Let’s take a look at the playoffs.
1 v 8
2 v 7
3 v 6
4 v 5
In the Eastern Conference, teams that were seeded in positions 1, 2, 3 and 4 will make it to the second round of the playoffs. These are Cavs, Celtics, NY and Pacers.
In the Western Conference it looks like numbers 1, 7 and 6 will make it. These are OKC, Warriors and Timberwolves. In the 4 v 5 matchup, anything can happen. Will it be Jokic’s Nuggets (no.4) or Kawhi’s Clippers (no. 5). I am rooting for Kawhi Leonard.
Meanwhile, lift your right hand and take the vow: Ruto Must Go!
It’s always been more competitive. Bigger markets and more attractive cities=the best players and more money.
Last time the East was better ni lini? Larry Bird, Isaiah and MJ era?
But Chicago was shit and when they became good, Celtics and Detroit were washed up. Basically the East has never been as good.
But also, you have to take into account that those West teams had a lot of changes midseason. LA traded superstars and now have no center, GSW added Butler, Memphis had injuries, Kawhi was out almost half the season. The standings don’t reflect the team strengths.
Celtics in 5 for that but EC finals ni Cavs all the way, they are built same as OKC. Inexperienced maybe, but the team is deep.
Don’t think there has been a clearer NBA finals ivi for some time. Cavs Vs OKC the only teams that are built for a dynasty reign sai with all the stuff about second apron coming into place.
You should consider that those favorites you’re mentioning haven’t really met a real Playoffs opponent, judge after the semis. Probably OKC won’t survive the challenge
Based on form, I think the Thunder will prevail against the Nuggets and then against the Timberwolves. In the East, the Pacers will beat the Knicks. In the finals, The Thunder will meet the Pacers.
Your predictions so far ziko sawa zangu ziliuuma nje especially Cleveland.
Niliwatch the OKC -Nuggets game 5 leo na that game was on a knife edge could have gone either way. Teammates wa Joker walimwangusha. Nikama every one assumes the winner wa this tie wins the WCF.
Celtics are done na the Tatum injury. Pacers nao I underestimated them tena but I still think Knicks finish them cause of the wing defense ya Bridges na OG. Brunson na Haliburton wanaeza enda aura for aura ikifika clutch time.
