But still, that was a great game for both teams. IMO, it's not choke but it's exhaustion that got them missing all the shots. 52 minutes playtime is not a joke and this is what became the problem of the Nets. Only 7 of the Nets roster played the game, I think Coach Nash may have been too much to them.
It's not how winning teams do it. Phil Jackson never did it to Jordan or Kobe, they need to learn trusting their team mates while they charge more energy to be explosive when they go back in.
Applaud to Tucker for bringing his mental defensive awareness that gave KD a difficult time the whole game before he was fouled out.

I like how Tucker , Middleon and Holiday switching over to play against KD, they might be small but aggressive enough to push him, 52 mins of competitions with players who keep challenging you is not an easy task.

Giannis have much deeper help from those players who gives him some minutes of rest, while KD push everything trying to win the game.

Not good but he needs to do things like this, Coach Nash should  the one who adjust and give him some minutes not just the timeout but a quality minutes to talk to him and give some good guide while watching the team playing.

I'm "anesthetized", i can't believe the nets lost. They were favorite for the title along with the Lakers.
But the victory was to the Bucks' credit.

I think this season will go down in history, a lot of players got injured, in regular season and playoffs.
Also, Lakers and Nets who were favorites for the title were eliminated.

My question is, will CP3 be able to play in game 4 or maybe in game 3???
The Suns have the advantage, because unfortunately Kawhi Leonard was injured

The last game of Philadelphia - Atlanta series is today. It has been really hell of a series. In my opinion, 76ers will manage to promote to the conference finals and be the opponent of Bucks.

Things really changed for the Nets when Irving was down, it's not for them this season, hopefully, next season they'll all be healthy. Also, we did not see the contribution of the 3 point shooters of the Nets like Harris, he seemed to be struggling starting game 3 of the series.


This should be a fun series to watch, it's an even match up and I'm sure the only advantage on both are their home court advantage on every game.

Hi guys, here is my bet for today:

Phoenix Suns - LA Clippers - x1,57: My bet

In my humble opinion, the Phoenix have absolutely all chances of winning the Game 1 of the series against the Clippers. There are enough reasons: Phoenix had 6 days to rest and prepare for the prospective opponent. Moreover, the fact that the Clippers could become their rivals was already becoming clear after the Game 5. Although Mann played excellently in the Game 6, I think that the same game is unlikely to be shown again. Therefore, I will not say for the entire series, where the Clippers can still show themselves, but Game 1 should be for the Phoenix today.

5 days is not the longest vacation, but it is very profitable to rest a little and prepare well for your opponent. I have nothing against the Clippers (an objective assessment only), in Game 6 I was stunned when I saw how many 3pts were shot by Mann, but here we must not forget that this could be a one-time success for him. Therefore, I will not guess, everything will become clear very soon.

If the first two series is the basis, I am betting it will be another 2-0 lead by the Suns. And JEFE92 is right, Suns are well rested vs the clippers who have just a day rest and needs to adjust to Suns game play. That is a large factor to consider. But I disagree that Mann is just a one-time success. The man is very active on the floor but this time he is getting feed with the ball. Without Kawhi, I think he will step up again on the next games.

Clippers without Kawhi and having tough match against match will surely having a hard time against Suns. I know that Paul George is good player that can carry his team mate but I loss faith on him after he suffer a major injury before. Suns player is young and on fire plus Chris Paul which is a consistent veteran play maker. Suns has the best shot on this season.

Again Middleton have a great performance and Lopez, this is what I'm saying the last time that if these two players will have a good game, they are going to beat the nets, because Middleton have great moments before in winning a game, and Lopez use his length in game 7 with those crucial blocks
but durant did his best to carry the team it's just not enough.
