Play -OFF NBA: Forecasts of the game 7! Who wins the clippers hungry and soldiers-robes?

In the play -off of the NBA 2025, recently in the last time in the last round, he left him in the West – which brought a high drama throughout the season – to bring him home with two games 7 this weekend.

Nuggets against Clippers. Rockets against warriors. Who will advance? Our NBA writers make their elections, plus look at the semifinal matches of the East.

Ben Rorbach: Nuggets. The clippers is deeper, but the depth is not so important in the game 7 when the vacation is not an option. It is important who can be their best, and our money should be on Nikola Dzhokich. Clips protect it with the help of Aviki Zubak, a candidate from all protection, and still Yokich on average is 25-12-11 on executions of 51/45/70. I think that it can be even better, so I choose my legs.

Dan Devine: Nuggets. I went with nuggets in seven in front of the series, and I am not a coward, so I adhere to it. Another game of the Jokić-Murray monster, with the advantage of the house to close it.

Tom Habertstro: Clippers. I chose them to win the series, so I will go with them here again. I have to say that I am worried about James Harden’s career at 36% shooting from the floor in the game 7 (22 percent of the depths), but I think that the clippers found something in Nick Batum, using his smart and size to give Nicholas another look. I won’t be surprised if Tai Liu gives a 36-year start and will leave Chris Dunn on a bench for certain defensive matches. Bottom line: I trust Tai Liu in this place on David Adelman, who received work eight minutes ago.

Morten Stig Jensen: Nuggets, but I do not feel great. Game 7 is such shit. The emotions are high, the guys are nervous, and the pressure of the atmosphere, I can only imagine, absolutely nut. Thus, I must be too simplified and go with Denver, because he has the best player in sports.

Haberstroh: Warriors. I believe in Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Drading Green, who find out the line of two Big, who gave the team suitable for this series. Curry tore his heart from missiles in the game 7 on the road, and I think he can do it again. Warriors need him and Buddy Hilde to rain from the city center and force missiles to pay to become big.

Jensen: Warriors. Again, the game 7 is crazy. So there are many elements that should be taken into account. I hung a hat on the experience of Golden State, but, like in Denver, I do not feel great. The protection of Houston is legal, and it forces Stephen Curry every time he has to initiate simple actions. It will be a nail.

Devine: Warriors. Maybe I’m suckers, but I adhere to Golden STAT. I was incredibly impressed by the way the missiles played throughout this series … But I can’t shock that Stephen Curry has another dagger to plunge into the hearts of the Houstonians before he said and finished everything.

Rorbach: Warriors. I can’t imagine the script in which Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Drading Green lose three losers in a row for a team that is not closer. Warriors are much more experienced, and this matters in game 7. Does it scare me that this impulse seems to have turned in the direction of Houston? Certainly. But give me the warriors of the mustache.

Cavaliers, round 2: Who wins?

Jensen: CAVS at 5. Perhaps six. Cleveland is the best team, and this is all respect for the Indiana, a team that itself functions as a well-greased car. But the level of talent in Cleveland and the offensive heights that he can achieve, I believe, is too much to overcome for Pacers.

Devine: Cavs at 6. Uncertainty regarding the injury of Darius Garland’s finger gives me some pause, especially as a well -known Paisers’ resource who tried to tell you that Indiana was a product in January. But me Also I tried to tell you that Cleveland is historically excellent, at least for so long.

Indiana is going to emphasize Cleveland coverage and playing plans for a lot, many A great degree than Miami was able to in the first round. But I think that collective shooting, gaming production, versatility and high -class talents that this CAVS ication brings for wearing is only a cut higher; I think that Tyris Haliburon will hunt ruthlessly; And I think that Cleveland switched to the final of the Eastern Conference for the first time since 2018.

Haberstroh: Cavs in 5. The inconsistency of Tyrism of Haliburbon was not worth most of the Pacers against the short Miluoi, but I think that his act Jekyll & Hyde to doom them in this eastern battle. I can’t wait to see the match of Evan Mobe and Pascal Siakam, two of the most universal large in the game.

Rorbach: Cavaliers at 6. Pasers are better than people think. They, of course, are better than I thought when I chose money against them in seven games. It took them only five games to prove themselves as a deeper, more talented team. This is not the case against Cavs, which are even deeper and even more talented. They can do everything that Pisers can, but better.

CELTICS-PINKS, Round 2: Who wins?

Devine: Celtics at 5 years old. This is a nightmare match for these NIKS – a bar that they saw last season, and that they tried very clearly to achieve their off -season movements, but they proved that the whole season remain unable to achieve. (Million times: New York has gone 0-10 Against Celtics, CAVS and thunder during the regular season and 51-21 against all the others.) Respect for the notes of Jenen Brunnson on star post-zone performances requires that I projected one type of “outside the body”. In addition, although? I expect that with the gentlemen about the transition to another final of the Eastern Conference.

Rorbach: Celtics at 6. It makes me be nervous that consensus considers it a light series for Celtics. Jalen Brunns is incredible, and New York boys Villanova never leave. Boston hit too. But I just can’t imagine the script in which the defensive combination of Brunns and Karl Antoni Towns does not get out to death. This is what Celtics did with them in the past, and this season he gave 130.2 points for 100 possessions.

Jensen: Celtics in 5. Tom Tibodo will lose a mathematical battle, and the lack of depth in New York will force NIX weary, which is not quite an asset when their opponent can run and feed all day.

Haberstroh: Celtics at 5 years old. As if Jalen Branson was in clutch, the porous defense of NIX will not be able to restrain the crime of Boston Celtics. This will look alien compared to the violation of Detroit pistons, in which there were often several non -intercators on the floor. Kristaps Porziņģis in Celtics Green in MSG? Sign me.
