I don't know from what year, the playoffs in the East showed a significant difference compared to the West. The West is more skilled, and the East is more about height and confrontation, but the core of everything is still alignment.
Not much BB, just guess!
Heat 4-1 Hawks
As we all know, the Hawks are not very defensive. It's not that they don't want to defend, it's that the lineup characteristics make it difficult for them to defend.
When you have a team core like Yang Yang, his and the center's blocking is bound to become the source of the team's attack, but he will also inevitably become the weakness of the defensive end.
In order to maximize his blocking power, the Hawks can only give him a pitcher to open up space, so one of Hurth and Bogdan must start, and after Collins is injured, Gallinari is on the starting four.
Except for Hunter, how can the others face the Heat's lineup?
Blowing Yang can only let him defend Strus, Lori has to hand it over to Helt, Lori suddenly how can he defend, Gallinari defense low is OK, but once the anti-block demolition or the basket breaks through him is too slow, when Okungu is defended and demolished, do you want him to prevent it?
These are all problems, the Heat is not the same, if Tucker can return in time, the Heat can use a large area to disassemble the Eagles' blocking, at this time it will test The hard solution ability of Yang Yang under high-intensity defense, but he is ultimately limited by his own body.
At the same time, the Heat will launch an endless impact on the Eagles' restricted area, originally the Eagles suffered losses in this regard, and now Capela is gone, and how much role can the only seedling Okongu play needs to play a big question mark.
The Hawks only had a chance to let the Heat lose their chances if the three Musketeers, Yang, Hurth and Bogdan, were all under fire, but under the defensive pressure of the Heat, it was too difficult, and the pitchers were naturally suppressed until the playoffs.
It is optimistic that Yang Yang can go crazy to avoid sweeping, so the Heat won 4-1.
Celtics 4-2 Nets
As a basketball writer, of course I hope the Nets can win, preferably with the Warriors in the Division Finals, that heat... But my intellect told me it was too hard.
A lot of people were expecting the Nets to make the playoffs, as if they were going to change as soon as they made the playoffs, because the Nets had Durant and Irving. But the Nets don't have the conditions to change as soon as they make the playoffs, because they only have Durant and Irving.
I don't even know if, with Irving in his final form and his most recent green army performance (8-of-18, 19 points, 6 assists and 3 turnovers) and ramadan problems, Nets fans will want Irving to stay on the court in the next few games.
And for Durant, who finally took the Nets to this wave of sprints, averaging more than 40 minutes per game, and hanging on his legs an Irving who shot more than he scored most of the time, did he already start the playoff mode?
Even If Duu is no problem, the Green Army has Tatum can face Durant, Smart to Owen, and the Nets have a suitable forward pair in addition to Durant?
You'll find that the Nets' roster is too short in the number one, two, and three positions, because a man with a salary of 31.59 million is sitting on the bench cheering on his teammates, and he should be the most suitable person.
Shams said he could make a comeback between G4 and G6, but if the Nets were to put their hopes on Simmons, they'd probably be not far from elimination.
So whether Nash will let Bruce Brown go against Jaylen Brown, although there is still a gap, but it is already the best matchmaking choice. This means that Smart and Little White will have to go to Irving, Curry Jr. and Dragic, and the scene may not be very good, especially when they start a block with the front.
Speaking of Curry Jr., in his last five games for the Nets, he has shot only 35.4 percent of the three-point shots on 11-of-32 shooting, his left ankle doesn't look like he's perfectly good, and there are occasional frustrations when moving on the court, and he's the Nets' most important point of space.
Durant may become a tragic hero again this year, guessing a 4-2 victory for the Green Army.
Bucks 4-0 bulls
It will be the least suspenseful showdown in the East, not only because the Bucks swept the Bulls in the regular season, but also because the Bucks beat the Bulls in the right place.
Jugo alone can hold DeRozan, and Middleton, Allen, Matthews, and Javin Carter can fight with Lavin's wheels, with a tiger-eyed letter on the back.
On the other hand, the Bulls, their front and inside line are completely unblocked by the alphabet and Portis, and the letters can't stop them when they rush up. So the bull must have to have many people besieging the alphabet, at this time you think that The zhu brother and middleton's gang are vegetarians?
Emotionally, I wanted to give Azan a win, but I couldn't really see any hope. The term "garbage brothers" may make a comeback.
Raptors 4-2 Philadelphia
This group is the most likely group in the 8-game series to be on the bottom, because the difference in the record between the two teams is not large in itself.
Philadelphia won 51 and the Raptors won 48, and the Raptors pulled out a wave of 8-2 in their last 10 games, which is significantly better than Philadelphia, who is 6-4.
The key problem for Philadelphia is that no one can go to the Raptors' front, and their three options are Harris, Green and Sable, Harris's defense is not good, Harris in the playoffs understands it, and Sable has made it clear that he will not play the Raptors' home.
So what does a Green do to Siakam, Anunoby, Barnes, Yang Juxia and Achuva?
The Emperor can be on the inside, but in terms of average height, the Raptors are clearly the more dominant side. At this time, the Emperor will fall into a worse situation than when Teacher Jojo faces the Warriors, and in a bunch of Spider-Man attacks, whether the Emperor can break the siege mainly depends on three points.
First, how accurate is the Emperor's turnaround jump shot? If accurate enough, he can shoot before the pinch arrives.
Second, the scale of the referee, if the referee allows physical confrontation, the emperor will be more difficult, if you touch the whistle, the emperor will tell you what is the explosive penalty.
Third, can the Emperor pass the ball and what kind of support can his teammates give? To put it bluntly, it depends on how much Harden can reduce the burden on the emperor, considering his playoff resume and the Raptors' defensive intensity, it is difficult to make people confident.
Of course, the Raptors are not without problems, their problem is the hard solution ability of Van Jordan and Sika, playing at a critical moment, whether these two people can do the ball in the face of misalignment. Philadelphia is not very strong in this regard, but it still looks slightly stronger than the combination of Van Jordan + Sika.
If Philadelphia wants to win the Raptors, it is best to solve the problem in 5 games. Once the 5 games did not send the Raptors away, the sixth game will be at the Raptors home, if dragged into the seven, although it is the Philadelphia home, but the combination of the emperor + Harden + Rivers, it is difficult not to think of something.
But Philadelphia doesn't seem to have the ability to solve the Raptors in 5 games, so guess the Raptors 4-2 or less.
Thanks for reading it all!
