As of today, I don’t think any teams outside of the Bucks/Nets/Warriors have a good shot at being NBA Champions.

I will admit I have to agree with you there but since NBA is NBA, we should always expect the unexpected.

Basically, we just based our analysis, purely on how deep the roster of a certain team is. Therefore, only those teams that have a deep lineup will probably have the chance to take the NBA title this year.

Let's hope no serious injury will happen to any competing teams today as it will be the turning point for some teams to advance.

How about the Phoenix Suns, aren't they included in that discussion? They could get the championship this season too. However, such unfortunate news have happened earlier on the Game 2 of Suns-Pelicans where Booker have been injured. There's no new updates if it's just a minor injury but judging on how Booker reacted after he got it, I can say that it's not that serious.

However I agree that the only healthy teams have the most chances to win the championship this season.

No doubt, injuries will end the chance of winning the title. It's been experienced before and by looking at how each team is competing right now, it's still tough to have a conclusion in regard to this year's world champion. Those mentioned teams do have
chances if no major injuries that will take place with stars and role players.

With a healthy squad moving to the next round, it will be a more interesting series to watch for sure.

but when I watched Warriors and Sixers, they both had "easy" games against their opponents who are not really that terrible neither.

I might agree with the series match of Philadelphia Sixers and Toronto Raptors but on Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets, I'm sure the latter still have the fuel to pump up on Game 3. I don't still consider Denver Nuggets as an easy opponent for the Golden State Warriors.

We will only see if the Nuggets are somehow not competitive and almost close to saying goodbye to their playoffs bid once they lose again next game.

Such unfortunate that it's not what is expected by most fans as the Denver Nuggets are one of the tough teams in the Western Conference.

Let's see, next game.

Before the playoffs started I was thinking the Nets would probably take it all this year. I don’t think that anymore. Unless Ben Simmons comes back and fits in, they’re going to struggle going forward. The Warriors though are playing great. They seem like they have a real chance this year to prove their dynasty was only on hold while their stars got healthy. The Bucks always have a chance to win with Giannis on the floor, but I think the Warriors match up well with them. As of today, I don’t think any teams outside of the Bucks/Nets/Warriors have a good shot at being NBA Champions.

After watching last night's games, I have to say that I am not %100 on Suns bandwagon anymore for this year. I thought that they looked great so far and they still do (they didn't had a game last night, just bare with me) but when I watched Warriors and Sixers, they both had "easy" games against their opponents who are not really that terrible neither.

Sixers specially looking a lot better than I expected, Harden seems hyped up and I do not remember him being this much in love with playing basketball for a long time, last time could be the period when he was in Rockets and they were close to beating Warriors. I guess Sixers could actually go to finals if they keep this up.

I can't believed, but the grizzlies were defeated against Timberwolves, Ja Morant had a fantastic performance, but that wasn't enough for him to lead his team to the victory.

It's not that Memphis Grizzlies are unbeatable by Minnesota Timberwolves. Not that surprising at all although I agree that wasn't expected. Memphis Grizzlies losing Game 1 doesn't mean the Minnesota Timberwolves already owned them. It's just Game 1 and there are lots of games to be played on. Timberwolves just have to maintain that kind of play as once Grizzlies show their true strength, that's a problem for them.

There are only a few Timberwolves players that the Grizzlies need to focus on defense and this team will be able to dominate them.

Looking at it from that point of view, you're right.
I was surprised, let's see how they will behave in today's game...
Since the Memphis Grizzlies performed well in the regular season, that doesn't mean they will also perform in the playoffs....

The Grizzlies are a good team, most of the players are young and have a promising future ahead... I could even compare the Grizzlies (today) with the Celtics of 3 or 4 seasons ago, look at how Brown, Tatum, Smart and others have evolved, I believe this could happen to some Memphis players

I wouldn't say that Boston Celtics was just lucky on that 1st game because they are really competent against the Nets, and they also have improved throughout the season and I'm just amazed that they managed to make the Nets struggle and they're surely a threat on Brooklyn. Well, they better prepare for the 2nd game because the Nets will be coming to take their revenge.

I see your point and I agree, Boston improved a lot. They did not give it up. Even Brooklyn made that huge rally was and able to take the lead in the

last dying seconds of the game, but in that particular last play, we have seen maturity with the Celtics. They did not force the shot instead, they

wait and find that slight opening and then the rest was history. It might be another interesting game to come up with, like what you have said, Nets

will take their revenge and will try everything to tie the series.

In the Nets-Celtics game, I was convinced the Nets would beat Boston, but that didn't happen... by the way, Kyrie Irving had a phenomenal performance in that game.

Yeah he had, because he made 39 points from 12/20 shooting or 60% shooting percentage against the Celtics, you can clearly see that no defense can stop him, unfortunately, he was also the reason why they lose because he did not guard Tatum very well who did the game-winning shot.

One of Irving's main qualities is his performance in the playoffs games... in most games he always helped the team when requested, even when he was playing for the Cavaliers he already had this characteristic!!

Aside from the fact that Irving's presence is good for the team because he's quite experienced on the playing the playoffs, his skillset is very hard to deny and that he is indeed really hard to guard. Better pray that he let down his guard or he's having a bad night because if not, he will always going to make that big points for the team.

No doubt about that, he has that skill set that can attack you on any sides of the ring, plus a kind of mindset to keep aiming for the win.

It's just a good team play from that last Boston attack that leads them to the win. There's nothing that we can ask for these two competitive teams.

If the same quality game happened this coming game 2, it would be a very interesting long series to expect. Both teams have their own rallies that

can convert a good win. Let wait for the next game and hope to see another enjoyable competition.

I dont know who can be the champion because we have a lot of powerfull teams but nobody seems so solid, but for me the surprise of this PlayOff can be the Minnesotta Timberwolves.
And if i have to say one team without any chance to win nothing, its Denver Nugges, sorry for Jokic but the team its trash, Austin Rivers playing a ton of minutes apporting nothing GG.

The Phoenix Suns are still on top for the 2022 championship at the moment. It seems like another derby against the Milwaukee Bucks. Hopefully things will change up this year and it's going to be more exciting. The odds for the next few contestants are much lower and closely together. My favourite tram is still golden state Warriors, even though they don't have the strongest team anymore. Just going for the most likely winner has usually the lowest payout. Going with the underdogs is where the real profit is.

I still think the New Jersey Nets are the most like I to win the championship though the Celtics knocking them off in game one does give me a little bit of pause. If the Nets aren’t going to win it I think I’m placing my money on the Golden State Warriors. I just feel like when it comes down to it they’ve got too much fire power. The best thing though is that this is all debatable being that there is no clear cut best team like so frequently there was in years past.

Any update to OP picks after some great numbers of responses here? Game 1 at the most series match is now ended and I hope already has a pick.

Risk some OP to have better odds and if you lose, just come back in the second round. In that way, if the team you choose is able to pass the 1st Round, you have that good odds already and just hope for the best.

From there, you can add more bets for them in 2nd round and so on until reaching the Finals, if ever.

Yes, exactly!
He's an integral part of the team he plays for, whether it's the Nets, Cavs or Celtics... Irving is skilled and plays well in the playoffs compared to the regular season!

One of his main qualities as i said earlier is that when the team needs him in the decisive games, he will be there to help others!

That's why he is very underrated especially the Nets now that are the underdog against the Celtics in the series.
With the lose in game 1 the series odds have also increased to 3.00 for the Nets, it's worth taking it for sure and even the NBA winner to be honest.
Maybe you will be confused with the 3.00 odds, I'm using my boost by the way so it reaches to 3.00, odds current 2.8+ without price boost.

Let's see how some teams will behave in the future in the playoffs

We have seen a lot in the last 30 years, even the last 40 years that in playoffs, always a first game surprise can happen. But in this case, Timberwolves win is not that much of a surprise in my opinion. Ok, Grizzlies had a fantastic regular season and although they are a young team, they can play like a mature and strong team. They still are inexperience as Wolves and these things can happen. But also, Timberwolves had a fantastic night for offense. 130 points in an away game in playoffs. Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns were fantastic. But as almost everybody can agree, both of these teams are nowhere near a championship level. Of course, as two of the youngest teams of the league, they are already successful enough for this season in my opinion.

Before the first game of the first round I was thinking it was going to be Bucks or Nets in the Finals for the East and that whoever made it that far would be the winner. I don't really like what I saw from either team in their first playoff game though. The Nets specifically seem to be very streaky and reliant on their stars for points while lacking defensively. Ben Simmons will help bigtime if he can get on the floor, but it remains to be seen if that will happen in time to change the series.

After the first game of the playoffs, I'm now thinking the Warriors and the Suns have a good shot at taking the title. I hope these 2 sets of teams matchup during the playoffs and that whoever wins ends up in the Finals together. That's what I want to see. Unless Zion comes back healthy, then it would be great to see him play in as many games as possible.

The last minutes were so fast because neither team has called a timeout rather they continue the fast phase which lead to the Net's loss last night. But overall performances by both teams are great because that should be how we want and how should playoffs games should be. The other teams are dominant so the only exciting game was the Nets vs Celtics. looks like the Denver Nuggets is in pressure, they need to come up with something tomorrow to keep their heads up.

We would like to see playoffs like this, very exciting and intense either you are a fan of Boston or not you'll going to enjoy how they stay and keep the pressure, that's a very timing turnaround shot by Tatum, just like his idol Kobe he took that challenge and give the crowd the entertainment and the pride that they deserve.

Still very far between these two teams, with how we have seen them catching up and trying to beat one another this long series
will be more exciting to watch out.

Who wouldn't want watching playoff games, right? I've been meaning to see games like these, so interesting and thrilling to see as there would be many twist and unexpected things that will happen just like what we saw earlier.

I really find the regular season boring and different compared to the playoffs because in the regular games it's just like teams were just competing to have the best stunt or best dunk or even best block while in the playoffs they are really competing to be the best of the best to get to the championship game while trying not to be injured in the same time. Oh boy, this will going to be a long joyful months to me!
