Wrong time for SGA to go cold, he only made 1 of his 6 attempts in the fourth quarter when they were trailing and then adding 3 turnovers to make it worse.

Nevertheless, it was a close game only that the breaks of the game favored Dallas in the last minutes and interesting to note that "hack a Lively" didn't work for the Thunder as Lively hit all the free throws awarded to him.

This series is playing out just like the regular season did. Both teams swept the other on the home teams court. If that's the case for this whole series, Denver loses in 7. Just a stat to keep in mind if you are betting.

If the Timberwolves will lose against the Nuggets tomorrow, I think I'll follow the pattern and bet on the road team in this series.
I'm just curious on what are the adjustments that the Timberwolves did to shut down the 2 superstars of the Nuggets. I think for Jokic, they can't stop him and nobody can stop him, but they can stop Murray and don't get his rhythm early on the game.

Celtics are cruising with a 16-point lead right now. Unless they choke in the fourth, they are taking the series lead. Somebody else in the Cavs needs to step up if they want to win game 3.

Wrong timing indeed, but anyway, it's a must win for the Thunder or else, they might lose to the Mavericks in 6 games. I mean at the start of the series, the Thunder has a higher chance to win based on some analysts. As for me, I'm also rooting for the Thunder, but with them lacking the experience, I will not be surprised if the Mavericks will win on this one.

As for the Celtics-Cavaliers, the Celtics manage to win on the road yet again. It seems like we've seen this kind of scenario already during the first round of the playoffs between the Celtics and the Heat. Do you think that it will be the same scenario this time? They will steal one on the road again and win on their home to clinch the East Finals?

Yeah, it also reminded of the series against the Heat. I don't think it will be different this time. It's only the team that changed but the result will be the same. It's like they already figured out the Cavs with the way things are going and there's nothing Mitchell (and co.) can do about it.

Personally I don't think anyone in the East will be able to stop the Celtics. NBA Finals IMO, but I think the teams in the West are too strong. Tatum just isn't consistent enough to carry the Celtics to a title.

Mothers Day massacre at Indianapolis is what people have been saying in game 4 and they're not lying. Too bad for the Knicks losing that way but we know they're underhanded.

Pacers vs. Knicks is looking like another series that whichever team has homecourt advantage, wins. It's the complete opposite of the Nuggets vs. Wolves series.

Too bad for the Knicks that they lose Anunoby to injury at this stage, he surely was missed by the Knicks. Going into game 5, the Pacers is the slight favorite to win this series as per local bookies that maybe due to the lose of Anunoby.

For the Wolves vs Nuggets series, seems to me that the Nuggets already have the template on how to beat the Wolves, feed Gordon on the paint.
