Toronto Raptors is known for choking in the playoffs or some people say, that's because of LeBron. Now with Kawhi Leonard on their lineup, Im expecting a different Raptors on the upcoming playoffs.

I'm afraid they will still choke, the way they play in their last game against the Rockets makes me think that this team is not yet ripe as I am expecting.
The East is more competitive now but I guess the Celtics still has the chance to take the Eastern championship.

I hope the line for playoffs future is already out so I can start betting with great odds.

Anyway, the Eastern Conference are finally exciting, competitive and unpredictable to watch. I'll be betting with the Raps, Bucks, and Celts.

Boston Celtics, we witnessed how great they are during their playoffs run even without Kyrie Irving on their lineup. Almost outplayed the Philadelphia 76ers and sruvived the sudden death against the Milwaukee Bucks. Now with Kyrie, let's see if that's really an advantage to them.

Milwaukee Bucks, their improvement is greatly seen this season. And honestly, this team is underrated prior to season opening. They suffered a sudden death match loss against the Boston Celtics last playoffs and Im sure they will not allow to happened it again this time.

#Lakers out.

New face, New teams.

All playoffs contenders today does have a healthy lineup. Hope that status will lasts until their team's elimination.

Lakers' young core are hungry for the playoffs, too bad they missed another one. Lets see what will happen next year, hope young talents still intact.

After the historic 8th consecutive finals appearance by LeBron James, the streak will now be ended although it was already expected. What people didn't expect is his absence in playoffs appearance. Technically Lakers still have chance but in reality, let's closed the door now for them.

The Lakers young core need to wait again next year for them to experienced the playoffs environments. Hope what happened this season will be their lesson on their next run.

Not a hater but they do make their chances getting slimmer ~snip~

According to basketball-reference playoff probability charts Lakers now have 0.1% chance of making the playoffs. They should totally forget about it and focus on something else like losing games on purpose as they are not that far away from 7-8th worst team records. As yall know draft odds are significantly adjusted this year, which mean they can get a higher draft pick. Who knows maybe it helps them land AD.

Ok, so statistics wise they won't make it and Lebron's record is broken. I'm sure that after this one, there will be a lot of pointing fingers. I have seen Youtube videos claiming it's Lebron's fault and then Magic Johnson because he is not talking to the players and then the coach. Lol.

So let's see how it goes for them next year, I'm sure there will be a lot of chances in the roster and maybe we can see a new coach. Grin

I wouldn't trust those statistics because they never consider a team who changed players from various teams. Let's just see what would happen to them, I'm sure there is some secret conversation here that even social media won't know. I trust the capability of Lebron James when handling a game I hope he's coach will consider that.

Golden State Warriors apparently just giving the teams in NBA a look at what could possibly be their dreams for a little while but I have noooo doubt that they will gear up in playoffs and destroy anyone on their path, these regular season games are a bit boring for them considering they already made the playoffs with ease and they do not have to work too hard, they will have to work hard on playoffs anyway so they are basically actively resting.

I just can't wait until the summer comes because I feel like Lakers will have one of the most heated and fired up summers in all of recent memory, Magic and GM could get fired, Luke could get fired, hell maybe even Lebron could be traded if they seem fit but I doubt that will ever happen. It is going to be one hell of a summer.

Its just a game and anything can really happen which not all situations will favor you and just like what we are seeing on Lebrons situation.Even how good or talented you are but your team isnt
effective no matter how hard you try to carry then it would still end up to be hopeless and he's really aware on their current standing and his motivation might be affected as well and just let this year
to pass and would plan to have a comeback on next years season.

This season is very important for Lebron James because he is consistent in entering the playoffs and even in the NBA finals.
For the Lakers maybe not because they are still in rebuilding stage and it's not an assurance that if they have Lebron they will be in the playoffs.
Compared to last season, they have good improvement this season so far but the fans has a big expectation on Lebron and the Lakers because he is a great player.

For a player like Lebron calibre then we would really always expect that the team he would carry would able to reach playoffs or even on finals but look at their current standing?
Not a hater but they do make their chances getting slimmer as they lost each game they do face and we cant do anything about it if they wont able to make it through the playoffs.

Lol. Have you seen how james has been playing the past games? Damn. Yeah they very likely won't make the playoffs this year but dude, at least be professional enough to still put in effort each game. This season has really put a smear in james' legacy. I think the anthony davis drama and the lakers' management's willingness to put everyone on the trading block took a lot away from the team. Magic is as much to blame here.

It could be Magic is to blame here. But then again, the drama is over, they didn't get AD this season, however as you have said, it did take a lot on the young players, specially their mentality that's why it looks like they have a hard time winning and closing games after that. Also Lonzo Ball got injured, right?

But I think its not just Magic but the whole Lakers organization. After the regular season then it's going back to the drawing board again for the Lakers and understand where it went wrong this season after acquiring Lebron James.

Boston Celtics ate GSW. Grin

Look at them without Klay Thompson waiting at the three point line. The floor looks so narrow and there is no space to drive to the paint.
He is really a big loss for this GSW team.
Add the defensive awareness of that guy which is high caliber too.

Well, Boston is also a defensive team so it will be an easy thing to do without one more shooter in GSW. Their defense will just be focused on Curry and Durant. Easy win.

Thompson really have a big impact without him around the defense is not the same as the team always have,plus the capabilities to score outside and inside he's been an additional threat to any teams that they've compete with, not so sure but maybe the team is not focusing well and just accepting those loses without any pride.

I'm trying to be positive about him but it's just him being an individual and that emotion would be hidden if ever someone interviews him on what he feels that he's not able to reach the playoffs for this year's season.

But being a professional player, I'm guessing that he's planning about the goal for the next season. Since catching up for this season isn't enough and it's more of a failure because he almost missed a lot of games with Lakers.

He don't miss a lot o games and, when he came back, he still have a lot of games to win but they are losing more on the games they played so far.

This 3 losing streak is not a characteristic of Lebron, we used to see him winning and dominating teams, but he is not getting it with his new team. Also, he has a lot of miss shots in their previous game, seems like he is downgrading as a superstar in the league.

The Raptors came back in the 3rd only to loss in the 4th and this ended in a double digit loss for the home team.
Harden is still on his MVP level, though in early foul trouble but he explode in the 4th, he is very consistent in his 3 point shooting, his style of step up and side sweet before shooting is very effective, it's impossible to guard him that way.

Disappointing loss for the home team with such a good record there. A shame but this is how it is so near to the end of the regular season. The best ones are going into playoff mode to show what they are made of towards the top teams in their conference.

Very disappointing, Leonard was off tonight, the consistency was not there.
The rally in the 3rd makes me think that they are a good team but going in the 4th, they were not able to sustain the intensity.
Harden had a bad start but ended up 35 points tonight, I guess no doubt he is the real MVP now.

3 losing streak for the Lakers, at home still they cannot win.
Lebron is not as explosive as before, though he can still score good figures but he cannot take his team to win.
Every game is a must win for them but once again they wasted that opportunity.

I can't say that they have wasted that opportunity but the one that caught my attention is the posts on social medias. It's like they have been already judged that they are not going to play on the playoffs.

Chances of being there is low and others have concluded that they aren't going to join the playoffs. They still have some remaining games and they have majority of it, unless it's decided this kind of issue won't affect him as a player but probably his mates will.

We cant say that he wont be affected because every player do have that goal on reaching playoffs and would able to play into the finals even how many times
do Lebron done this thing we dont know if he do craves for more but with his current team performance/stats we can already barely presume that they wont able to make it to that spot.
Getting pissed or dismayed would be a normal reaction.
