I think Orlando will level the series today, you can take the win for an approximate odds of 1.55
 
What was the biggest surprise for you in the first round of the playoffs? The elimination of the Milwaukee Bucks or the Los Angeles Clippers in this round? Most analysts claimed that these teams would easily pass the first round. However, injuries to the leaders made themselves felt

The only surprise for me so far was the Bucks falling. But that was due to injuries more so than something else.

I was surprised by Philly's elimination, to be honest. A healthy Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey played with the Knicks without Julius Randle. In particular, I was surprised by the very high quality play of Josh Hart. 🤔

Minnesota played big in the home of the Champion and got a surprise victory for me.
Analysts probably guess well that this duel would even be suitable for the final.

The score between these teams is 2-1 in favor of Minnesota. So who do you think will win this matchup? I think Anthony Edwards and his team will lose. Denver just has a very strong offense and the Joker will do everything to take the second championship cup in a row. Anyway, it will be interesting to watch.

Even with a score of 3-3, I wouldn't dare to guess who will win the duel.
When the series started, I would have bet on Minnesota's sweep, but now that Denver has won one, the 7-game series could be a chance.

Today's game between Denver and Minnesota was just unreal. No one could stop Anthony Edwards, and as a result, Minnesota won with a score of 115-70. It's been a long time since the last year's champion lost with such a score. And now there will be a seventh game, and I don't know who will win, but I'm rooting for the joker's team

What Minnesota did tonight! It was a complete break when the advantage reached 50 points! We are waiting for the 7th match, it will be very interesting🙂
 
In addition, Denver was very unfocused today and they didn't get anything done, I think only one of Murray's first 10 throws was successful, and the other Denver players weren't much better, which explains why Denver had so few points.
I also expect Denver to win in Game 7, but Edwards is brilliant regardless.

That was a shocking game 7, but it shows that Jokic and Murray can't win the game on their own. The bench has to step up and the supporting players have to contribute. Good job to the TWolves.

It was unbelievable, Gobert also did a great job at Wolves, you can only congratulate them.

The Denver Nuggets ran out of gas! Jokic was bent over gasping for air on many occasions.

Celtics win wild Game 1 versus Indiana in OT. There will be plenty of scoring in this series!

Tonight, Luka Doncic scored the game-winning shot in the final seconds of the game, making the series 2-0 in favor of Dallas. Do you think Minnesota still has a chance to win?
 
It was a gentleman's sweep and we are in for a great series of Mavs vs. Celtics. What an awesome end to the season!

It's good that the Mavs ended the series quickly, so hopefully two rested and healthy teams will clash in the finals, I'm really looking forward to it.

Today, Dallas defeated Boston by 38 points and the series is now 3-1 in favor of the Green. Do you think Dallas still has a chance to win this final?
 
Boston went the easy way to the finals. Many opponents have injured players. Dallas can't stop team basketball. Everything is natural.

Boston also didn't have Kristaps Porzingis play most of their games in the Playoffs either. He played 4 games against Miami, missed the entire series against the Cavaliers and Indiana and played 2.5 games against Dallas. Well the fact that he's very important to the Celtics, I think that's obvious. 🤔
 
As much as I don't like the Celtics, the current group is actually quite good and their leading duo (Tatum and Brown) got the job done, with the help of former Bucks player Holiday who I think made all the difference for them. Good for them.
