They should stop talking about Lebron and focus their attention on how Giannis perform well this playoffs  Smiley.
Giannis played well on this conference and they are now moving to the next bracket against Boston Celtics. I'm not an analyst regarding rosters and teams but base on the stats, these two swept Indiana and Detroit.

Awhile ago, I bet with Golden State Warriors.. sure win.. hehe  Tongue

The playoffs are underway and ESPN won't stop talking about Lebron and the Lakers.  Do people really care this much?  It must be bringing in higher ratings for them or they wouldn't be doing it.

Yeah quite annoying right? And if you think about it, there's as much lebron haters as those who idolize him and they want lebron out of the playoffs and they got what they asked for. The current matchups are interesting as they are and i don't think the nba needs lebron for their ratings and sales no. Lebron drama should have been left in the regular season.

Lebron will come back strong the next season, this time give the young fella some recognition, Lebron is the king but he has fallen this season.
Harden vs Giannis is a good topic than Lebron, because these two are the closest rival to be MVP this season, and might face the NBA finals, who knows.

Sorry, GSW fans.... Tongue

the Celtics and Bucks are looking very strong this season and both went 4-0 in the first round  Roll Eyes

Beside from GSW-HOU matchup in the second round, MIL - BOS is surely the next most exciting matchup in the second round. Between these two teams, my bet is on Celtics. They are 4th seed in East but they have experience and depth in role players.

This is a good match as Celtcis is a tough team, they won't allow not allow the best team in the NBA right now to dominate them.
I'm looking forward for a good series where the stars will step up, Kyrie always does but this team his team is facing a tougher team so he needs
some good help from his teammates to defense this very physical Bucks.

I hope smart can play this series, he gives energy to the team.

I do not think even with Blake Griffin pistons could have beaten bucks but this series was waaaay too noncompetitive without him. Think of it like Giannis didn't play for the bucks for this series and was injured seriously, they would have been a decent team but not good enough to sweep pistons for sure and could even have been a challenge for pistons to actually move to semi finals if Griffin was healthy on top of that.

Celtics are definitely lucky too that Oladipo is not around but I think that is fine because even with Oladipo this would be the result. We are all waiting on just Raptors and Sixers to finish off their series to actually have the most competitive semi finals in eastern conference since probably ever. I don't know if there was 4 equal teams on east semi finals ever before.

I'm still worried about a repeat of last year where they got swept by the Cavs before the conference finals,..

Lots of things happened since then...

-LeBron is now out on the East... having a coffee somewhere..
-Kawhi Leonard, a former finals MVP, already formed a chemistry with the team.
-2018 Coach of the Year Dwayne Casey out.

Somehow these things might changed the usual "choking" Raptors every playoffs.



Beside from GSW-HOU matchup in the second round, MIL - BOS is surely the next most exciting matchup in the second round. Between these two teams, my bet is on Celtics. They are 4th seed in East but they have experience and depth in role players.

A rematch from last year's playoffs which took up to Game 7. A close one.

The changes:
Celtics will now Kyrie and Hayward on-board.
Milwaukee Bucks improvement this season.

If you are supporting a team that ESPN isn't talking about that much or they don't talk about them at all then I feel you as well, but that just how the way it goes. Big market teams also has the biggest fan bases that is why they talk about them even if Lakers aren't part of the Playoffs they can still generate viewers just by creating a topic about them.

That is why for me my only solution is to go with the alternatives and that is by joining FB groups of my team and their subreddit pages as this is the only way I'll get the latest news from them. I even listen to recorded podcasts from known die hard fans just so I get the latests bits from them, I even find then more entertaining compared to Stephen A. Smith's loud voice talking about nonsense predictions.

As a fan I'm loving how the Raptors are playing, and they should breeze past Magic (fingers crossed).

We cannot compare it from last years performance of the Raptors.
They are playing with DeRozan at those times and he choked there. Also I didnt like how the coach benched him even if he is off night. His defense is still a plus and he might create another gameplay for him to score.
The memory is still fresh for me.
But now, with Leonard out there Green, Siakam and Lowry, their offense can be found easily even if one is not playing well.
It will be a win at their homecourt in game 5.

NBA has become like UFC. They are using negative publicity to boost the TRP and revenues. ESPN paid billions for the NBA broadcasting rights, so I can understand that they are nervous. This may not matter much for us. But there are a lot of low IQ fans out there and ESPN is trying to give them a feeling that their voice is being heard.

The Bucks are the second team to clinch semi finals and will face the Celtics in the next round. Greek Freak scored 41 points and dominated the third quarter in the paint because most of the players of Pistons are in foul trouble.

Griffin also fouled out in the last minutes of the 4th quarter. Anyway, nice game for the Pistons but its obvious that nobody can stop the Greek Freak on the inside.

Watching Jazz Vs. Rockets as I posted this Cheesy

Solid win from the Bucks. I didn't expect anything less from Giannis to tell you the truth. He is in fire and he can lead Milwaukee to impressive moments.

The next playoff phase is going to have interesting pairs. Boston vs Milwaukee is one of my favorites and I want to see bucks going forward.
I know it already Smiley . I think they just not gave their full potential on the first half but they gave their all in the second half. Also they dominated the paint with blocks and many of them are in foul trouble. Pistons and Bucks is a one sided series from the start.

Now who is your bet between the Celtics and the Bucks Cheesy. And how many games Cheesy.
Both teams have sweep their opponent, they are good team and they are fun to watch.
Bucks is hot right now but the Celtics has the experience, and they are healthy this time, let's see which team will advance to the next round.

Bucks is the favorites here but I don't like to underestimate the Celtics.

Right, Giannis also did blocked some shots, one thing I noticed though is that he loves being isolated because most of the time, he has some mismatch. I don't know if he can do it against Boston. But yes, I would like to see them move further and get past Boston so let's see.

Damn a monster game Giannis played tonight in closing out Detroit.

It's going to be interesting to see them match against Celtics now. Boston has their own version of a sweep as well. I'm sure that the defensive team of Celtics has scouted Giannis so let's see how effective they are in stopping the Greak Freak.

Live on your local TV I assumed?  Grin

Actually Detroit Pistons didn't do bad in the game. They have the lead most of the game and it's just in the last 3 minutes of the third wherein the Bucks take the lead and Detroit hadn't had any answers on that run.

And they went cold in the fourth while Bucks goes hot hitting three's and Bledsoe penetration was unstoppable as well. Congrats and looking forward to Bucks vs Celtics, this could extend to 6-7 games, I reckon.
