The NBA playoffs are in full swing, and G2 has played three more games, namely the Suns 93-105 Timberwolves, the Pacers 125-108 Bucks, and the Mavericks 96-93 Clippers. In G1, all eight games were won at home, and now, there is finally an away team that wins. And after the second playoff game, the names of these 4 "pseudo-strong teams" are completely confirmed

This season's luxury tax, the Warriors first, the Clippers second, the Clippers' lineup can be said to be very luxurious, with George, Harden, Westbrook, Leonard's Big 4 configuration, and role players also have Powell, Hyland and other high-quality combat power. In the middle of the season, it went all the way to the north and rushed into the top four in the West. It stands to reason that the Clippers should be aiming for a championship, but in the first two games of the first round, they have already dropped to one home court. With top wings like George and Xiaoka, teaming up but not being able to prevent Doncic, how can such a Clippers face other strong teams in the West, and the health of the players is still an issue, and Xiaoka has always been plagued by injuries.

The Lakers won their first NBA title of the season, the midseason title, but they stumbled all the way, playing the play-offs to make the playoffs, and the first-round opponent was the Nuggets. Of course, there are many fans who feel that the gap between the Lakers and the Nuggets last year was not large, and there were several games that were lost and had a chance. With such illusions, it turned out to be 2-0 by the Nuggets this year, and it seems that the Nuggets have not done their best. Especially in G2, the Lakers were chased by the Nuggets all the time while leading by 20 points, and they were reversed by Murray with 3 key shots in a row. The Lakers are far inferior to the Nuggets in terms of superstar level and overall strength, and it is luck to win the midseason championship.

The Suns sit on the Big Three, and it can be said that the book strength is among the best in the league, but for a whole season, they have never seen them play a reasonable offensive and defensive system, and the personal status of the Big Three has fluctuated and fallen off the standard. In the playoffs, I thought that facing the Timberwolves, who were swept by myself in the regular season, it would be a great opportunity for the Suns to advance, but I didn't expect that the Big Three performed very poorly, shooting 18 of 45 in total, and only scored a measly 52 points. With 2-0 down and 2 consecutive defeats, perhaps the Suns will be the first team to be eliminated.

The Bucks also have a home-court advantage, and then came to a 1-1 score, but this is just because Brother Alphabet was injured and didn't play, and I believe that he will still easily advance after he returns. The real disappointment in the East was the 76ers, who had Embiid, who made an emergency comeback at the end of the regular season and led the team to the playoffs. In terms of real strength, the 76ers are actually the top four in the East, after all, they have a peak MVP and Maxey, who has been an All-Star. Unexpectedly, both games were lost to the Knicks, who did not have Randle on the inside. Except for Embiid and Maxey, the other players of the 76ers did not play very well, but the Knicks were united, fighting for every ball, and playing very tough. Even if the superstar is not as strong as the 76ers, the Knicks' will to win is too strong, in comparison, the 76ers are very weak, and can even lose the opponent 22 rebounds in a game.
