From the looks of it the conference finals will probably be Celtics versus Miami which I assume Celtics will get to there very easily, Miami somehow beat Bucks but that was unexpected, I do not see them doing it all over again. West side is a bit different, Clippers will definitely go to conference finals but I am not sure about Lakers Houston series, hopefully Lakers will go on because of what I will talk about.
If it is Celtics versus Miami, I see Celtics going to finals once again, god knows how many times in their history they have done that, after that we talk about Lakers versus Clippers, if somehow Lakers could handle a series against Clippers and manage to beat them as well, that would mean another Lakers versus Celtics finals, something I really love to watch because it has such a huge history. Celtics will probably get there but I am not sure about Lakers at all, clippers looks like has a better chance.

He is questionable in game 5 as per the latest update, so I don't expect the Bucks would win.
I'm picking the Miami Heat here to win, if he will come back, it doesn't change a lot, if you are a better, you would take Miami now as when Giannis is ruled out, the -3 points for Miami might increase.
It must be tough for Milwaukee Bucks, right now. I never once thought that this would happen to 'em considering their dominance during regular season. Playoffs were indeed, an intense game. I'm still rooting for them although their odds on winning this series is kind of low, and on top of that, it was only a single team who manage to win a series having a 3-1 score deficit, right?

. The series will surely be different if they weren't playing in the bubble. Home advantage was stripped from the top teams which is a HUGE factor. By making it a neutral site it leveled the playing field. This is the year surprise teams can end up winning the whole thing. Tough break for Buck fans as they waited years to have a team this good only to watch it squander away.

. What you are saying when you said that "a single team who manage to win a series having a 3-1 score deficit" is within the first 3 games, the score is already 2-1. There are many teams who won already when that is the scenario but when the first 3 games came out to be a 3-0, no one manage to win the series.
I'm not expecting for the Bucks to win in this series anymore. Giannis isn't 100% healthy, they also won with a close margin in Game 4. They are having a hard time dealing with the Heat. I didn't expect though that the Heat will be this strong and I expected that this series will be a 6 or 7-game series but that doesn't the case. Heat will win in Game 5 and if they don't manage to win on this game, the momentum will surely shift to the Bucks.

Back to back win for him and back to back exit in the playoffs, last time in the ECF, this time could be in the 2nd round.

. I think that was the Warriors against the OKC, but not team has ever came back from 0-3 deficit and they were at that record before their last win.

. Just as I'm wishing, Bucks won but Giannis is in pain. I guess as a fan, has to give up for the hope of the next game.
Health is a better priority than the next game.

I am also a fan of Giannis and it is really disappointing how this series turned out.
We're holding on a thread and I don't know how will they turn this series upside down. There is a low possibility that they could win this series and I don't know if Giannis would be in the next game. Bam and Jimmy told the press that Miami Heat is not having a great game at that fourth series saying that even without Giannis, they can't win.
But as a fan, we have high hopes on it and there's always the acceptance ready if they won't go through on it because the series is being led by the Heat.
We will see tomorrow if the series ends or continue.
@boyptc Giannis is working really hard to make himself available for tomorrow’s game, and the coach too hasn’t ruled him out yet, hence there’s a slim chance that he may able to participate in tomorrow’s game. Furthermore while the situation looks bleak for Bucks, but if they play with the same attitude they showed in the fourth game then they can definitely turn the situation around, hence let’s hope that they’ll give their best shot in tomorrow’s game.

Guys, the game between the Raptors and Celtics is one of the competitive games that you ever imagine in the playoffs. it's just getting better each game and they compete with each other like there's no tomorrow the result it's shown by the end of the game today.
What do you think guys? will it reach game 7 or the Raptors back to back championships dream will be over in the next game?
I'd like to see a game 7 for this series but I think the Celtics could close this out in game 6. Raptors had a lot attempts earlier but they're missing most of their shots. What do you think guys? will it reach game 7 or the Raptors back to back championships dream will be over in the next game?
In game 4 it was very close until the Raptors pulled away in the start of the second half then held it until the end. I expect the Raptors to go all out on Wednesday but it might not be enough to push the series to a game 7 when the Celtics are mostly hitting their shots while having less attempts than them.

Almost time for a third Clippers - Nuggets match. After Nuggets managed to win in 2nd I'm sure this one will go to Clippers and that they are gonna sweep 4-1 from here. Maybe max 4-2. Clippers are the most adaptable team in NBA and I believe Nuggets have only one game tops left in their hands.
Well, no one came this far to let go easily. The come back from LAC was so interesting! DEN line has the best contenders in the league, with all the 3pm by Nikola...etc This round would definitely be enjoyable.
Hopefully this would go game 7, Nuggets had a good lead in the 4th quarter but Clippers just too good to come back and win the game. Last game, Kawhi struggled but this game he came back and thanks to PG as well for having a good night.
Congrats to the Clippers, they are leading the series now, 2-1.
Also, Celtics break their losing skid, they are in command now, 3-2 after a dominating win against the Raps.

.....What do you think guys? will it reach game 7 or the Raptors back to back championships dream will be over in the next game?
It may reach game 7 since neither team is backing out. Celtics won convincingly in game 5 thanks to their great start but we can't use that to predict they'll win again in game 6. Good attitude shown by the Raps even though they're down by 20+ points......
Clips managed to pull ahead in the last minute. This is another series that could go six or seven games. I think Clippers will take this but I would be okay if Nuggets wins. They're that good too and they're still a young team.

I disagree. I rhink this goes a minimum of 6 games probably 7. The nuggets are much better than people give them credit for. They are good from 1-8, so when they go to their bench they don't drop off. I predict the nuggets win this series and upset the clippers. We'll see, either way I hope its not a boring series.
That was a lucky win by the Bucks, but they will not be lucky in the next game as Giannis might probably be out and I know Heat now are already designing a play for a Giannis less Bucks and they will abuse the bucks in game 5. I'm expecting a blowout win as they end the series.
That last game was like a do or die for the Bucks as they don't want to get swept before getting eliminated and just like some of the series we've seen from the previous round whenever a team is just one win away from moving to the next round all of a sudden their opponents play like it's their last. Others still believe in the Bucks but even if Giannis plays his play time will be limited. I wouldn't say it's a blowout for Miami because who knows if Middleton drops 30+ points again but they should easily close this series out.

Giannis leaving the game early gave other players the spark to soar higher... The likes of Brook, Khris, Eric had better stats which lead them to OT and the win. The pressure on Giannis had he remained on the court would have the Heat gain a second sweep in the playoffs.
Luckily they've avoided this to happened, those mentioned names really step up and extend the series. Giannis needs the rest.
Bucks needs to think about the future of this young star, if he will force his injury then lose along the way, the franchise will suffer in the
long run, resting him now and look for future plans to build a much stronger squad which much better if they are really aiming for the
title.

I do not care if Giannis is better, they should not play him at all. Think about it, they are going to have to resign Giannis this year and they are 3-1 losing right now, making him play through injury could mean he could hurt himself more, and even without injury he had to leave the court which means it is not nothing, even if a small thing it is something and they are going to end up losing anyway, no team has managed to come from 3-0 down to win a series, and Bucks do not have what it takes to be the first one neither.
So, sitting down Giannis whatever the result is a good idea. Obviously they still have to figure a lot of stuff out, why did they look so awesome but ended up losing to Miami is a big question, they should have been sweeping them when you look at the regular season situation.

Not like what happened to Durant, I hope.
Let the role players do their job.
They can play harder. It is just because Giannis is there they are pulling back their skills. We saw it, they can win it.
Middleton posed like he is a real All-Star. That should have been happening from the start and not just now.
I might bet for the Bucks without Giannis next game. I want to cheer for the Bucks roleplayers.
I agree on the point about playing into their roles but i cant really blame off when other on the team would really have that kind of boost up when they do know
that they've been playing with their star player compared on having none but that game proves out that they can handle out situation even if their main player is out
of the court.This can really show-off their true performance and trying to push up their own roles.
