Who is the best team left in the playoffs, I have my team but what is yours? This playoffs has been non-stop action so far from each team and every star player. We are currently in the semi finals of the playoffs and without a doubt these 8 teams are the best 8 teams in the league. I think some upsets will happen and one is already on the verge of happening with the Heat vs Bucks. The Heat are up in the series 3-1 and will in my opinion close it out in 5, especially with Giannis being injured with an "ankle sprain". Every game has been great and I am excited for the games this week!

The first round of the was amazing. We saw some great performances in every series but unfortunately some teams are now going home as they did not advance. Teams like the Mavs, Jazz, and Thunder all fought hard to push the series to late games but just could not get the job done. I think the semi finals series will be better and this round will be the round of upsets. I have my series predictions, what are yours?

The NBA players decided to return from their boycott to finish out the playoffs. I agree with what they did because they realized how huge the platform of the playoffs was and knew they can continue to use it to help effect change. Some of the things they agreed on upon their return were amazing and will make a difference. With basketball returning over the weekend though we did see some great performances and we saw some teams be eliminated from the first round.

Life is more important than basketball, if the Celtics and Raptors decide to sit out I hope they get the support of their brothers. The NBA has a huge platform that these players can use and help effect change! In this episode I will talk about the games so far this week, when I told everybody this was some of the best basketball we have seen in a while I meant it. It feels like every team in the playoffs has had a game where one of their players went off. Some teams already have been sent home and both if those teams have let go of there head coach, will that be the fate for any more coaches if they lose their series?

In this episode I am going to be discussing three different topics I saw on social media. Those topics are: people blaming the 76ers players instead of front office/coaches for the bad season, Aaron Rodgers is overrated and out of his prime, and the value of time.

The bubble has been amazing! We have seen some legendary performances including this weekend were we saw 4. Lebron had an amazing game Thursday where he had 39 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists. On Sunday we saw three great performances and two were in the same game. Luka had 43 points, 17 rebounds, and 13 assists making him the third player in NBA history to have a playoff game with 40+ points, 15+ rebounds, and 10+ assists! Luka went crazy against the clippers tying the series 2-2 without KP, he also hit a game winner in over time... Luka is a beast. Also on Sunday we saw Spida Mitchell have 51 points against the nuggets making joining Allen Iverson and Michael Jordan as the only 3 guys to have 50+ multiple times in the same series. On the nuggets though Jamal Murray did his thing scoring a playoff career 50 points but he also had 11 rebounds and 7 assists, dude is a baller! This playoffs has been amazing so far and its crazy to imagine we are still in the first round.

Now that game 2 of the playoffs is over we are starting to see the difference teams. Some teams are dominating their series while some teams are struggling to find their identity. One thing I can say is that I am glad to have playoff basketball back and something to look forward to each and everyday. Most of my predictions have been right so far and I hope it can stay that way. The huge takeaway from the playoffs for the ones who haven't noticed is there is no advantages in these playoffs. Since there is no home court team advantages teams cannot bank on playing 2 games at home, every game is on the same court so the best team will usually win. With that being said do you think there is any favorite to win the championship after game 2? From what I am noticing no there is not, the three favorites have all lost and had bad games thus far.

All the game 1's were played the past two days, there were crazy all time performances, upsets, and guys who just folded. The NBA did an amazing job by making this bubble, we are getting the chance to watch playoff basketball. Hopefully the teams and players continue to do their thing so we get exciting basketball each day. The great thing about this bubble is since all the teams are together we get to see the games every other day because no team has to travel. There will be no asterisk on the team who wins the finals this year because no team has an advantage, both number 1 seeded teams lost yesterday. Today and tomorrow will be game 2 for each series in the playoffs and some teams need to have a bounce back performance to have a chance in advancing to the next round.
