As the pinnacle of the NBA season draws near, we are back with another episode to communicate our anticipation for the annual event and also take a look at the the last two teams standing match up against each other.

We first take a look at some takeaways from their last meeting on March 1st then proceed to point out some possible offensive and defensive strategies that could be employed. How might Boston slow down Luka & the Mavs Pick & Rolls, what does the return of Porzingis mean for the Celtics' approach, and more!
