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?

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.

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.

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.

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,


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,


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,

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 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

^^ 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.

∆ J. Butler 20+ pts / J. Butler 5+ rebs / J. Butler 4+ ast / J. Butler 1+ steals @1.97  won

27/7/6/2

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...?

Just like what we thought, Bucks made it! It was a really tight game especially on the last 3 minutes on the court, Celtics was playing great but they really lack something that the Bucks have and I think their experience in the playoffs and being a defending champion.

Giannis contributed 40 points and 11 rebounds and also Jrue Holiday with 24 points.

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 it just me or the Warriors really did something odd about game 5 of their series against the Grizzlies? Hmmm. Maybe that's just too much Twitter. 
Shaving points will get them near cold metal bars. Not a lovely thing. Okay, let's just blame Mike Brown.

I want game 7 for the 76ers vs Heat. It may be difficult but who knows. It could also be attractive to their ticket buyers.
76ers -3.5
The same with Mavs vs Suns. Let's go Game 7. Mavs +3.5. Good luck!

I am saying luck because clearly there are not enough 3 point shots for Curry, Thompson, and Poole, and we all know that a 3 point shots also needed luck for the player to not miss a shot, but yeah it is not a 100% luck and I am not basing it all in luck so why are you keep on engaging that word to my face?

Anyway in the next game which is game 6, the Warriors will surely need to muscle and change their strategy against the Grizzlies, clearly, the Memphis Grizzlies are a different team without Ja Morant pretty much the advantage of the Grizzlies with their height really was abuse compare to the player's size of the Warriors, but I think the Warriors will have a solution to this problem,


Well, good for you for guessing it right most of the time, I think we all need to sometimes feel the vibes of the match before engaging with a bet, and I think you are doing great, and with the Grizzlies and the Warriors game, I am talking about luck not because Grizzlies doesn't win because of luck don't get me wrong the Memphis Grizzlies is a formidable team and a different team when Morant is out, I am referring luck to the splash trio of the Warriors not engaging so much with their Three's apparently they will need to change their style of play, not against just Ja Morant but the team of the Grizzlies, because I really think that the Grizzlies is a formidable team to really handle,

I already said in your quote, you are one of the lucky ones this time in NBA betting, now, you could better sit down and have a cup of coffee, relaxed.

There are two more games for both teams, I wish you luck again.

I dunno, its luck or something unintentional but lately my betting on the NBA never disappoints, some of my guesses are right maybe, i'm into hockey in basketball betting lately.

yesterday, I was very sure before the match between the Celtics vs Bucks took place, the Bucks won by a narrow score beating the Celtics, finally right, but there are still two more meetings Celtics vs. Bucks which is scheduled for 14-16 next week, I will re-bet for both of them, hopefully in two more meetings, luck is still on my side.

So that's your take on last night's game, luck?  Memphis won buy forty and was up at times over 50 points on GS.  Luck?  You luck into a bank 3 to win, you luck into someone missing a shot so you can win.  You don't luck into a 40 point playoff game.  It's clearly evident no one has seen Memphis play this year.  Clearly.

Warriors won game 4 but they were struggling in that game. It was Curry who carried the team on that win, but in game 5, it's very visible that they lack on defense that's why Memphis easily score on them.  It wasn't the Warriors that we usually saw, hopefully they'll bounce back and will finish the series in game 6.

Maybe, but they also won game 4 without coach Kerr.

Not sure if how things happened earlier, weak defense and poor offense, it's not the Warrior that we used to know. They have
all the stars and the main players who can compete, but Memphis dominated the whole game. I'm just hoping that they lose
today to win in game 6 in front of the chase center crowd. Looking to see them bounce back with a much better game plan
to finish this series.

No one expected that the Warriors would lose in that game with a very huge margin. They are lost in that game, I think that's maybe because Kerr is not coaching and I think Warriors should fire Mike Brown on that bad job.

Here are the results for today's pick

Boston Celtics VS Milwaukee Bucks (Bucks Leads 2 -3) SCORE 107 - 110 - WIN

Milwaukee Bucks have turned the tables and upset Boston Celtics on their home turf it was a really close game and the Celtics could have won this game but to no luck, the Milwaukee Bucks still made a tremendous comeback and now leading the race towards the finals, and it was really a competitive game Marcus Smart has 15 points, Jaylen Brown has 26 points and Jayson Taytum got 34 points but it was not enough with Bobby Portis got a double-double of 15 rebound and 14 points, Jrue Holiday got 24 points, while Giannis Antetokounmpo also got a double-double performance of 11 rebounds and 40 points it was really a great game to watch.
 

Memphis Grizzlies VS Golden State Warriors (Warriors Lead 3 - 2) SCORE 134 - 95 - LOST

It's just luck, luck was evident not with the Warriors right now, they 3's are not getting in, and the Grizzlies just got there and play the game as they used to, with no problems at all, and looking at the game stats the Golden State Warriors has 22 turnovers while the Grizzlies just got 9 if you look at that we can see how unfortunate that the game was pretty much not on the Warriors side and I really like what Draymond Green has said in his The Draymond Green show, that they need to rethink their approach and strategy the Grizzlies is playing without Ja Morant and their strategy was build towards Morant, and when Morant is out the Memphis Grizzlies is a different team, and I think this is evident on game 4 the Warriors is struggling in winning, and when the Splash Trio's 3 points shots are not working then they will surely have their problems,

What an unexpected game, I really thought that the Warriors would close the series today on Memphis but the Grizzlies stepped up to a whole new level. It's like they are just playing against a weaker team because the Warriors couldn't answer at all as Jackson, Bane and Jones kept on throwing threes everywhere and they managed to score 21 points each. The Warriors have forfeited the game on the 3rd quarter when they decided to sit the new big three of the GSW.

Question, is this because Steve Kerr wasn't there to help the team?
