The first two games of the NBA playoffs have been completed.
In the East, the Cavaliers 2-0 Magic and the Knicks 2-076, while the Pacers and Heat got a win on the road, the Bucks 1-1 Pacers, and the Celtics 1-1 Heat.
In the West, the Nuggets 2-0 Lakers, the Timberwolves 2-0 Suns, the Thunder 2-0 Pelicans, only the Mavericks got a win on the road, and the Clippers 1-1 Mavericks.
Judging from the first 2 games, which teams are likely to complete the following grams?
Teams with a high probability of being out in the first round: Magic, Pelicans.
Without particularly big injuries, the Magic and Pelicans would have had a hard time winning the series in the first round.
The strength and experience of the Magic have a big gap with the Cavaliers, and the difference in the quality of the stars is not small, combined with the state of the first 2 games, the Magic is behind in all aspects, and the current 0-2 Magic is almost impossible to reverse, and even winning a game is already their goal.
Although the Thunder are young, in the first two games, they also showed great desire to win, coupled with the gap in the team's strength, the Thunder defeated the Pelicans to advance.
Teams counting on miracles: 76ers, Lakers, Suns, Heat.
The biggest difference between these four teams and the Pelicans and Magic is that they have the possibility of creating miracles, although it is unlikely:
After all, the 76ers still have an Embiid, and the Knicks are also on the younger side.
The Lakers themselves are an uncontrollable team, and they can rain three points and one point at any time.
The Suns also have Durant and Booker.
The Heat's mental attributes have been proven in recent years, and they are a team that should not be underestimated.
If there is no very special data, then these 4 teams are basically out of the first round.
Probably the following teams: Mavericks, Pacers.
The only ones who could really be on the gram are the Mavericks and the Pacers.
The Clippers' performance in the regular season has shown that they are an inconsistent team that lacks a qualified interior player. And the Mavericks also have Doncic and Irving on their side.
In the previous 2 meetings, there was only 1 Doncic, once 2-4 out, 1 3-4 out, this time there is Irving, plus Leonard has just returned from the Clippers, the team is not in the best condition, and the Mavericks do have hope to achieve the following grams. The key depends on the performance of the two teams, and sometimes the difference between victory and defeat is a fraction of a second.
The Bucks are missing Brother Alphabet, and their own strength is greatly reduced. After the run-in of the first game, the Pacers have gradually found the feeling of the playoffs, and the current Bucks are not far behind the Trail Blazers of the year.
In the first round of the playoffs last season, the Heat black 8 Bucks, the Lakers black 7 Grizzlies, the Warriors black 6 Kings, and the Knicks black 5 Cavaliers, a total of 4 groups of less than 1 grams. In the 4 groups below, except for the Warriors who fell behind 0-2, the other teams grabbed the home court advantage in the first 2 games.
So on the whole, the possibility of the first round of this season is indeed not too big.
