Weren't the 64 win Suns suppose to dominate the Mavericks? I don't know if we can predict this season.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
I wonder if this the worst Game 7 doubleheader ever. Couple of very disappointing games for those of us who didn't have a dog in these fights
NOBODY could have forseen this...

Among The Sporting News predictions for this season back in October:
Zion Williamson leads the league in scoring
Steve Nash is coach of the year
Brooklyn tops the East; the Lakers top the West; Brooklyn wins it all
Giannis is MVP

Very excited as I am a HUGE Celtics fan who is from Boston. The Heat will give a good fight but I see the Celtics in 5 or 6. Wow the Bucks are a great team and are very tough, they just did not show up today. As for the Suns vs Mavs...I am stunned. I understand the Mavs beat the Suns 3-1 in the regular season but this is the playoffs and the Suns were at home. Basically everyone picked the Suns. It just goes to show you sometimes home court is nothing when it comes to the better team. Chris Paul limping away seconds after the loss. Give it a break buddy no one is buying the act. Next it will be the refs. Love Paul but he is a bully who loves to cry. Love Booker but again did not show up. Luka is just that good and will be a top 3 star very soon. I am happy for the Mavs. What is it about #1 seed and home court again? Ya nothing. That's why the Celtics will beat the Heat.
Now the Mavs Warriors will be interesting. I will pick the Warriors right away just because of experience and having Steph alone. I do believe the Mavs have a good chance though.
If I had to call it now I am saying Warriors vs Celtics in the finals. Again, I am a huge huge huge Celtics fan but I believe that the Warriors and the experience alone will get them the title in the end. My God I hope I am wrong. I want the Celtics to win it so bad but seeing the Warriors and Steph in the finals is scary. No one predicted the Celtics would make it to the ECF and actually be as good as they are. The Celtics are a very good basketball team. The defense alone is what has got them here. Then you add Tatum getting hot in any game...BOOM they have a chance to win a championship. I am just not saying they will (yet) beat the Warriors in the finals.
Now with that all said I am calling it right now...next year with a healthy team the Celtics are winning a title in 2023.

One man's predictions for the conference finals:
EAST: Heat over Celtics in seven. People are sleeping on Miami who were the number one seed for a reason. The Heat doesn't have a superstar, but they're a team, and that means a lot
WEST: Warriors over Mavericks in six. Dallas' 3-1 regular season slate against Golden State means nothing in the postseason. Betting against Curry, Klay and Draymond is a fool's errand

Yes, the Heat are a "team"...but the Celtics are as well and they can move the ball much better than the Heat. Being the #1 seed and home court means nothing in my opinion going forward outside of the actual championship finals. The Heat have played under the radar for awhile now and I believe they like it that way. Honestly if it was anyone outside of the Celtics right now, I would be picking the Heat but there is no way its going to game 7. The Celtics are going to the finals. Every player on that team is making an impact much more than all of the players on the Heat including Butler.
I agree with you on the Warriors just can bet against them. With that said I would have said the same with the Suns going into this last series against the Mavs.
Going to be a fun few weeks of basketball no matter who wins. I am excited.

The NFL comes to mind after watching these 7 game series. It's funny how a team can completely dominate another one game, and then collapse the next. If you just look at yesterday, you would say the Mavs were just so much better than the Suns. But we know the Suns were stronger in other games.
But in the NFL we just get the one game. When one team wins big we say they were a much better team. But isn't it that they were just better that day? Of course it's the day that counts, but another day, it might have gone the other way.
The regular season bears this out.
