So anything can happen still, CJ and Lillard are two of the hottest shooting guards right now.

Blazers can win or course, but their chance is very low based on the betting odds for the series.
The line is now available at sportsbets. (warriors x1.15 vs Blazers x5)

This is an automatic win for the GSW, lines is obvious.

Oh is that the odds? Damn those bookies doesn't give the Portland Trailblazers any chances. Lol, I think those odd makers really think that the biggest opponent for GSW is Houston, but since they have been eliminated, Blazers will be an easy opponent for the Warriors this time that's why the chance for a Portland win is very low.

I watched the nuggets vs blazers matchup and it was super interesting. First nuggets were going for a blow out and they were like 36-19 if I am not wrong and the game looked like it was done. Both teams sucked on three pointers and nobody really scored really well. Then CJ Mccollum took the stage and literally willed the entire team into the game, he made so many weird shots that I was literally thinking this would be what Kobe do if he was playing a game seven, that is not a light compliment, playing like Kobe is a big deal.

There was a moment in the last minutes where Nuggets could have come back but they failed to score and acted too quickly so they failed, however considering how much they improved in the last 3 years I am sure Nuggets will be a beast for a lot longer. Blazers finally got to Wester conference finals, they were always a good team but always failed on playoffs, they deserve this happiness. I hope they will beat warriors too but I doubt that could be possible.

The matchups are actually good for the semi finals. I also would've preferred the sixers to go against the bucks but hey, after watching the game, kawhi deserves to hit that game winner and take his raptors to the ec finals. The west is pretty much done for and i don't see sny way the blazers will defeat the warriors but i'll be rooting for the eastern champs this finals, whether it's the bucks or the raptors.

Yes, I will go Bucks as the first choice or the Raptors instead to win the Finals.
Gianis as a young champion or Kawhi suddenly going back to win a championship and again might get that Finals MVP.
That will say everything that there is no power team anymore.

It would be a team effort to stop or control the Greek Freak from dominating the paint. I do not see Gasol alone stopping Giannis' drives toward the basket. Gasol is a top notch defender but Giannis offensive power is on a diffirent level. On the other hand, Kawhi is one of the best two way player on NBA right now. No doubt he can match Giannis on offensive output and he can be a great help to Gasol on the defense. This is a great match and will test the leadership of both since how the role players response to their leadership will most probably dictate the outcome of the series.

Gasol aint that sharp anymore, he is still good with his offense though. It might pull out the Greek Freak out in the paint for other players of the Raptors to penetrate and avoid a blocked shot.
On the other hand, Siakam might be the one who will defend him and rotation could be Kawhi as next. Siakam with his long arms and might have a larger chance to stop Gianis before he can even go to the paint.

It will be a different Eastern playoffs, it will be hard to predict it and whom to put our bets.

This is an exciting series, 2 superstar Battle for the NBA finals title, Leonard have the edge over Ginannis in terms of experience, but I'll go with the Bucks.

You can't say for sure. Of course warriors are the favourites but with Lillard and CJ McCollum anything can happen. They can turn around series at any point. Don't go with the odds NBA is really sometimes out of prediction and likes.

Sorry for that, I'm just too bias.

NBA lines are created by smart odds makers so I don't think they will give us the x5 odds for the Blazers if they don't see
the warriors winning in this series. My judgement is just based on my long experience in gambling and that's what I notice.

if the Blazers will win here, I will call it a major upset.

I literally cried too when I saw that shot from Leonard. Damn it.
I cried more when I saw Embiid crying, I just cant stop it.
That man worked hard for it, even with all the sickness he still tried to play just for that shot in the Eastern Conference Finals.

It is okay though, they are still young.

And then, Denver lose. Back to crying. Cry

2 of my bets lose their game but they gave them a great fight. That means something for NBA management too. This players are not just for salaries now. They are aiming higher, which is good.
Now there will be no power team, they are all balance and they can win anytime.

I just hate it when Denver is forcing that 3's. They know they are that good at it so why force it. They are good in defense and when offense they score at the paint. That 3rd and 4th quarter was really bad plays for them except for the last ones when Jokic and Murray are going for the paint.

Damn sad right now.

I don't think that Durant will play. They wouldn't risk it unless they went down 0-2. He need to take care of that injury first.

I think the coaching staff will use this opportunity to rest Durant as the Blazers is not that powerhouse like the Rockets. The series between the Warriors and Blazers maybe a preview on how the Warriors' roster will look like next season, no KD no problem.

Well they shouldn't underestimate Blazers though, remember we said that they won't past the first round since Nurkic got injured. But look at how they performed, they are now in the WCF.

So anything can happen still, CJ and Lillard are two of the hottest shooting guards right now. If the coaching staff will rest then good for Durant, but if they see the they are having a difficult time against the Blazers, then they might force it, just saying.

Indeed it was a lucky shot on the part of Leonard, but it went it and Toronto goes to the ECF.

Anyone noticed thought that Leonard did take money shots? He is not a ball hugger but it seems everyone in the team is afraid to take the shot? Siakam for once, has been gone shy in this game, he average like more than 20 points per game in this series but somewhat tentative.

Honestly that clutch shot is short. It's just that it bounced about 3-4 times that results in a bucket. Great effort by both team. The game was close and good overall.

That was a lucky shot, but Leonard deserve that luck as he made 41 points tonight that's, 44.5% of the total score. (full game)

Warriors playing great without KD and they are still the favorites to win the series, so KD is not needed.
Their toughest opponent in the west is only the Rockets, and they have already beat them in 6 games, so I have no doubt they can also end the series early.

What I'm interested to kno is on how their parents will cheer since Steph and Seth are rivals, their parents has been very supportive even since.

It would be the same feeling if you are the parents of the Gasol brothers

. Wonder on the status of Pau Gasol come this ECF, i like to see him play against his younger brother also.

Gasol = battle in the middle
Curry = battle on the 3's Grin

Older Gasol is out of this season after the surgery while the two Curry's are both healthy and will showcast what's Dad taught them, Seth is also making his own name inside this league and it's the perfect timing for him to be noticed while playing against his very supportive older bro., what kind of competitions will be showcast, I like Seth to bring everything and challenge Steph.

Game 7 between Portland Trail Blazers and Denver Nuggets game time is so early here in our country but decided to wait for the game. Nuggets are in-control of the game throughout the early phase and able to pinned down Blazers into a double lead which leads me to think that this game will be Nuggets game so I decided to sleep now and not wait for the result since Im sleepy. And then I woke up now, browsing social medias feeds and saw some news about Kanter roasting the Nuggets. Oh my, they won and they advanced to the Conference Finals. Didn't know where's the turning point so need to watched the replay.

And going to the East, what a great shot made by Kawhi Leonard to sealed up the series against the Philadelphia 76ers. Honestly that clutch shot is short. It's just that it bounced about 3-4 times that results in a bucket. Great effort by both team. The game was close and good overall.

I didn't notice that, maybe because Pau is injured and not active in the playoffs.
There is a difference with their parents as Curry's Parents always show up in the venue, while Gasol's parents does not, at least I don't see them getting flash on TV.
