The inability of the Sixers to drain those 3's cost them the game and Tatum and Rozier really stepped up for the Celtics. But that story will be different come game2 because for sure the Sixers are going to make some adjustments and try to bury those 3's.

Based on the first game, yes I would agree that the 3's makes a lot of difference that why the Sixers lost the first game. On the other hand, Celtics was on fire hitting 17 3's. But its just 1 game and I still favored Sixers to win in 6 here. Celtics doesn't have their main scoring threat, plus they are pretty banged up. Gonna be interesting to see the adjustments in game 2, I think sixers will play physical.

Good luck to them, at this moment, I think the Boston are playing a good ball and they are undervalued.
Whoever back the Sixers now in the series should try to think twice because I am seeing that the Boston can once again reach the NBA East Finals.

Lebron James is so experienced when it comes to do or die games and i think it really helps him in the series between the Indiana Pacers. Going into the series with Toronto Raptors, i think the latter should disposed the burnt James and the rest of the Cavaliers as early as possible because if it will go down the wire, it would favor the Cavs.
I agree, Lebron James is tough to beat come game 7's. He has done that many times already.
They put up a stat on him in game 7's and I was surprised.

He will have his work cut out for him and the Cavs to face a well rested Raptors team as they finished off the Wizards late last week and are ready for the king and his team mates for what is turning out to be the matchup of the playoffs so far.

Respect to Oladipo, he has played very well in that series.
What I see on social media is many memes about Oladipo.

I think the cavaliers will not get pass the round 2, Toronto is a much improve team now and the have offense inside an out as well.
It's early to speculate until we see the series ends. I know Toronto is strong but let's don't forget on how many titles Lebron went through and Cavs as well.

I'm not a fan of him.
Even myself isnt a fan of him but now i do recognize him and somehow amazed with his skills.Yes, i have seen lots of memes about Oladipo too on social medias and as a player there are still lots of improvements to happen but talking on competing with Lebron he would never stood a chance.We do really able to see the experience and skills gap between this 2 teams.

Speaking how tough Lebron is in Game 7, he hasn't lost in this decade. You can read everything here.

https://www.sbnation.com/2018/4/29/17293880/lebron-james-game-7-history-cavaliers

And who will forgot how they defeated Golden State in 2016 after they are down 3-1 and eventually win the NBA trophy? As far as Toronto though, its a different team now and they have a better chance as compare to the last 2 years when the Cavs easily swept them. Besides they have the home court advantage this time and Air Canada is one of the largest and noisiest arena ever.
This do really signifies that the even on the slightest chance to win, any team can able to turn or comeback the entire game and James did able to bring those teams into that kind of chances.Checking out the link that was a good read for those people who didnt able to track out game 7's of Lebron.This is truly proving that James do really get that title as The King.
I agree on what you said about this recent toronto team which is much really stronger into this year compared on previous years.

Can't disagree. Comparing to other players who are playing well early each season but when it comes to series 7 games, they are starting to play unsure. LJ's experience is giving him a confidence that though there are times that he really don't play well but he's really tough and a play maker. So thinking if Cavs is no match against Raptors it's like you are saying that you can't win against other teams though you also know how to play the game.  Roll Eyes

Maybe they could win against Toronto or their plays may have been being studied by now. That is one offensive team with a speed that is hard to keep up. Their pacing is like the flash.

When that happens, they will need to stop a lot of fastbreaks that could make a lead for Toronto.
Who will stop them? Lebron is the only one agile enough to go forward and defend.
This is the one missing from the Indiana game which made them won the game 6. They need fastbreaks and Toronto is made for that.

Even if they manage to beat the raptors though, the cavs will surely won't have it easy against either boston or the sixers. But yeah one thing that will work for the cavs the entire post season would be their experience. Among the semifinalists, no team could match the cavs experience having been in the finals for the last couple of years.  I don't see this year's champions taking the larry obrien back to the east

They are not dominant just like before, no other player could provide a good scoring and love is not giving a good scoring.
I think the x factor of the win in the game 7 against the Pacers was Thompson, if he can stay healthy all throughout the series then maybe we'll witness another 7 games but the home court advantage is not on the cavaliers anymore.

Houston Rockets literally crushing the Utah Jazz now. James Harden already with 17 and it's only 4:05 minutes left in the 2nd and CP3 with 14. Don't know if Jazz will able to get back as Donovan Mitchell only have 7 points and it's already on half of regulations.

Looks like Rockets will get the Game 1. Maybe Im wrong. Rockets won 85% in the series when having a double digit lead before the half. Let's see if that will be the story here.

Houston Rockets is closed to win now. I don't believed that Utah Jazz will able to shorten the lead. That will be a blowout. Better luck next game.

1st Round winners Pelicans and Jazz feel the wrath and power of no. 1 and 2 at the Western Conference. Smiley

And Houston takes Game 1. Statistically, Jazz did better that Houston, but I think the most significant factor is the three point attempt/made. And besides, it looks like that Utah is tired from the series with OKC.

Another great game by Indiana, but it was not enough to overcome James and the Cavs. Victor Oladipo will be big in Indiana in the next coming years and will continue to be their main man. This is really a good year for the team and making the playoffs and hanging with the Cavs is already a accomplishment.
3 point shooting success percentage would really be a big factor which will mainly affect the game if they dont make any way how to stop it then that would be a troublesome.We wont know if Utah is tired on the series with thunders but basing on the gameplay ive seen such similar performance but well there would be always a 1 winner which do fought or play well but still a satisfying game.

Victor Oladipo is really making some buzz and no doubt he would definitely become their main man basing on his performance its considerable.

Respect to Oladipo, he has played very well in that series. He just find a place where his talent fits. Is it a coincidence with the James Harden situation? Right after leaving OKC, they improved a lot and perfectly gel with the new system. Still have a lot of room for improvement, Pacers will become a solid team next season.
Round 2 would be between the Cavs and the Raptors, another exciting match in the Easter conference semis.
I think the cavaliers will not get pass the round 2, Toronto is a much improve team now and the have offense inside an out as well.
Good for Oladipo that his talent finally showed, he was the main man in the Magic also but the team did not make it to the playoffs and as a young
player, it's always an honor to play good games with the King.

Yes just finished watching it too. When it is at Cleveland it sure is a time where only those who lives there are awake.  Grin This happened last year too and I think it will happen again.


I though NBA games will be 7am onwards (GMT +8). I just wake up because my Blockfolio shown me a good price and will dump that coin lol. Didn't know that Cavaliers game came up early also the other game.
