The NBA playoffs are not very suspense, with 7 seats in the quarterfinals, and there is a group of tiebreakers. Are the Warriors going to be eliminated?

On May 4, a remarkable tiebreaker battle in the Western Conference ended with sighs. It should have been a stalemate in 55, and finally the game was one-sided. In the end, the Nuggets defeated the Clippers 120-101, won the tiebreaker battle and advanced to the second round. Looking back on this game, the Nuggets' desire to win and fighting spirit are far superior to the Clippers. Westbrook is the best portrayal of the Nuggets' G7 form. Westbrook is full of fighting spirit throughout the game, grasping the 3 points that he is the worst at offense, contributing 5 steals to defend, and 3 of the 5 rebounds are frontcourt rebounds. On the other hand, the Clippers were distracted, from Tyron Lou's blind change to Harden's hesitation. The Clippers played lifelessly throughout the game and had no desire to win, and it was not worth regretting that they were eliminated in the end.

With the Clippers' elimination, the first round of the NBA playoffs has gradually become clear, 8 groups of matches and 7 groups have settled, and 7 teams have advanced to the next round. The Cavaliers swept the Heat 4-0, the Celtics easily defeated the Magic 4-1, the Pacers defeated the Bucks 4-1, and the Knicks narrowly defeated the Pistons 4-2 after six fierce battles. In these four groups of matches in the East, there was no situation where the following matches were raised, and all the strong teams advanced smoothly. The Cavaliers and the Celtics showed absolute dominance in the first round series. As the top offensive team in the league, the Cavaliers are all outstanding in scoring, offensive efficiency and three-point output, and easily swept the Heat 4-0 in the first round. As the defending champion, the starting players all have independent offensive ability. The double-core Tatum and Brown have extremely strong ability to keep the bottom limit. Although they lost to the Magic due to injury, they never gave the Magic another chance. After that, the gentleman swept the ball to advance.

Pacers' strength this season cannot be underestimated. Their style of play is similar to that of the Cavaliers, and they are also good at offense. The offensive end is smooth and the team cooperates tacitly. There are double towers in the interior and star guards like Halliburton on the outside. In the playoffs, the Pacers averaged up to 30 assists per game, ranking first in the league. In the first round, they successfully restrained the Bucks. Although the Bucks had a significant advantage in their books, their lineup was seriously aging, Lillard suffered an injury, and although Antetokounmpo averaged 33.0 points and 15.4 rebounds per game in the playoffs, they could not beat four-handed with two fists, and the Bucks were eventually eliminated 1-4. The Knicks won the first round and it was difficult to win against the dark horse Pistons. The score difference in the four games won was no more than 3 points. Thibodeau's excessive use of the starting lineup is also one of the reasons why the team is in trouble, and the Pistons have shown a rise and cannot be underestimated in the future.

Compared with the east, the competition in the west is more intense. In the 4th set of matches in the Western Conference, only the Thunder swept the Grizzlies 4-0 without any suspense, the Timberwolves also completed a 4-1 gentleman sweep against the Lakers, and the Nuggets eliminated the Clippers 4-3 through the tiebreaker today. The Warriors and the Rockets are currently tied 3-3, and the competition in the tiebreaker will be very fierce. However, the author believes that the Warriors' hope of winning the tiebreak is slim. On the one hand, they will go to Toyota Center to play away; on the other hand, the Warriors consume too much physical fitness in this round of the series. After all, the Rockets' core are basically young people, and Curry, Zhu Meng Green and Butler are already facing physical bottlenecks. In the first six games, the Rockets and Warriors were extremely fierce. Curry said that he had never encountered such a series of fierce competition in his career. In the G6 game, Curry was even more defensive and had no chance to catch the ball. In addition, other Warriors players did not have enough explosive scoring, and Kumingga also had conflicts with the management. The most important thing is that the Warriors were completely defeated in the interior, which is a congenital disadvantage and cannot be compensated by their on-the-spot state. In this way, the Warriors are likely to be unable to beat the game in the tiebreak.

Thunder are widely regarded as the team with the greatest chance of winning this year, and they firmly ranked first on ESPN's championship odds list. Indeed, the Thunder's dominance during the regular season was too strong, setting a number of historical records, with a record of 64 wins and 18 losses, setting a new team record, with a net win per game of 12.87 points in history, and swept 21 teams. Although the team is very young, there are many superstars like Alexander in the Thunder. This season, Alexander has basically locked in the MVP and scoring champion, and his personal abilities need no need to say much. The Timberwolves are a team that is getting tougher in the playoffs. They can easily crush the Lakers in the first round and become the first team below this year, which has proved their strength. Last season, the Timberwolves reached the Western Conference Finals.

In this way, as the playoffs deepened, the second round of the Eastern Conference was officially released, the Cavaliers and the Pacers fought fiercely, and the Celtics and the Knicks fought to the death. In terms of strength comparison, the Cavaliers are undoubtedly the enhanced version of the Pacers, with more offensive firepower, and the two defenders Mitchell and Garland have stronger scoring explosive power. The Celtics basically showed a crushing momentum against the Knicks. In the regular season record between the two sides, the Celtics defeated the Knicks 4-0, and when facing the top three teams in the league, the Knicks had a total of 0 wins and 11 losses, and their ability to play with strong teams was obviously insufficient. In the West, the Thunder played against the Nuggets in the second round. To be honest, the Nuggets' physical fitness will be a big problem! The Timberwolves are still waiting for the winner between the Rockets and the Warriors. It is worth mentioning that if the Warriors are eliminated, there will be few highlights in the second round of the series. The three top Western giants and traffic teams of Huyong Ship will all fail in the first round, which is definitely something the league does not want to see, but this also indicates the arrival of the new and old replacement of the league!
