Picks! Let's go!
Good news for 76ers fans.
https://www.espn.ph/nba/team/injuries/_/name/phi/philadelphia-76ers
This type of news is like saying he will play but for those who want to make sure then you could wait before the game starts but I am positive the odds will suddenly shift when he is announced to play. As of checking Stake.com player props, he is listed so I think that's a green light. These bookies of ours gets news faster than the internet. 
76ers -1.5

Other game. Rooting for the Mavs -1.5. Badly need a win, let's see how they will surprise us with something new and not Doncic all the way.

Here are my picks for today's game for the NBA Semifinals highlighted in green are my picks,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Miami Heat (Heat Leads 0 - 2)

Right now Stake.com's odds for this game can not be seen, because it was Suspended and the odds can not be seen on the stake site, but right now there is progress with 76er's injuries, right now Joel Embiid is questionable if he can play, and right now many are hype because they know that Joel Embiid is playing again, I guess the 76ers will not let the Heat prevail and win the third time, while the Heat has Kyle Lowry, P.J. Tucker, Caleb Martin, Gabe Vincent, Max Strus, and Tyler Herro questionable for the Heat if they can play, I truly believe in the return of Joel Embiid the 76ers will have a decent play right now, and they will not let another win for the Miami Heat so I am going with the 76ers this time.

Dallas Mavericks VS Phoenix Suns (Suns Leads 0 - 2)

Stake odds for this game are 1.94 for the Mavericks while 1.91 for the Suns, it seems a close odds this time, and right now the Mavericks have Tim Hardaway Jr. has a foot injury and can not play for this game right now, while the Suns have Dario Saric that has a knee injury and can not play for the Suns, that gameplay for Chris Paul he surely knows when to past and who he can count on to pass to make a play, CP3's decision in making plays are really remarkable and I am afraid this could be another win for the Phoenix Suns, so my pick will be the Suns.

Maybe Dallas can win one game at their homecourt and show some semblance that they can upset the top seed. But I doubt that though, Suns has so many weapons compare to Mavs who mostly rely on Doncic, but it will not be sweep, I think the Mavs can win at least one game in their homecourt before bowing to the Suns in 5 games.

Yes, I was also informed earlier this day that Dillion Brooks has been suspended to play on Game 3 after that incident, frankly that was way more beyond the line because GP2 was badly injured after he fell. Anways, the damage has been done and sadly for GP2, he cannot play probably for the rest of the season even if the GSW can make it into the Finals this year.

That's why it's a good action by the NBA, there's no favoritism.
Draymond was even suspended for a Flagrant foul 1 against Lebron in 2016 NBA Finals, and what Brooks did was worst.

No GPII and no Brooks, I think this is a fair match up, the only advantage of the Warriors now is they are at their home, so I expect them to win, but to cover the spread, I'm a bit doubtful.. 

Hopefully Klay will produce a playoffs number.

That's the biggest difference in this series, Luka can't takeover the game just like what he did against the Jazz because someone is covering him so far and no one has been stepping up on them because of the good defense by the team as a whole. And if I'm not mistaken, he has some sort of injury, in his thumb that might bother him a bit in the next game. As for the Sixers, I think it's over as there is no Joel for them. So yeah, I like the idea of doing a multi bet for both Suns and Heat to cover the spread.

With the Suns seemingly dominating the Mavericks and the 76ers without Joel Embiid, I think both series look like they could end in clean sweep victories for the Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat. I’d feel pretty good betting on both games individually for the Suns and Heat to cover the spread as well as a multi-bet for them both to win. I feel like Dallas has a chance of Luka managed to take over a game but so far Devon Booker has been shutting him down. Both games will be televised on ESPN.

I was frustrated, but Dillon Brooks is a good player that will not account for that kind of playstyle just to win, so I believe that he is a good player he doesn't commit a thing in the past, but that play he executed on Payton II was really a wrong code, and if he would be suspended because of that we really don't give him a chance to explain himself, yes I am frustrated on what happens to GP2 but this is basketball and a contact sports anything can surely happen in the heated of the game, he might do something to Payton to get injured but I don't think he deserves another game that he couldn't play, I think that game ejection was enough for that kind of offense, and yes the whole Grizzlies doesn't really plan anything about it, Basketball is a contact sport anything can happen inside the court.


The Boston Celtics VS Milwaukee Bucks is likely an interesting case, both teams can win over each other and both teams have their ups and downs and people are Switching sides because the Bucks will be playing on their home court and there might be an advantage for the Milwaukee Bucks, but we can not underestimate the Boston Celtics those players can really play under pressure and if the Celtics got to focus with their game, then this could be a win for them, but if Giannis Antetokounmpo will be pretty much in his good condition he might wreck havoc during this game, and as of not Marcus Smart is injured and can not play for this game,

There's always a corresponding sanction when you do something wrong, and the organization already implements that.

Now we all need to move forward and see if how both Memphis and GSW will pay this series. I'm sure after that defeat GSW will
be more aggressive playing at home. Aside from more offensive attacks, they will provide better defense for Morant and the rest
of Memphis. Maybe Klay will adjust or a double team will be more strict not to allow Ja' to penetrate with a much higher confidence.

Whether it's intentional or not, what's important is that Brooks is already sanctioned and he should know that what he did was wrong. He can be aggressive but always ensure that his movement will not severely injure a player, because if they think of injuring a player to get rid of him, that is not good sportsmanship, and a bad competition just to win.

Players code. One example. "Meet me at the top." I heard that from Westbrook when he was fouled by DeAndre Jordan who grabbed him down avoiding an easy layup for WB. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vZrc0vm7E0
I agree with Kenny "The Jet" Smith about there's a right way to make the foul and avoid an easy deuce but because of the inexperience of Brooks and the spur of the moment, it was done wrong.

I don't think Brooks is a dirty player, there's no history of him doing those kinds of fouls but a suspension should be acceptable to him as he knows he went far on that play.

The schedule changed I thought I will be watching Warriors vs Grizzlies tomorrow but instead, it will be teams who played yesterday.

Nope, I don't se it that way. Siakam may have injured Embiid but that was clean, and there was no controversy on that. However, Brooks play was pretty obvious it was a hard foul to hard GPII, and the organization speak their decision by suspending him one game, he would not be suspended if he is not guilty.

There is news that he will be suspended without pay next game. So he will missed game 3 and that could be a big factor for Memphis because they are on the road against one of the best home team.

I do agree, it was not planned, it just so happened, just like when Siakam broke Embiid orbital bone with that one Euro step causing Joel to missed as well the games against the Heat.

Yeah, but there are bettors who likely made money on the Celtics because as I have said, they remain the favorite in game 2.

But looking at the odds for game 3 now, there is a shift, Bucks at 1.65 now, and Celtics at 2.16. Almost the same with the other as the games are moving on the home court of the opposing team.

I'm not saying though that the Bucks is the favorite to win in this series but yes the Boston Celtics were the favorite to win before the series started but when the Bucks defeated them on the 1st game even if Middleton wasn't around, the air suddenly changed direction and there's a lot of fans as well as bettors that have thought that the Bucks will have a 2-0.

Haven't imagine that Brooks will go for something like that, he was just ejected and there's no news if he's suspended for the entire series or season because it was clear that he used brute force to commit an intentional foul on Gary Payton II. Now he is injured and probably cannot play even if the Warriors can made it to the Finals. That was really a dirty play and Kerr was right that he broke the code, but I don't seriously think that the whole Grizzlies team planned for it.

I admit I really don't dare, and if that shooting percentage doesn't come back then I think it will never ever, and back to the old relying on Luka Doncic, again for the Mavericks while the Phoenix Suns, will surely have a sweep when the Dallas Maverick wouldn't do a thing about that, and apparently, Luka Doncic doesn't always have the answer to the Mavericks problems, likely this could end up in a sweep just like what happened to the Brooklyn Nets,


The Mavericks should act as a team and not just carry the team on 1 player's shoulders it could be tough for Jalen Brunson to spread his performance to another level but if they learn how to act like a team, I really think they can have a fighting chance against the Phoenix Suns, they have the super all-star Luka Doncic and not treat him as a reliable tool to always just give him the ball and hope for the best the Phoenix Suns have seen this play before the Dallas Mavericks needs a new and better strategy to face the Phoenix Suns next game because if not a sweep will likely to happen.

Very crucial if Mavs will play that same system from the last 2 games, letting Luka to carry the all load, it will be tough and

a possible 4-0 swept from the Suns, Brunson needs to step up, just like thee way he did from round one series, he should be more aggressive to find

his rhythm. His contributions will be the big factor in winning a game against the Suns, and also, they need to adjust to the defense.

they need to be closer and not to allow Suns shooters to keep throwing high percentage shots.

Jazz has this firepower but not as a team instead as individual talents,

Unlike with the Suns, point god Paul always orchestrating the play and Booker the killer is always on the run to take his kill.
It's a very different team that Mavs is facing right now.

They need to adjust. Coach Kidd should rotate the ball and not to let Luka handle it most of the time. Even he is a great star
he can't carry it alone.

Brunson who averaged over 20 points in the 1st round series is very much limited so far in the last 2 games.
They have a very bad shooting percentage, except for Luka, will that change in game 3 and the Mavericks will have at least 1 win or will even the series?

Taking the mavs is quite scary after seeing the last 2 games. 

Would you dare?
