But I still think that Denver with their experience will be enough to win the series for them. In crunch time, they will used their IQ and not sure how ANT can be in those crucial minutes of the game and I'm seeing him not able to response if they need to score big, in my opinion.

True that, if the game is tight, it does matter a lot. I've seen some games where OKC beat the Timberwolves, and I don't even see the young OKC would last in the playoffs. Well we know that they swept the Pelicans but that was because Zion was out due to injury, if he was playing the series will not end that fast. And OKC, they need to beat the Dallas first provided Dallas will finish the Clippers tomorrow, so I'm seeing that Jokic and his friend Luka will meet in the WCF.

It's a hard task for sure as Nuggets aside from being the defending they already established that good chemistries fro each other, they can do both side in terms of adjustments, we will see how things works for both semi-finalist.

In paper, you can really tell that the Wolves have a good line up, a big line up which could intimidate Jokic in the paint. Just imagine, if Jokic will rest, Wolves can rest their big man too, but since they have 2, they still have one inside and wolves strategy is probably attacking the paint when Jokic is resting.

Nuggets have to be shooting the ball well outside as the Wolves have the size over them, but let's see how the series will progress, I'm sure this one is going to be a long one. Also, I'm hoping KCP and Murray will be fully healthy once the series commence.

Good analysis. I’m racking my head on how will Nuggets will gonna beat Wolves with a very solid roster both defense and offense. Jokic is already having a problem even before to match up with KAT but right now with Gobert in the picture, It’s very hard to defend or penetrate Wolve defense just like what Jokic always do against team without a solid center.

ANT is also a big problem for them since he compensate with the speed of their big man because he is so fast and very hard to guard. I’m not how Nuggets can handle Wolves but I think their shooting accuracy is their only hope to beat this team since Jokic will have a lot on his plate on this matchup.

I think Jokic still has the advantage though on Gobert, but might be a bad stylistic match up for Towns as he can linger on the 3 point line to draw Jokic out and Towns can shoot that 3.

But I still think that Denver with their experience will be enough to win the series for them. In crunch time, they will used their IQ and not sure how ANT can be in those crucial minutes of the game and I'm seeing him not able to response if they need to score big, in my opinion.

We cannot deny that the Minny is really good, they swept the Pelicans so that says it all. However, we are talking here about the defending champion against a team that has been in the playoffs after missing few, and it's not even the WCF, so we just have to chill out here. I mean, we might be overestimated the Minny while have underestimated the Nuggets.

Homecourt here is very important, remember that Denver is a bad court to play due to its high altitude, I read this before and I think it could really impact how the players will perform since they are not used to it.

In this season, Denver is 2-1 vs Minny, so that's another information we need to consider.

I also thought that there could be a game 7 with the way the Sixers played last game specially Maxey. But it seems the Knicks adjusted, although the Sixers many times in this game make a comeback like the last time. But this though though, NYK didn't want a replay on what happen in their OT lost last time.

Seems that they got out of fuel after that comeback last game, and I agree with what you mentioned the adjustment to make sure that there's no way that Sixers will snatch another game and force this to do-or-die final game 7, Brunson and the gang hang on and manage to complete the series moving forward for the semis.

Quote

I like ANT's mentality though, but perhaps he is just psyching himself up against the Nuggets. He could be just looking for one motivation to put into his head and try to defeat the defending champ. But it's gonna be very hard to do that against the Nuggets as they are also very complete team.

It's been a long time since we've enjoyed watching the Knicks this much. At the beginning of the season, it was hard to imagine Brunson contributing like this. Julius Randle's injury affected them, but they made it through the first round. They have a serious chance against the Pacers as well. But in the East, the Celtics won't give up the final, no matter who they face. Knicks vs. Celtics would be an interesting Eastern Conference Final though.

The Knicks have really been performing impressively the last couple of seasons. If I'm not mistaken, the last time the Knicks performed as well as they do now was back in the distant 11-13 seasons, i.e. Melo's first season in a Knicks uniform. Let's see what they show in the second round of the playoffs, but it seems to me they'll have a hard time without Randle.

What do you mean? They are going into the second round now without Randle. But a few seasons ago, I still remember that they are one of the hottest teams with Randle really performing in his prime but was not able to get out of the first round. So yeah, probably the last time was with Melo and he was there watching the game.

Yes, Knicks vs Celtics will be wild, but we all know that the Celtics is a very good team, number in the East and they have proven it against the Heat.

But let's see how the Knicks and Pacers series turns out. Knicks could be the favorite.

Embiid is back, the momentum has already shifted on their favor, so I think I'm gonna take a break now and focus on the this very exciting game.

He is still doesn't look 100% in the game but as long as he play aggressively, the Sixers can get through this one. Embiid should not settle for his jumper, instead attac the paint and put Hartenstein in foul trouble, and anyone who is assigned to guard him. Defense is the key for this win and they have to be consistent until the end of the game. Good luck sixers and its bettors, they'll get this W.

They could've been eliminated in game 5 already if it didn't for Maxey hitting those clutch 3s. Then they stole that momentum in the overtime, but this time they did not escape elimination. I thought they could win this again and force a game 7, but Knicks refuse as they seems locked in and are on a mission. Same goes with the Pacers. This could be a pretty good match up, both are rising power house team in the East.
While on the other end, Nuggets and Minnesota are a pretty interesting match up too, this is a rematch by the way. Edwards was already talking though, he spoke about avenging Lebron in their series against the Nuggets. Well, let's see if they have the fire power to beat the Nuggets this time. I hope the Nuggets have recovered well as Murray, KCP, and Reggie Jackson were all hurt during the game 6 against the Lakers.

I also thought that there could be a game 7 with the way the Sixers played last game specially Maxey.

What a game! The Sixers lost the series finally in game 6. New York was the dictating the game but Philly always has an answer. The game was decided in the last 34 seconds as both teams are tied. Big night for Jalen Brunson and Joel Embiid. Embiid is not 100% healthy but Philly is still lucky because New York is playing without Randle and Bogdanovich.

It will be very interesting as New York is facing Pacers who's becoming a monster lately with the addition of Pascal Siakam. I'm still rooting for New York but they're probably the underdogs again in the series.

I still go with the Knicks in this series, they are mentally tough in my opinion and Jalen Brunson moving to New York is a great move. Randle is injured but you can see that they are still thriving without him. I wouldn't be surprised with the current success of this roster, Julius Randle might be in the trading block next season. And again the Pacers, with what they shown here, they could be the favorite. And it's going hard to predict the winner but I will go with the Knicks in 6 games. Just to bad for Sixers to match against the Knicks in the first round and Embiid not healthy.

New York is likely going to be the favorites in the series, they are the #2 seed after all. Pacers are young and their shooters have some off nights. If the Knicks can slow the pace of the game, they'll be able to handle the Pacers.

Damn! That's a classic heart-stopping game from the New York Knicks versus the Philadelphia 76ers.
It was so intense, the Knicks got an 8-point lead with 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter and I thought it was going away but then Kelly Oubre's heart for the game could not be stopped, and tried his best to bring the 76ers back. He did. They tied the game but Josh Hart's 3-pointer was the dagger that put another 3-point lead which is not easy to get back with just seconds remaining in the game.
It became a free-throw fest and both teams did well without any hint of tense.

The Knicks will advance and will be up against the Indiana Pacers who just won their game against the Bucks to also end the series. That will be fun, 2 fast-paced teams and mostly a small ball lineup play.

It's possible that Giannis and Dame are available for game 6 of this series. If not, I think the Pacers close the series out. If so, I think we see a game 7 and a nailbiter. I hope the Pacers pull it off.

No Giannis but Dame is there.

3rd quarter of the game already and it's 66 and 56 for the scores IND is leading.

Dame is doing it and got 19 points already for this quarter. It seems that IND is going to close this game, I'm smelling that it is where this game is going.

They are eliminated anyway, so this championship team exited in the first round, again?

How about the Knicks vs Sixers, not the scenario I like to see, Knicks started strong and lead as high as 21. Also, Embiid going to the locker room, something wrong with him, I think he needs to be tough in a game like this, he can't afford not coming back when his team is down.

This Philly vs NY game is going to come down to the last shot just like last game. Knicks started strong and Philly came back in 2nd quarter to take the lead, now it's been a back n forth battle. Hope the Knicks close it out, but we shall see.

That's it, the Bucks are also eliminated from the playoffs. Six players scored in double figures for the Pacers, while four did for the Bucks. Maybe there would have been a Game 7 if Giannis were there. The Clippers might face the same fate since Kawhi is also out for Game 6. However, they still have a better chance compared to the Bucks, since PG and Harden are there, as long as Harden doesn't choke and helps PG.
