The NBA Playoffs Are Just About to Begin

Start listening

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all had a good week and are ready for these NBA Playoffs!!! Lets dive right into the agenda for the day shall we?!

The play in tournament finishes tonight but the first two 4 games were absolutely incredible!!

Miami completely fell short on their home court against Atlanta and Trae Young final shakes off the narrative that he could not get passed the Heat! The Hawks out rebound the Heat 63-39!!! Now Atlanta moves on to face the two seeded Celtics in Boston on Saturday.

In LA the Lakers started off extremely slow but Minnesota was hot on the other end! However the Lakers crawl back in the second half, but the Minnesota forces OT with 3 free throws to tie the game. LA ends up hanging on to solidify themselves as the seven seed and head to Memphis to face the Grizzles.

Now in our opinion the game of the week had to be the Bulls going into Toronto and stunning the Raptors. Zach Lavine pops OFF for 39 points!! Unfortunately the Raptors did not help themselves by missing 18/36 free throws and end up losing this game by four points…

To close out the play in games we had the youngest team in playoff contention go out and upset a veteran Pelicans team. Narratives are flying after this game because of CJ McCollum’s comments post game and of course Zion not playing. Is OKC developing faster than we thought?!

You know we had to cover the playoff match ups over the weekend so we give our first round predictions on who we believe will move on!

Lets not forget the games going on tonight!! The Battle for the 8th seeds continue, can Miami rebound (haha) from their last performance? Or will Chicago bully (haha!!) their way into the playoffs? On the west side Minnesota looks to find a similar rhythm like they had in the first three quarters against the Lakers. Can they stop this young and hungry Thunder team led by SGA?

In the MLB history might be made today! The Tampa Bay Rays have started the year 13-0!!!! Which has not been done in over 100 years! Can Tampa keep up this level of intensity? Or has their schedule been easy thus far?
