Bucks vs Raptors/ Warriors vs Blazers. We do already able to see on which teams can go through the finals.

Bucks vs Raptors will be a good match, and though I bet on Bucks, but I don't like to expect it would be an easy series for the Bucks.

Warriors against Blazers - yes, we know already which team will win here. (warriors all the way)

The east sides would be really intense match up, they both have good players to step up each time their superstars are struggling, the coaches have
a good trust with the players and they can rotate with confidence from each man that they've allowed to play inside the floor.

With Blazers and Warriors, the matchup might interest the fans with how CJ and Damian's playing, we will see if they can compete against the Splash Bros.

If they would able to stop splash Bros or simply making some good defense then we wont know and they might able to steal to win the game and that CJ McCollum i would like to see
on how the do handle out Warriors defense when it comes to Paint side.

On the other side on the east, this would be more intense and i cant wait up for their match on May 15th.

The other bracket, well let them have a clash as well but Bucks and Raptors is like more attractive to the fans now and its getting more attention than the other side or is it just me that's thinking like that.

It's just you I guess. hehe.

Bucks are still the favorite team between the two, but the performance of Leonard is what we called a performance of a real start.
He is been consistent in the playoffs so far, and that game 7 against the sixers is something that we will always remember.

Also, Embiid did cry, so you can tell they all put their passion in the game. A trash talker with an emotional heart.

Btw, can Durant be able to play in the WCF?

No update yet, you can check his status here https://www.rotoworld.com/basketball/nba/player/29277/kevin-durant

I just found out that Durant wont be able to play in game 1 for the WCF. Thanks for the link anyway.
So, this brings the original GSW roster who made the best record in the NBA season. I think with Durant's absence, this would only make the season more exciting to watch, as Steph and co will have the chance to prove that they could still win championships without Durant.

This will be tough for both teams. It is hard to predict and analyze if we haven't saw a glimpse of their performance against each other.

Bucks can dominate if they can stop Leonard, in game 7 against the sixers, Leonard scored 41 points, bucks needs to limit that scoring.
I would like to see the first game before making a judgement.

Based on the stats given by the NBA , for the current season bucks is on the top of the list when it comes to defensive end therefore it wouldn't be too hard for them to make Leonard's life horrible.

Blazers played a team game, not a one man game like the rockets style.
Being an underdog in the series will give them more motivation, let's see how Lillard will play against the great of warriors.
I also believe the usual big time players of Blazers will step up more, CJ, Rodney, and Kanter.

Blazers indeed plays a team game, but the warriors also do aren't they? If I would try to imagine all the big time players of Blazers stepping up and the same thing also goes to GSW (The power house still is so scary). Durant and Curry can easily dominate the scoring if they fired up what can the Blazers exactly do?

I think this year is too good for Bucks, They've been constantly dominating their opponents for this season. Raptors tho is having some issues with regards to their players I am currently seeing Bucks will also dominates the East conference finals,.

On the other hand GSW is still the power house here, let's see how would Blazers do to defeat the power house team.

Lowry inconsistent and he has a finger injury if I'm not mistaken.

Bad for the Raptors fans if this injury is serious, look at curry performance when he got injured similar to Lowry, his shooting percentage dropped.
Hopefully he is alright to play as they really need to play harder this time to beat a more complete and healthy Bucks.

Some analyst says that it is the first buzzer beater in game 7. But I will assume that your first will be Jordan's historic shot against Jazz in 1998 NBA finals?

Yes it is. MJ's shot from near the Free throw line. Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not that good in the history of the NBA

.

P.S. Just did a quick research and it says that is the ONLY game 7 buzzer beater in NBA history. Me wrong Grin

Quote from: Yaunfitda on May 13, 2019, 11:25:45 PM

Same here, I seeing Bucks in game 7. GSW to win in 5 games against Portland.

I don't think it will be only 5 games in the West. Take note that Durant will not play in the first games of the series because of his calf injury against the rockets. My opinion will be 6-7 games but will go to the GSW. It will be 5 games only if the Warriors can win one game on the road.

Buck vs Raptors will be very interesting match, I'll give the edge to Bucks because of Giannis and there bench are also playing very well. Siakam during their last game was very shy on taking big shots. While Middleton, Bledsoe, George Hill, Lopez are playing very well. Lowry inconsistent and he has a finger injury if I'm not mistaken.

Double team or tough defender would really be needed for Kawhi and Bucks will surely restrain him but lets see on what would be their plans and the game 7th between Raptors and Sixers are too close.

I'm expecting for Giannis to defend Kawhi as they have Lopez that can guard the paint. They are both athletic and have long wingspan.

Good point. They are both athletic and can match up very well against each other. But obviously, Giannis has the advantage here, height, reach and that explosion. But Kawhi has the mid range shot and can create shots for this team.

When I'm watching the last seconds of the Game 7 of Raptors and Sixers, everybody was silent in my environment but when the shot goes it I shouted Cheesy

. That is really a rare moment in NBA. That is the second close out game 7 buzzer beater and that will be put in the books in the future.

In the east, I'd go with Bucks in 6-7 and in the West I don't want to see the Warriors win against the Blazers in 5 games so I think this will go to a Game 7 too. Cheesy

Now it is the time to savor a derby of two upcoming talents that are going to compete for the best player in the world, Leonard and Antetokounmpo.
I think that Giannis is going to prove that he is the next player that will take LeBron's place. I will bet for a 3-1 for Bucks winning the series.

I will also go with Milwaukee for this series and the reason for that is pretty obvious. Toronto needed 7 matches to win against Philadelphia and they also needed a buzzer beater from Leonard to win the series so they struggled a lot against a team that didn't even played very good. It should be an easy mission for Milwaukee just like it will be for the Warriors.

Raptors needed seven games because the 76ers are a tough team. Let's not talk as if their team is shit and as if Bucks would only need four games to wipe them out in a seven-game series.

@milewilda. Agreed. The 2 teams in their respective divisions and conferences will be in the finals. However, what should the Raptors do to win the eastern conference? I reckon they have a balanced team that might be good enough to play versus the Warriors, if they are lucky enough to win versus the Bucks hehe.

Leonard had to work really hard for his team to past the Sixers, but if Embiid is fully healthy, they could could have beat the Raptors IMO.
Only Leonard is consistently playing in the team, so we need to put a real defender on him, maybe double him.

On the other hand, Bucks players are better, the way they played against the Celtics proves how good they are and I'm seeing them beating the Raptors here, and they also gained the home court advantage so even if this game go into distance, game 7 will be played at their home where they are hard to beat.

If it wasnt on that last shot which bounce up 2-3x before it goes into the bucket as far as i remember but well anything do have some corresponding mix of luck on that one. lol
