NBA PLAYOFFS: Potentially the best year

It’s the most wonderful time of the year—NBA playoffs. This NBA season has been crazy all season between the players, teams, and transactions. Notable points in this season include the Lakers missing the playoffs, Pelicans making the playoffs after a terrible start to the season, and several players exploding for 40+ points in consecutive weeks. Obvious teams include on are the Suns, Nets, Celtics, 76ers, Bucks, Warriors, and the Heat. Sleeper teams include the Bulls, Grizzlies, Hawks, Pelicans These playoffs will feature a bunch of teams full of deep talent and no clear favorite to win the championship, especially after the Devin Booker injury.
This is the first time in the long time I have been excited about the playoffs, especially because each matchup has the potential to have a long series of games. For instance, the series like the Nets vs Celtics or the Grizzlies vs Timberwolves. These are #2 seeds vs #7 seeds, but the talent on both rosters is amazing. Seeing KD and Kyrie against Tatum and Jaylen Brown gets my attention because both of those duos can easily take over a game. Not only that, players like Karl-Anthony Towns, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Edwards, Ja Morant, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Chris Paul, and Jimmy Butler are all superstars that can put a team on their shoulders and make a series. I am predicting multiples rounds having a lot of long series where upsets are likely.
So far, the playoffs are in the first round, but analyst are already talking about an upset. Notable series include 1-Pelicans vs 1- Suns, 1-Bucks vs 1-Bulls, 2-Grizzlies vs 1- Timberwolves, 2-Mavericks vs 1-Jazz and 2-Celtics vs 0-Nets. These series have been back and forth and have come down to the wire. There are series that have been lopsided such as the 3-Warriors vs 0-Nuggets and 3-76ers vs 0-Raptors. That’s not surprising considering the players that are available on each team. However, other series are going to be tough to predict.
Personally, I see two upsets coming soon because of the injuries, momentum, and just the players talent. I look at the Pelicans because they got home-court advantage the next two games and they have already sold out. Devin Booker is out 2-3 weeks giving the Pelicans more momentum to go out and close a series. There are too many great players and well-built roster this year making the playoffs worth watching. I am predicting this to be Top 5 NBA playoffs in history.
