theguru Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I am ready to jump back into some pro hoops. Going into the playoffs what do I need to know, who are the favorites, anything else? From NBA.com: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugatti Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 The Suns have looked the part all season, dominating on both ends of the court. I can't imagine them not coming out of the West. In the East you can make an argument for five teams to make the Finals, but I will stick with the Bucks setting up a rematch of last year's finals. Phoenix seems like they are on a mission to prove last year's run was not a fluke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how half of the games are in the NBA but with infinite more talent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely opposite end of the spectrum for me. I will watch series finals and that's about it. I will watch just about any NCAA tournament game. I've taken Thursday and Friday off of the opening weekend for probably the past 12 or so years. NBA just doesn't do it for me. Maybe it's the fact that I don't live near a team just never been that into it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of Reason Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 And you can put me right in the middle. I like both the NCAA March Madness and the NBA playoffs with perhaps a slight edge to the NCAA. More drama and unpredictability in the NCAA but incredible skill, athleticism and strategy in the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like individual games in the NCAA tournament but the superior talent is what I like most about the NBA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurplePride92 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Put me in the Suns and Bucks camp with Suns winning it all. Devin Booker is the Finals MVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
