Forbes and  Pat Connaughton really contributed and help Bucks seal the game. First quarter alone, Forbes shots the lights out of the arena and then it was team chemistry that really sink Heat on the last 2 quarters. They could really sweep the Heat with the way Butler is playing. It seems he doesn't want to score and settling down on assists. Unfortunately, if his team is not shooting that good then they can't win the series against the Bucks. And if Dedmon is the leading scorer of the team, then there's something wrong.

Too much Bucks in this game. 10 three pointers in a quarter and a 26 point lead to start the game. Its just complete domination by these team.

Looks like they've adjusted to what happened last years where they got dominate by the Heat. TBH, I completely underestimated the Bucks at the start of the season because of their roster compare to other championship contender teams but looks like we can include them in the top picks on winning the title Smiley.

On the other game, the Nuggets came back and win Game 2 128-109.
It's not just about Giannis and Middleton anymore. All the players in the Bucks team are trying to make a contribution.
Jrue Holiday is a rising star and with wingmen like Pat Connaughton and DiVincenzo their team is now a complete roster with outside and inside offensive strength. All they need to do is work the magic of chemistry which they already showed. It's difficult to find a weakness to this strong team.
This series could end up in a sweep if things will go out of hand, Heat needs to find a way to win one game and boost the confidence of their young players.

How about the Milwaukee Bucks today?

Looks like they don't gonna give any chance to the Miami Heat this time. they won the last 2 games and managed to give Miami Heat the worst game in the NBA playoffs today.

Great win for them. The 3 point shot will really the big difference in this game for the Bucks.

Miami went into the finals last year and beat them 4-1. So definitely they don't need to sleep on them as they can still come back from 0-2 deficit. Game 3 will be crucial for the Heat, they are now desperate, so for sure it will be a good match at their homecourt and I wouldn't be surprised if they get a win.
Too much firepower from the bucks in the 1st until 3rd quarter of the game the heat unable to stop the barrage of three's, if the bucks will be like this in the next 2 games it will be over in four games, supporting cast are lighting it up, and the heat doesn't have any answers while Giannis is muscling his way into the paint.

Nets vs Celtics first game. I think Nets will start very strong in the first half as they don't want to play catch up against the still dangerous Boston team.

Durant and Kyrie and Harden should really pour in and score just like what the Bucks din to Heat and then play good defence down the strength. At least they have a good cushion instead of like a said, trying to get back at 3rd quarter. If this scenario happens, Nets could easily covered the spread.

Yeah, they won the second game also. They were both home games for Milwaukee of course. I wonder whether they will keep up the great work away also. By the way, Giannis had another great game. He made a double-double (31 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists).

It's just so satisfying to see when the trash talking backfires.
I don't understand why the fans were mad with Trae Young. I mean he's still a very young talented player, he doesn't deserve this hate. He still have a long way to be on the path of the villain like LeBron and Durant did. So, I guess the hate is pure nonsense, just because he's a threat for the Knicks that gives the dumb*ss fans the authority to talk sh*t and chanting like an uneducated dumb*sses.
Trae Young's playoffs debut is an unforgettable one lol.

I appreciate Trae for being professional as usual, fueled with motivation from the trash talking fans.

I confess that it was also gratifying for me to see Trae Young "shutting down" Madison Square Garden.
He is proving that he is an excellent player and has a bright future ahead of him.
I bet he will come "on fire" in the next games !!

By continuing what he's doing now and makes more big time shots,

He's going to earned more respect than hate after, now those fans are very upsets since it's the first time Knicks went to the playoffs after that long years of missing this opportunities, it's just a loving fans emotions and for sure Young knew about it and use that hate as inspirations to keep fuelling the team and feel the completions to the its next level.

Memphis just outsmarted the Jazz. I don't expect this to happen again in the series.

I expected Knicks to put little more effort in defence. Trae was outstanding however. I see them going to game 7.


The Knicks defensive effort was great actually.  It was the offense that sputtered. Between Randle, rj and bullock they went 3-17 from downtown and shot terribly inside the 3 pt line too.  A lot of hesitation not seen in the reg season as well.  They will hit the video room and clean that up.  I like the Knicks in game 2 here

Very bad night for Randle at that time. He can't find his shooting rhythm. He shoots one then misses the next.
I hope when that happens someone will step up or he should think about not forcing it. He's huge and he can do more than just shooting outside.
Post-up game or just freaking drive it to the rim.

Trae Young winning shot made him a big threat to the Knicks now.
It's his playoffs debut and yet there is no sign of stiffness.

I agree, the defense is there, but they have horrendous shooting night, while the crowd mock and disrespect Young, they didn't know that Trae was in the zone and that clutch winning drive, dagger!!!

I do hope that Knicks will bounce back in the second game, they don't want to a 0-2 deficit, against a dangerous team. And with Trae Young putting in 110% efforts, it will be a close game again on game 2.

Bucks with a huge margin now against Miami 20++ in the second quarter. They burn the hoops with 3's in the first quarter.

We are watching a pretty good match-up, Hawks vs. Knicks. While Knicks use all players Hawks only rely on Trae Young and John Collins for scoring. It's good to see Derrick Rose back to play-off mode despite all these injuries. He looks focused today. Hawks defense looks pretty weak, they gave away a lot of rebounds. It's still head to head game, we may even see an overtime here. I'm expecting a narrow Knicks win for this game, they looked better.

That will be the end of the Knicks hype. What a terrible game by randle and the other starters.

Outscored 64:41 by the own bench. Whole bench has a positive +- while every starter has a negative one.

Good bye in the 1st round.

I think quite the opposite.  Randall had his worst game of the season he usually dominates John Collins.  And it still took a floater with .9 seconds left to lock it up.  Don't think Julius is going to throw out 3 more straight stinkers like that one.  Bullock was way off too.  I'm pissed but if the Knicks looked great and still lost I'd be worried.  Still got the Knicks in 6 on this series not wavering from that

I honestly didn't see Suns beating Lakers that way, it wasn't even as close as the results show. However what people are missing is the fact that Lakers kept Suns at 99 points which is awesome defense whereas Lebron and AD missed so many shots, they played horrible, played under 40% fg combined, and Devin Booker outscored them combined. Do you really think that AD and Lebron will play that bad for the rest of the series?

I mean Suns fans should be happy about the result but I think they should be scared as well, the moment either Lebron or AD gets better and plays a good game, 99 points is horrible for Suns, Lakers could score 20+ more points than that easily when they get their stars playing properly. Plus CP3 got injured once again, he is known to get injured during playoffs, it is his signature move at this point, let's hope he comesback healthy without any problems, he kept playing so I assume he will be fine.

I didn't see it coming either.  As a Suns fan, DeAndre Anyton's play is definitely inspiring for the future.  I have my doubts as to whether or not he's able to keep that up.  Drummond was supposed to solve that problem, but he was outplayed bigtime last game.  I think Ayton is going to have himself one hell of a battle next game as the Lakers bigs are going to certainly be looking to punish him physically and keep him off the boards.  Especially if CP3 isn't able to come back quickly.  He may be old and injury prone, but it's obvious how important his impact is to the Suns chances of winning.  I hope he's able to get back on the court soon.  He's got to be sick of missing playoff games throughout his career...

Memphs won 8 out of last 9 games. They are on the run with wining mentality. Wining mentality is very important for young team was is Memphis. We all saw what Utah showed us in regular season. But series will be way more even than people expect.

It was a close game as expected, at first half Hawks was better but Knicks took control in second half, until last seconds. It almost went to overtime but Trae Young showed an incredible performance and hit the buzzer beater. Also Bogdanovic was there when Hawks desperately needed 3 points. I said buzzer because what the heck was last ball for Knicks? How could they waste last ball with that play? This serie won't end fast, it's obvious. We may see 6 or 7 games. Hawks youngsters looked hungry.


A minute left and Knicks have that lead that they can keep to win this game but that 3 points shot coming from the side really changed the game tempo.

Bogdanovic really filled that space he made that shot and bring the hypes, then Trae finished it up and complete the rally, shutting all the
Knicks crowd with his winning shot.

It's not easy to assume as this is  just the start of the series and they both showing what fans paying for, the entertainment and enjoyment that they'll looking from their favorite team.
