After two defeats on the road, Dallas managed to bounce back on its court and even the score in the series with Phoenix - 2-2, a comeback that no one seems to have expected, and the Suns players themselves did a lot for this. They defended very poorly on the perimeter, which gave the Mavericks a whopping 20 long shots, setting the franchise record for most 3s in a playoff half. It also played into the hands of Dallas that Chris Paul was sent off for too many fouls at the beginning of the fourth quarter, earning a sixth personal fouls. Now we are waiting for at least 6 matches and I'm sure the fight will be intense.

Dallas won which did not surprise, but Miami was knocked out and so the 76ers are in an unexpected resurrection.
That, in turn, is a little surprising to me.
The Sixers got Embiid back, who seems to be playing alright despite having a broken face and a torn thumb ligament. Harden also suddenly chose to start playing the way he was known for playing. Meanwhile, the Heat is playing very cold. They can't hit buckets when it counts.

NBA Playoff Wednesday:
Boston - Milwaukee (5.m.) (Over 107.5 (National teams - Score 107.5) 1.61)

It’s also a completely unpredictable duel for me, so I’d only guess Boston’s points, which will be maybe 108+ points at home.

Sport is a series of accidents and ridiculous mistakes, so it is impossible to predict. One can only guess.

Milwaukee +5.5 @ Boston - I see a very physical Game 5 - Giannis with a triple double

Memphis +4 @ Home vs Golden St. - Warriors are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Memphis

Memphis/Golden St. OVER 218.5 - Over is 13-3 in Grizzlies last 16 playoff games as a underdog

Nikola Jokic became MVP for the second time in a row! Jokic became the first NBA player to score over 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 500 assists in a single season. Beating the current Golden State is not an easy task, especially for a team that Jokic drags alone. Therefore, another result, given the current alignment of forces, could not be expected. Be that as it may, at the end of the regular season, Nicola was incredible. He deservedly gets his second in a row.

Memphis waded the Warriors very roughly to 134:95, so thus the player who scored the most points for the Grizzlies scored 21 points (but the three of them did) was a great team job.

...

I think, today Miami will end the duel today and win...

...but rather I'm going with a point tip:
Philadelphia - Miami (6.m.) (Over 101.5 (Away team - Score 101.5) 1.62)

Philadelphia - Miami (6.m.) (Over 101.5 (Away team - Score 101.5) 1.62)

Miami ended the duel with a tough defense and few points. Too bad 99 points was enough for that, so the 101+ point tip is trash.
The Warriors went further.
The exciting 7th final match could come tomorrow in Boston.

Boston has a psychological advantage because they equalized at 3:3 and are playing the 7th game at home. Giannis will need the MVP form so that the Bucks can win.

I'm just guessing, but I think the Bucks should go above 101+ points at least to have a chance at anything:
Boston - Milwaukee (7.m.) (Over 100.5 (Guest team - 100.5) 1.63)

Yes- great playing all season and well deserved. Embiid is 2nd in my opinion.

Now that was the "NO SHOW" in a big game Chris Paul that I know. Suns should have won that series. I turned it on when I saw Dinwiddie making 3s early and I knew it was going to be over.

GSW should be able to handle DAL and BOS should handle MIA but we'll see.

They were crazy :eek: matches. Boston has found the antidote to the Bucks very well. Milwaukee missed Middleton very much.
In the other match, Cameron Johnson is the player who scores the most points for Pheonix, with 12 points, which reveals it all.
Paul and Booker didn't seem to be on the field in the first half.
Dallas was overwhelming, I look forward to continuing. :)

Personally, it was painful for me to watch the Suns - they smeared shots that usually hit, gave terrible passes, and throughout the game they never took the lead. This despite the fact that the seventh decisive meeting was home for the team. The main component of the success of "Dallas" was, perhaps, the game on the defensive. Wards Jason Kidd worked for five plus. In general, Dallas won an easy victory and reached the Western Conference Finals, but further than the Golden State Warriors.

By the way, excellent statistics of Dallas - Luka Doncic scored a double-double - 35 points and 10 rebounds. Spencer Dinwiddie posted his career high in the playoffs with 30 points, and Jaylen Brunson, who opened up in the second half, added 24 more.

NBA Tuesday:
Miami - Boston (1.m.) (Boston (Match Winner) 1.99)

If power remained in Boston after the Bucks game, the momentum could continue now.

Miami -2 (v Boston). Smart may not play. Miami defense creates their offense.

Smoothly won Miami, Butler went big.
Yesterday, Golden State left no chance for Dallas.
I hope there will be no smooth duels.

Thursday:
Miami - Boston (2.m.) (Over 102.5 (Away team - Score 102.5) 1.81)

I hope Boston still goes over 100+ points today.
