or else he will lose his composure.
Both Clippers and Jazz are strong on both offensive and defensive performance, it will be a tough WCF.

If they reach the conference finals, the Suns can make history, because Phoenix has only played 2 conference finals (correct me if I'm wrong)

Nuggets started pretty bad, in first quarter their field goal percentage was awful except Monte Morris. Still points difference is not much, so they are in the game.
Suns would like to finish this series tonight, defense looks good. Nuggets need to do some extra work, otherwise it will be over for them.
8 points difference at half, things are going good for Suns.

That's how Nuggets has been in this series, they give up early lead for the Suns. And Phoenix is good at protecting their lead. So if you look at the series, Nuggets doing the catch up and always fell short. It was a disappointing sweep. Star MVP was ejected, Chris Paul can't missed his shot, then they play good defense down the stretch to close out the Nuggets. The curse of winning the regular MVP and then not bringing your team to the finals, thats definitely hurt Jokic here.

Denver Nugget season's this year is finally over and the Phonex Suns swept the series too bad because it could have been a better series if they have someone to counter Chris Paul.

Thank goodness Bucks won again. Now the series is tied which makes it more entertaining. Kevin Durant will now have to carry the team in his shoulders.

He was able to get up and walk to the locker room under his own power, but would miss the remainder of the game. The good news is that head coach Steve Nash said Irving's initial X-rays came back negative.
Good news about the negative X-rays results but the mentality will be the issue if he force himself to play the next game.
Nets have a good bench team, I say maximize that strength and they may managed to win Game 5. Just when they got Jeff Green back from an injury and played 27 minutes already. Now, another player is listed in injured list.
Finally the bucks are clicking in all cylinders, tucker, and Middleton really need to be this aggressive as we know tucker is a lockdown defender, he also learns from D'antoni, Giannis is really unstoppable with that euro step but to be more successful those players should play well to free up Giannis, kyrie injury is a bit scary thank god its not that bad, for sure he will play, the question is can harden play in game 5 because if not, they are in trouble.

Bucks made a good comeback and serie is tied now, 2-2. Nets still have home advantage though they blew a good advantage after 2-0. They should've gotten at least one game away, now this series is harder. Especially if they lose fifth game at home things might be very ugly for them. If Harden played tonight could it be different? Probably but we never know. Shoutout to Giannis Antetokounmpo though, he scored 34 points and most importantly when he is in court Bucks scored 29 points more. This is important stat because when you look at Nets superstar Durant you see -23 points. That was the main factor in tonight's game.
Look, I believe if Harden had played, Nets could have won. Harden is a very offensive player but he doesn't play very well on defense (that's his "Achilles heel").
I think if Harden or Irving had played, it could be a different story, and Irving or Harden could help Durant
Antetokounmpo is playing well in these playoffs, you can see that he has matured in decisive games for some time now.

My attention is now on Suns vs Nuggets game, which looks to be quite interesting.

Thank you for this informations!!

As I was away from the games, several things happened and I didn't know that Irving was also injured.

That's the price of having multiple All Star players on a single team. It's interesting that you have bank players so they can rotate with others.

Hmmm, I don't know, but if Harden and Irving stay out, the Bucks could beat the Nets...I don't know, it's just my gamble.

An example of what happened in the playoffs was the Suns vs Lakers. LA was one of the favorites, AD got injured and some players didn't help as they could and Lakers loose the series.

The game that I am surprised and enjoying to watching is Nets vs Bucks that is happening now... Antetokounmpo before the end of the 3rd period already scored 28 points, is there a chance for Bucks to beat the Nets again??

What do you think?  Huh

With 5 minutes left in the ball game and the Bucks are up by 15 points, this is money in the bag for the Bucks now.

The unfortunate thing that happened with the Nets today is the injury of Irving, I don't know if he can play in game5 with that ankle.

This series turned from boring to an exciting one, hope the Clippers vs Jazz will be also the same with this one.

What happened with Clippers vs Jazz?
The duo Leonard + PG scored 65 points together. This duo really made a lot of difference, even though Donovan Mitchell scored 30 points, they weren't enough to defeat the Clippers!
If PG will be consistent in the playoffs, then the Clippers could even the series and win in the end.
We saw how the Clippers are so confident once they see their best players playing very well.

No concern for Leonard but its PG's consistency.

Irving was injured, the Bucks could even the series as they are already in the lead by double digits.

I'm not surprised about what's happening in this Nets vs Bucks game. I mean, Bucks got a lifeline when they won game 3 of the series. Winning today's game will put them on level teams with Nets and even mean that they're in a better position to win the series now more than ever. Also, the services of Kyrie and Harden are missed. KD is just doing all the hard work at the moment but it's not enough to cover those Bucks points. It's just 1 quarter left so I think it's safe to say Bucks would win game 4. But let's see how it goes. Anything can still happen.

Bad news for the Nets, Irving excited and might have tweaked his ankle a bit, let's see the update after the first half, but will the Nets win without him?
We might see a 2-2 series now and the game now is very physical and refs not calling soft foul.  Grin

Yeah, it is really bad news for them. If he doesn't get well quickly, Nets can have real problems on even eliminating Bucks in this series. And it looks like Bucks will win the fourth game also. There is a more than 10-point gap right now. But maybe Nets can manage to turn the game around.

Irving was already announced out for the rest of game 4, The nets are struggling with their offense and it looks like it will be a 2-2 series now. Durant needs help, he can't win alone and Harris has to make 3s like he usually do, it's important for them to come back.
