Well, we’m finally here.
The NBA playoffs.
After what we thought was a normal season. After a season suspension. After a fresh start – in the bubble, at Orlando, at Disney – with a total of 22 teams playing eight seeding games over two weeks. After stumbling across a brilliant concept with the play-in series, and perhaps a blueprint for future seasons.
We are here.
And this can feel almost completely normal – if it were not for the hefty playoff extravaganza.
Well, it’s up to the games and the best-at-best. No rest of player. No more playing for tomorrow. It’s Showtime with the NBA title on the line.
Here are our predictions for how things will play out in the most extraordinary season of our lives.
