So this has to be one of the more strange news reports of the playoffs so far, but apparently the Knicks were unified before game 5 and propelled to victory by a pregame locker room fart? You read that right. I can’t say I’ve ever heard of such a thing but the link to the tweet is below if you want to hear more about it.

LOL.. That probably serve as a wake up call for them after losing 2 straight at Indiana. And since they won game 5, that's a I good one I must say. Whoever did that should be recognize as the Hero as that resulted to a dominating win by the Knicks at home.

So we have SGA and ANT as the future of the NBA right now, and again even if they are eliminated in this series against Jokic and Luka, this for sure will stamped in their memory and will improved drastically in the next season. One hour the game will start between the Nuggets and the Wolves, I will definitely watch this game, but not betting though, just enjoying and may the best team wins and goodluck to all bettors.

They're likely to be the face of the NBA and I agree. The old era of veterans and superstars are about to end anytime soon.

And going with Wolves and Nuggets match later, I want to see Nuggets end it already so that we see another match up. But a part of me is telling to see more of ANT to be honest.

May the best team win then.

With the season on the line tonight I’m expecting to see Anthony Edwards give maximum effort out there. Especially after his last game. We need to see the Michael Jordan comparisons flying tonight. Denver is going to try their best to end his season and Gobert should be seeking revenge for his last defensive effort. Hoping it’s a good game… Go Minnesota (they’re both a couple of my favorite teams).

Cavs did enough for me to lose my -10.5 bet on Celtics last time so I'm going to pick Cavs +15.5 @1.96 this time hehe.

Good luck, the ball is definitely balanced and round and no one will know until the game ends.

All I really care is winning the bet to be honest hehe. The first half is over and the Cavs are still holding on despite the absence of several key players. Garland is expected to carry this team again but Marcus Morris is playing surprisingly well. I'll be happy if they can keep the score close to the Celtics in the second half too.

And that bet was a loss, that's okay.

I am also like that even though I know that these odds would mean nothing when the favored team wins. I'd say that it's still a good match and Cleveland had made it this far again.

Dallas with this win put a feet in the final of conference but still a way to go, is not a easy team to beat Oklahoma, and i dont think they are gonna give up right now.

Props to OKC, they're still breathing. We'd see if the game 6 will be final for them or will take a revenge win.

I'm a knicks fan so I definitely don't want to see a game 7 there but for both series in the west I'm hoping for a seven game series. Starts tonight with the wolves at home needing a win. Ant has to have a huge game for them. Will see what the young kid is made of tonight. It's amazing he is only 22 and has pretty much taken the NBA over. Once he gets to 25/26 years old the dude is going to be unstoppable.

Yes, he is still very young and this could really be a good experience for him, and we have seen great players in the past, who after suffering a lost, then improved in the following years and then become legends.

Experience also played a huge role here. Looking at the attempts, OKC missed a lot of opportunities while Dallas converted over 50% of their shots. Luka have two minor injuries which means he can still be stopped. SGA seems like the only one the remained composed in their young team. I have a series bet on OKC but I already accepted that this is a 50/50 series because the team made it at top 1 but obviously lacked the playoffs experience. But I am still hoping OKC will also once again steal a game in Dallas to force a game 7 at home.

Honestly, when you haven't been to this level of playoffs before it is going to be scary for all those young players, OKC is building a team that could be around these levels for many years in a row if they do not ruin the team, they have a great star and they are doing quite well right now.

However, this is the first time, and that means we are going to see them have anxiety when they are shooting, and if your hand trembles when you shoot, you are going to miss those shots and have these type of games. In the end they are doing well so far, and in a few years I am expecting them to fight for a title, be a contender at least. But as long as Nuggets and Jokic keeps going like this, it is going to be tough for anyone else.

Yesterday Luka Doncic play much better tha other games and reach a triple double for him, anyways i still think he needs to improve his accuracy he is missing so many shots right now.

Dallas with this win put a feet in the final of conference but still a way to go, is not a easy team to beat Oklahoma, and i dont think they are gonna give up right now.

So we have the game 6 tomorrow between the Nuggets and Wolves.

Who among us here still believe that the Wolves could bring the series to Nuggets? Personally, I find it almost impossible for the Wolves to win after Jokic torture the defensive player in game 5, and judging on the outcome of the last 3 games, Wolves IMO has no chance of winning.

game 3 112 - 97
game 4 115 - 107
game 5 117 - 90

Game 4 was the closest but it was already controlled by the Denver.

It’s nearly impossible to beat the Nuggets unless Wolves will find a way to lock down Jokic(Maybe double team him). I notice that Wolves usually do an isolation defense against Jokic with Gobert that makes it not effective anymore since Jokic already knew how to break the defense of Gobert.

Wolves need to double team Jokic with KAT and limit him to pass the ball before he can even make a play. They should just improve what they are doing on game 1 and 2. Stop relying to Gobert defense alone to contain Jokic because it’s proven not effective anymore his defense.

I still believe that they can push Game 7 if they just lock down Jokic.

I'm always rooting for the Mavs to win the series against the Thunder. OKC took a lot of 3-point attempts, but they only made 10 out of 40. SGA scored 30 points, but the second-highest scorer, Chet, only made 13. The Mavs lead the series and will play at home in Game 6. As long as they can't stop Luka's offense, which is likely to happen, they are bound to lose.

Me too; I was rooting for Luka and the Mavs to win this series. Actually, I was also rooting for Luka to win the MVP, but sadly, he didn't get it, and I really don't like the disrespect Luka gets. They say that Shai is a better player overall compared to Luka, and this kind of narrative is being used in the MVP talks. For me, they are both talented, but Luka has been great ever since he got to the league, while SGA is a late bloomer. So, if the Mavs win this series against the OKC, it will shut down those critics of him. Also, if he ever wins the Championship this season, it is a great story for him; after not winning the MVP, he gets the Ring and the Finals MVP. Sounds like a great story for Luka and the Mavs, also for the NBA.

I think majority here is rooting for the Mavs to win, it's not that we don't like OKC or SGA, they are a good team, they are the number 1 seed in the West, but I felt that it's not their time to shine, not yet. On the other hand, the Mavs with Luka as putting up a good series against them and the whole team are putting effort for them to win this series against the inexperience OKC. And it also shows their defense as well, with their new acquisition in the trade deadline, anchoring everything with Gafford and PJ Washington. So now the next game will be at Dallas homecourt, one of the loudest arena, it will be crazy if they are going to beat the Thunder.

I think the Mavericks and I'm rooting for them to win because they have the better experience than the OKC. though it's not over yet but it's likely that they'll advance since we are not seeing new from the OKC, it's all SGA and eventually this guy will feel the fatigued, so I think his production will drop. In a do or die game and the Mavs want to finish the series, expect a more physical game, but thus far, OKC can't match the physicality of the Mavericks so that's a big factor why I believe Dallas will finish them in 6.

Mavs steal another win on the road, it's time to close the game in 6. Actually, Mavs could have ended the series already if they were more careful in game 4.

There's no other players from the OKC stepping up, unlike with the Mavs where their bigs have stepped up. SGA is good as we can see on his output, but him alone carrying the team would give them a slim chance of coming back. Well, a win in game 6 would bring this game to 7, but how sure they are they can win game 7? I don't know, the OKC have the chance to take the lead as they are at home, but that two losses at home resulting them to be down 3-2 in the series.

OKC only shoots 25% from 3, it was suppose to be their strength, so when they struggle in that area, we know they'll likely loss.

their average this season was almost 40%.
https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/thunder-3pt-percentage

Thunder has a very slim odd to win as per sports bookies with this win and now going back to their homecourt, the Mavs are the favorite. Although the OKC steal one at Mavs homecourt, Luka might not give them the chance again and finished the series and so they can rest before facing the winner of Nuggets vs Wolves. I do agree, there's no one stepping up in this game, Chet and Giddey are a non-factor in this series and they should be the one helping SGA who are doing everything and carrying this team in his shoulders. As compare to the Mavs, although Kyrie is not scoring that much and contented to be just a play maker, Gafford, PJ Washington, Lively and Derrick Jones are doing everything at both ends of the floor.

It looks like the Thunder have chosen some strange strategy for this game. I mean, what was the point of continuing to make so many three-pointers if they already had a poor shooting percentage after the first quarter. Anyway, let's see what will happen in game 6, but if the Thunder can't adapt during the game, they will probably lose this series.

Well they might thought that it will be enough to overcome the Mavs. But unfortunately, in their homecourt, perhaps the biggest game as they will take a good lead, the inexperienced OKC Thunder was not able to respond.

And the more that the fans taunted Luka and Irving, the more they responded. And there are a lot of players that step up in this game for the Mavs.

So what do you think of a series between the Nuggets vs Mavs in the potential West finals?

Can't blame them to do that since Mavs have good defenders so maybe they are trying their best to became hot on rainbow area so they could take the advantage on situation. But it comes up short with them since Mavs is in the momentum today. Its good to see a good series between this match up since we could able to see that even though they are struggling still we can see a great plays made by OKC. But what's really bothering today is Chet has been totally limited by Lively so maybe on their next game they should adjust with that and make sure that Chet could contribute some good numbers since OKC need him in this crucial game. Its do or die game for them on game 6 so I guess we could see more intense game since OKC would provably adjust to have more great execution and they need to out perform Mavs to survive until they push to have a game 7 on this series.
