Topic: Your NBA Champion this season? - page 19. (Read 4271 times)

I would be much comfortable believing that Bucks would be in the ECF if Bucks did not blow out their lead in their last game. Now, the series between Bucks and Cetics are on a best of 3 only, if Bucks will beat the Celtics at home, then most likely we can expect that will happen.

For the East, this scenario below would be possible.

76ers beat heat in game 5 and 6 = semi finals Winner
Bucks beat Celtics in game 5 and 6 = semi finals winner

Now that Embiid seems to be healthy enough to carry the 76ers, I wouldn’t put it past them to make it to the Finals. I like the Embiid/Giannis matchup and hope we get to see them in the Eastern Conference Finals. Also hoping we see a Warriors/Suns matchup in the West. I like Embiid and the Sixers though. I think they’ve got a decent shot at winning it all if Embiid can continue getting healthier. I really feel like the Bucks/Sixers/Warriors are the only teams left capable of winning the championship at this point with the Bucks still being the defending champions and team to beat.

Same here, I also cannot honestly give some opinion on if the Mavericks is really already that ahead of the Suns. The series is still tied and there's still room for the Suns to answer back and bounce back after getting defeated twice in a row. I won't deny that the Mavericks are really threatening the Suns position here but the latter team won't surely back down that easily especially for what have happened on Game 4.

Actually, it's not that surprising anymore if they win this season because they are also very competent let alone they now have a lethal big three who mostly scores deep threes anywhere outside the paint, but that fact alone cannot be a factor that they can win this season because there are also other teams that is hard to defeat as they have some defensive players whereas the GSW do not have.

Green is good in defense, it's just that he is not suitable to be a center because his strengths won't be much effective. I really agree that they have to have a dominant big man in the center.

Warriors win twice at home the series now 3-1, Memphis needs to win at home to extend this series. Else, Warriors will finish them and take

some good rest before moving to WCF. All teams are aiming to have a home court advantage and take extra time doing drills and practices for

much competitive game plan. We saw experienced against young teams earlier. Even GSW was down most of the time to that huge rally to win

the game is something that really brings the entertainment fans love to watch, the warmed support boosts the players' confidence.

I can't comment on that since, in those 2 lost games by the Suns, they didn't show their 100% performance. If only they gave their 100% and still lose, I can conclude that Dallas Mavericks are really ahead of them.

Returning from home, Phoenix Suns will do everything to take the lead in this series. However, I'm with the Mavericks to win.

If let's say the Suns will lose here, there will be more critics of Chris Paul about being a choker in playoffs, as always.

Well... I've been analyzing some games and I noticed that some teams don't seem to be having the performance I was imagining they would, which in this case would be the Phoniex Suns!!

Do you believe that after the Mavs' victory over the Suns yesterday, it shows how weak or fragile the Phoenix team is?

I would be quite surprise if Warriors could win the title. Of course they are a great team and they have Curry but I just feel like they are missing something from being a champion team. But on the other hand, if their big 3 -Poole, Klay and Curry- performs as much as or even better than expected, then they have a shot. Still, they are lacking a strong and dominant big man. By the way, I like Draymond Green a lot but I think they are still lacking a more over-all big man to become biggest champion contender. If they match with Bucks in the finals, I don't think they will be the favourite of that series.

I guess the Phoenix Suns have done what they can the actuality that the Suns can win that game has a huge possibility if not because of Chris Paul's foul out trouble, the Suns really badly needed, the offense and smarts of both Devin Booker, and Chris Paul, but that has shatter when CP3 has trouble with his fouls, he is not playing the same as in their first game when Booker was still injured, and this time his anger intensifies when a Fan from the Dallas Mavericks hold his mother, and pushes his wife, almost bullying his family inside the court, maybe that can be a fuel for him to win their next game,


I also think the Milwaukee Bucks or the Golden State Warriors can take on the championship, 1st the Milwaukee Bucks, don't have Chris Middleton, but they are advancing and winning against the defensive team the Boston Celtics, with the intense play of Giannis Antetokounmpo the Boston Celtics is failing to defend against Antetokounmpo, and Giannis is always penetrating their defense, so much and Boston Celtics offense was stopped by the defense of the Bucks, so I think the Bucks could win this and really advance,

While the Golden State Warriors, during the injury of Gary Payton II that have fueled Stephen Curry to bring the rain down on the Grizzlies, I admit Ja Morant is a monster to face, but with the effort of defense on the Warriors they somehow manage to lessen Ja Morant's attack, and they surely give their effort on the Splash trio to gain momentum with three-point plays, or a run and gun kind of play, adding to their great defense of Draymond Green, Kevon Looney, and Otto Porter Jr. I think this will continue, and Ja Morant is not in his 100% at the moment I think this can be an opportunity for them to finish off the Grizzlies,

I'm sure the 2022 NBA's strongest champions will be either the Bucks or the Warriors, both teams are playing solidly this season.

This season's warriors are very different from last season, they look different, look more healthy and scary, the Bucks are also relatively the same and a little more relaxed, not too aggressive, Although the Bucks for the NBA are classified as defending champions, it is possible that the 2022 NBA champions could turn for the Warriors.

I'm sure both their Warriors & Bucks teams will both defend the NBA championship this season, seeing their chances are better day by day and before.

Locals really played well and contributed to the team. It's no longer Luka alone, but the whole squad really improves their productions. If they can continue doing this same intensity, they can beat the Suns at home, but if they again fail to compete moving back to Phoenix, the chance will be slim.

Suns, on the other hand, will try to find the best remedy to counter this rally from the Mavs, let see if how things will work out for them

or if they will allow Mavs to continue winning games from them.

Yes, Dallas even the series, and it was all a dominant win by them.

Odds have changed again, with the loss of the Phoenix Suns, Warriors are now back to the number 1.

warriors 3.15
suns 3.90
bucks 5.50

Well, the situation really changed quite a bit since a week ago, everything is very, very even as I had already said, but I didn't expect such a fight in some keys.

Dallas surprise me.

I see that many have become strong locals, but we'll see how it goes

That's possible of course, but even if Tatum's performance was not good, they still almost win the game. Game 4 is very important for the Celtics if they want to win, they need to even the series and everyone must step up, one might struggle but they should help each other as a team.

Tatum last performance was not good, that's why now they are behind in this series and it could be 3-1 the next game as it is still going to be played at Bucks home court. So it they want to avoid to be down, they should woke up and win the next game to even up the series because it's hard to go win when you are down 3-1 in a series. So we will see what kind of adjustments Tatum will do, as they are the obvious underdogs now.

Boston is already showing there signature move which is choking on playoffs especially if they are fighting with strong team despite they have the advantage on the early stage of playoffs. They are losing whenever Jayson Tatum is not performing well which only means they are too relyin on him which is there greatest weakness when Tatum can’t do anything to answer back the aggression of Giannis in this match. I think Bucks completely got this series.

Yup, that's still not a guarantee that the Boston Celtics will indeed hailed as the NBA Champion this season because every round they survive they will face another much heavier opponent but I'm just saying that they have been impressive these past several weeks as they have made the favorite teams to struggle.

Same here, if I were to choose between GSW and Heat, I would honestly say GSW.

I think it's still not a guarantee, even though for example later the Celtics will indeed be a team that advances to the semifinals but still it's not a guarantee that the Celtics will become champions this season. Because at the moment they are still in a draw and in fact, their winning and losing points are not much different so of course the Bucks will not be easy to beat as the champion team last season. I'm personally considering the two teams between the Golden State Warriors and the Miami Heat, but my choice is strong on the Golden State Warriors for NBA champions this season.

You have a point but the Celtics have been impressive since they suddenly clinched before the regular season have ended and until they swept the Brooklyn Nets on the 1st round, and now they have been giving the Bucks a hard time to get a win because of their defensive style especially Marcus Smart and Jayson Tatum. Yes, let's see what would be the response of the Bucks.

Might be tough for them but they needed to snatch 1 win on the road because the Warriors have done it on their own homecourt but yes, that will be challenge for them as the Warriors are known to produce big numbers at the Chase Center, it's already proven! By the way, Brooks is suspended on Game 3 and Adams will probably return on Game 3.
