The Charlotte Hornets finished the 2020-2021 NBA season with a 33-39 record, which led them to the play-in game as the 10th seed. Although Charlotte did not make the playoffs, the team outperformed their expectations.
For the second time in less than a week, the Golden State Warriors and the Memphis Grizzlies will be playing a must-win game. In their matchup last Sunday, Stephen Curry torched Memphis for 46 points on a career-high 36 shot attempts en route to a 12 point victory for Golden State.
The Philadelphia 76ers come into this year’s postseason in the best position they’ve been in in the last 20 years. Back in 2001, their star player Allen Iverson had led them to the one-seed in the Eastern Conference. Now, MVP candidate Joel Embiid has led this team right back into the one-seed.
The Phoenix Suns are one of the NBA’s biggest surprises this season. Even with the Lakers back at full strength, the Suns will not back down. This will end up being one of the best first-round matchups.
The Portland Trail Blazers and Denver Nuggets will kick off their opening-round series Saturday night in Denver. The Trailblazers should be eager to be back in the playoffs after falling short last year in the bubble.
There are many players that have pressure on them entering this year’s NBA playoffs, but none have put more pressure on themselves than James Harden. He hasn’t captured the one thing that matters the most: a championship.
On Wednesday evening, the Staples Center will play host to their first must-win game in a while with the seventh-seeded Los Angeles Lakers welcoming the eighth-seeded Golden State Warriors to town.
For the second year in a row, the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat will square off in a playoff series. Once again, it is the Heat who are trying to upset the Bucks. Last year, the Heat shocked the NBA world with their 4-1 series win over the top seed Bucks.
After a surprising run to the NBA Finals last season, the future was looking very bright for the Miami Heat. However, after a huge playoff run, the Heat looked nothing like the team they were last season.
For the second consecutive season, the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers will meet in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. The Clippers won the 2020 playoff series 4-2 against a shorthanded Mavericks team.
The Atlanta Hawks for the first time since 2017 made the playoffs. Meanwhile, The New York Knicks broke the third-longest active streak of years that a franchise had missed the playoffs.
With the NBA regular season concluded, Nikola Jokic is the consensus MVP, and he certainly has a convincing case. However, given the incredible season that Steph Curry has presented, a case for his own MVP candidacy must be made.
