The Celtics have too many scorers for this to stay competitive.
The Boston Celtics should dominate this series, especially after falling to Miami last season.
This year has all been about getting championship #18; anything less is a failure in Boston.
The New York Knicks drew a tough first-round opponent, but there is no hiding in the playoffs.
To beat the Philadelphia 76ers, you need relentless team defense to swarm Joel Embiid.
Jalen Brunson will also need to close out games like he has all season and continue his playoff excellence.
I believe he will.
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s health is obviously the big X-factor here for the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Indiana Pacers have a solid young roster with several players who like to launch the floor.
I think this series will turn into a track meet where the Bucks cant keep pace without Giannis.
This is one of the most odd matchups in the playoffs.
The winner of this series will likely get decimated by the Celtics, making this series almost irrelevant.
Western Conference
The Oklahoma City Thunder have had a tremendous season and a bright future.
It is essential for them to win this series and build some playoff experience.
I expected the Kings to win the play-in and push this series deep, but they choked.
The Minnesota TIMBERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRWOLVES had a tremendous regular season, but the fun stops here.
Anthony Edwards wont be enough to stop the Wolves from going TIMBER again.
Its April, and James Harden is in the playoffs.
We have all seen this dark comedy enough times to know exactly what is going to happen.
The second-greatest choker in the history of the NBA Playoffs (Chris Paul, GOAT) will not disappoint.
