Why is anyone not talking about Celtics winning against Milwaukee in game 1?

Because Milwaukee loss in game 1? LOL.
We have a lot of Bucks fans here, including me of course, and I'm surprise with a huge upset in game 1.

I can't say it's actually an upset bro. These two teams are quite evenly matched and the bucks aren't the clear favorites esecially with playoff experience going for the celtics. Though i can see that it doesn't really affect giannis and the young bucks, i'm leaning a little bit for a celtics win, probably 4-2. Without lebron in the picture, we're finally going to see a raptors vs celtics in the east finals lol.

Of course, 4th seed winning against the 1st seed is an upset. But the series is too far, inexperienced shows on the Bucks as Boston took it all the way and Milwaukee can't recovered.

Houston and GSW is also a good game. It was very close in the dying seconds, but GSW had good lead and Curry hits a three to seal the game for them. I don't know why James Harden is complaining, GSW is playing good defense on him specially his three and not committing fouls. He is somewhat extending his feet to get a contact but the referee is smart enough not to call a foul.

Why is anyone not talking about Celtics winning against Milwaukee in game 1? And Warriors defeating Houston 104-100. I try to watch the game live here, but unfortunately it was like 3 am - 4 am so I just see the first quarter of that game and it was a tough match. Both sides are missing a lot of shots and so I'm not quite surprised that the score is that close. Reading the post game interview, James Harden complaining about the non call.  Grin

It's gonna be a tough competitions between this two super teams, Harden vs KD and CP3 vs Curry, a great super combinations that will surely excite the fans, Mind games between two coaches will be expected another game 7 series for me.
If KD will fire up just like what he's doing on Clippers series and Klay also firing up, I guess the ending will be the same as what we saw from last season. But damn I just can't imagine how strong Harden this season. Yes his usage rate is so high, that could make him not the MVP for this season.
Not would an easy road for them to close down the game easily. Harden with CP3 i don't think they would just let it happen.This clash do really excites me well too.

Kawhi Leonard is a machine in this game, he was activated for the playoffs, they have a chance to win in the East.
All I can say that Leonard never changes his performance, he is always like this.

Good addition of him for the Raptors, wanting to see more from him to the upper bracket.

Somehow we should still congratulate the Spurs for giving us great entertainment.
They are the 7th seed and yet have given a good fight against Denver which is number 2.
Michael Malone is right. They worked hard for taking that spot at number 2 and they need to show it which they did.

Jokic is a monster playing 12 minutes of alternate quarters. Almost everyone in Denver contributes for them to win the 1st round of the playoffs.

Pops is still a monster with plays, no doubt about that.

I can't believe spurs didn't foul at the end there, I mean there was just 4 point difference and if they fouled there the worst would be around 15-20 seconds left with 3 point difference (if spurs fouled and nuggets made both and spurs made a three) and that would have been the challenge I mean if you steal or even foul you are basically back in the game.

Anyway it was probably already gone but seeing spurs not even try to win didn't really look that good, team is basically tired already, even though they have a "deep" bench (they really don't but they still play everyone anyway because its spurs) this playoff series was on Texas plains and Denver mountains so going up and down really tired the players out so much it was literally visible from their faces, its not easy to play on super high places with harder to breath and than play on Texas plains back on earth.

On the other hand, the Raptors won against the Sixers. Well played on their home.
Credit Toronto Raptors for putting clamp on their top players, Joel, Simmons and Harris. Ibaka gave Joel hard time and played him physical and use his speed to score lay ups in fast break. While Leonard took the offensive load for the team. Overall, it was a good team effort, making Sixers very uncomfortable.

Congratulations to the Denver Nuggets for winning the game 7 at home, that was a tough fight but they were successful.
The 2nd round they will be facing the Blazers, Lillard is always unstoppable but this time they will surely miss Nurkic as Jokic will surely dominate the inside.

I watched the high lights of the game and yes, it was a very difficult win for Nuggets. The good thing is that the we're able to put a good lead and just hold onto it.

I wonder though about DeRozan, he seems to be choking in big time games, it was Rudy Gay and Lamarcus who keep the game for them and DeRozan missed a lot of shots early. And you will see the frustrations on his face after the game.

The 2nd round they will be facing the Blazers, Lillard is always unstoppable but this time they will surely miss Nurkic as Jokic will surely dominate the inside.
The score of the game is low meaning both of the teams played well on defense. The Nuggets just did better than Spurs. Now they proceed to the next round and will face the Blazers on the 2nd round. Nurkic will not play so Jokic will be the man they must defend. They must know how they will stop him.

On the other hand, the Raptors won against the Sixers. Well played on their home.

It will be interesting to see how well the Portland will play Jokic. He is not a Paul George type of playing, he is also good in spotting open team mates so Trailblazers will need a lot of help in trying to contain Jokic.

We have seen Durant and Lillard starting to heat up, and not it's Kawhi turn to show his true playoff potential with that monsters game.

Lillard can be stop with good defense but Kawhi and Durant is a different type of player, they are elite superstar, have already won Finals MVP.
In terms of defense, you can count on Kawhi on that and what's good for him is that he improve his 3 point shooting.
He also are surrounded by great teammates, so they are a tough team to beat.

Blazers will be facing a tougher team, they have to defend all players as Denver are moving the ball pretty well.
It's not only Jokic that is scoring, their threat is from inside and outside they are not the OKC where only WB and PG will score most of the time.
I guess this time around, Blazers will already run out of luck.

The 2nd round they will be facing the Blazers, Lillard is always unstoppable but this time they will surely miss Nurkic as Jokic will surely dominate the inside.

The score, 90-86. Nuggets started strong building a huge lead, but we all know that San Antonio has the capability to come back, so they did, cutting the lead to 2 with less than a minute. However, Murray hit a clutch floater with 40 seconds left, sealing the with. Jokic finished with 21 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists (triple-double). Now they are going to face the red hot Lillard and Portland in the second round.

They almost blow their big lead, Spurs are not giving up, they almost win this game but it's just the Nuggets are very aggressive and they are hungry for the win. Jokic is the star of the team but he trust his teammates by sharing the bull, and that's what makes this team successful, they played like a real team and not individual game.

I can't believe the type of player Durant became, we always knew he was a great player but his scoring is unparalleled in history. I have never seen anyone, even MJ and Kobe score that easily without even working, Kobe for example had to shoot over 5 guys sometimes and we joked about how he scored over people constantly instead of passing.

Durant is not like that, he just wants to score and does without any effort (at least it looks like that, I am sure there is effort involved). I really can't think of any other competition for warriors as long as they have Durant and he plays like he plays. Yeah rockets have harden and kudos to them but Durant would neutralize that easily and others could make up the difference. I keep thinking warriors could be beaten eventually but they always remind me why they are the best roster ever assembled.

He was at OKC and yet they are losing. Even Clippers gave them a hard time.
There is a weakness for this team and Clippers found that out. It is just that there is a counter for GSW too.
With Durant, they have a larger option for offense. But still if others wont work they cannot win the game.
It will always be a team play. Defense though of GSW is still low. I do think that is the key to defeating them and stopping them to make offense afterwards.

He hasn't matured yet when he was in OKC. I wouldn't say that they are losing, they've been in the playoffs. But the problem is the lack of experience that time. But since he has gain so much when he moves to GSW and now he we are seeing a prime Durant.

"You know who I am", I'm Kevin Durant".  Grin
