The playoffs are here, folks! Get your popcorn ready and make sure you’ve got your lucky jersey on, because we’ve got some wild matchups ahead of us. First up, we’ve got the Atlanta Hawks taking on the Boston Celtics. While the Hawks have been showing some serious game, let’s be real, Boston has seriously got some star power. Plus, they’ve got that home-court advantage. Sorry, Atlanta, but we’re gonna have to go with Boston on this one.
Next up, the Philadelphia 76ers are going to face off against the Brooklyn Nets. Now, the Nets may have been on fire since those Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant trades, but let’s not forget that the 76ers have got the MVP (or near-MVP) Joel Embiid on their team. Sorry, Nets, but we’re going to have to give this one to Philly.
Oh boy, get ready for a real throwback series with the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. the New York Knicks. We’re talking bigs on bigs, folks. It’s going to be a battle of the giants, and we’ve got to say, Cleveland’s rim protection is looking pretty sweet. Sorry, Knicks, we’re giving this one to the Cavs.
Over in the Western Conference, we’ve got the Memphis Grizzlies facing off against the Los Angeles Lakers. LeBron James and Anthony Davis are both healthy, so we’ve got to give the Lakers some serious credit. Plus, Memphis is playing without Brandon Clarke and Steven Adams. Sorry, Grizzlies, but we’re going to go with the Lakers on this one.
The Sacramento Kings are up next against the Golden State Warriors. While we’ve got to give the Kings credit for making it to the playoffs for the first time in 16 years, experience matters. Sorry, Kings, but we’re giving this one to the Warriors.
Last but not least, we’ve got the Phoenix Suns taking on the LA Clippers. The Clippers are definitely a wild card here, but with injuries to their superstar Paul George, we’re going to have to give this one to the Suns. Plus, they’ve got some serious star power with Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Chris Paul. Sorry, Clippers, but we’re giving this one to the Suns.
