After Kawhi left in the East I thought it's will be easier for Bucks to totally reign in the East seems that Miami will be a great match up from them. Miami have a great roster this season and Jimmy do a great job. They totally lockdown Giannis I think it's their #1 priority but will see it in the playoffs if Miami can still stop Giannis and the Bucks

In that game, not only Giannis is having a hard time but the other core players as well. We also have to take note that the majority of Bucks field goals attempt were not contested meaning they are literally having a bad night. A total lockdown to Giannis might be effective but not always the key to slow down the Bucks.

But kudos to Miami Heat for giving Bucks a hard time on that game. That bad night's performance by the Bucks is because of Heat's impressive performance on that game. They destroyed the rhythm of the Bucks offense. They are now 2-0 against the Bucks this season which is a good thing to see as we want to see a close competition in the Eastern Conference playoffs and not just the usual favorites Bucks, Celtics or Raptors.
After beating again the Bucks there's no question anymore that this team is really performing, forming a young solid cores and making it possible to deliver. This showed that there's always a good place for Miami coming into the next round, they just need to continue improving and create new set up plays for the entire team.

 Honestly I think there is not that much of a difference between bucks losing to heat and rockets losing to knicks in the sense that any team could lose to any team, it is after all ANY team can lose to ANY team. Bucks should be beating heat if they are such a great team at the first seed of the east conference and miami is an unexpected high ranked team compared to some other east teams that was expected to do better. On the other hand westbrook or harden doesn't matter because rockets should destroy knicks and beat them by 30+ points easily so if westbrook or harden takes the last shot to win that game, it is already bad for them.

Though he have that instinct and he can also deliver but Harden for me is much better in that kind of clutch.
I agree with you on this, however, we can't blame westbrook because he is now given the license to lead the team, if we look at his stats, there is a big improvement now compared when he was still starting with the Rockets and the management find it very effective so they stick with the game plan.

The rockets we are talking about just lost to Knicks and even tho we can say that any team could lose to any team, even Lakers or Bucks that are at the top has lost before (bucks lost to Miami yesterday) which means that loss to Knicks by rockets doesn't mean anything normally.
you can't compare the lost of the bucks to the heat against the lose of the Rockets as Heat and Bucks are playoff team while the Knicks is not, in fact Knicks is only rank number 13 with 19-42 win loss record while the heat ranks number 4 with 39-22 win loss record.
Which is right, Bucks and Heat can be a final contenders while Knicks is not, Rockets have the good chance to win the game if Westbrook passed the ball to Harden and let the guy to take the last shot. Though he have that instinct and he can also deliver but Harden for me is much better in that kind of clutch.

However, they were outrebounded by +30 and that does say something, Knicks is not a huge big team and they are really not all that well rebounding normally, which means Rockets sometimes do play well and get boards and stop others inside however sometimes they are like this. The question is, will rockets be alright when playoffs comes, eventually they will play a lot of big teams and they can't afford +30 rebounding difference.

The Raptors also did a great job against Giannis, he was not effective in the first half of their game but Raptors were not playing a complete squad that time, if they had Gasol, they could have won that game, Heat were in full squad so they were able to stop Giannis.
They know how to stop the Bucks as they are the one who stopped the bucks in last year's playoffs.
Raptors are not even expected to perform like this as people thought it's Leonard team but it's not, it was the coaching staff that was good so Raps will still be in playoffs with a good spot now.

Miami Heat figure out how to beat the Bucks, this seems like very interesting as I usually bet on an underdog team and I hope Bucks would not be another disappointment again in the playoffs, I thought they have an easy journey in the East but there's Miami Heat who could stop their man Giannis.
They do, and I read somewhere that Miami is already 2-0 against the Bucks this season, and that's a good news for Heat backers that they can defeat the most overrated team in the NBA, no offense for the Bucks fans, but that's how I see it.

Butler this season is surrounded by a team players and though his record is not so impressive compared to his past teams, we can see here that the whole Miami team is getting better, and they also have a Rokie which are performing well, so as a team, I would also go with the Heat.

In spite on below ranking in terms of numbers/stats compared to Bucks, we have seen on how they did isolate Giannis but we dont know if they can do such thing when playoff comes
and talking about their performance i do agree that they do really show impressive games compared on last year.

There are teams that can be somewhat a "kryptonite", so we see the Miami is, - has the tools and the talent to beat Giannis and the Bucks. Are the Bucks though still on track for the 70 win milestone this season? Haven't check the stats and their chances since they have lost to Miami.

NBA games are very unpredictable now, Rockets which are playing a pretty impressive games lose against the Knicks which is a bad team.

I can't believe it, they are beating good teams but they lose in a bad team, was it due to a fatigue or something? I notice Harden was too reliant in his 3 point shooting but he has a poor percentage made in this game.
This happens usually.

We tend to believe that a team is superior than the other one but at the end sometimes unexpected things happen. So whenever you're betting with games like this, always think about of all possibility and outside the box that situations like this might come.

Or in short, bet against the public, in gambling terms that is very effective and the game between the Rockets and Knicks, the money was on the Rockets since they have been winning with huge margin in weaker teams. This site - https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba/public-betting is useful to know which team is a public bet.
I will also take it with a grain of salt.

Sometimes that strategy works but sometimes it's not. It works for others but it may not work for you and for me. Thanks for sharing that link, I'll go over it.

The Rockets are talented enough to play a small ball and still competitive that can beat any teams in the regular season. But playoffs has a different atmosphere. I have a strong feeling the Rockets will struggle to win a 7 game series if they face a team with a dominant big man like AD, Jokic, or Gobert.
Rockets' best defense is good offense. I mean, if they can consistently score with a high percentage fg. It wouldn't be hard for them to win a series.

As you said, playoffs have a different atmosphere, therefore, Rockets will be a different team too, which is expected. This team is used to be in the playoffs, including their players so the adjustment should not be that hard even they will play small for the first time.

Not rooting for the Rockets but I think whoever team they will face on the playoffs, they shouldn't take the small roster of Rockets as a disadvantage to this team. Rockets already played 15 games without Capela and Tucker act as their Center and they managed to win 11 games out of that. A good preparation and strategy test for the upcoming playoffs.
