Both Conference Finals went to a Game 7 last year and both series will be just as tough to call this time around. The Warriors are there once again and are strong favourites to go on and win a third consecutive title, but they will likely be without Kevin Durant. The Bucks are the favourites in the East, but could be given a tough match-up.<doc-sep>After two thrilling Game 7’s on Sunday, the Conference Finals are set. Here are the predictions for every single game of the NBA Western Conference Finals, over the next week or so. Golden State Warriors (1) vs. Portland Trail Blazers (3) Game 1: Trail Blazers at Warriors I fully expect the Golden State Warriors to win Game 1, but it won’t be a cake walk. The Blazers are unique from the Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets, because they combine the team style of play of the Clippers with the star power of the Rockets. The Warriors will win Game 1 by seven points, but it will be hard fought. GSW 1, POR 0 Game 2: Trail Blazers at Warriors The Warriors have played well in the absence of both Kevin Durant and DeMarcus Cousins, but even with both of those players (mostly just Durant) the Warriors still fell to the Clippers at home. The Trail Blazers will capitalize on the injured Warriors and steal Game 2 by three. GSW 1, POR 1 Game 3: Warriors at Trail Blazers The Trail Blazers are 5-1 at home in the 2019 playoffs. Damian Lillard has averaged 29.3 ppg at home in his last three games, and that should be enough for the Blazers to take Game 3. Blazers win by 10. GSW 1, POR 2 Game 4: Warriors at Trail Blazers The Warriors are still the Warriors. In a must-win game, the Warriors will rise to the occasion and it will be too much for the Blazers, who are feeling a bit too confident at this point. Warriors win by 6. GSW 2, POR 2 Game 5: Trail Blazers at Warriors After gaining momentum in Game 4, the Warriors will be able to take control of the series in a double-digit point victory. GSW 3, POR 2 Game 6: Warriors at Trail Blazers According to the latest injury reports, Kevin Durant should be available by Game 5, so there’s a high level of confidence that he’ll be active for Game 6. With Durant, the Warriors will essentially be at full strength and will close out the series in six games. Warriors win by 10. Warriors win the series, 4-2 More Articles 2019 NFL All-Paid Team Best Options to Replace Doug Baldwin in Seattle Enter Our FIFA 19 Tournament, Featuring Montee Ball 2019 Post-NFL Draft RB Depth Chart Top 5 Running Backs Still Available<doc-sep>After the long, gruelling 2019 NBA season, we're finally there.

But if you can't watch because you're not in your home country and so your coverage is geo-blocked then we can suggest a clever alternative (and no, it doesn’t involve finding some dodgy feed on Reddit). Using a VPN - or Virtual Private Network - you can change the IP address to one in a different state or country which does have the stream so that you can watch the 2019 NBA Playoffs games from anywhere in the world. The process is very straightforward… We've tested all of the major VPN services and we rate ExpressVPN as the absolute best.

Choose any country showing a Playoffs live stream and watch as if you were in that country. Watch the NBA playoffs on TV in the US Avoid the NBA blackout with a VPN If you live in the US and don’t want to pay for local cable television just to watch your local franchise, catching those NBA games live is made very difficult for you. Because the NBA agrees to exclusive rights for those stations, even streaming services won’t show live games as the action happens. You have to settle to watch the game when it’s replayed. But using a VPN is a handy way around this. Grab one of our recommend VPNs above, log in and connect to a server outside the blackout region and you're ready to watch some basketball. This was you can watch all games in the NBA Playoffs as they happen live from anywhere in the world. Unfortunately the NBA’s own streaming service (the League Pass) won’t be showing either the NBA Playoffs or the Finals live online as all of these games will be nationally televised. If you’re already a League Pass subscriber though, you will still be able to watch these games in the service’s archives, though they won’t be available until three hours after they air on TV. If you’re looking to watch the NBA Playoffs live on TV however, then you’ll need to narrow down which channels are showing which conference’s games and lucky for you, we can help you with that. If your favorite team is playing in the Western Conference Finals, then ESPN is your only choice to watch those games as the network has the exclusive rights to broadcast the Western Conference Finals on TV. On the other hand, if your franchise is playing in the Eastern Conference Finals, then TNT is your only option as the network has secured the rights to broadcast those games. The NBA’s own network, NBA TV will air some first round games on TV, so if you don’t want to miss a single minute of the NBA Playoffs, you’ll need a cable package or streaming service with access to NBA TV. Finally, for the 17th consecutive year, ABC has the sole rights to broadcast the NBA Finals. If you want to watch the finals, you’ll have to do so on ABC. We wish watching the NBA Playoffs was easier on TV but you can get around network exclusivity deals by opting for a streaming service that gives you access to every channel showing the playoffs. Hulu with Live TV $44.99 per month - Hulu with Live TV gives you access to ESPN, TNT and ABC in most markets but the service doesn't include NBA TV. The service supports a wide variety of streaming devices and even includes its own Hulu Originals in case you want a break from watching sports.

Four teams remain in the NBA playoffs as both the conference final matchups have been set. The Golden State Warriors host the Portland Trail Blazers with Game 1 tipping off on Tuesday, May 14. The Milwaukee Bucks take on the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, May 15. Damian Lillard’s late-game heroics have been a big reason for the Blazers deep playoff run, but it was C.J. McCollum that willed Portland to victory in Game 7. After the game, McCollum noted that he understands it is Lillard’s team, but tried to step up when his team needed him most. “He’s the heart and soul of our team and he’s done a great job of empowering us and leading us,” McCollum said, per USA Today. “… I just kept trying to be aggressive and he seen that I had it going, so he kept making sure I was staying involved in the offense and taking shots.” NBA Playoff Schedule: Eastern & Western Conference Finals 2019 DATE GAME TIME(ET)/TV Tues., May 14 Blazers vs. Warriors Game 1 9 p.m. ESPN Wed., May 15 Raptors vs. Bucks Game 1 8:30 p.m. TNT Thurs., May 16 Blazers vs. Warriors Game 2 9 p.m. ESPN Fri., May 17 Raptors vs. Bucks Game 2 8:30 p.m. TNT Sat., May 18 Warriors vs. Blazers Game 3 9 p.m. ESPN Sun., May 19 Bucks vs. Raptors Game 3 7 p.m. TNT Mon., May 20 Warriors vs. Blazers Game 4 9 p.m. ESPN Tues., May 21 Bucks vs. Raptors Game 4 8:30 p.m. TNT Wed., May 22 Blazers vs. Warriors Game 5 9 p.m. ESPN Thurs., May 23 Raptors vs. Bucks Game 5 8:30 p.m. TNT Fri., May 24 Warriors vs. Blazers Game 6 9 p.m. ESPN Sat., May 25 Bucks vs. Raptors Game 6 8:30 p.m. TNT Sun., May 26 Blazers vs. Warriors Game 7 9 p.m. ESPN Mon., May 27 Raptors vs. Bucks Game 7 8:30 p.m. TNT NBA Finals Prediction: Warriors vs. Bucks The Bucks and Warriors both enter the conference finals somewhat rested. Portland and Toronto had to pull out Game 7’s in the closing minutes. Look for Golden State and Milwaukee to meet in the NBA finals. It has little to do with the fact they will be the more rested teams and more to do with the two squads being the best two teams throughout the season. Lillard and McCollum have enough offensive firepower to get the Blazers a couple games in the series. Golden State is also in a bit of disarray with the status of Kevin Durant and DeMarcus Cousins up in the air. The Warriors will be able to figure it out no matter the lineup, and I expect Golden State to once again advance in six games. Milwaukee could be in for more of a fight with Toronto. Kawhi Leonard has been unguardable through two series and it will be interesting to see if the Bucks try to use Giannis Antetokounmpo on him at all during the series. Look for the Eastern Conference Finals to go seven games, but The Greek Freak to earn his first NBA finals appearance.
