NBA Playoffs possibilities: A Thread
Giannis’ last chance?
This is Giannis’ biggest chance to win a ring. KD and Kyrie haven’t debuted yet in Brooklyn, Sixers need help with building their team around Embiid, Raptors don’t have Kawhi this time. So Giannis has a big chance of making it to the NBA finals this year.
If he doesn’t however then things might not work out in Milwaukee and he might have to become a free agent unfortunately
Inherited Will
Lebron James has brought the Lakers to the first #1 seed in 7 years. This is also the first time in a while they have made it to the playoffs. After the unfortunate death of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, Lebron kinda has big shoes to fill.
With AD and a nice supporting squad, he has a chance to bring the ring home to LA. Will he win this NBA finals in honor of the Black Mamba and solidify himself as one of the greatest to ever do it? I hope.
Raptors Without Kawhi
The Raptors have been finding their footing since Kawhi moved to the Clippers. They’re doing a great job with it though. They have beat the #1 seed in the West by 15 and the #1 seed overall by 8. It’s all thanks to their fortress of a defense.
If they keep it up and clamp teams left and right without the man who brought them to the promised land, there’s a chance that they could go back to back
Revenge
CP3 was traded in last years off season to OKC in exchange for Russell Westbrook. And his first round matchup will be against the Rockets. CP3 might get a chance at revenge after the Rockets traded him. Could this be the dagger for the dirty move the Rockets pulled on him
Dame Time
The Blazers are the 8th seed as I’m writing this but will Dame get another chance at reaching for a championship. They stole a last minute play in spot from the 8-0 Suns led by Devin Booker. They grabbed it by winning against the Net by 1.
They reached the WCF but got swept but with the Warriors not in contention they have a chance to go to the Finals. And Dame has Melo, CJ McCollum, Nurkic, and Gary Trent Jr backing him up. this could be their time. Damian Lillard brings a ring to Rip City and it would be history.
A Chip for the Clips
Kawhi Leonard is having a good season playing in his hometown along with Paul George and the best bench in the Bubble. Through his leadership and the load management, he and his team carries all the pressure and works their hardest to make a great season.
And they can top it off with a championship. Kawhi already helped a franchise win their first ring. He could do it again. But a Lebron led Lakers stands in their way in a possible WCF matchup. Will Kawhi pass through the obstacles to win the first chip in Clippers history?
We have to find out bout this and all of these storylines when the playoffs start on Monday. Thank you for reading this thread. I really appreciate it and retweets are also appreciated. :)
