The Cavaliers may have delivered the knockout blow in Wednesday’s Game 2 thrashing. If the Hawks don’t get off the mat for Friday’s game, they just might experience a four-game sweep by Cleveland for the second straight year.You can bet on NBA odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
You might say the Miami Heat had to win Game 1 twice after blowing a six-point lead late in the fourth and surviving a half-court heave that sent the game into overtime. Toronto’s all-star backcourt continues to struggle and even one miracle on Tuesday wasn’t enough to guarantee victory.You can bet on NBA odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
The Trail Blazers may have just missed their best shot to take down the Golden State Warriors. For more than 40 minutes on Tuesday Portland had the defending champs on the ropes with a chance at a stunning upset. They couldn’t hold on and know may have to deal with soon-to-be two-time MVP Stephen Curry....
The Hawks gave it their best shot and still came up short against the Cavaliers in Game 1. That’s nothing new. Cleveland has now won eight straight over Atlanta, including a sweep in last year’s Eastern Conference Final.You can bet on NBA odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
Close games and a long series will likely benefit the younger Thunder. They accomplished both of those on Monday with a surprising win in Game 2, handing San Antonio just its second home loss of the season. With the series tied at 1-1, the Thunder look to seize control playing on their home floor....
The second round of the NBA playoffs has just begun, and though we don't have any amazing shocks to discuss yet, there have been plenty of twists and turns in the plot which have changed the NBA futures odds and the odds to win the NBA championship dramatically....
Toronto won a seven-game series for the first time by knocking off Indiana on Sunday. It didn’t come easy as the ghosts of postseasons past nearly caught up with them. But it’s off to the second-round for the Raptors and maybe now they can exhale before hosting the Heat in Game 1 of the East semifinal....
No Stephen Curry, no problem for the Golden State Warriors. Without the soon-to-be two-time MVP, the Warriors throttled the Blazers in the series opener 118-106 on Sunday. Meanwhile, the rest of the Warriors seem intent on doing whatever is in their power to convince Curry not to rush back....
It’s hard to expect any team to play as well as San Antonio did in Game 1 for two consecutive contests. But the Spurs aren’t just any team. Simply ask the Thunder, who were obliterated on Saturday night. We normally don’t call the second of a seven-game series a must-win. But it just might be for OKC....
There’s been an underlying question to the Raptors’ record-breaking season: can they win a playoff series? They have one last game to provide an answer. The series and the pressure return to Toronto for a winner-take-all Game 7 after the Pacers extended their season with a convincing win on Friday....
Miami staved off elimination and forced a Game 7 back in their joint on Sunday. With their season on the line, wily veteran Dwyane Wade took over, performing his best LeBron James impersonation of past Heat postseason games. Miami will again lean on their ace to snatch a series victory....
The real postseason is about to get underway. The Spurs and Thunder easily dispatched their first-round opponents, winning their games by an average of better than 22 points per game. The opening round was just a formality in advance of this Game 1 showdown between the second- and third-seeded teams in the West....
Prior to Game 4, the Clippers were considered favorites in this first-round series and a strong contender to defeat the Curry-less Golden State Warriors in the next round. Instead, Los Angeles was forced to face harsh new realities and the likelihood of an early exit at the hand of the Trail Blazers....
It was a bad time for the Heat to see its eight-game home winning streak end. Charlotte claimed perhaps the biggest win in its history, knocking off Miami in Game 5 and can close out its first postseason series win since 2002 with a victory on Friday....
The Pacers have to get over the meltdown in their Game 5 loss in order to extend this series to a seventh game. For the first time in their history, the Raptors won a playoff game when trailing by double digits to take a 3-2 lead. But the Raptors have never won a best-of-seven series and this one isn’t over yet....
Boston lost the postseason scoring leader when Isaiah Thomas injured his ankle in the fourth quarter of Tuesday’s Game 5 loss. The Celtics may have lost the series, too. If Thomas isn’t playing his best, the Celtics aren’t either. The Hawks have a glorious chance to end the series, but a win in Boston isn’t a given....
To explain why this best-of-seven series is now tied at 2-2 heading back to Miami for Game 5 on Wednesday, look no further than Monday’s backcourt breakdown. Charlotte guards Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lin combined for 55 points. Miami’s starting backcourt committed nine turnovers. But Dwyane Wade likes the Heat’s chances back in south beach....
The game, the series, and Portland’s playoff hopes all changed in an instant during the third quarter of Monday night’s game. With Clippers’ guard Chris Paul angrily leaving the court with a broken hand, the first-round series just got plenty interesting....
Toronto’s playoff demons returned. With a chance to take a commanding lead in the series, the Raptors stumbled on Saturday, losing on the Pacers’ home floor, turning the best-of-seven into a best-of-three. At least the second-seed Raptors have the homecourt edge, but that means they have to win on it....
Golden State took advantage of its opponent’s injury problems last season while winning the title. Now, the Warriors have to hope Stephen Curry’s injury isn’t too serious. They didn’t appear panicked in Sunday’s blowout of Houston, but there certainly is some anxiety moving forward....
A stirring comeback on Sunday got Boston even, reducing the series to a best-of-three. The Celtics have to win once on the road and they’ll get a chance Tuesday in Game 5. This was never going to be a sweep for the Hawks, but they should feel letdown after squandering numerous opportunities in Beantown....
The sooner the series between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks is over, the sooner tensions will settle down between these two. Kevin Durant has been involved in so many shenanigans that he legitimately could find himself suspended for Game 5 of this series, especially after getting tossed for a Flagrant 2 foul at the end of Game 4....
The Trail Blazers snapped their five-game losing streak to the Clippers in Game 3 after pulling out the 96-88 victory as short 1-point underdogs. A ton of energy was put into that win, so it’s reasonable to wonder whether the home team will have more left in the tank to get the best of CP3 and his mates to even this series up....
The last time the Charlotte Hornets won a playoff game, they were really the Charlotte Hornets. Now, the franchise which was formerly known as the Charlotte Bobcats has its first postseason victory.Can the artists formerly known as the Bobcats build on that win and make this a series with the Miami Heat? We'll find out on Monday night....
The Detroit Pistons are sort of like the Marco Rubio of the NBA. Just like Rubio, the Pistons have been able to hang around with the Cleveland Cavaliers. But just as Rubio ultimately couldn't win any states in the Republican primaries and was constantly second best to Donald Trump, the Pistons haven't ultimately won anything against Cleveland. And now, just as Rubio had to take his name out of consideration for the POTUS, Detroit will have to bow out of the NBA playoffs if it can't win for the f...
