Congratulations for Boston Celtics for their hardwork since the beginning of the playoffs. They surely tired for every effort they are doing in every game.

But that hardwork is not enough to compete and dominates Cleveland Cavaliers. I don't want to be biased here, Im not even a fan of Cleveland Cavaliers but surely Cavs will take away all efforts that Celtics did to make it to Eastern Conference Finals.

Just imagine, without Lebron James on the floor for Cavs and Isiah Thomas for Celtics, who would win? Cavs is having a bad record for playing without Lebron James but in this case, it's Celtics. Also Cavs performance at playoffs is different compare to their season games.

Don't underestimate the Boston Celtics, I'm not a Cavaliers fans to but it looks like you are treating them as an underdog. Sometimes Lebron is playing like a kid and there were times that it is not because of him that the Cavs is winning. The ball is round and everything can happen in a split of a second but I admit that Cavs has the advantage.

San Antonio Spurs Vs Golden State Warriors

I would be betting on under 209.5 points. Leonard will be out for Game 2 and most likely the Spurs will not score as many points as they had in Game 1. Warriors should win this comfortably but the handicap is too big for me. I prefer to bet on under 209.5 points as Spurs offense will not be as strong as before.

for sure cavs is more hungrier than celtics in terms of winning the title, james and irving will dominate this series for sure as they really stepping up in each game they played coming this playoff and with east finals we will expect more coming from the other players around, cavs will win this as expected.

Finally it's going to be the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers who will face the East Finals, it was really a close game from 1st to 2nd quarter until the Boston made a good run in the 3rd quarter that give them a comfortable lead and although the Wizard try to close the game but Boston are the better team tonight so they deserve the win. Good luck for this two, time to beat for the cavaliers game 1 ....
Boston is a very strong team. Good job on getting back to the ECF again. Im not a Boston Celtics fan. But i love their chemistry. They connected to each other. Also their shooting improves too. I think Celtics is the most improved team in the league. Isaiah Thomas should be the MVP. He deserves that. Im sure Celtics will give Cavs a hard time beating them. Cavs is decorated with star players. They will be embarrassed if they lose on Celtics.

Congratulations to Boston, especially Isaiah Thomas for playing after his personal tragedy but I don't think they have what it takes to give the Cavs a hard time even if they have home advantage. I think the Wizards played a lot harder during the regular season and both Wall and Beal were very troublesome for the Cavs. The Celtics don't seem to have the same firepower around the rim and Thompson and Kevin Love will be too much for them to contain.

Either way if the Celtics manage to win Game 1, they can put some pressure on Cleveland, that's for sure, especially after the Cavs having such a long break, they could come out too "soft".

I missed the game but lost because I thought Boston would choke near the end.
They didn't because they already choked in the 1st half, lol..

The trend continues and the Celtics won at home, the easy bet was the over because both are playing a fast pace game and there 3 point shooting are both clicking tonight, Bradly Beal did a great job in scoring but John Wall were not able to carry his team in the clutch time.
Good thing I didn't bet on this game.
I was about to make a props bet for John Wall to score more 27 points. Roll Eyes

Boston celtics will face cleveland cavaliers at the eastern conference finals! Congrats to the celtics for making it to the finals! hope they won't be sweep by the defending champs!
Cavaliers love sweeping the Celtics, I hope to see a different outcome this season, they have the home court advantage since they finished with top 1 in the east and that is a good opportunity for them to prove they are good at home. They never lose at home against the Wizards so that would be a great factor we can consider on betting with them, I think they are underdog in the series but let's see what they can do.
I am betting that this series does not go beyond Game 5, in favor of the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Celtics are a good team but they have been pushed by the Wizards to a certain extent and you have to wonder how much legs they have under them, compared to the well-rested, well-prepared Cavs who are a different animal each time we enter the playoffs. The only thing going for the Celtics is the home court advantage which if they lose Game 1 would be lost advantage.

Boston Celtics 115 - 105 Washington Wizards

Golden State Warriors 02:00 San Antonio Spurs
Boston made it, now its cavs that they need to face off its the two best in the east we will sew how they handle the cavs which is still hunger to defend their title, thomas needs to play its best until the last game of this series.
Cavaliers are a top caliber team, the Celtics cannot beat them for sure, currently the line is -3.5 for the cavaliers, I think it's a gift for the public bettors. Let's pound that line, cavaliers are well rested and they will be playing a team that they have been dominating in this league.
Cavaliers are still best in business and can win this very easily Celtics are not capable to handle this one going to try this -3.5 because hope this could be going high in next few hours
Golden State Warriors vs San Antonio Spurs today Warriors are going to double their lead as they are too good for Spurs

Yup that was a hard fought battle that was pushed to game 7 (Boston vs Wizards), cavaliers is a very strong team. Undoubtedly strong form the inside and very fast at executing plays on the outside. But Boston Celtics is the number one contender in the east so they might have a shot in winning the series. If the big three in the cavaliers is injured (Kyrie, lebron, and love) they will lose momentum and I think that would lead to a loss. Let’s just see what will happen.
The battle in the western finals on the other side is so intense though.

Job well done for Zaza Pachulla! He is the mvp! Lol!
GS will be massacred if Kawhi Leonard didn't injured by that nasty foot of Zaza Pachulla. Kawhi is unstoppable on that game. I doubt he will comeback on game 2. No more key players for Spurs. But i think game 2 is never gonna be easy for GS. Coach Pov trained his players very well. If you see even rookies can match GS.

Man in my own analysis of what happened to Kawhi Leonard I really think Zaza Pachulia intentionally injured Kawhi. Repeated the video a dozen times and I always came up to a conclusion that the extra step of Zaza Pachulia is not even necessary, he didn't even jump to be out of balance in that move, for it was a dirty play that made it look unintentional in the video playback. Now if Kawhi did not come back the game would be one sided in all of the series. 
It could be because the warriors are very frustrated when they were down with big points but that is normal in the game, there are a lot of dirty players out there and Draymond was one of them. Kawhi is the best player of the team, we need his clutch plays to beat this overrated warriors. This game would not be fun to watch without Kawhi, unless they will win game 2 like what they did winning in Houston even without him.
It will be hard to beat gsw without kawhi on the floor. Gsw is very strong offensively. But if coach pop can devise a play that can limit the scoring power of gsw with his remaining players, they may still make it. They still have strong defensive players left.

That's the trade mark of Golden State, they surely is good in offensive plays and also in defensive moves. But I know that GSW is playing well and they are not confident against Spurs, they know that even with a single wrong move it can make the momentum turn around for them and will be in favor of the Spurs.

Intentional or not, things already happened and no other choice but to go forward.

Somehow, if Kawhi Leonard is still on the floor, the Spurs defense and momentum will not thoroughly goes down until the end of the quarter. Popovich had been good for taking timeouts even they have a large lead just to cut Warriors momentum especially Steph Curry who just alone did some good performance since the game began. But timeouts is limited so when Warriors are doing a rally after Kawhi's dissappearance, not much timeouts had been called. Warriors play good that's all I can say that even Kawhi on the floor, they will close the game in small lead. Curry already bags big points before the half. Others blame that other Spurs players must maintain the lead even without Kawhi but in reality it's hard because they are not ready. If prior to game and Kawhi Leonard was not present maybe they can adjust.

But like I said, they must move on and I think Spurs will not make things go easy even without their key player on the floor.

As others have mentioned the Spurs deployed these dirty tricks for years when Bruce Bowen was on court so they have nothing to complain (same coach and even a couple of players like Manu and Parker).

Those people doesn't know the point here. Nothing to complain because someone did it in the past in their roster history? What if the impact is heavy? They will just be silent? Im not talking about the recent issue but on the future if ever there will be situation like that.

Of course they were all accomplices back then and now you have to hear Popovich crying about it lol, it's irony at the highest level! I think others should complain about it, not the Spurs, so it doesn't happen again and Pachulia gets some sort of punishment. I know for many it's not clear if he was intentional or not but these things should not fly in the NBA anymore. I'm a Cavs fan and I don't like the Warriors one bit but I can't feel any sympathy for the Spurs right now. What Pachulia did is inexcusable and should be punished but the Spurs should remain silent.



Well expect the "complaints" will last until Game 2 begins.

Spurs really suffers a hard road this series from the beginning. And now facing again another problem with their main man missing in action. Kawhi is definitely out now in their Game 2 match. Golden State Warriors is so deadly that you want your squad to be healthy just to match this team.

Hope this words from Patty Mills will give hopes to the remaining squad. "All we can control is going out Game 2, playing hard and playing smart to get back on track. We have a great opportunity. It's obviously a big loss, but I think the belief still within the group is that no matter who's on the floor, we've still got a great opportunity here. And we all believe no matter who is on the court, we can go and get this done."
