That might be the case if Joel Embiid is just 100% healthy. It doesn't mean the Sixers will win the series but at least they can give Miami Heat a close competition on who will enter the Conference Finals. About James Harden, really expect some questions about his playoffs performance because people used to see him as consistent in having good playoffs stats even before.

Feel bad for Embiid. He always put his heart into every game and really serious about winning. One of the emotional players I have seen in an event of a painful loss. I think it's time now for Embiid to erase that loyalty as I'm sure he won't get any championship on Sixers.

Joel Embiid is the only one there who has the "Trust the process" mindset and I don't see anyone else having the same thinking.

I thought Celtics will choke again like what happened in game 5 when Bucks cuts it to four in Q4 but Tatum really stepped up to keep the lead up. Although his teammates couldn't contribute well in the scoring, they did well to defend.

Another 40+ points from Giannis but he's too tired to do anything in the final five minutes. Imagine scoring almost half of the total team's score (44 out of 95)

Yeah, I remember last game, in a blink of an eye, the Bucks take the lead and won the game. But the good thing is that the Celtics learn from that mistakes and Tatum come true in clutch. As for the Bucks, it was Giannis but it was evident that he can't play like this every game. He need someone to back him up and in this game, no one. Holiday? nah, this kind of situation is very evident that they really need Middleton.

What's your parlay bet on the upcoming do or die matches on Monday?

Suns & Bucks for me then Warriors vs Bucks in the NBA finals.  

The Celtics would've won Game 5 if they aren't allowing the Bucks offensive rebounds. If you will look at some highlights, you will see 4-5 Celtics players watching the ball as they rebound and this is a perfect opportunity for the Bucks to get offensive rebounds. 17 offensive rebounds? That is their mistake on that game and its good that they bounced back in Game 6 and they forced a Game 7 and right now, they have a bit of an advantage because of its their home.

I will still go with the Celtics with this one. Giannis scored 44 points and 20 rebounds but there isn't that much help offensively from other players or maybe lets also add the fact that he only shot 14/30 with 2/3 in 3pt. area. For me that's inefficient knowing that Giannis mostly shoots inside the paint. Help from other players offensively is needed if they want to steal one in the road and win against the Celtics or else they will lose. Don't focus on Giannis too much offensively and give chance to other players to shoot. The Bucks has many three-point shooters. Allen, Holiday, Matthews, Connaughton and even Portis.

Now it gets confusing to pick who will be on the Finals.
Boston Celtics does surprising things and winning against the Bucks in their home proves that once again. It's not that the Bucks are lacking a defensive effort, it's there but Tatum is just better offensively just like how Giannis dominated them.

I will pass a parlay for team betting, I'd rather pick singles with good money on the line. Suns and Bucks too.

I agree, but I would go with the Celtics, I mean I'm with the bandwagon since they have defeated the Nets in the first round. So I wouldn't be surprised if they caught the Bucks in game 7 and defeated them with a huge lead.

As for the West, Suns still, love what has Luka did to Mavs this year, but I think it will be the Suns vs GSW for the West and then Heat vs Celtics, that's just my prediction.

Whoever wins, we will continue to see interesting matchup in the upcoming WCF and ECF finals.

Both GSW and Miami Heat are waiting they understand the pressure, but they are not new to this place,
a former WCF and World Champ and an ECF Champ and World first placer.

Both are hunger to win and will do everything to take another shot to try winning the world title.
Still unknown if who among the 4 remaining teams will proceed to the next round.

This will certainly be a big challenge for the Suns this coming Game 7 if they can really defend this series against the Mavericks, they surely have some shortcomings on the last game especially Chris Paul but the way I see it, this time it will be carried by Luka and the rest of the roster. CP3 and the whole Suns roster have their chance last season but they blew it, if they can literally finish the finish on their side, they probably done it last time when they had a 2-0 run on the series but Luka have adjusted well that's why I can say that they will win this series.

Doing parlay is risky in a game where they end up both in decisive series.  Much better to do single pick at those teams who will fight for the semi-finals slots. That's the common approach as a bettor. Although to boost odds, nothing wrong if you will do a parlay if you really like to test your chances.

Did you do these bet on actual or just a simple statement prior the actual betting? Good luck on your bet especially including Bucks and Celtics at your parlay as their series don't have a technical analysis involved but rather, they are just doing their best to win.
