It’s our favorite time of year, when the NBA takes precedent over all sports, games are exciting and guys named Jimmy Butler and Jamal Murrai transform from mortals in basketball gods.

The time is played.

Two teams that I think are on the Collision Course to meet in the NBA finals are not above seeds in any conference. Rather I think that Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers will be the final teams standing.

Not only is the one who corresponds to the NBA Commissioner Adam Silver happiness, providing massive TV reinforcements, but the most commonly observed franchises in league on each other, and the Celtics won 18 Championships and Lakers 17.

Here’s why I think that will happen.

Things gathered for Kelta at the end of the season, and they won them 16 of their final 18 games. They have another best offensive rating and the fifth-best defense rating in the league. Jaison Tatum and Jailen Brown They proved that they could win the championship together. And this team is deep. The only wild card of the Kelter is brown from a brown permanent knee, which turned it for the last few games in the season, although it will obviously be available on this postseason.

Last year, Celtics was vessels through the playoffs, winning 16 of their 19 games. I think their way this time will be similarly clear – to the final conference final, where the ultimate sowing will probably meet Cleveland Cavaliers and indeed be tested. But, I see how they pass them Donovan Mitchell And co., Using your championship to congestly a team that actually found its identity this season. Indeed, no other team in the East is a real threat to Celtic.

USA, for Lakers.

Is Los Angeles Lexings that the team is to beat in the west? | Speak

Luka Doncic Last season they wore Dallas Mavericks and has some of the most expensive statistics on the eye trailer in the league, on average 30.9 points, 9.4 jumps and eight assists over four postsesomes. Will now play beside Lebron JamesWhich is somewhat one of the five of the best MVP candidates, which improperly assumes their game to the second level of the playoffs and consists of 10 final occasions, including eight seasonal careers, including eight, including eight, including eight years.

Although Dončić and James played only together since February, but they showed that they had a lot of chemistry. And when the rises are highest, I think we will see how much magnificent pairing two upper basketball minds in the league. And let’s not forget that Austin Reaves She turned it from an unpropreptible player in Star this season. He is a sudden part of the great three and proved to allow Dončić’s game to a great extent, despite the datrators, whether the addition of Dončić will become excess. In reality, the opposite happened, with READ, Doncic and James Masterski deal with each other and creating nightmares to defend.

The west is much deeper than the east, so we will go through a potential path of potential to the finals, which should be much noisier than Celine Celtics.

I believe that the biggest challenge of lakers in the west was Golden State Warriorsnot to the top Oklahoma City Thunder. James, Doncic and reacts vs. Steph CurryJimmy Butler and Draimond Green It would be wild, bringing the best in all six players.

Although Oklahoma City had a book season, I think they are not ready for light lights and extreme pressure that comes with victory in the greatest stage. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander He will bring his points, but in the playoffs, a team that has the most players who play well victories. Although Thunderbolt is deep, it is questionable whether the boys are called Shai to impress the necessary level to actually leave this team. As for Nuggets, they gave many problems for many problems, carrying them from the conference finals in 2023. years, but I think the addition of Dončić will make things very different, and these are Lajkers to finally become better than typing. Not to mention, Nuggets are a bit flawless after their long-term coach Michael Malone was relieved.

So, Mr. Silver, here you hope that you will get your bonanza TV ratings, and basketball fans get a match that will inhale a new life in one of the greatest sports rivalry all time.
