The Heat was eliminated sooner than what I expected hehe. Nets vs. Bucks is the series that I want to see and I hope they finish the Celtics in five games. No offense to the Sixers fans but whoever wins the BKN-MIL series will be crowned East conference champs.

That will be a huge match up if Nets vs Bucks will go against each other.

What's happening on the other side of L.A? I'm not underestimating the Mavs but it would be a huge disappointment if Clippers go out this early. Be consistent Paul!

The Clippers are still alive after winning game 3, Kawhi and Paul George takes it personally when Luka was clowning them in the first 2 games. They are still the favourite base on the betting line. There are reports though that Luka might be slightly injured and listed as probable. KP is MIA in this series.

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.


Not too easy for them I believe, we still have the Sixers and the Nets who are playing very well as well.
If they want to be in the Easter conference final, they have to beat the Nets who is a heavy favorite to win the championship this season.

Sixers though will have an easier 2nd round as they could face the winner of the NYK vs Hawks series.

here's the playoff picture.

That's agreeable, not easy for the bucks as they needed to beat whoever won the with Nets and Celtics,
then afterwards they needed to face the winning team in the side of this semi-finals.

There are lots of surprises coming this playoff time, maybe we see some disappointment, favorite may fall
and just like the last bubble and the year before that where we see unexpected team to win the eastern finals.

Just like what you mentioned, No offense with either Hawks or NYK fans but is more likely that Sixers have a higher
advantage to whoever won that series in between this two teams.

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.

It's still too far I believe, it's about the game of adjustment, Blazers had adjusted very well in game 4, let's expect that the Nuggets will do the same. For now, it looks like Blazers are the favorites per homecourt, as they could give -4.5 at home while they are only +1.5 when playing at Nuggets homecourt.
Nuggets really need the contribution of Murray they could have a face again with the lakers, but the injury forbids it, yes the joker really needs more help, he can't do it both passing and under the basket, Gordon should be more aggressive, while others should concentrate on their part, the blazers are eager to move to the next round, but I think they won't make it to the west finals again this year.

A good adjustment limiting the players of Denver to produce points.

I'm just wondering how the coaching staff rotates the players, they can let those stars to stay inside the court and  bring something out

but instead they keep changing players most of them only got 27 minutes of played compared with Blazers stars  which have 30+ minutes
and really provides something to lift the team.

That happened because the game was not close, Blazers were up 27 points already after the 3rd quarter, it's hard for the Nuggets to come back in just one quarter, so they choose to rest their starters and prepared themselves for game 5 back at home.

It's too far from over because the series is now tied, if the Clippers will win in game 4, it will be like the Blazers vs Nuggets series that could likely reach a game 7. It's getting more intense, we are having some good series in the West if that will happen.

Blazers seemed to have changed in style, Lillard is more of a facilitator in game 3. He only had 10 points but got 10 assists, a double-double for him though he is just shooting 1-10.

I was thinking to myself, do you think if Tyler Herro had that sensational performance that he had in late 2020 and early 2021, the Heat would be able to win this series??
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.

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.

Anyway, congratulations to the Bucks for sweeping the Heat, well done.

Indeed, Giannis is still very consistent with another triple-double in this game.

20 points, 12 rebounds, and 15 assists, while on the other hand, we have Butler who only scored 12 points from a 4/15 shooting.

We also can't forget Jrue Holiday's contribution with another almost double-double night, just one short with an assist.

Their performance is indeed one of the best this year since they swept the defending eastern conference champion. looks like we will gonna see some real action soon when Brooklyn defeats Boston in their next 2 games or we will see another upset if they defeated by Bostons in this round. nevertheless, I want to see the Milwaukee Bucks if they still play as they played Miami Heat in the next round as we can see they still have plenty of time to study their next opponents.

Based on the series odds now, it's unlikely that we will see an upset, Nets are 1.03 only to win the series, so I even doubt that Boston will again win in game 4. I think they will lose and Nets will celebrate at home in game 5.

The fourth game of the Trail Blazers - Nuggets series is still going on. Denver are leading the series 2-1 but it looks like it will change to 2-2. Because Trail Blazers are completely destroying Nuggets now (93-66).

Trail Blazers already won 115-95.

And it also looks like the Sixers are going to win as well, their 3 points are clicking, Curry and Danny Green and then Joel abusing the paint, so it's going to be 3-0.

Bucks got their revenge on Heat, you can see that they don't want this game slip away. Even at a huge lead, they really played good defense. Happy are those who take on the handicap for the Bucks as it was covered with plenty to spare.

It looks like the Trail Blazers - Nuggets series will end with a very close result.
Because of the win in game 4, they've done a great job on limiting Jokic and Nurkic is scoring as well.
Also, Norman Powelle is the man, he steps up his game, and good thing he has given more trust in game 4.

Game 5, back to Denver.


Yes, 76ers won 132-103 and brought the score of the series to 3-0. J. Embiid (36 pts, 8 reb) and T. Harris (20 pts, 13 reb, 5 ast) showed a really good performance. I guess they will finish the job in the next game.

This is not a good series.

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.

I was impressed with the result of the game, I never imagined, the Heat would be swept in this way, especially in leadership of Erik Spoelstra, who for me is an excellent coach.

Milwaukee Bucks have gotten past Miami Heat with a whopping 4-0 result in the series. Giannis was incredibly good and played a big role on his team's advancing. I especially liked his last performance which he made a triple double, 20 PTS, 12 REB and 15 AST. I would expect from Heat to do better than this.

Joel Embiid signed his career-high in the NBA Playoffs with 36 points and dragged the Philadelphia 76ers to the match-point in the series against Washington (3-0). Embid dominated the game, going to halftime with 25 points and his team ahead 72-58. For the Wizards, besides Embiid's problem, there was also Westbrook's physical problem (ankle). Russ scored a triple-double anyway (26 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists) but it was useless because his team went as low as -31 and then lost 132-103.
