Let's stop criticizing Leonard here, they will get back in the series, they will dominate again the Dallas Mavericks at home. That last shot was well defended so he hesitates a bit, but it was okay though, the series is not yet over, they still have a chance to bounce back.
I think we criticize them in their first two games lost against the Dallas team. They bounce back and tie the series, we applauded them.  So that's how it works in all sports.

I don't think it is well defended though, and it is really a bad shot, and he was the main man in Clippers and he is supposedly to take the last shot. But yes, they still have another game, it's win or go home for them. So they either have to bounce back again and tie the series, or it will be offer and of course there will be a lot of finger pointing and criticizing as what went wrong with two superstars. They say it's the coach, Doc Rivers, so they replace him with Ty Lue.

If the trend will continue, this would mean that the Dallas Mavericks will win the series. Home court advantage is none-xistent in this series. I like this series, and Luka seem to be back again and his teammates are contributing big time in this game, they know they need to win.

Kawhi shooting an air ball 3 in the corner? Damn, Playoff Rondo getting mad as hell.

Lol, I remember Max Kellerman's saying that Kawhi is better than Kobe under pressure.

Get the f**k out of here Max, never a fan of his being an NBA sport analyst.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMfFmPbsYPI
I often watch Max Kellerman and Stephen A's debates and I just laughed when I watched the video you shared.
Max is a great fan of Kawhi and now that this sh*t happened, I'm still waiting on what Stephen A will say to Max when they debate again Cheesy.

Kawhi has been pressured by Finney-Smith and been forced to shot a three point. With Rondo being mad on their last play, I'm thinking that this might affect the whole morale of the team. I might be wrong though.

And obviously, someone need to stop Young, just the question of what game plan they have against Trae and then Simmons bringing his A game without Joel. But I think Sixers is going to win ithe series in six games.
Luka Doncic making his own record at Clippers' home.
Winning this game will give them a chance to end it at Dallas for homecourt advantage.

Luka is owning the Clippers in their home court. Kristap hitting that corner 3 and then Kawhi air ball? what can you say more about this series, lots of ups and downs, battle of spurts and in the end hard to say who will going to win because it was really close.

I'll take Sixers to win that series against the Atlanta Hawks, Sixers has deeper bench, even George Hill can guard Trae one on one. Harris will play an important role here if Embiid cannot play in this series. 20-30 points for him in this game.
If you will follow the past 5 games of this match-up, no one ever won on their homecourt which is kinda funny but it happened Cheesy.
Anyway, they still don't have any way to stop the Luka Magic. Dallas is one win away from getting their revenge against the Clippers and I think that they will end it on Game 6.

On Hawks-76ers game, I will take 76ers with this too in 5-6 games. I like how Trae is playing but.. if Golden State has Steph Curry then the 76ers has Seth Curry which can shoot threes too and can give you double digit points if needed like what happened in their last game against the Wizards. I just hope that Embiid will play in this series or they "might" lose this series though.

Kawhi shooting an air ball 3 in the corner? Damn, Playoff Rondo getting mad as hell.



I will get mad as well, the comparison of Kawhi to Lebron and to some extend to Kobe is not fair. Kawhi needs to prove more, and today's airball will be more remembered that the shots he made in 2019 against the Sixers.

Not over yet for the Lakers, I still think that there's some thing inside of Lebron that says they can win the next game and will be Lebron's another defining game 6 moments, and the number speaks for itself.

When I saw Kawhi headed towards the corner I thought we were going to see another fading away bouncing around the rim end of game miracle shot.  The airball was a bit of a surprise...  It seemed like Kawhi was looking for someone to blame and Rondo wasn't having it.  It looked pretty clear that Kawhi needed to give up the ball once the defense was all over him.  Nowadays the star player always has to take the last shot for some reason, so he did what was expected of him.  He was pretty much in a lose/lose position, which is probably why he was looking to put blame on the person who threw him the ball.

11-12 Lakers was a decent team but not a great team at all, the picture you are showing is the 12-13 Lakers which added Nash and Howard. Steve Nash missed a huge chunk of the season, Howard created all that drama during that season and Kobe got his most famous injury that eventually resulted with him retiring after few seasons. So basically this is not really a good example, if Lebron gets a super injury like ACIL or some tear whatever that causes him to be never the same player again, it could resemble, but I doubt that will happen.

AD is not out that much neither, he will come back soon, and the team is not really that much of a disappointment considering they literally won the cup last season, you do not have to win it every single season, you can win one and then let someone else win the next one. Which is why I am sure Lakers fans are probably fine about it, they won the league on their first playoffs after so many years missing it.
Sorry @jaberwock , but I disagree with you.

The Lakers in 12/13 season was an excellent team, yes, the only problem it's because the LA had several unforeseen, for example injuries in some players.

If the team was 100% healthy, I think they could beat the Heat(maybe) at that time
I don't know if it could be the Lakers best  team ever had, because the team of Magic Johnson and Kareen, and Kb and Shaq in the early 2000s were unstoppable, and one of the best in the franchise's history.
The team struggles due to injuries, surely this is not the Lakers best team, I think Kobe Shaq is better than the current roster, but if we are going to compare if AD and Lebron are 100% they can still argue who is the best, if the lakers are going to overcome this suns team and are healthy they still have a chance for a back to back but with the injuries by injuries i have now doubts if they can move to the second round.

2 rebounds shy for supposed another triple-double by Luka Doncic. Mavericks won 105-100.

The last few minutes of the game were so intense. Clippers got a chance to win the game but failed to execute the play that leads to Hardaway's clutch free throw for a 103-100 lead. But still, I'm amazed at how the Clippers rallied the game as they are downed by as much as 16 on the 4th quarter and downed to 10 points on the last 2 minutes of the game.

Mavericks is still at their worst on that game but looking forward to them winning the series.

I mean the Knicks definitely overachiever this year but after the way they played this year I thought they would definitely throw up a fight in the first round.  Couldn't have been more wrong.  They looked completely lost out there, terrible 5 games even the one they won...guess there is next year.

Both teams shot terribly, but it looks like the Knicks shot a little worse and the Hawks rebounded a little better.  The Knicks had been relying heavily on Randle to win games this season and his 23 points tonight just wasn't enough to do it.  Barrett shot pretty terribly as well.  He's going to need to be much more efficient if he wants to have a career in the NBA.  Making the playoffs in itself was a massive step forward for the Knicks though.  If they can hold onto and develop their talent, I could see them picking up a decent free agent and being a top 5 team in the East.

No doubt. 76ers are way above the Hawks when it comes to offensive strength. Even minus Embiid.
All they need is someone to stop Capella, and Howard is still there for that position, he may just want to take care of his fouls.
Simmons is there to stop Trae, which is actually a mismatch.
Then, Curry and Green are good defenders too so even with a switch Trae will be having a difficult time scoring.

Winning this game will give them a chance to end it at Dallas for homecourt advantage.

If Joel Embiid is not going to play on game 1, I would say that Atlanta might have a slight advantage although it will be on Sixers home court. Atltanta has proven that they can steal home court just like what they did on the Knicks. Capela vs Howard now on the middle the main difference is how Trae Young are going to play. So far against the Knicks, he has been carrying the load for Atlanta.

What a disappointment to the New York Knicks most of the fans expect that they will gonna face the Brooklyn Nets but things are not the same in the playoffs though, you will always see scenes such as this one. anyway, the Eastern Conference will finally all set for the second round and the Hawks vs 76ers will be on 06/06 on their first game. who will dominate the series?

As J. Embiid has a knee injury, it's a big loss for 76ers and big opportunity for Wizards. I feel like the series will be 3-2 after this game. Especially Westbrook's performance can be really crucial for a win.

Nope, Sixers already won today, and complete a 4-1 series over the Wizards. Although Joel didn't play, Simmons has a triple double, Howard who replaces Embiid score 12 points, Seth Curry monster game with his 3's with 30 points and Tobias Harris contributed with 28 points.

And Atlanta has shutdown the hype of New York Knicks 4-1 as well. In paper it looks like the Knicks are going to be the favourite with the strength of their winning streak in the regular season. But it seems that it was all hype, Randle was a disappointment in this series.

@JEFE92, good luck mate, I just don't like the Wizards here, despite not having Embiid, I think the 76ers can still take care of the business. They will have to win this game, otherwise, the series will reach game 7 which they will not like since the pressure is high.

I agree with the other picks though, but since this is a parlay bet, you need the Wizards to win.

It's time to share my bet, yesterday's bet was won 100%, I am sincerely sorry for those who bet on the Blazers, but Dame was a god. Here's a parlay for today:

Clippers + Jazz + Wizards = x4.67: My bet


Today there are no less interesting matches, almost everyone can decide the issue of reaching the semifinals. The Clippers finally found their game and did not allow Doncic to win on their site. The funny thing is that Mavs won 2 matches in LA, and Clippers won 2 in Dallas, but today it should be a completely different situation, since PG is no longer as lost on the court as he was in the first 2 games, so I believe in the Clippers victory today.

Morant shows skill, but it still lacks, although it is a good experience for next season, but Utah should close the series 4-1 today.

And the last match in the combo is quite difficult to analise, because knowing that Wizards like to throw the games, although if you think so, then how can they lose to a team that has lost its firepower, but everything is real. Hope Westbrook gonna pick up and break Phila tonight.
