Western
Conference
Los Angeles
Clippers Vs Golden State Warriors
It’s
Playoff time which means it’s time for the Warriors to start playing like the
best team in the league. Don’t get me wrong, we know they play hard every game,
but you know they elevate it to a whole other level once the postseason rolls
around. It’s no secret they are still the best team in the league and this
should be a nice little warm up for them in the first round against the
Clippers. Congrats to the Clippers for having a much better regular season than
anyone anticipated, but this is sure to be a quick and easy series for the
Warriors.

Utah Jazz Vs
Houston Rockets
James
Harden continues to score at an insane level and this season he had no choice
but to take all of the shots because everybody else on his team has been
battling through injuries. I’m sure he’s thrilled that he has most of his team
healthy for the playoff run, most notably Chris Paul. The Jazz haven’t been
that impressive this season. I expected them to be a much stronger team this
year than from what they have shown because they have quite a few good players
like Gobert and Donovan Mitchell, but this team hasn’t been consistent at all.
This should be a quick series for Houston because I don’t believe the Jazz will
be able to keep pace with the Rockets on the offensive side of the ball.

Oklahoma
City Thunder Vs Portland Trail Blazers
I
kinda feel like this is going to be the only good matchup we see in the first
round. The both of these teams matchup very well against each other. The
Thunder are all offense and can score like crazy. The Blazers are known to
dominate in the paint by owning the boards and grabbing any rebound in sight to
dominate the time of possession. You really never know what you’re going to get
from either team in any given game because neither team has played with any
consistency. I believe the Thunder have the edge in this matchup because they
have two of the best shooters in the game with Westbrook and Paul George,
either player can take over a game and make the clutch shots when necessary. The
Blazers should make this an interesting matchup, but the Thunder will move onto
the next round.

San Antonio
Spurs Vs Denver Nuggets
The
Nuggets have been the biggest surprise in the NBA this season. I don’t think
anybody had any idea that this team would be one of the best teams in the
Western Conference, a bottom level playoff team maybe, but not one of the best
teams in the league. The Spurs on the other hand have been fairly mediocre
compared to what we’ve grown used to with them over the years. The Spurs don’t
play with the same energy anymore and while I know they have lost a few of the
core players over the years, they still have a good roster full of good
players, but they just can’t seem to put it together. The Nuggets Nikola Jokic
has really taken the league by storm this season and the way he plays reminds
of Dirk Nowitzki. The casual NBA fan probably has no idea who is and what a
good basketball player he is, but I have a feeling he’s going to give everyone
a nice introduction this postseason.

Eastern
Conference
Detroit
Pistons Vs Milwaukee Bucks
This
matchup is the perfect example as to why the Eastern Conference is a total
dumpster fire! The Pistons have no business even stepping foot into the
postseason, but because the East is weak as fuck, as always, here we are! The
Bucks literally have one of the best players in the league playing at an MVP
level with Giannis Antetokuonmpo and the rest of his team is following right
behind him. The Bucks are legit. The Pistons suck! This series is over before
it even began!

Indiana
Pacers Vs Boston Celtics
While
the Celtics have not been as dominant as we expected them to be at the
beginning of the season, there is no way in hell they won’t kick the shit out
of the Pacers! Yet another horrible Eastern Conference snoozefest!

Brooklyn
Nets Vs Philadelphia 76ers
This
is such an awful matchup that even if the 76ers sit Joel Embiid for the entire
series it won’t be a big deal because the Nets don’t have a chance either way!
If I were the 76ers I would let Embiid get some rest and get ready for the next
round when they may actually face a good team!

Orlando
Magic Vs Toronto Raptors
The
Raptors are so thrilled they don’t have to see LeBron in the postseason because
now they actually have a chance to win the Eastern Conference. First up is the
pathetic ass Orlando Magic, this will be a nice little warm up for the Raptors
in the postseason. I’m expecting this to be an absolute ass kicking by the Raptors!
