Giannis 25+ pts / J. Holiday 15+ pts / J. Holiday 4+ rebs / J. Holiday 1+ steal @1.78 ∆  X

It's funny how the last two games went down, with the team entering the fourth quarter (leading by double-digits) lost both times. I suppose i'm with the majority here in favoring the Bucks to win and close out the series. The final 15 seconds in game 5 were so deflating for Boston, first giving up an oreb to B. Portis (after a missed FT) to grab the lead, then Holiday's two excellent defensive plays...Celtics really had it, can't believe they let it slip away like that.  Anyways, for my prop, i went with Holiday and Giannis, i find those lines to be consistent throughout the series thus far. Holiday is averaging 22/7/2, while Giannis is close to 35 ppg.

Put your bets guys as both games may also end their series.
Warriors -7.5. That actually hurts as it almost says they are going to win this game. I do think they will but I wish the spread will be covered too.
Bucks -2.5. This one is unpredictable as the Celtics are not to be messed with even at Bucks's homecourt. Their last 3 games are all close enough that will make you worry if the spreads can be covered. Anyway, going for the home team and I feel Bobby will be making the crowd loud again that would mess up the Celtics game.

Not sure if the Warriors can cover that spread though, it was a devastating lost they had from Memphis. So for sure Memphis will try to get a jump again as this is the trend in the last 2 games.

The line for Bucks has drop to 1.5 at 1.94, I think this is a good line already. For sure Bobby will try to ignite the crowd on their side.

Every time a team is playing a close out game and they are at home, I think it's nice to back on them as they are more motivated to play. In the case of the Bucks, they are the defending champ, they did won on the road, so they should finish the series today and be back again in the ECF.

The Bucks are the defending champions and one of the best teams this year. I don't think it was expected that the series would even last that long. I thought it would be easier to overtake. However, the series has been extended and it is not yet clear which team will advance to the next round.
I think the Bucks will go to the next round with this game, the determination of the team that goes to the next round will not be left in the last game Smiley

Before the series, people thought that Bucks have no match against the Celtics because they don't have Middleton, but look what happened, they are even ahead in the series and have a chance to end the series tonight. I wouldn't be surprised if they'll win, the kind of motivation they have, they don't easily give up, so they'll give a big fight at home to win.

Well well well ....seems that Booker can't handle the heat and tried to knockout Luka out of the comfort zone but little he know that a Slovenian will respond back and double it ...and so he did. Now , imagine if Luka had at least a decent team that could fight for play-offs ...we wouldn't talk about who is going to reach the finals and we would talk about who is gonna face Mavs in the finals as this team with 3 more great players will be unbeatable.
The problem with the Suns is that CP3 is not playing well in the last few games already. His playmaking was there, but his offense and defense is his weakness. Luka as PG of the team can attack CP3 if he would guard Luka, if Mavericks will have a good shooting in game 7, they'll probably win the series.

It will be an interesting game 7 between these two west finalists, Luka answer back and able to push the series to a final do-or-die game.

The adjustments they've made are very effective. Luka just plays the way he loves, and he keeps making baskets and assists by rotating the ball,

not alone but the team effort to fight back and protect the home court win. this last game will determine who's more hunger to be in the

finals..
Yup, the way they handle some adjustment always makes me admire the way they play more. I really thought that the Dallas Mavericks will be the first team to be eliminated in the 2nd round because we really saw how exhausted was Luka on the first two games of this round while the Suns are dominating them easily on that said 2 games.

The good thing is they survived that run and adjusted well, now the tables are flipped and pressure is on the Phoenix Suns now with a threat that they are the ones who will be eliminated despite having a good run in the series.

^^ Yeah, Butler is the most consistent player in this series, so chances are he might lead the Heat in scoring again with 20 points.

I have Embiid though scoring under 26.5 + Sixers winning the game + under 206.5 Betbuilder.

Almost but not quite for me, as the Sixers losses the series already.

I thought that they will have a huge chance really, the game started very close, it was just in the beginning of the 3rd quarter that the Heat started to pull away and Sixers has no response for that. Maybe it was a bad sign that they will lost the game in their homecourt when Danny Green injured himself early in the 1st quarter. So Heat moves in the ECF and will be waiting for the winner of Celtics vs Bucks.

Danny Green was one of the reasons why they won 2 games at home. He brings back the old Green we know shooting

and converting from the 3 points territory and really gave Sixers decent lead to win a game, with him out
in the early first quarter, sixers still fighting and trying to hold. They do manage not to let the distance by far
but in the 2nd half, Heat dominated them and they don't have any answer. Butler again put things on his shoulder
taking every shot that is possible and convert.

Luka is already unstoppable, he is consistent in the series so far. The key for the Mavericks in winning here is if Luka's teammates will shoot well from the outside as that is their game, and for sure Luka will find a way to pass the ball to an open shooter as Luka is attracting a lot of defense from the Suns.

Sad for James Harden. He seems to be eager to win a championship but again he will keep on chasing it. Maybe next season, build that chemistry with Embiid and dominate the East.
Miami Heat is too strong at both defensive and offensive ends and the balance of players is just perfect. They have a high chance to win the championship if they keep the same mentality.
2/3 I had a good parlay for Harden 3's and Ayton player prop.

Really sad for Harden. I also wanted him to win a championship. But to be honest, he wasn't at his best this playoffs. His last performance is not at superstar level. While I bet on Miami, still I was disappointed at Harden especially in the second half. He was scoreless ang was 0-2 beyond the arc. He didn't even tried driving the basket. Maybe he is past his prime? Or maybe he needs be himself again?

Harden was not the same Harden we saw in Houston, he lost his consistency anymore and Embiid as well is not 100%. Miami Heat deserved to win the series, and they are now waiting for the winner of the Bucks/Celtics series. If Bucks will finish the series tomorrow, that's good because both teams have no advantage for a long rest.

In the meantime, it is the 4th quarter and it is not looking good for the Phoenix Suns the score was 109 - 86 as I am posting this not a great thing to watch aswell, Luka Doncic is pulverizing the Phoenix Suns at the moment,
Yep, what a disappointing performance from the Suns, they're going to get destroyed in the next round even if they win this series but it would be more interesting if the Mavericks pull off a surprise win on the road. On the other hand, the unders have been hitting comfortably.

Any leans on tomorrow's game? for some reason even though the Bucks have a chance to close the series tomorrow the Celtics might come out swinging again and possibly force a game 7.

-snip-

I'm saying because your first 3 words were literally "its just luck", then go on to say luck was not on theor side.  You don't bad luck your way into a 40 point loss.  Luck is missing a game winning shot or an errant pass that misses your guy.  Luck had nothing to do with them losing last night

Is the word luck banned from this forum? that is why they lost the shot and pass misses and Golden State Warriors has 22 turnovers from that game, did you think that's not coincidental, and if we look at the dictionary the word luck means

"success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions"

I know the Grizzlies were a different team without Ja Morant they are basically a well-rounded team and with that height advantage against the Warriors team, they can push an offense that is for sure, well we can sure give our opinion about luck but this is the last time I will debate it to you but have a good day,



I really agree with you on the Heat advancing from the series and it's obvious that Embiid isn't anywhere close to be fit, he'd probably have sat this out if it were a game 1 or 2, but he'd definitely not want to with what's at stake, that's how much he love the game, maybe it's not the same with Harden and if he can't get them going early it might be lost cause, another thing that might play against the Heat would be unnecessary foul troubles they tend pick up early, and If Bam Adebayo doesn't get near his usual minutes of guiding Embiid, it might be tougher than expected.

That said; my pick for tonight is on Heat ML @ 2.43

Clearly, Joel Embiid needs help, he is not at 100% performance from that game and was really struggling in making it work, I say Tyrese Maxey has done a great job in giving Philadelphia a chance, and Shake Milton is doing a proper job than James Harden, pretty much Harden has played 43 mins on the game and he only done 11 points, he is not playing defensively and if what he's worth I think he really needs to showcase it and it is now or never, there might be a problem with him that was a horrible performance he has shown against the Heat,

With the Suns back in the lead and in series point, they could easily close it out here if they put up a clean performance. I hope it's the case because if not it'll give GSW a slight breather since they're likely going to close out their series with the Grizzlies in 6 even though there's always a chance for them to lose. Also, I like the under as I expect the pace to slow down once more as these two will probably go all out on defense but i'll stick with my Suns pick atm.

I'm out of leans for today's game 6, so i settled with a Jimmy Butler prop. Without a doubt, the most consistent player throughout the series. As you can see from the screen above, his averages are significantly higher than my picks, hopefully he doesn't flop. I believe Miami will eventually close out the series if not today then in gm 7, i was really disappointed with the way the Sixers played in gm 5. Embiid is dealing with a slew of injuries, Harden has a history of not showing up in big games, and can you really trust any of their role players...?
