I'm right with my vote, Mavs vs Wolves in the WCF. Anyway, incredible series between the Nuggets and Wolves. By far the best series in these playoffs. Both Murray and Jokic scored more than 30 points, but their four teammates only contributed a total of 21 points. I thought the Nuggets could still come back and the Wolves were in foul trouble, but that follow-up dunk by KAT solidified their win. Also, kudos to Reid for the good defense in the fourth quarter. Mavs vs Wolves will also be a good matchup, but nah, Celtics vs Wolves it is.

Denver vs Minesota game 7 was really hype and amazing, what a comeback did by Minesota.
What I just noticed is some official calls really strange and you can feel it is a game 7. Props to Minnesota comeback especially the superb steals.

Best game of the year is underway on TNT… Looks like Denver is going to swarm Edwards from the first couple possessions.

Hehe what time did the Pacers vs Knicks game 7 started? I took a rest and forgot to bet on that game. I'm just looking at the stats now and I'm impressed how the Pacers were so efficient. Shooting at 67% and doing that in game 7? They are going to be trouble. Another thing that I found impressive was the point distribution.
Like 2 hours ago I guess, I have missed it as well because it was a tiring day.

They just made the game 7 look easy. But are they going to survive with the Boston Celtics? That will be a different thing.

The Thunder are a young team, they can go further in the coming years. For the Mavs, it was important to make it this season.
Yep, they're still a young team and in the next season. I am expecting to see them still in the playoffs but I think some other teams will be forming with a better roster and I am talking about Spurs but later with that, let's get to the final game this day the Wolves and Nuggets.

Have money on wolves but think this is gonna be a close game throughout.
I hope you don't mind but what did you bet on? I'm planning to bet on the Wolves as well but I still can't pick if them winning including overtime @2.6 or a safer handicap +4.5 @1.91 I also think it's going to be a close game and could be decided by a single play at the end.

It was a dramatic end for the Thunder. Game 7 would've been exciting, but the Mavs deserved to go to the finals. Both teams were close, the small margins were decisive in the series. The Thunder are a young team, they can go further in the coming years. For the Mavs, it was important to make it this season.

For the Knicks in a season full of injuries, this is also an achievement. I thought they could go through ECF, but when Brunson got injured it was over for them. DiVincenzo had to fight all alone. The Knicks were a good team, it's a shame for them. They are living proof of how important it is to stay healthy in the playoffs. The Pacers have a very difficult job in the ECF.

Seems like NY has a few injured players trying to tough it out today. Probably not the best idea in a game 7. I’m guessing Indiana takes the win today but I guess we’ll find out in a couple hours. A shame injuries always play such a big role in the NBA Playoffs.
New York Knicks able to cut it to a single digit deficit but the Pacers have another run in the 3rd as well, so the huge lead still remain and I don't see NYK able to come back in the 4th quarter anymore. OG came played but less than 10 minutes only, while Hart is back but he wasn't contributing much with 10 points only. The biggest problem is Brunson who is shooting poorly, with his current 6/17 shooting, this could only mean that the team will struggle.
Pacers should hold on to close out this series. NY looked like they were gonna comeback at the start of the 2nd half, fortunately for the Pacers they got hot again and took control of the game.

Having to play bench players, starter minutes just couldn't overcome Pacers offense.  Congrats to the Pacers nobody had them pegged for the ecf so good on them.  I just hope the conference finals goes 6 or 7 amd isn't a one side series.  Looking forward to tonight's game.  Have money on wolves but think this is gonna be a close game throughout.
I took Pacers ML and o201.5 in Den/Min game. This series has been so crazy, I wasn't sure who to pick and the over screamed bet me lol. Pacers and Celtics are the #1 and #2 highest scoring offenses in the regular season so we will def see some shooting. I think the Celtics prob win the series in 5 though. Never know though.

Wow, congratulations to Indiana Pacers. What a satisfying with for them, a 21 point lead game. That was incredible.

Now, the Eastern Conference finals match up is complete. Boston Celtics against the Indiana Pacers. While on the other bracket, we'll see also who's going to be against the Dallas Mavericks.

People want to see more of the Wolves but the fans of the Nuggets, obviously want to see Luka and Jokic play against each other on the Western Conference finals.

Dallas Mavericks is no doubt the favorite on this game 7. I agree to what you've said that if Luka don't play well, it's a domino effect to the entire team.

That seems to be where they're getting their strength and how they play well. But good thing for the team that there's Kyrie and he's known and no doubt a star as well.

That's why if the other don't play well, there's still the other one that will catch all of that bad shot to try and make things right.

It's actually only game six and yeah they are favorites pretty much because they are playing at home.  I think these 2 teams match up real well against each other.  If okc can squeeze out a win they likely will be favorites playing at home in the game 7.  I'm hoping to see that.  A 1 game win and in game between these 2 teams would be insane. 
Yeah, game 6 it was a typo error.

The game was intense and I thought that this is going to be a record for Chet that with his first actual season playing with the team, he'd be able to get into the conference finals.

To be honest, I like that last slam dunk alley hoop that he has made telling to everyone that the game hasn't ended yet.

The last free throw was missed on a purpose and it was so close if ever the last ball handler was close to the OKC's ring, it was a flop against the Mavs.

once again Luka is the key to Dallas. Luka once again was shooting over 50% and it spells disaster to OKC. Luka was on triple double and once again he is back to the western conference finals after failing to reach the playoffs last season with Kyrie joining the team.
Dallas did great on this season and now they are back to the conference finals.

Having Kyrie was a great addition to the team and we all have seen that.

Now we have to wait who they will be against, Nuggets or Wolves.
I think especially in this series we have seen the effects of Kyrie.Iit's really pleasing that he reached a level close to his prime after years, but it's not the same kyrie in terms of playing style. After luka's performance decline, there is a kyrie who can see the team more, manage the team and take full control and carry the team when necessary. His last quarter performance and clutch plays are also very good in these playoffs. There is a huge game tonight for WCF and I am very eager to see what Kyrie will do against the winner of tonight's game. If Luka is healthy, we might see very interesting results in the WCF.

We are going to end up seeing one of the most important game sevens of this season, well most important playoff games of this season. Wolves really built a team that works perfectly against Nuggets, every team should work towards finding how to be so well matched up against the champions. I am not saying that Wolves will win, and of course this win made it a lot better for them to have a chance but at the same time we are talking about something that does involve Wolves having a chance now.

I do not know what is going to happen afterwards, but this does look like very good two teams facing each other, and the winner may end up being the title winners unless they are way too tired. Celtics on the other side still looks quite strong though.

Still an impressive game by SGA, dropping 36 points. The Thunder had 2 more field goals, but the Mavs had more free throws and were ahead by one 3-point shot. They were also beaten in rebounding by a difference of 16. That is very frustrating, losing your chance to go to the WCF by only 1 point. Anyway, I got 1 correct answer in the poll; the only one left is for the Wolves to win.
You have to remember that there's a game 7 if OKC succeeds in that game, so even if they win, it's still not guaranteed that they'll win in game 7. It's more disappointing for Dallas if they are not able to win that game when the opportunities were given to them. They came back from a big deficit and finished it right. I think they are more deserving of that spot.

I have PJ Washington as the hero of the game although Luka had a great performance and Irving played well too.

PJ Washington hero for sure.  Those 3 point shots at the end were daggers.  He misses one of those makes amd its a whole different game.  I know the coach has to try to challenge but any little contact and they can't over turn it.  I would have rather seen them take the foul shots amd save the one timeout so they could advance the ball.  Basically if you lose the challenge you lose the game with the timeout you still get a real good shot with 2.5 seconds left.

yeah, He was contributing in both defence and offence. You wouldn't see him most of the time contesting shots and filling the gaps on the defense during the regular season. Also the easy points because of the lob pass he was doing for his team.

Anyway, I got 1 correct answer in the poll; the only one left is for the Wolves to win.

Its undeniable that SGA and OKC crew is really impressive at game 6 they didn't give any easy win for Mavs but its just they are been out of luck and Mavs hit those lucky shot to win game 6 then advance to conference finals.

Got nervous when PJ Washington commit crucial mistake since I really thought at that time that this will be the turnout and OKC will win but suddenly there is unwanted foul committed and Washington go to free throw line and make the two shots and intentionally miss the last one so the shot clock will continue and OKC will not have any chance to do their last shot anymore.

Now this is really great since Mavs can take a rest then wait for Knicks and Pacers result since both team will be another tough match up for them.
