And just like that, Trae and Murray combined for 57 big points and Trae just 1 short of assists for a double double. So they cut the lead of the Celtics to 1-2 now and so this series became more interesting that we have thought.

They still need John Collins to produce big numbers though, they can't just rely on Trae Young and Murray every night.

Although Bogdanović and Saddiq Bey also has great numbers, Collins need to step up in his game and show his dominance in the low post.

I agree, there is certainly no need for them to hold down next game because they just have to win the Game 4 so that they can have an early rest and prepare for the winner of the Celtics vs Hawks match-up. This might be a sweep, no need to make it longer because just like what you said mate, the Sixers are just too much for the Nets to deal with. The same with Nuggets vs Wolves, the latter just can't keep up with the #1 seed and a sweep is likely imminent.

You want news. I'll give some news regarding who's in and who's out.

Kawhi Leonard will be out in Game 4 because of the same injury. When the time comes that they needed him the most, he can't contribute to the team. PG13 is out, now he is out. There might be a chance that the Clippers might be losing in 5 games. Yes they played well in Game 3 without Kawhi, but can they do it again in Game 4? Take note that they're up against a team who has 4 all-star players. I don't know, but I've got a feeling that they will lost in 5 games. Kawhi is a very unreliable superstar.

Joel Embiid will be out as well in Game 4 because of an injury. The reason that I've seen in the internet is that he fell so many times in that Game 3 win against the Nets that he got injured. Well, they're up 3-0 so losing in Game 4 wouldn't hurt them that much so... yeah maybe giving him time to rest as well.

As for the Raptors, after giving them one title, they're firing him. Well, I don't know who will they pick as their next coach as there are no candidates yet.

They destroyed my Parlay bet. I won against the Knicks, and the Hawks, and I thought that they will also win on their home even they're up against the top seeded Nuggets, but I was wrong.

Timberwolves have a great roster I agree, but injuries on some of their role players affected them so bad. McDaniels had a hand injury (which is unnecessary), Reid got one as well. Both of them are great role players, and Gobert who they got in arguably the worst trade of all time in NBA history isn't performing that good as well. I mean he's playing way better back when he's still in the Jazz. Now he's averages are lower, and he didn't enter the all-star as well. I just hope that the Timberwolves management are ok.

They are now down 0-3, and I don't also think that they can win Game 4 TBH knowing how good the Nuggets are.

Good win by the Knicks vs the Cavs. Brunson started slow, but he got the fire late to lead the team with his 21 points. Brunson acquisition was the biggest for this year in my opinion. Now we see them in the playoff and then the Mavs, booted out.

RJ Barrett as well has a good shooting night, actually even really contributed in this game, Josh Hart, Randle, quiet by effective, Toppin with those corner 3's in the 3rd quarter, Quickley and Robinson. Overall it was a good game by the Knicks and the Cavs has no answer except for Mitchell and Levert and Darius Garland.

Thanks mate!
Those are big news for these teams. Kawhi needs to take rest for a while and let's see if they can do it without him on the game 4.
It's most likely that it's not going to be a win for them but then, they need to overcome this challenge or else they'll give Suns the momentum. However, it's expected that Suns will take this series.

Nah, Timberwolves have a great roster on paper, but with the kind of game they're showing since the regular season just can't win a playoff series, especially against the Nuggets who have been a great playoff team since 2020. The Nuggets are just too efficient and also have a good depth and bench so there's no way the Wolves are winning against them.
The 2nd round would way too interesting as most probably it will be the Suns and Nuggets are gonna face each other to advance to the conference semis. With Leonard out in game 4, the Suns are gonna take a commanding 3-1 lead and most likely gonna end the series in game 5.
I might be wrong here, but either of these team will advance to the Finals. GSW, Kings, Memphis or the Lakers will have a lower chances against those 2 teams. 

That's who Memphis always has been just like last years playoffs.  They go hard.  I actually can't believe they are such a dog in this game.  They are getting 4.5 points.  It's going to be hard laying off them.  Lakers are hit or miss.  They need to have a lot of things come together to come our of this series.

Now it's even but not that literally even win it comes to standing because the Sixers are just one win away from sweeping the Nets and be the first team to advance in the second round. The Nets are good, I'd give them that because after the trade, they still managed to hold their position and still clinched a playoff spot, but the caliber of their players aren't that good against the other teams in the playoffs right now. I'd say that they are just lucky to be in the first round but that's it.

Yes, the remaining roster of the LA Clippers isn't really playing bad and they are doing everything they can just to keep the team afloat while their stars are gone but it's just that the Phoenix Suns are quite too much for them especially if the Big Four are present.

Few hours from now, Game 4 will begin and sad to say, Kawhi Leonard is ruled out in the game while PG is said to miss the whole first round. Or should I say the whole post season because without him and Kawhi, the Clippers are in a dangerous spot.
