On Nets-Celtics series, the Nets are 1 win away from going into the second round as they defeated the Celtics 141-126. The Big 3 has 104 of the whole team's 141 points. That is what you called a Big 3. Tatum got 40 but there are no other players near him. Also 18 assists from Harden :X.

That's really an impressive work from those 3 with just 3 people they already have 104 points combined the Brooklyn Nets really do have a good offensive players with Durant, Harden and Irving I really think they can beat anyone. I think this could be the best offensive trio in the NBA right now.  In regards with Tatum that's really an impressive offense a 40 point alone with versus this big three is not that easy to achieve.

Tatum was the only one who is consistent in the team, in game 3 when they won, Tatum scored 50 points. Kemba Walker actually did not play in game 4, so they really are undermanned, if Kemba was there at least he can provide some good offense for the team.

Kemba though is missing in action in this series, and even before the playoffs Kemba plays is going down. I just observed it and I don't know what's the real reason of him being inconsistent lately.

If any case, this is a very bad season for Boston, there's a lot of expectations from them, but it seems they will be eliminated 4-1 in the next games.

Kyle Kuzma will replace Anthony Davis as part of the starting lineup.

Again and again, he should do some level-up on his plays. He's been in the league for several seasons so he needs to change the current issue about being inconsistent with him since then.

They aren't on the season anymore so he should take note of that. AD is a big loss so everyone should step up. LBJ is not on the same level as before.

I was not expecting this victory from Suns, it surprised me.
AD got injured and had to leave during the game, I don't know why Drummond played for a short time, Harrell was in the bench and only played 5 minutes.

The Suns were "fit" and the team played very well.
I'm very excited to see what the next games in this series will be like.
Looks like the injury thing is a big problem with this match-up. When CP3 sits because of injury, they lose. When AD or LBJ sits because of injury, they lose.
When AD is on the floor (in their last 2 wins), he scored 34 pts each but in their 2 losses he scored only 13 and 6 points respectively.

The series is tied and the Lakers have 2 options if AD will not play on Game 5. If they want to win its either LBJ step up on his performance or other players must step up to fill the gap that AD left. Take note that the Suns have this Big 3 of themselves (Booker, Ayton and CP3). A Point God, A scorer and a legit rebounder. It will be hard for the Lakers to defeat this young Suns team if they lose either one of their superstars.

Lakers and the Sun and Dallas and Clippers both 2-2 now, really hard to predict this series because of swing momentum and then we have injuries on key players. Congrats on your +6.5 hit mate, there are still a lot of games ahead of us.
Looks like the injury of Doncic really had him and they struggled all throughout the game losing Game 4 by a huge margin. Now the doubters of the Clippers will be silent at least this time because the series is tied already.

Thanks bro.
Speaking of Mavs versus Clippers, Doncic is also hurt with a neck or back spasms. The smiling Doncic is gone because of what he is feeling during the game.
He might have scored a lot but that is not the usual Doncic that we always see.
Also, it seems like his freethrow percentage is deteriorating. 0/5 in freethrow? That's something we rarely see if a player can shoot the ball with high percentage at outside shots. Then, he can't do his aggressive attacks below the rim because of the neck problem.
It's going to be bad for the Mavs if suddenly he won't play in Game 5.

Question is, can they keep it until the end of the game? let's find out.
They did and this is now where the crucial part starts. Game 5 is coming and I think the games will be more intense and those are the games that we should watch out.

Game 5 is crucial for both team and no matter what the outcome is, whoever wins that match would probably goes to the next round. Looks like Devin Booker has a great game today he leads the Suns to win this time. they managed to tie it up and have a chance to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers if they show the same chemistry in the next game. Chris Paul this time didn't shoot often like he used to, I guess he finally finds his role to effectively contribute to their team to win this game.
The momentum is on game 5 and whoever takes the win is likely getting the advantage and confidence for the next game. But I think that this game will still up to game 7. Although I want to see this series end quickly so that we're going to have the lesser teams to the next round.
Well, this is always hard to say but we'll see it then on game 5 who shall win and takes the advantage. Hopefully, AD goes well too.

I think the biggest problem here is butler, he is not playing at a high level, I guess his average in the first round is not even 20 ppg.
look at the stats, it's very low compared to the previous playoffs.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/butleji01/gamelog-playoffs/
Correct. He's back from being the inconsistent player.  Cry Sad to see them lose the playoffs from being the Eastern Conference Champions last year.
I can still remember how great Butler that time playing against Lebron James. It can be the greatest time of his career where the spotlight is all him and Lebron just going back and forth to score and defend at high level even with exhaustion.
Let's just hope next year it will be different.

Suns win again. Yey! Hit my +6.5. CP3 looking good again with his mid range shots hitting the net. Sprained shoulder is gone and it gives energy to the Suns team.


On the other hand, it's Lakers problem with AD got injured. So CP3 has recovered, good job by their trainers and we can see that he can hit that medium jump shots again.

I think other players who show up last years are missing this season Tyler hero, is not shooting that well, and butler might feeling the fatigue of doing everything to be in the finals, in the lakers suns series, I think the lakers still can win the series, LeBron's condition is getting better, even though they don't win today for sure they will bounce back in the important game five.

CP3 didn't took many shots but he leads the team in scoring and with his good knowledge playing the ball he managed to control everything and make the group up winning this game.

In Lakers side, I don't know what happened to AD and Drummond playing only for 19 minutes and having 6 and 5 points, those numbers are very important.

Without them Helping LeBron, the Suns chances is very possible.

Suns won it and they are going back home at Phoenix with a chance to take the lead again.
The 2nd quarter was the big story. Lakers just let the Suns make a big run cutting their lead and even letting them be on top.
They just maintained it while AD was out.
But should it be all the reason for Lakers losing this game? Just because AD is out?
They have a lot of good players on their bench and this is not like the old Lakers relying on 2 superstars.

Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson was impressive last post season. But If they still played like they used to last playoffs, I don't think they'll still win this series.
Herro and Robinson is still young and isn't ready for the real stage. With just the minimum arena capacity for the fans they're already shaken, how much more in a maximum capacity where the crowds roar would literally bother your style of game.
Look at how awful Herro's stats fall this season.

Maybe. His lack of experience is the only obstacle for his stardom. But I doubt the Heat will let him go. Young and energetic guys like him has a future for the NBA.
With just the right training and more playoffs experience I bet he will be a champion someday.
I mean, look at Clarkson. He's a good example of pure effort and hardworking brother and now he is the sixth man of the year.
Being traded to a good team like the Jazz is a bonus but everything he had done until now is all him.

Nuggets also on the brink of losing this series. They can't find their offensive power with Porter Jr not helping at all. Jokic cannot run the play all the time.
If its being repeated over and over it becomes a weakness.
At this point I agree with you, Herro has a bright future ahead, he is young and consequently he will improve, because of his youth he needs to gain experience in order to stand out, but for him to acquire it.... only with time.

One question, about of AD injury, was serious? Any updates?
I made a quick search and he will be able to return to game 5 of series

Looks like the Suns are going to even the series, they had a good run in the 3rd quarter and up 12 points now. They are different now compared to game 3 as they are playing with hustle and battle against the Lakers, playing with a sense of urgency so I commend them on that.

The Lakers played like trash. I don’t know why all the sudden DeAndre Ayton is acting like Dennis Rodman or why the Lakers front court which is supposedly the biggest in the NBA is having such problems with him. LeBron James was the only player who is doing anything with the ball today and Anthony Davis and Andre Drummond played absolutely terribly. I cannot believe what I’m seeing with DeAndre Ayton getting so many rebounds in these playoff games.

Congratulations to the Hawks for yet another dominant performance.

The series is now 3-1 in favor of them, Hawks might finish this series on the road because Knicks seemed to have to answer to them thus far.
Trae Young continues to impress us with his good management on the floor, this guy seems like not a first-timer in the playoffs.

score 96-113.

Bucks had their sweetest revenged, they sweep the Heat by winning game 4 with a score of 120-103.
Game 1 was only the closest Heat had, this is a terrible playoff for them, I don't know if we will still see this team intact next season.

Anyway, congratulations to the Bucks for sweeping the Heat, well done.
Like Jalen Rose said, "Walis Walis" and that means sweep sweep in English.

When we saw that the Heat are down 0-3, I know that they don't have the spirit anymore to fight because in history of NBA no one won in a 7 game series by having a 0-3 deficit. When the Bucks got the 3-0 we knew it already that it is game over for them.

Well deserved 1st round win for the Bucks. They created a big three in Giannis, Middleton and Holiday plus add the supporting casts. They might be the ones to watch for in the Eastern Conference Smiley. Congratulations to the Bucks.
Bucks sweeping Heat wasn't something I really expected I have to say that. Sure I was expecting them to beat Heat that wasn't a shock, I was full on expecting them to go to next stage, but 4-0 wasn't really what I was expecting, especially considering how the first game was down the line type of game, rest of them became just boring blowouts, kudos to Bucks and kudos to coach Bud for adjusting their strategy after the last two years of failure.

East is looking very fine, with nets, sixers, bucks all looking awesome, I feel like it is going to be great one conference final game because two of them will have to match up, then it is going to be an insanely good conference finals. West doesn't give me the same good vibe this year, it is a bit boring, maybe because none of them looked good to me this season, they all looked "decent" but none looked championship contender levels.
